now ı create a directory name of nodeapp than create project

mkdir nodeapp

cd nodeapp

touch app.js

npm init --yes

npm install serialport --save

but ı take an error :

please help me about this problem so important for us.

thank you so much …

What exact BSP version do you use? (Check login screen or use cat /etc/issue).

3

Can you provide the output of opkg list_installed | grep libc6?

There are a few other dependencies that are required for this module to build.

First, the architecture tune was changed for the upstream package libc6-dev and subsequently was moved to another repo arch by Angstrom - our upstream distro. You’ll want this package installed for native compilation on the target. You can install it by doing the following:

echo "src/gz base2 http://feeds.toradex.com/angstrom/feeds/v2015.06/ipk/glibc/armv7ahf-vfp-neon/base" >> /etc/opkg/base-feed.conf
opkg update
opkg install libc6-dev

Note: libc6-dev is normally installed in the process of installing packagegroup-sdk-target. This issue is resolved in future image releases.

Then you will also need a few more python packages:

opkg install python-misc python-compiler python-multiprocessing

Finally, you should be able to install the serialport node module:

npm install serialport --save
