== Ubuntu releases ==
=== Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) ===
First, download the compressed image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/
wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/maverick/release/ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap.img.gz
Next, uncompress the image with
gunzip ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap.img.gz
Then write the raw image to a blank SD card (the card size should be >2G)
sudo dd if=<uncompressed image> of=/dev/mmcblk0 # change /dev/mmcblk0 with appropriate device
Current boot file system (x-loader + u-boot + kernel) not works, so we need to replace. First download and extract this package
wget http://people.canonical.com/~mpoirier/linux-image-2.6.35-22-omap_2.6.35-22.34_armel_torez_2.deb
ar -x linux-image-2.6.35-22-omap_2.6.35-22.34_armel_torez_2.deb
tar jxf data.tar.bz2
sudo cp -fr boot lib usr /media/<rootfs> # change <bootfs> with appropriate SD rootfs partition
then, create an uImage file with
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n "Linux" -d boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-omap uImage
cp uImage /media/<bootfs> # change <bootfs> with appropriate SD boot partition
next, download and copy x-loader from
wget http://downloads.igep.es/binaries/x-loader/v1.4.3-0/x-load-1.4.3-0.igep0020-sdcard.bin.ift
cp x-load-1.4.3-0.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.igep.es/binaries/u-boot-arm/v2009.11-2/u-boot-arm-2009.11-2.igep0020.bin
cp u-boot-arm-2009.11-2.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 !
