Installing gstreamer on Root File System built using Arago

Base file system

We will use Arago based file system.

Either build complete file system from scratch or download a pre-built file system from here. davinci-psp_3.x.0.0-r33 is the recommended version.

Once the file system is in place and target is booted, setup target for internet access:

If required, configure HTTP proxy:

$ export http_proxy=<your proxyserver>

Also setup resolve.conf:

$ echo "nameserver <your nameserver>" > /etc/resolv.conf

We will use opkg system to install additional features. Execute following commands on target as root:

$ cd /etc/opkg/
$ echo "src/gz base http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2011.03/ipk/glibc/armv5te/base" > angstrom-armv5te-base-feed.conf 
$ opkg update

gstreamer

Install gstreamer:

$ cd /etc/opkg/
$ echo "src/gz gstreamer http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2011.03/ipk/glibc/armv5te/gstreamer" > angstrom-armv5te-gstreamer-feed.conf
$ opkg update
$ opkg install gstreamer
