(work in progress)

Introduction

(todo)

Features

  • Enna media center
  • OpenGL|ES acceleration
  • DSP-accelerated media playback with GStreamer (work in progress)
  • ...

How to build

TARGET_ARCH=arm
TARGET_CPU=cortex-a8
SERVICES=yes
XORG_DRIVERS="omapfb"
PULSEAUDIO=no
GSTREAMER=yes

  • run make flat to build the distribution

Prepare your MicroSD the following way (and order):

  • one FAT32 (type 0B) partition, any size, I took 8MB
  • one EXT2 partition
  • Copy /boot/* (uImage and boot.ini script) to FAT32 partition
  • Copy all other files/dirs to EXT2 partition.

IGEPv2 detects the boot.ini script which contains all the necessary instructions for the OS to auto-boot.
