Install UPM Modules

Flash and Configure the Edison

If this is your first time using the Edison, it is recommended that you update to the latest firmware and connect to WiFi.

Build MRAA

MRAA is Intel's set of libraries used to control the low-level hardware. Because UPM relies on MRAA, we need to install it first.

Connect to the Edison over a Serial Terminal or SSH. Once logged in, enter the following commands to download MRAA:

wget https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/mraa/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
mv mraa-master mraa

Then, build MRAA with:

cd mraa
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Install the newly built libraries, and update the pkg-config path, which is needed by UPM.

make install
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

Build ili9341 and apds9960 in UPM

Next, we need to download a custom version of UPM and install the ili9341 and apds9960 modules.

cd ~
wget https://github.com/ShawnHymel/upm/archive/smartmirror.zip
unzip smartmirror.zip
mv upm-smartmirror upm

Prepare to build:

cd upm
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

Build and install the ili9341 module:

make ili9341
cd src/ili9341
make install

Build and install the apds9960 module:

cd ../..
make apds9960
cd src/apds9960
make install
