Executive Summary

We want to try to port WireShark and see what we could get working on the BeagleBone.

We were able to put the source code on the bone and run the autogen.sh script. We launched the configure script and multiple dependencies were discovered and we're trying to figure out ways to resolve those dependencies.

So far WireShark itself isn't working due to the lack of dependency resolution.

The level of depth of this project varies at it really depends on how fast we can get it ported and what else we could do if time is permitting. We're running into quite a few issues despite some quick progress. We'll see what happens over time.


Packaging

If you have hardware, consider Small Build, Big Execuition for ideas on the final packaging.

Installation Instructions

Give step by step instructions on how to install your project.

  • Include your github path as a link like this to the read-only git site: https://github.com/MarkAYoder/gitLearn.
  • Be sure your README.md is includes an up-to-date and clear description of your project so that someone who comes across you git repository can quickly learn what you did and how they can reproduce it.
  • Include a Makefile for you code.
  • Include any additional packages installed via opkg.
  • Include kernel mods.
  • If there is extra hardware needed, include links to where it can be obtained.

User Instructions

Once everything is installed, how do you use the program? Give details here, so if you have a long user manual, link to it here.

Highlights

Here is where you brag about what your project can do.

Include a YouTube demo.
