The only new thing I downloaded is the sqlite tools package precompiled for Linux: https://www.sqlite.org/2016/sqlite-tools-linux-x86-3130000.zip but you don't need them and I don't think they are your problem. I'm doing all my work from an ssh command line because I work on my projects on and off logging in from several different hosts at home or from work on a coffee break.

This link describes using the setup tool to enable ssh on your Edison (but you probably went through that setting up your board for Eclipse):

https://software.intel.com/en-us/get-started-edison-windows-step2

Once you have ssh enabled, if you're working from a Windows development host, you'll need to install an ssh client to connect to your Edison. I think Putty is the most popular one:

PuTTY Download Page

Filezilla (https://filezilla-project.org/) is great for transferring files to and from your Edison.

Unless you create a new user account, you'll connect as user 'root'. Once you have logged into your Edison, gcc is your compiler. Assuming your source file is "main.c" you would type:

root@edison:~# gcc main.c -lsqlite3

This will create an executable file called "a.out", which you can run by typing:

root@edison:~# ./a.out

Note: If your project grows beyond this test code you'll want to start using make (or cmake) as a build tool, or else sort out Eclipse properly.

Hey Loren - great job with the road test.

I noticed that you used sqlite3 in your project.

May I ask for a little help please?

I'd like to use sqlite3 in an Intel Edison project of my own - but haven't been able to find out or figure out how to get sqlite3 to link. I'm using Eclipse C/C++ and mraa etc.

sqlite3_open is showing undefined.

#include <sqlite3.h>

int main() {

int rc;

rc = sqlite3_open("/media/Database/RIOT.db3", &db);

// bla bla

}

thanks in advance

Tom

Once I received mine I finally began to appreciate what Intel has done here.

While called an Arduino compatible board, it is soo much more.

So I am taking my time to read up on the architecture and looking at all of the options.

This board can easily become a convenient hub for IOT devices and still support most of the Arduino compatible add on boards and if I read the documentation right, you can even reuse Arduino code.

That makes this board a very attractive asset.

Other than some rambling, the write up is very good. Nice to see you liked it so much you went to the trouble to get 3 more.[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-9e0a7a4d-0965-4292-8fc7-29b5e97e5e3c/contentimage_5F00_938.png:16:16]
