* General [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/SheevaplugUSB directions]
* Connect the ethernet cable to your network (Mouton says: is this necessary now? Can't we just wait until the Amahi Install section below to connect the plug to the LAN?)
* Connect the JTAG module to the SheevaPlug (be careful; connecting it the wrong way will fry it! See the warning sticker on the plug, and the photo on the box for proper connection), and connect the USB side to your computer running PuTTY / gtkterm* On Windows: install a driver (Mouton says: where is that driver?), and [http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/SerialTerminal/Windows/PuTTY use PuTTY (serial)]. * On Linux, execute the following command, and use [http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtkterm/ gtkterm] (: use 2 stop bits & 115200 bps speed when creating the profile)* If you use Windows, you'll need to install a driver (Mouton says: where is that driver?); keep the defaults for the rest. If you use Linux, you'll need to do this before you connect the JTAG USB cable in your Linux computer:
cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/85-sheevaplug.rules <<'EOF'
# if no driver has claimed the interface yet, load ftdi_sio
SYMLINK+="sheevaplug"
EOF
* Connect On Mac, Install the JTAG module [http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/MacOSX/FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_2_14.dmg FTDI driver], download [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/sheeva/Info.plist.patch Info.plist.patch] to the SheevaPlug (be careful; connecting it the wrong way will fry it! See the warning sticker on the plugyour desktop, and then run the photo on the box for proper connection), and following commands to connect to the USB side to your computer running PuTTY SheevaPlug console: sudo patch -p0 < ~/Desktop/Info.plist.patch sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext screen /dev/ gtktermtty.usbserial-FTSKB964B 115200
* Reset the device from the JTAG module (hit the button)
* At the terminal, press enter a couple of seconds after boot to prevent it from booting using the onboard flash (Ubuntu)
* There are some commands you need to run to make it permanently boot off from the USB port ('''NOTE:''' this step is only has to be done necessary once):
