Bench and Flight Computers are Provisioned
May 24th, 2008
Getting Linux From Scratch on the bench computer took a lot longer than I thought it would, but it’s done. I now have the bench computer running from a 80GB laptop hard drive and the flight computer runs off a 2GB compact flash with a minimal installation.
The next phase will be to write kernel drivers to support the IO cards in the stack, beginning with the digital and analog IO boards. We should be able to control actuators from the bench pretty soon.
