SUPERJUMBO!! Installation guide for Beagleboard/Pandabord and Gumstix

Hello!

Super-Jumbo is sweet. New... But not a great deal of help is available..

So, I will do what I can.

My Beagle is: Rev C4
This (supposedly) should work on all Beagleboards (from original devboard Rev A to new RevB-XM).

Let's start!

Download the 2GB file: http://alwaysinnovating.com/beagleboard/

What's needed:

Super-Jumbo image [file]
SD Card 4GB minimum
SD Reader
Linux computer (or VM)
Beagleboard
Keyboard
Mouse (if you want to use the OS)

[All images taken using my N900! ]



On your Linux box..

Insert a RAW (unformatted) SD card.
Navigate to directory of super-jumbo*.tbz2

Code:


sudo -s
tar -Oxjpf ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.tbz2 | cat > /dev/sdb


If you don't know your SD location in /dev/ use: fdisk -l

Wait a while, maybe up to 30 minutes.

That's it.
Find your Beagleboard and insert the SD.
Hold User Button and wait for it to boot.
You will then see:

Followed by:

Then the fun!


WHOOOOO HOOOO!

Press USER Button ON Beagleboard (no keyboard/mouse input is registered).
If you press nothing, Droid will boot.



From here, select the OS you want:

Let's go through the OS's:

Droid:





Chromium OS (Didn't use it, I have no ethernet plugged in [required]):


Ubuntu:


AI-OS


AI-OS [chroot] OS selector:


Unfortunately my BB is not setup right, yet, and I could not boot Droid on top of AI-OS:




Enjoy. Keep it simple.
Use copy and paste on the code supplied! You only need the one line (and sudo). :eek:

GIT available: http://git.alwaysinnovating.com/

This will also work with Pandaboard. I am not 100% sure if I need to recomp the OS, but I plan on building a OMAP4 kernel and I will upload here
