Looks like the low memory killer. Are you trying to build GNU Radio on
the BeagleBoard? If so, cross-compiling will save a lot of time in the
end.

We've been building gnuradio on the beagle because we can. Most of the 
time. For small changes it is "easier", after the initial build.

However, lately people have been running into the OOM killer. I'm told 
adding swap will help.

When I get back from Germany, one of my tasks is to set up a cross tool 
chain so we can easily develop code quickly. The idea is to have OE 
generete the cross sdk for us including all the supporting libraries.

Re: Error while building GNU Radio on Beagleboard.

Hello, Ashwin,

 

I've encoutered similar problem when I tried to native-compile a 3D graphics tool called 'Panda3D'. As Philip said above, adding swap memory will solve the problem.

You can either make a swap file in your filesystem or add a swap partition.

 

As for me, I tried with extra storage in my 8G SD card first. Later I thought that frequent read/write access of the swap operation on SD card might slow down the compilation performance further. So, I used a 40GB usb hard disk instead of swap partition on the SD card. I did not measured the performance quantatitively but it seemed to be a bit faster.

 

Moreover, while I compile the program throughly(It took more than 30 hours in total. A long journey!), I found that some objects generated were corrupted. I did not track down the problem exactly but I was pretty suspicous on the writing lag to the SD card. (Once you do any file operation on the SD card, you should type 'sync' not to loose the changes.) So, I eventually moved all the codes to compile to the usb hard disk and did the compilation there. It actually was not that bad!

 

I used 1GB of swap partition. either 128MB or 256MB of RAM is not enough at all for gcc operation. 

 

Regards,

Hi,

I got the following error while building GNU Radio , i tried to search
for the error it said something about swap space in some ubuntu forums,
but i am not sure if its the same issue on beagleboard.

libstdc++ error while building GNU Radio on Beagleboard.

Hi,

while building GNU radio on beagleboard , i encountered libstdc++ error, 
At first it was 
Cannot find libstdc++.so in /lib/ i copied libstdc++.so from /usr/lib/ to lib/ 
but the file was 0 bytes.
I didnt see this error again but then after doing make i got following error:

I checked if libtool was present , it was up to date.

root <at> beagleboard:~/gnuradio# opkg install libtool
Package libtool (2.2.6b-r25.0.5) installed in root is up to date.

Steps i followed while building GNU radio:

1. Installed prerequisites:

opkg install  libusb1-dev guile-dev fftwf-dev alsa-dev alsa-lib-dev jack-dev 
cppunit-dev swig python-devel python-numpy-dev python-textutils 
python-distutils python-re python-stringold python-lang 
python-threading python-unittest python-shell python-pickle
python-pprint python-compiler python-pkgutil python-pydoc 
python-mmap python-netclient python-difflib python-compile
python-cheetah boost-dev gsl-dev sdcc git util-linux-ng util-linux-  ng-
swaponoff

2. did ./bootstrap

3. then ./configure --disable-usrp2 --with-fusb-tech=libusb1 CFLAGS="-
march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp" CXXFLAGS="-
march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp"

Here i got a output:
The following components were skipped because you asked not to build them or 
they didn't pass configuration tests

usrp2
gr-usrp2
gr-utils
grc
and the audio osx and windows packages ..

I went over the config.log file 
it said didnt build gr-wxgui because it cannot find wxpython, 
then it didnt build grc because of gr-wxgui and xdg-mime.

Is it possible to build grc on beagleboard?

4. Make gave me the above listed errors.

I am stuck at this point and not able to go ahead. Plz help.

Thanks in advance.

sorry that was a long post but will make it shorter and in chunks.

Try rerunning configure after removing all the la files you can find.

USRP Embedded

Ettus research was showing this at the European Reconfigurable Radio 
Technology Workshop.

I'm working on the FPGA to ARM device driver for them.

Wow, amazing! Something like this has been on my wish list for quite some time.
The little board mounted on the large board, is that a Gumstix Overo?
