Hi,



Depending on the OS build you have running on your Panda, you may need to use the hard-float (hf) version of our LinuxARMv7 SDK. If you select the Linux ARM package during SDK installation, the soft-float and hard-float packages will be downloaded.



I would recommend using the pre-built binaries in our SDK to test your device before trying to build your own. This will help you isolate the problem.



Regards,

Joe
