Hello everyone,
I’m trying to install Node.js on the FX30 with WP77xx, but I’m running into some issues.
I’ve tried:
Copying the Node.js folder directly, as I did with WP76xx.
Using the arm7l version of Node.js.
I also ensured that I was using the correct architecture, but despite these efforts, Node.js isn't recognized on the FX30 WP77xx.
Could anyone guide me on the correct steps to properly install and run Node.js on the FX30 with the WP77xx module? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

What firmware are you using for wp76 and fx30?
Did you rebuild yocto image to include the nodejs recipe?
Hi Chau
Thanks for your help

Did you rebuild yocto image to include the nodejs recipe?
How can we do that do we have a procedure?
in bblayers.conf https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-nodejs.git local.conf
And build
Is that ok?

I will normally type make to build the image
Btw, what is the firmware of your wp77?

Hi Chau,
Do you know wich version of NodeJs armv7l I d to implement on WP7702?
Thanks,
have you tried with this to build together with yocto image?
BTW, I think you should use the following version for yocto project 3.1:
Hi Chau,
I m not able to build these versions, do you have a tutorial or example for me to build a Yocto project with NodeJs?
Thanks,
MY

How did you make it work in the past?
BTW, you can download the armv7l version here:
Here is some guideline:
If you want to build the binary by yourself, you can do the following:
1.follow the FX30 release note and download the yocto source
2.go to ./meta-swi/meta-swi-mdm9x28/recipes-core/images/mdm9x28-image.inc
3.add the following line:
4.go to ./meta-swi/meta-swi-mdm9x28/conf/machine/swi-mdm9x28.conf
5.make the image

Here also shows how to cross compile the nodejs source code by the toolchain (section 9.5.1.1. How to cross-compile Node.js for target platform if Node.js install fails)
Here is the toolhain of WP77 module
https://source.sierrawireless.com/resources/airprime/software/wp77xx/wp77xx-firmware-release-15,-d-,1-components/
It gives me error when cross compile running
FAILED: /home/NodeJS-CrossCompile/node-v12.16.3/out/Release/icupkg -tl ../../deps/icu-small/source/data/in/icudt65l.dat /home/didier/NodeJS-CrossCompile/node-v12.16.3/out/Release/obj/gen/icutmp/icudt65l.dat

I don’t see any error reason, did you check any compilation log?
Btw, how did you make it work in the past?
In the past we had a WP76xx and we only copied on Fx30 /home/root the folder nodejs8.9.4-r0

Then how did you build for wp76 in the past?
It was an other engineer who has leaved the company then I replace now

did you check any compilation log for the crosss compile?
You might need to download the yocto source and add nodejs
