~~= WORK IN PROGRESS =~~

How to get the Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS The Ubuntu project is excited to be working with the ARM ecosystem to port Ubuntu for ARM-based devices. This work fits with our goals of making Ubuntu available as an open platform to as many people as possible.

== Host Enviroment ==

We suggest use Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (32 bits) in your host, you can download it from our server using this [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/igepv5_ce/devel/iso/ubuntu-12.04.4-desktop-i386.iso link] or directly from Ubuntu (Canonical) website. You can install it in a Virtual Machine ~~enviroment~~ environment using any Virtualization software or directly in your PC.

=== Material ===

*HDMI/DVI Monitor (optional)

== Download the Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Distribution and tools~~ ~~ ==The Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (armel) distribution can be [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/isee-releases/ubuntu/ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-armel-armhf/ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-isee-igep00x0-20140606-armel.tar.bz2 downloaded from here] or if you want to use the [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/isee-releases/ubuntu/ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-armel-armhf/ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-isee-igep00x0-20140606-armhf.tar.bz2 hard float version you can use this].

The ~~Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS distribution can~~ first boot must be done using the [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/~~distros~~isee-releases/ubuntu/ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-~~isee-igep00x0~~armel-~~20140606-armel.tar.bz2 downloaded from here] or if you want to use the hard float version you should use this other link. ~~ ~~The first boot must be done using the [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/distros/ubuntu~~armhf/ubuntu-isee-igep00x0-first-boot-20140606.tar.bz2 first boot package], inside you've the bootloader, igep.ini and temporary kernel(its valid for armel and armhf).

You can download [http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/igepv5_ce/scripts/prepare-disk.sh this script] for create the right partitions in the microsd card (Only is valid for microsd card, it cannot be used for prepare the raw Nand flash)

== Prepare the ~~Enviroment~~Environment ==

=== Check if you've the packages bc and dosfstools ===

<pre>$ cd /media/boot

$ tar xvfj ubuntu-12.04.4-isee-~~igeo00x0~~igep00x0-first-boot.tar.bz2</pre> After ~~incompress~~ uncompress the content you should see inside the /media/boot these content:

<pre>$ zImage MLO igep.ini </pre>

The default configuration is set for boot IGEPv2 board if you wish boot the IGEP COM Module or IGEP COM Proton then you must edit the file igep.ini and set the variable:

Save the file

Now enter into the rootfs ~~partiton~~ partition (normally mounted on /media/rootfs) and uncompress the ubuntu 12.04.4 package on it as: <pre>$ sudo tar xvfj ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-isee-igep00x0-20140606-armel.tar.bz2 or if you use hard float:$ sudo tar xvfj ubuntu-12.04.04-lts-isee-igep00x0-20140606-armhf.tar.bz2 </pre>

After that sync and eject the microsd card.
