How to prepare your host machine to build boxee and CE4100 SDK
=====================================================================

Install Ubuntu Desktop.

# sudo apt-get install wget patch flex bison gettext libtool autoconf cmake nasm gperf g++ gawk doxygen swig libsdl-image1.2-dev liblzo2-dev php5-cli

If you are using Ubuntu 9.10 or earlier:

# sudo apt-get install python2.4-minimal

If you are using Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit or newer:

# cd /tmp
# wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.4/python2.4-minimal_2.4.6-1ubuntu3.2.9.10.1_i386.deb
# sudo dpkg --install python2.4*deb 

If you are using Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit or newer:

# cd /tmp
# wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python2.4/python2.4-minimal_2.4.6-1ubuntu3.2.9.10.1_amd64.deb
# sudo dpkg --install python2.4*deb 

=====================================================================
How to build the CE4100 SDK 
=====================================================================

# sudo mkdir /mnt/iso

Go to intel's site, under Intel Media Processor 3100
Download the tar.gz and extract it. This will create a bunch of ISO files.

For each file (start with BASE):
# sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro <filename>.iso /mnt/iso
# cd /mnt/iso
# bash installer
# cd ..
# sudo umount /mnt/iso

This extracted everything to $HOME/IntelCE-<version>

# cd $HOME/IntelCE-<version>
# make menuconfig
# sudo make

Wait a few hours...

Then, setup NFS, DHCP, TFTP, etc according to the Intel docs

=====================================================================
Setup CE4100 box
=====================================================================

1. During boot hit CTRL-C to enter RedBoot console
2. Type: fconfig and hit enter

load -v -r -m tftp -h 10.5.0.1 -b 0x200000 bzImage.pr13.11
exec -b 0x200000 -l 0x300000 -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.5.0.1:/home/yuvalt/IntelCE-13.94515/project_build_i686/IntelCE/root,nolock rw mem=exactmap memmap=1M@0 memmap=639M@1M ip=dhcp"

Hit enter until the end. Last question answer "y".

=====================================================================
Boxee specific environment
=====================================================================

# sudo mkdir /opt/canmore
# sudo ln -s $HOME/IntelCE-<version>/build_i686/staging_dir /opt/canmore/IntelCE
# sudo ln -s $HOME/IntelCE-<version>/build_i686/staging_dir/bin /opt/canmore/toolchains
# sudo ln -s $HOME/IntelCE-<version>/project_build_i686/IntelCE/root /opt/canmore/targetfs
# sudo ln -s $HOME/IntelCE-<version> /opt/canmore/sdk
# cd /opt/canmore
# sudo tar xvfJ $(SRC)/canmore/local.tar.xz 

Add /opt/canmore/toolcahin to PATH in ~/.bash_profile Try to run i686-cm-linux-gcc.

Remote the config.h from Intel SDK as it's causing Boxee build problems:
# cd /opt/canmore/IntelCE/include
# mv config.h config.h.orig

Add "DisableHWTextureUpload=1" in /etc/powervr.ini .

edit /etc/platform_config/ce4100/platform_config.hcfg:
       media_base_address = 0x28000000      //640M

=====================================================================
Building debug/non-optimized version
=====================================================================

./bootstrap
autoconf
# for debug build do the following:
./canmore/configure.sh -d 
# for optimized build do the following:
./canmore/configure.sh
make Boxee
for 32-bit: make -C tools/TexturePacker -f Makefile.host
for 64-bit: make -C tools/TexturePacker -f Makefile.host64
make -C skin/boxee/media nocompress

=====================================================================
Installation
=====================================================================

Copy the 3rd party libraries to the target filesystem. This needs to be 
done once whenever the targetfs-addons.tar.xz changes:

# mkdir /opt/canmore/targetfs/opt/local
# cd /opt/canmore/targetfs/opt/local
# tar xvfj $(SRC)/canmore/targetfs-local.tar.xz

The following copies all the required files to /opt/canmore/targetfs/opt/boxee:

# ./canmore/install_full.sh 

=====================================================================
Run Boxee
=====================================================================

From the CE4100 console:

/opt/boxee/run_boxee.sh

Getting to a console if your box launches straight into boxee:

Get the IP of the box from network status. telnet into that IP.
Kill the run_boxee and Boxee processes (in that order) and the console
should now be 'live'.

Stopping boxee from launching automatically at boot:

After doing the above, remove the /etc/rc3.d boxee script. This will
boot you to console instead of to boxee.

Running boxee from your developer working copy:

The easy method is to get to the console on your boxee box, mount the
working directory you use via nfs, and launch boxee from there.
On the boxee console:
mkdir /mnt/work
mount -t nfs <dev_machine_ip>:/opt/canmore/targetfs/opt/boxee /mnt/work -o nolock
