This file describes how you would install Debian's
|
||||
'Network Installer' or netinstall on an SD Card. This
|
||||
SD card would then be used in the Beagleboard to install
|
||||
Debian Squeeze.
|
||||
|
||||
If you haven't yet downlaoded the git repo which holds the
|
||||
necessary software, you can do that this way;
|
||||
|
||||
$ git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall-omap.git
|
||||
|
||||
Then change to the directory you have just cloned;
|
||||
|
||||
$ cd netinstall-omap
|
||||
|
||||
The following command is an example of what you have to do to
|
||||
install the correct distro onto the SD card;
|
||||
|
||||
./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot <dev board> --distro <distro> --firmware
|
||||
|
||||
You'll need to customize this of course based on your particular needs.
|
||||
For example, your SD card might be on a different partition, you can use
|
||||
|
||||
$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/
|
||||
|
||||
to determine where exactly your SD card is located. Under Debian systems it
|
||||
can often be here;
|
||||
|
||||
/dev/sdb
|
||||
|
||||
In this case you'd run the mk_mmc.sh shell script with this location
|
||||
for the --mmc flag, like this;
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdb/
|
||||
|
||||
You'll need to also provide the correct argument to the --uboot and the
|
||||
--distro arguments. In my case, I did this;
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdb/ --uboot beagle --distro squeeze
|
||||
|
||||
You'll need to be root because the script is going to call fdisk which
|
||||
usually lives under /sbin/
|
||||
|
||||
Required Options:
|
||||
--mmc </dev/sdX>
|
||||
Unformated MMC Card
|
||||
|
||||
--uboot <dev board>
|
||||
beagle_bx - <Ax/Bx Models>
|
||||
beagle - <Cx, xM A/B/C>
|
||||
panda - <dvi or serial>
|
||||
touchbook - <serial only>
|
||||
|
||||
--distro <distro>
|
||||
Debian:
|
||||
squeeze <default>
|
||||
Ubuntu
|
||||
maverick
|
||||
natty
|
||||
|
||||
Optional:
|
||||
--firmware
|
||||
Add distro firmware
|
||||
|
||||
--serial-mode
|
||||
<dvi is default, this overides>
|
||||
|
||||
--usb-rootfs
|
||||
<root=/dev/sda1>
|
||||
|
||||
Debug:
|
||||
--earlyprintk
|
||||
<enables earlyprintk over serial>
