This page describes how one installs the MeeGo IVI image on a Beagleboard C4
mic2 is a the tool for creating "images" which are essentially snapshots of the entire file system. Using mic2 you download a binary built for your target architecture which you specify in a kickstart file. Here is is the command I used to create an image for the Beagleboard;
sudo mic-image-creator --run-mode=0 --cache=x-cache --format=loop --arch=armv7l --release=daily --compress-disk-image=none --config=ivi-armv7l-beagle.ks
You can change these parameters if you want a different type of image, read the instructions for mic2 for more information.
Texas Instruments (TI) provides drivers for 3D graphics acceleration. TI supplies these drivers under the Creative Commons Public License. These drivers are not supplied as a package that you can easily integrate, instead you'll have to run a program to download these drivers if you want them included in your root file system. To ingrate the drivers you can use this script designed to be run on an X86 platform. More information is here.
Once you've installed the SGX drivers, you can move to building your root file system. The root file system lies on the second partition and contains all the executables aside from the kernel.
(Obviously I'll expand this page with information - just wanted to get a first draft up and running.)
