Hi,
my name is Tom and i am an embedded developer.
I am aiming to dig into the CSI0 camera interface for the bananapi.
Admittedly, i am new to the linux way of coding and compilation.
Thus far for armbian, i realized,...
....compilation by script "compile.sh"...which checks all needed tools, code, updates...downloads everything...runs a config screen to select target, platform, ...and yeah..it works.
When i run the script two times ...it keeps compiling again. hmm+
My experience is, that i do have the sourcecode, a compiler script/makefile....and it will just update the changes i did on the source. (old scool:-)
so if i have the source in a directory local on the computer (after a one time compile with compile.sh), .. then modifying the code..if i run compile.sh again, will it overwrite my changes by downloading again?
Also i do see "patches". So patches (diff files to the original source files) are ?? uploaded to the git...and ?? will be applied during the compilation??
As you can tell, linux devel-newbi:-)
So..how do i work on the sourcecode locally on my computer...ie. run the compiler, and finally supply "patches" then when i found a solution?
Please give me a little guideline on local development the armbian source.
(quick and easy...not long)
regards Tom
