Building Zebra (zebkit) packages inside the GDP


Zebra(zebkit) library that follows easy OOP concept, provides HTML5 Canvas based Rich UI 
So to add this to the GDP my GSOC mentors asked me to learn how to write recipes in kernal. So I followed some tutorials and Documentations and also with the community support.

 With that help, I generated the kernel recipe using Recipetool 


https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TipsAndTricks/NPM

 Under the hood, devtool runs recipetool create with the same fetch URI. Recipe tool downloads each dependency, capturing license details where possible and generates a recipe file. The recipe file is fairly simple but will contain every license that recipetool has found and include it in the LIC_FILES_CHKSUM. Many node modules have unclear licensing so you'll see "unknown" in the LICENSE field. Have a look at the modules not listed.

 Using recipe tool I generated the recipe file see this GitHub patch

 https://github.com/akilawickey/meta-genivi-dev/commit/94f5427aaffea0a141547697b1da203463545353.patch

 So I recreated the work which I have done from the beginning.
  1. This is the steps how to include zebkit recipes to gdp and build a target to run the zebra
  3. https://github.com/GENIVI/genivi-dev-platform.git
  4. cd genivi-dev-platform
  5. source init.sh qemux86-64
  6. cd ../meta-genivi-dev/meta-genivi-dev/
  7. wget https://github.com/akilawickey/meta-genivi-dev/commit/94f5427aaffea0a141547697b1da203463545353.patch
  8. git am -i *.patch
  9. #Edit the genivi-dev-platform.bb using nano
  10. nano recipes-dev-platform/images/genivi-dev-platform.bb
  11. #open it and add this line to bottem
  12. IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " zebkit"
  13. cd ../../gdp-src-build
  14. bitbake genivi-dev-platform
After Building the GDP with zebra recipe I got zebra dependencies inside the GDP.

 Then I downloaded the qemux86-64 target machine and booted the machine and checked it.
zebra packages have been successfully added in the target machine.

After adding the zebra recipe to GDP and build GDP selecting target as Qemu. I booted the machine and I got zebra packages on location
 /usr/lib/node_modules/zebkit/index.html


This is the recipe file for building zebra 

My next task is running a zebra sample application inside qemux86-64 target machine.

Here is the whole Documentation at genivi pages

Node.js how to work with Serial ports and display data on a beautiful frontend using Highcharts API Part 2

Image
Now you have some basic idea of the technologies we are using here. So let's get our hands dirty. First, we have to set up the Node js libraries correctly to handle the serial data and open a WebSocket. So simple what we here going to do is getting data from USB and put them into a GUI to visualize our data nicely. So for this tutorial, I'm going to use Arduino as my data source. Piratically this will be your sensor or devices which you are using. Here http://www.highcharts.com/  Highcharts makes it easy for developers to set up interactive charts in their web pages. This has good community support and this is best for our works. 1. First step clone this repository https://github.com/akilawickey/nodejs-serial-frontend/tree/master Here is the Arduino sketch sample.ino which I'm using to emulate data which you can find inside the repository 1: /* 2: * This code will emulate USB data 3: * 4: * 5: */ 6: // the setup function run...
