Hi,
I reflashed my XO 1 today with the latest OS 852.img but on startup, it
shows the Invalid System Date message with :( smiley. Even before the
update, it used to show the message and the rest things are functioning
fine.
Invalid System Date
OLPC C2, 256 MiB memory installed S/N CSN74901B4F
How to rectfiy the problem?

Hi Andrea,
So finally I am finished with my tests and have resumed the work for the
activity.
Hi Harpreet,
I am glad to know you are working on the activity :)
Actually, I have two XO’s. One of them is refurbished XO 1.0 and the
other is the newer XO 1.5. I need to reflash the new XO 1.5 with the new
OS but have been facing some problem. I downloaded the latest OS206.zd
from http://build.laptop.org/10.1.1/. I put up both the files in the top
level of a USB stick. Although, the image was found by the laptop, I am
getting this message on startup. Below is the description of the
problem, if you could suggest something?
I have no experience with the XO 1.5, but:
as the error messages is related to block sizes, I would first check the
integrity of the image (using md5sum). If you have already done it and you
are still experiencing problems, I would try inserting the usb stick when
the machine is off and then booting it while pressing the four game
controller keys on the right of the screen all together. This worked and
allowed to bypass some problems on the XO 1.
The second XO will allow me to create a mesh network between the two XO’s.
Nice. You can also use SOAS on the devices in order to get exactly the same
environment. You don't actually need to use a mesh network: the XOs
automatically talk to each other when they are connected to the same
access point. This structure:
XO -- AP -- XO
is the same as
XO -mesh- XO
and requires less efforts, both from you and from the cpus.
I was collecting some material (Common objects, Holiday, Class,
Workplace etc.) yesterday for the activity’s interface and have been
playing around with the XO's to get familiar with their functioning. In
due course, the work would be concluded.
Great. But let me know: have you contacted the uruguayan developers? I know
they have a demo written in python. I know you prefer working with C#, but
you should better ask them if there is something you can do to integrate
their job, instead of replicating it.
And, how's it going in Greece?
I am going home today. Actually, I am writing this email from Athen's
airport. The conference was not so good, the major advantage in coming here
was the weight of the publications they produce. But I was assigned to a
session where my work was totally unrelated to the other presented papers. I
still enjoyed my stay in Corfu, which is a terrific place to go on holiday.
Ciao!
Andrea
