AirNavigator

Welcome to AirNavigator repository!
This is an open source HSI navigation application for TomTom devices.
For more informations about this project: https://www.alus.it/airnavigator

This is the README file for developers.
The README file for final users is located here: ./release/README.txt

Contributors are warmly welcome!

Preparing the development environment

In order to compile C programs to ARM executables through a Linux PC, follow the steps described here. Alternatively, you may consider building your own toolchain.

  1. Start bash and verify that a C source program can be correctly compiled to a Linux executable.
  2. Download: https://www.alus.it/airnavigator/toolchain_redhat_gcc-3.3.4_glibc-2.3.2-20060131a.tar.gz
  3. Unpack the file to /usr/local/cross
  4. Perform then the following links:
    $ cd /usr/local/cross/gcc-3.3.4_glibc-2.3.2/arm-linux/sys-root/usr/include/asm
    $ sudo ln -s arch-s3c2410 arch
    $ sudo ln -s proc-armv proc
    This is because the TTGO processor is a SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS S3C2410 (Arm920T), 32-bit architecture (so armv, while armo is for the old 26-bit ones).
  5. To cross-compile on 64 bit make sure to have installed the GNU C 32-bit shared libraries for AMD64
    $ sudo apt-get install libc6-i386
  6. Optionally export the PATH:
    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cross/gcc-3.3.4_glibc-2.3.2/bin
  7. The cross compiler is now ready!

Compiling AirNavigator

Having the toolchain installed you can then compile AirNavigator, go to his folder and type:
$ make all

With the command:
$ make zip

The make process will produce automatically the two distributions zip files.

And with:
$ make upload

The make process will copy just the AirNavigator executable to your TomTom connected via USB.
In this case the TomTom disk should be mounted under: /media/INTERNAL/
