Cross-Compiling application

• Create new program file of your application on Host PC

~/

nano hello_app.c

• Write a content of your application

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
        printf("!!!...Hello World...!!!\n");
        return 0;
}

• Build the source using arm cross-compiler

${CC}gcc hello_app.c -o hello_app_exe

Execute binary on ARCA-V2

• Transfer final built binary to VIBEQ / ARCA-V2

The VIBEQ / ARCA-V2 has already support for SSH. The final build binary can be transferred from Host PC to VIBEQ / ARCA-V2 using scp command.

Connect to ARCA-V2 WiFi hotspot SSID: arca_wifi_ap and transfer the executable file from Host PC

~/

sudo scp hello_app_exe root@192.168.12.1:/root/

Please note fill your Host PC user password for sudo and VIBEQ / ARCA-V2 root user password for scp command.

• Execute binary on VIBEQ / ARCA-V2

The executable binary file is already transferred and now login to ARCA-V2 using SSH client for executing it

ssh root@192.168.12.1
