| − | * 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

| − | = 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/
| |
| − | * 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 =
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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 do the USB Flash Drive Prep now.
| |
| − | * 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.
| |
| − | * 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.
| |
| − | * 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
| |
| | | | |
| − | 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.).
| + | * ssh into the plug |
| − | | |
| − | = 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.
