Introduction

PLEASE NOTE: This page is currently under construction!

The following page describes how to create a bootable Meego image for the OMAP4 based Pandaboard. More information on this board can be found at pandaboard.org

Currently, running Meego on the Panda requires that the u-boot and Linux kernel are built by hand. We are working to get these packages into the OBS, and will keep this page updated.

Additionally, the image creation steps are also manual, owing to the very particular CHS requirements of the OMAP4 boards (255 heads/63 sectors). This issue is being discussed within the #meego-arm community.

Prerequisites

MIC2

Reference http://wiki.meego.com/Image_Creation to set up MIC2

Environment Variables

export PANDASOURCE=${HOME}/panda.source
export PANDAFS=${HOME}/meego-panda-rootfs
mkdir -p ${PANDASOURCE}

Get Files

• File:Panda-demo.ks.in
• File:Panda-demo.sh

cd ${PANDASOURCE}
wget -c http://wiki.meego.com/images/Panda-demo.ks.in
wget -c http://wiki.meego.com/images/Panda-demo.sh

Build

MeeGo rootfs

Proxy Settings

If you need to add proxy settings, you can place them in ${HOME}/.mic2.conf like this:

[main]
proxy=http://PROXY_SERVER:PORT

Build the rootfs

cd ${PANDASOURCE}
chmod +x Panda-demo.sh
./Panda-demo.sh

Make Bootable SD Card

Format SD

Reference http://www.omappedia.org/wiki/SD_Configuration to format SD card.

Script: File:Omap3-mkcard.sh. you could use this with the above instructions to format a card for making it ready for copy

Insert formated bootable SD card, /media/boot & /media/rootfs should be mounted automatically, assuming you are logged in graphically.

Install binaries to SD

cp ${PANDAFS}/boot/MLO /media/boot
cp ${PANDAFS}/boot/u-boot.bin /media/boot
cp ${PANDAFS}/boot/boot.scr /media/boot
cp ${PANDAFS}/boot/uImage /media/boot
sudo cp -rfp ${PANDAFS}/* /media/rootfs
