- 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)
RPMs not available from the mirrors:
- hda-greyhole
- cadaver
- rubygem-gd2 - actually - is this one necessary?
- ruby-RMagick
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 the plug booting Fedora 12
Here are the steps to make the plug boot from USB
- General directions
- get the rootfs-f12.tar.bz2 from
http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/rootfs/
- 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:
setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv arcNumber 2097
setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=15'
setenv bootcmd_usb 'usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x6400000 /boot/uImage-2.6.30-sheevaplug'
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(console) $(bootargs_root); run bootcmd_usb; bootm 0x6400000'
saveenv
reset
Amahi Install
- report bugs!
Reporting issues
These are mostly what matter for debugging:
/root/hda-install.logegrep -v 'POST|GET|progress' /tmp/amahi-ruby-install.log
Misc Notes
- restarting rpm db in chrooted environment:
rm /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb -vv
