If you have an APF27, then it's possible to install and run the Ubuntu distribution (XUbuntu ARM version).
This page will detail the installation process.
Requirements
- an APF27 with at least 128MBytes of RAM
- a SD/MMC card of at least 2GBytes
- coffee or at least something to do meanwhile ;-)
Here we go
- if not already done, install QEMU (this will also install some other needed packages like debootsrap):
$ sudo apt-get install qemu
- then get the "Ubuntu builder script" and launch it:
$ cd your_armadeus_view $ mkdir ubuntu && cd ubuntu/ $ wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogra/arm/build-arm-rootfs $ chmod a+x build-arm-rootfs $ sudo ./build-arm-rootfs --fqdn ubuntu --login ubuntu --password temppwd --imagesize 2G --seed xubuntu-desktop
- after some minutes/hours you will get a complete rootfs: armel-rootfs-XXXXXX.tgz
Prepare your microSD
- Format it and mount it:
$ sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p1 $ sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/disk/
- Untar it the generated rootfs:
$ sudo tar zxf armel-rootfs-xxxxxxx.tgz -C /media/disk/ $ sudo umount /media/disk/
Boot you system
- Plug the microSD in your APF27Dev and powerup your system.
- in U-Boot type:
BIOS> run mmcboot
