= Installation ='''Note: Most of this information is duplicated elsewhere. It needs to be verified and removed as necessary.'''
See [[Amahi_Plug_Edition | Amahi_Plug_Edition]] for installation and supported devices.
 
= Warboard and Apps =
 
For known issues, check the [[Plug warboard | warboard]]
 
= Applications =
 
For known issues and working apps check the [[Plug Apps | Plug Apps]] page
= Getting the plug booting Fedora 12 =
For [TAB], hit the TAB key; the value there will be unique to each SheevaPlug computer, so TAB will allow you to auto-fill the correct value. Once connected, if you want to close your terminal session, hit Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-K (or Shift-K on Linux). You'll be asked if you're sure you want to kill this window; just say yes!
 
= Amahi Install =
 
After booting from it,
 
* 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 have inserted the USB Flash Drive and boot the system
* Until we optimize things, it will take 4 or 5 minutes to boot the first time.
* The first time it boots, it will try to use DHCP. In my case, I configured a static IP so that when it boots with DHCP I know what IP it has. This may be different than the static you configured above.
Note that the sticker on the SP device with the MAC address on it is sometimes wrong. i.e. the MAC address your device will use will be different from the address on this sticker. Use nmap or ping -b to find new devices on your LAN, if you can't find it on your DHCP server.
* Access the installer via http://IP_OR_NAME_OF_THE_PLUG_IN_DHCP:2000/
* Wait patiently if it does not respond. This does require internet connectivity
* The installer takes about 1 minute to install with that :)
* Input the install code for that system
* When asked to, click the big red button to reboot
* The reboot will take a minute or two
* Access it with the configured IP: http://IP_OR_NAME_OF_THE_PLUG/
* First login: admin/amahi. I will ask you to reset the password the first time
 
'''NOTE:''' 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.).
= Using the onboard NAND flash as a swap drive =
