Building Iris.

For building, you will need:
- A compiler to create mips binaries.  Unless you run on a mips platform, which
  is unlikely, that means a cross-compiler.
- The pythonic preprocessor, pypp.
- Python
- mkimage, from the Debian package uboot-mkimage.

The last two can simply be installed using your favorite package manager.  For
the cross compiler, please follow the instructions from
report/cross-compiler.tex.

Pypp can be downloaded using
svn co http://a82-93-13-222.adsl.xs4all.nl/svn/trunk/pypp

To build, it needs libshevek, which can be downloaded with
svn co http://a82-93-13-222.adsl.xs4all.nl/svn/trunk/libshevek

For both of them, dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us in their directory creates a Debian
package which can be installed.  Install libshevek*deb before building pypp.
If you are not using Debian, use
autoreconf -f -i -s
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

When all is installed, "make" should be enough to create "uimage".  To use it,
make the first partition of an SD card (it really must be SD; MMC does not
work) smaller than 32 MB; I use 16 MB myself.  Format it as FAT and copy uimage
to it.  Then insert it in the Trendtac (it fits upside down) and boot with
Fn+left Ctrl+left Shift pressed.  When caps and scroll lock are flashing, Iris
is booting (the flashing lights are from uboot, not from Iris, but they
indicate that the SD image is used).  Then you can release the keys.

If anything doesn't work, or you have other comments, please send a message to
Bas Wijnen <wijnen@debian.org>.  Thanks.
