Plug notes

• 2 stop bits to get the bootloader to recognize keyboard and stop autobooting
• speed: 115200 /dev/ttyUSB1
• root/fedoraarm default password
• rpms installed for development: rsync, git, vim-enhanced, sudo, make, rpm-build, tar, httpd-devel, boot-devel, gcc-c++
• passenger: need rubygems-1.3.5-4.fc12.noarch.rpm with macro changes
• rpms installed for amahi: httpd, ruby, samba,
• build hdactl, hda-platform, install (with --nodeps)

Missing deps in the installer:

• httpd, samba, cadaver, bind-utils

RPMs not available from the mirrors:

• hda-greyhole
• rubygem-gd2 - actually - is this one necessary?

Other:

• VPN does not work (had to turn it off in servers). This could be due to the kernel not having all that it needs for TUN/TAP?:

     Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically

• Greyhole not working - hda-greyhole needed
• crontab does not appear to be working
• had to add with noatime in / to prevent flash burnout
• should control monit - it keeps on pounding the flash with messages in /var/log/monit
• would like to add swap to flash based drives
• mt-daapd and amahi-transmission are dying

Getting it Going

Here are the steps to make it boot from USB

• Connect the JTAG module and connect the USB side to a terminal emulator
• Putty for windows (Serial)
• gtkterm for linux (use 2 stop bits!)
• 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:

Amahi Install

• ssh into the plug
• yum -y install httpd
• proceed to the Self-install-existing instructions, but use the armv5tel hdactl
• input the install code!
• report bugs!
