About Linaro
Overview of How-To
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.
Feedback and Contributing
Creating articles in the wiki is a collaborative process, at any point, if you see a mistake you can contribute to this article.
Please, use the discussion tab for user comments. This is useful to separate page content and the discussion thereof and also, if you don't want to give normal users the right to edit the page but still want user contributed notes.
Editing permissions are restricted to registered users. Register in the main IGEP site and you will have single sign-on.
Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
References
Much of this How-To is extracted from different sources. If you would like to read some of the original articles or resources, please visit them and thank the authors:
- The Linaro website ( http://www.linaro.org )
Linaro releases
At the end of each cycle linaro do an integrated build of software with this variants:
- Headless (no graphical UI)
- Netbook (Netbook style UI)
- ARM Linux Internet Platform (ALIP)
- Handset (A KDE/Plasma based user interface)
You can download the linaro rootfs releases from here:
Or directly from the linaro website.
Install Linaro 12.04 nano distribution
Download the linaro package tarball
wget http://downloads.isee.biz/pub/distros/linaro/linaro-nano-12.04-0.tar.gz
Once the file is downloaded you can create bootable SD-Card, under Linux, untar the package
tar xzf linaro-nano-12.04-0.tar.gz cd linaro-nano-12.04-0
Insert a SD-Card media and use the igep-media-create script to create a bootable SD-Card.
./igep-media-create -–mmc <mmc> --image <image file> --machine <machine>
where:
<mmc> - is the SD-Card device of your computer. <image file> - is the file that contains bootloader, kernel and rootfs image. <machine> - is the IGEP Processor Board. Available options are:
- igep0020 - For IGEP v2 Processor Board
- igep0030 - For IGEP COM MODULE Processor Board
- igep0032 - For IGEP COM PROTON Processor Board
For example, assuming the SD-card device takes '/dev/sdf' and you have an IGEPv2 board ('igep0020'), type
./igep-media-create --mmc /dev/sdf --machine igep0020 --image linaro-nano-12.04-0.tar.bz2
For example, assuming the SD-card device takes '/dev/sdb' and you have an IGEP COM MODULE ('igep0030'), type
./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 nano image.
Install Other Linaro Distributions
Please follow the next howto.
