Intel Edison

Prerequisites
Build Kaa application

This guide explains how to cross-compile Kaa C SDK for Intel Edison. Alternatively, you can build the Kaa C SDK directly on the Intel Edison board. For more information, see Linux guide for Kaa C SDK.

NOTE: This guide is verified against:

Host OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Desktop 64-bit

Target OS: Poky (Yocto Project Reference Distro) 1.7.3, kernel version 3.10.17-poky-edison+

Prerequisites

Perform the following instructions on the host machine:

Download the cross compile tools for your platform, 32-bit or 64-bit version. Unpack the downloaded archive.
```
tar -xvf edison-toolchain-20150120-linux64.tar.bz2
```
Install the toolchain.
```
cd i686
./install_script.sh
```
While running the installation script, you may get an error message: find: invalid mode '+111'. Fix it by running the command below.
```
sed -i 's:+111:/111:' install_script.sh
```
The cross-compilation toolchain is installed to the current directory by default. On some configurations, the script installs the toolchain to /opt/poky-edison/1.6.1/.
Install Cmake:
```
sudo apt-get install cmake
```

Build Kaa application

After you installed the required dependencies and built the C SDK, you can build and run your Kaa application.

Since Edison runs on Linux, you can use the Linux guide to build and run your application.

NOTE: Make sure to specify correct compiler name when compiling your Kaa application for Edison:
cmake -DKAA_MAX_LOG_LEVEL=3 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=PATH_TO_KAA_SDK/toolchains/edison.cmake -DEDISON_SDK_ROOT=PATH_TO_EDISON_SDK -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF ..
make
Replace PATH_TO_KAA_SDK with the path to Kaa C SDK relative to the build directory, and PATH_TO_EDISON_SDK with the absolute path to the Edison SDK installation directory

For more information on how to build, upload and run your application on Edison board, see official user guide.
