CentOS 6 with GUI Innovative Development

Core System with GUI

  1. Do this first and install the base just like the data system CentOS 6.5 Minimal Base Data System Install
    1. Feel free to leave things out for now you don't think you need
    2. I left the network DHCP and have it accessing the network via the shared WiFi (Dell)
    1. Adding required files
      sudo yum groupinstall -y "X Window System" "Desktop"
      sudo yum install -y gnome-core xfce4 xorg-x11-fonts
    2. Modify the init so that it starts in GUI mode
      1. Use an editor
        sudo nano /etc/inittab
      2. Change
        1. This
          id:3:initdefault:
        2. To this
          id:5:initdefault:
    3. Reboot
    4. Answer some questions
  2. Install Firefox
    sudo yum install firefox

Innovative Code

Use a PC to grab the latest code from their website. I used the FPGA Dell Laptop Dan purchased (the nice one)

  1. Download the linux and windows versions of the code (the firmware file only came down with windows)
    1. Check Malibu (linux you only get this option)
    2. Check Malibu Something Else (windows)
    3. Check x3 sdf
  2. Transfer all the files, I put them all here
    /home/lvis/download/Innovative/Innovative_x3sdf/download_linux
  3. Make a directory for the install and copy the raw files into it
    sudo mkdir /usr/Innovative
    sudo cp -a /home/lvis/download/Innovative/Innovative_x3sdf/download_linux/* /usr/Innovative/
  4. Try doing this not as root
    sudo chown -R lvis:lvis /usr/Innovative
    # NOPE, had to do sudo as it needs to make and install a kernel module
  5. Run their install script
    cd /usr/Innovative
    sudo ./Setup.sh
