If you want to install Amahi onPandaboard 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 is a serial cable for console access to the pandaboard.
The following steps are needed to get amahi Amahi going:\.
== Install Ubuntu on Pandaboard ==
Detailed information can be found at: http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/OMAP_Ubuntu_Main and http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/PandaBoard_Ubuntu_Pre-built_Binaries_Guide
* the packages will now install. This takes some time. A good moment to get some coffee or a beer ;-)
== Optional: move Ubuntu to a USB hard disk == 
Info is to be found here:

== Install Amahi ==
Follow the instructions for installing Amahi on i386 starting at the third instruction ("start a terminal").
Install time will depend on your network, but both the install.11.10 step and the amahi installer took around 10 minutes for me (using an USB hard disk). Of course this also depends on your network speed and on speed of the servers. On SD card this will take substantially more time.
== Install Ubuntu on BeagleBoard/BeagleBoard XM/BeagleBone ==
This is not tested by me but probably possible following the instructions for Pandaboard. BThere is (as far as I know) one deviation. As ubuntu image you need to download http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/ubuntu-11.10-preinstalled-server-armel+omap.img.gz instead of the omap4 image.
If you manage to get Amahi running on any of these boards, feel free to update this page and please mail the Amahi mailing list.
== Install Amahi on other ARMv7 boards ==
This is probably feasible. If you have Ubuntu running on it just start at step 3 of the i386 instructions. Please report successes to the mailing list and feel free to add a note to this page.
