Hi, as written in the 3.19.0-kernel announcement, we now support more and more different hardware devices by the kernel.
To simplify creating bootable SD cards for such a plethora of devices, there is also a new makesd script. No longer one for each device, doing dirty tricks, but a generic one that knows how to create single and multi- partiton images by pulling the components from http://downloads.goldelico.com It is easily controlled by command line arguments allowing to choose the version of a package to be installed, the device it should run on, how many partitions should be filled with what. It is possible to configure individually for each partition which x-loader and u-boot, which kernel, which device trees which modules and which root file system is to be installed. Some examples: DEV=/dev/sdc ./makesd -v latest-beta gta04 — production image (for unbricking, u-boot upgrade) for the GTA04 (Letux 2804) with Debian/LXDE using variant ‘latest-beta’ DEV=/dev/sdc ./makesd gta04b2 — same for GTA04b2 (Letux 3704) DEV=/dev/sdc ./makesd bb — image for the BeagleBoard (classic or XM) with Debian/LXDE DEV=/dev/sdc ./makesd bbb — image for the BeagleBone Black with Debian/LXDE DEV=/dev/sdc ./makesd pyra — same for OMAP5432EVM (Pyra prototype) DEV=/dev/sdc ./makesd replicant — latest (stable) replicant (universal image boots on L2804, L3704, L7004) DEV=/dev/sdc ./makesd -v unstable replicant — latest (unstable) replicant (boots on L2804, L3704, L7004) DEV=/dev/sdc ./makesd all — make a 4-system (Debian, QtMoko, Replicant, QuantumSTEP) multi-partition image where you can choose the system through the boot loader menu (boots on L2804, L3704, L7004) DEV=/dev/sdc ./makesd -v unstable pyra -F -v latest replicant — use unstable kernel and replace the Debian/LXDE in partition 2 with latest replicant (boots up to the root@android:/ # prompt) for the OMAP5432EVM DEV=/dev/sdc ./makesd -v unstable openpandora — the current working image for the OpenPandora (put into left slot and boot through boot menu) More information about installation and examples can be found at http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-makesd/ Please note that a new consistent “latest” release is due, but not yet tested, so some of the commands (without specifying -v unstable or -v latest-beta) may fail because they try to pull files that are not yet available in the “latest” as of today.. So I hope that we are doing something you appreciate and find useful and maybe would like to support either through [1] or by testing, reporting bugs and submitting patches. We really appreciate your feedback, since we don’t find every bug and flaw - and we always understand the bad and incomplete documentation [2] we have written… BR, Nikolaus [1]: http://shop.goldelico.com/wiki.php?page=GTA04%3ADonation [2]: http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-makesd/ _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
