easy way to install amahi on the guruplug
Re: easy way to install amahi on the guruplug
hi,
what is not working? do you have a stock guruplug or did you upddate the uboot?
I run amahi from a usb key and it was "fairly" easy to do. I thought the wiki had been updated to relect what is needed.
where do you block?

Re: easy way to install amahi on the guruplug
so, basically i need ''create-amahi-f12-plug-disk.sh'', edit it to the correct usb drive
that script writes the amahi image to the usb disk
then edit the uboot on the plug:
setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv x_bootargs_root 'root=/dev/sdc1 rootdelay=10'
setenv x_bootcmd_kernel 'ext2load usb 1:1 0x6400000 /boot/uImage'
saveenv
and then it should run?
i don't have a linux pc here, what can i do?

Re: easy way to install amahi on the guruplug
basically yes but you need to have an ubout that support booting from usb
I believe that the ubout that comes with the plug does not!

Re: easy way to install amahi on the guruplug
why should amahi run from a usb stick? Can't i use a microsd?
Re: easy way to install amahi on the guruplug
yes you can boot it from a SD card as well except I can't make it work successfully but I am not exactly an expert either
I got it to boot from USB with obinou's help.
The latest uboot from (flipflip from Nov 2010) is capable of booting from SD card.
I might try to install Amahi on an SD card card actually. I was trying to install debian on one but have failed so far. May be Amahi will be easier

Re: easy way to install amahi on the guruplug
Youhou!
I manage to boot from the micro SD card and in the process understood a bit more how uboot works
I am sure this is something obinou explained me but I forgot about it...
I am going to update the wiki to document my finding

Re: easy way to install amahi on the guruplug
yes that is it
In short
Download the file "guruplug-u-boot-flipflip-20101111.tar.gz" in the download section and extract somewhere
You need also to install a tftp server and the rarpd daemon on the machine connected to your plug. Create a file called /etc/ethers and copy the mac
address of your plug in it with the IP address you want to give to your plug (it has to be in the same network as your PC interface). for example
then copy the file "u-boot.kwb" in /tftpboot and run
if that worked burn it to the nand
cross your finger and reset the plug
if you interrupt the reset to go in the uboot prompt and type version you should now see that you have the "flipflip" latest uboot
