==Old Releases=====Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)===First, download the compressed image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/

Next, uncompress the image with

Then write the raw image to a blank SD card (the card size should be >2G)

Current boot file system (x-loader + u-boot + kernel) not works, so we need to replace. First download and extract this package

wget wget httphttps://downloadsedge.igeplaunchpad.esnet/ubuntu/maverick+source/linux/2.6.35-22.33/+buildjob/1970697/+files/linux-image-2.6.35-2322-omap_2.6.35-2322.35_armel33_armel.deb ar -x linux-image-2.6.35-2322-omap_2.6.35-2322.35_armel33_armel.deb

then, create an uImage file with

mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n "Linux" -d boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-2322-omap uImage

next, download and copy x-loader from

wget http://downloads.igepisee.esbiz/pub/SW_Releases/binaries/x-loader/v1.4.4-03/x-load-1.4.4-03.igep0020-sdcard.bin.ift cp x-load-1.4.4-03.igep0020-sdcard.bin.ift /media/<bootfs>/MLO # change <bootfs> with appropriate SD boot partition

and finally, do the same with u-boot

wget http://downloads.igepisee.esbiz/pub/SW_Releases/binaries/u-boot-arm/v2010.06-03/u-boot-arm-2010.06-03.igep0020.bin cp u-boot-arm-2010.06-03.igep0020.bin /media/<bootfs>/u-boot.bin # change <bootfs> with appropriate SD boot partition

The last step is copy boot.scr to boot.ini

cp /media/<bootfs>/boot.scr /media/<bootfs>/boot.ini # change <bootfs> with appropriate SD boot partition

Umount bootfs and rootfs partitions, push your SD card in your IGEP socket, power up and enjoy !

==== System Testing and known issues ====* Can't bring up eth0, no network - this is a known issue that has been fixed but may not have been applied yet.** https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/645689 (see tips and tricks for solution)

==== Tips and tricks =========Upgrade kernel to 2.6.35-23=====Note: This solves the eth0 issue.

===== How to cross build ubuntu maverick Donwload and copy the 2.6.35-23 kernel from sources =====

wget http://downloads.igep.es/ubuntu/maverick/linux-image-2.6.35-23-omap_2.6.35-23.40_armel.deb sudo cp linux-image-2.6.35-23-omap_2.6.35-23.40_armel.deb /media/<rootfs> # change <rootfs> with appropriate SD rootfs partition Boot up your Ubuntu , open a terminal and install  sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.35-23-omap_2.6.35-23.40_armel.deb Reboot your system, now the ethernet an wifi should work. '''Note:''' Some users have encountered that after kernel update still booting the old kernel, to solve this issue do:  mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n initramfs -d /media/<rootfs>/boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-23-omap /media/<bootfs>/uInitrd mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n 2.6.35-23-omap -d /media/<rootfs>/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-omap /media/<bootfs>/uImage =====How to get SGX Video Acceleration (under construction, not tested yet)=====src: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAP/Graphics First we'll install kernel headers  wget http://downloads.igep.es/ubuntu/maverick/linux-headers-2.6.35-23-omap_2.6.35-23.40_armel.deb sudo dpkg --install --force-depends linux-headers-2.6.35-23-omap_2.6.35-23.40_armel.deb Activate the universe and multiverse repositories, then install the following packages:  sudo apt-get install libegl1-sgx-omap3 libgles1-sgx-omap3 libgles2-sgx-omap3 Before using it just be sure your user is also included at 'video' group.  sudo adduser <your user> video Now you can test the SGX with a DEMO, grab and untar the SDK Demo Package  wget http://neuvoo.org/neuvoo/distfiles/SGX-3.01.00.07-SDK.tar.gz tar xzf SGX-3.01.00.07-SDK.tar.gz Then to run the demos just get into the X11 Binaries directory (e.g. OGLES/SDKPackage/Binaries/CommonX11/Demos/EvilSkull) and run the demo:  ./OGLESEvilSkull =====How to cross build ubuntu maverick kernel from sources=====Create a script for setting the environment

Clone the ubuntu maverick repository

Setup the environment and run ...

fakeroot debiardebian/rules clean

=== Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) === ==== Make a bootable MMC card on Linux ==== 

And use the mkimage tool to convert this file into a script image which can be executed using U-Boot's source command.

If you are not using IGEP's virtual machine, you can download and install the Poky SDK from http://www.igep.es/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=99&amp;Itemid=112&amp;dir=/var/www/vhosts/igep.es/httpdocs/downloads/01-ISEE_Products/IGEPv2/SW_Releases/poky/purple-3.2/v3.2.1-0/sdk once logged in. This will provide the /usr/local/poky directory. If you use this option, the appropriate source command is <tt>source /usr/local/poky/eabi-glibc/environment-setup-arm-none-linux-gnueabi</tt>.
