How to get the Linaro distribution

Install Linaro 12.04 nano distribution
== Overview of How-To ==
This How-To is meant to be a starting point for people to learn install a Linaro image for OMAP3-based IGEP platforms as quickly and easily as possible.  Unless otherwise noted, this How-To works with the '''Ubuntu 10.10''' but most of the contents are valid also for other GNU/Linux distributions. We do not issue any guarantee that this will work on other distributions. <br>
== Feedback and Contributing ==
*Handset (A KDE/Plasma based user interface)
=== Linaro 10.11 ===You can download the linaro rootfs releases from here:

Install needed packages, on Ubuntu Or directly from the linaro website.
sudo apt-get install uboot-mkimage uuid-runtime realpath
Next create a working directory == Install Linaro 12.04 nano distribution ==
mkdir linaro cd Download the linaropackage tarball
Download latest linaro tools to a location in your PATH, e wget http://downloads.gisee. $HOMEbiz/pub/distros/binlinaro/: linaro-nano-12.04-0.tar.gz
wget http://downloads.igep.es/linaro/10.11/linaro-hwpack-create wget http://downloads.igep.es/linaro/10.11/linaro-hwpack-install wget http://downloads.igep.es/linaro/10.11/linaro-media-Once the file is downloaded you can create cp linaro-image-tools/linaro-media-create $HOME/bin cp linaro-image-tools/linaro-hwpackbootable SD-* $HOME/binCard, under Linux, untar the package
Now it's time to download the software image and the hardware pack for our target tar xzf linaro-nano-12.04-0. We've download the Netbook style UI image, but you can download another (http://releasestar.gz cd linaro-nano-12.org) 04-0
wget http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-m/netbook/final/linaroInsert a SD-mCard media and use the igep-netbookmedia-eflcreate script to create a bootable SD-tar-20101108-1.tar.gz wget http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-m/hwpacks/final/hwpack_linaro-igep_20101109-1_armel.tarCard.gz
Installing the build onto a media that your hardware can recognise is done using the linaro ./igep-media-create script. -–mmc &lt;mmc&gt; --image &lt;image file&gt; --machine &lt;machine&gt;
#Insert your SD card into the host machine (the machine you downloaded the image and hwpack to). #Ensure you know the device node for your sd card reader. In the following example we assume /dev/mmcblk0. If you are unsure of the device node of your SD card, remove and reinsert the card and type dmesg on the command line. The last few lines should give you the device node of the card you just inserted. #In the directory where you downloaded the image and hwpack run linaro-media-create (NOTE: be sure to delete all partitions on the SD Card before running linaro-media-create otherwise it will fail!)
linaro-media-create --rootfs ext3 --&lt;mmc /dev/mmcblk0 &gt; -is the SD-dev igep \Card device of your computer. &lt;image file&gt; --binary linaro-m-netbook-efl-tar-20101108-1.taris the file that contains bootloader, kernel and rootfs image.gz \ &lt;machine&gt; --hwpack hwpack_linaro-igep_20101109-1_armel.taris the IGEP Processor Board.gzAvailable options are:
Finally, plug the SD card in your board and boot. *igep0020 - For IGEP v2 Processor Board *igep0030 - For IGEP COM MODULE Processor Board *igep0032 - For IGEP COM PROTON Processor Board
== Linaro wifi kernel support ==For example, assuming the SD-card device takes '/dev/sdf' and you have an IGEPv2 board ('igep0020'), type
You can download the kernel images release 2 .6/igep-media-create --mmc /dev/sdf --machine igep0020 --image linaro-nano-12.3504-10100.tar.17&nbsp;with wifi support from our website: bz2
#[http://downloads.igep.es/linaro/10.11/linux-imageFor example, assuming the SD-2.6.35-1010-linaro-omap_2.6.35-1010.17_armel.deb Kernel link]. #[http:card device takes '/dev/downloads.igep.es/linaro/10.11/linux-headers-2.6.35-1010-linaro-omap_2.6.35-1010.17_armel.deb Kernel headers.]sdb' and you have an IGEP COM&nbsp;MODULE ('igep0030'), type
== SGX Acceleration [EXPERIMENTAL!] ==./igep-media-create --mmc /dev/sdb --machine igep0030 --image linaro-nano-12.04-0.tar.bz2
These methods should give you a bootable SD-card. Insert the bootable SD-card media into the micro-SD card socket of IGEP device and power on it. This worked for me, no idea if it works for anyone! should result in a running system with a Linaro nano image.
1. == Install the linux kernel headers for the linaro version that is running on your board in my case Other Linaro Distributions ==
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2Please follow the next [http://labs.6isee.35-1008-linaro-omapbiz/index.php/How_to_boot_from_MicroSD_Card howto].<br>
2. Get the openGL backend: == Videos ==
