Ok done these steps on my Ubuntu VM, what would be the next step after ""make deploy"" for installing no-ip to my machine?
Very nice you now have the dev environment for the SPxx, now all that is left is the routine to update the NoIP servers with your ip. NoIP have an api for that
here. All you need to do now (in code to include on the SPxx) is obtain the SPxx gateway IP (i.e your internet IP NOT the SPxx IP) and periodically update their servers on where to find you. Theres also an arduino forum discussion on implementing NoIP that may interest you
here.
PS. I have to say you can implement that routine above in pearl (or any scripting language the SPxx OS supports) rather than the arduino way, so just provided for the interfacing with NoIP.
Ok great thanks for helping! Noip's api should help. I don't need to find my WAN IP address, I tested it by just typing
in my browser, and the host IP correctly updates itself.
So I guess I should make the SPxx send a HTTP header GET request periodically (like every 2 hours), I could include it in a crontab.
But I don't know how to use the dev environment I am supposed to have now in my VM, and then how to move my work to my SPxx..
I am now sitting on the ubuntu prompt..

Edit:
I found out that by logging with ssh and running
works and updates the ip!
