Code

Installing and building

Grab the contents of the code directory, put it on your Pi, and do a "make". This should build everything and create an executable called "oscbox".

Running

Just running the "oscbox" executable will start everything up. The display has a flashing cursor in the upper left.
The code will try to set /dev/tty1 to graphics mode to make the cursor go away.
This requires root access, so you'll need to do "sudo oscbox" to make the cursor go away.

Auto start

To be really useful you want the program to run automatically when the system is powered on. I placed oscbox in /usr/local/bin, changed owner to root, and made the permissions 4755.

sudo cp oscbox /usr/local/bin
sudo chown root:root /usr/local/bin/oscbox
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/local/bin/oscbox

Then I edited /etc/rc.local and added a line to run /usr/local/bin/oscbox.
