I think the ROACH used to ship with SD card file systems, so you're
probably booting off one of those. It was never necessary to set up NFS
unless you wanted them to boot from a remote file system. The main
advantage of this is it makes it much easier to manage systems with many
ROACH board.

The most straightforward way is probably to just copy the SD card image
from one of your working ROACH boards, or from the svn links you found.

 Hi Rolando,

 That guide should still be up to date and working.

Re: [casper] Roach1!

2016-04-09 Thread Rolando Paz 
Hi Jack

Today I had the opportunity to starting 3 ROACHs1, thanks to Dr. Stan from
IRYA.

Some doubts:

a) When we starting two of the three Roachs1, we used minicom to
communicate with them. Two of the roachs goes directly to "roach_login"
where we put "root" and then we enter into an operating system.

Does this means that the most recent versions of the Roach1, is no longer
necessary to make this guide
https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/ROACH_NFS_guide?

b) The third roach has password, and could not find it is. How we can
change the user and password?

Best Regards

Hi Rolando,


I don't actually know what the right answer is, but if it were me I'd go
for one of --

filesystem_etch_2010-03-24_sd_shipping.tar.gz

filesystem_etch_nfs.tar.gz


and whichever kernel looks newest --
uImage-20110812-mmcomitfix

?

Good luck,

Jack

 Hi Rolando, CASPER,

 The ROACH should still be supported by all the CASPER tutorials which
 are on the wiki -- https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/Tutorials
