= How to install Amahi on Pandaboard =
If you want to install Amahi onPandaboard on Pandaboard it is highly recommended to use a USB hard disk. If not, you should go for a fast SDHC card of at least 4GB (better 8GB). If you want to install on an USB hard disk an SD card of at least 2GB is needed. Other thin gneeded thing needed is a serial cable for console access to the pandaboard.
The following steps are needed to get Amahi going.
= Install Ubuntu 12.04 on Pandaboard =
Detailed information can be found at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAP, http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/OMAP_Ubuntu_Main and http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard_Ubuntu_Pre-built_Binaries_Guide
In brief:
* on a pc Linux PC fetch the ubuntu 1112.10 04 arm server image: {{Code|wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/1112.1004/release/ubuntu-1112.1004-preinstalled-server-armelarmhf+omap4.img.gz}}
* prepare your sd card, for <device name> use the name of your sd card (not a partition) (e.g. /dev/sdf) NOTE this will overwrite the whole card!:
{{Code| sudo sh -c 'zcat ./ubuntu-1112.1004-preinstalled-server-armelarmhf+omap4.img.gz > |sudo dd bs=4M of=/dev/<device name>; sudo sync'}}
* remove the SD card from your PC, insert it into the pandaboard and hook up a serial cable (or a USB to serial cable).
* start a terminal emulator on your PC. I have used cu as minicom was horrible with the graphics of the installer.<br>
With cu and ttyUSB0 the command line reads:
{{Code|cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 115200}}
If cu claims the line is busy you might try doing this:
{{Code|sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0}}
* power the board; your panda will now boot; and start resizing the partition, after that the board will reboot.
* you will now get into the ubuntu installation dialog. I've tested with English, but feel free to try other languages.
