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>

mkdir linaro cd Download the linaropackage tarball

Install wget http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/distros/linaro tools for creating the SD card as follows:/linaro-nano-12.04-0.tar.gz

sudo aptOnce the file is downloaded you can create bootable SD-get install linaro-image-toolsCard, under Linux, untar the package

(This was tested to work on ubuntu 10 tar xzf linaro-nano-12.04-0.10 at 2011tar.gz cd linaro-03nano-3012.) 04-0

In case this doesn't work, you can alternatively download latest linaro tools Insert a SD-Card media and use the igep-media-create script to create a location in your PATH, e.gbootable SD-Card. $HOME/bin/:

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-create cp linaro-media–mmc &lt;mmc&gt; --create $HOME/bin cp linaroimage &lt;image file&gt; -hwpack-* $HOME/binmachine &lt;machine&gt;

Now it's time to download the software image and the hardware pack for our target. We've download the Netbook style UI image, but you can download another (httpwhere://releases.linaro.org)

wget http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro&lt;mmc&gt; -m/netbook/final/linarois the SD-mCard device of your computer.&lt;image file&gt; -netbook-efl-tar-20101108-1is the file that contains bootloader, kernel and rootfs image.tar.gz wget http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-m/hwpacks/final/hwpack_linaro-igep_20101109&lt;machine&gt; -1_armelis the IGEP Processor Board.tar.gzAvailable options are:

Installing For example, assuming the build onto a media that your hardware can recognise is done using the linaro-mediaSD-create script. card device takes '/dev/sdf' and you have an IGEPv2 board ('igep0020'), type

#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 /igep-media-create --mmc /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 sdf --machine igep0020 --image and hwpack run linaro-medianano-create (NOTE: be sure to delete all partitions on the SD Card before running linaro12.04-media-create otherwise it will fail!)0.tar.bz2

linaroFor example, assuming the SD-media-create --rootfs ext3 --mmc card device takes '/dev/mmcblk0 --dev igep \ --binary linaro-m-netbook-efl-tar-20101108-1.tar.gz \ --hwpack hwpack_linaro-igep_20101109-1_armel.tar.gzsdb' and you have an IGEP COM&nbsp;MODULE ('igep0030'), type

Finally, plug the SD card in your board and boot . /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 should result in a running system with a Linaro wifi kernel support ==nano image.

This worked for me, no idea if it works for anyone!  1. Install the linux kernel headers for the linaro version that is running on your board in my case   sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.35-1008-linaro-omap 2. Get the openGL backend:   sudo apt-get install libegl1-sgx-omap3 libgles1-sgx-omap3 libgles2-sgx-omap3 Now you can run the demos that are mentioned in the Ubuntu guide. Have fun&nbsp;:).  == Videos == IGEPv2 running Linaro Distribution. Desktop Internet navigation .
