= Getting the plug booting Fedora 12 =
Here are the steps to make the plug boot from USB
<!-- * General [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/SheevaplugUSB directions]
* get the rootfs-f12.tar.bz2 from
http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/rootfs/-->* Perform USB Flash Drive Prep (see below)
* Connect the JTAG module and connect the USB side to a terminal emulator
* Putty for windows (Serial)
* Reset the device from the JTAG module
* At the terminal, press enter a couple of seconds after boot to prevent it booting to the flash
* There are some commands to make it permanently boot off USB(this only has to be done once):
setenv mainlineLinux yes
saveenv
reset
= USB Flash Drive Prep =
In order to install the rootfs onto a flash or disk, mount the flash drive on a linux system and execute the create-clean-f12-disk.sh script. It may take a while, but this must be done before booting up the plug and installing Amahi.
This script is very dangerous (it can destroy the machine it is run on if not used properly). You will need to change the partition destination.
= Amahi Install =
* Configure a profile for the system in http://www.amahi.org. Pay attention to the IP of the HDA you configure. Let's call it PLUG_FIXED_IP.
* Ensure you do have done the USB Flash Drive Prep nowbefore continuing.
* Boot the system with the latest rootfs (amahi-marvell-0.2.tar.bz2).
* Until we optimize things, it will take 4 or 5 minutes to boot the first time.
With about 1/8th of the rpms on a typical x86 install, you will experience a lot of failures with apps (VPN does not work, apps will be missing deps, etc. etc.).
