Sugar on a Stick/Installation/OLPC

Do you have an OLPC XO-1?

There are three main options for OLPC XO users: (1) olpc-update; (2) Sugar on a Stick on an SD card; and (3) install Sugar on a Stick on the internal NAND.

(1) Update to the latest Sugar build

You orun olpc-update from the Terminal activity:

sudo olpc-update 767

where 767 is the latest stable release from OLPC (OLPC 8.2, Sugar 0.82)

Details regarding the 8.2.1 release will be available in late March or early April.

More details can be found here.

(2) Run Sugar on a Stick from an SD card or external USB

Details coming soon (Requires a developer key for your OLPC-XO-1)

(3) Install the Sugar on a Stick image

(Requires a developer key for your OLPC-XO-1 and access to a Fedora, Debian, or Ubuntu box.)

on a F10 system:

sudo yum -y install crcimage mtd-utils
wget http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/livecd-iso-to-xo.sh
wget Template:SoaSiso

run this command (or something similar depending on the version number of your .iso file)

sudo sh livecd-iso-to-xo.sh Soas-200903051021.iso Soas-200903051021.img

and then copy Soas-200903051021.img and Soas-200903051021.crc to a USB key or SD card

on the XO, boot with the usb stick plugged in and get into OFW, then type the following commands

ok disable-security
ok copy-nand u:\Soas-200903051021.img

then the XO will reboot and you should get into Sugar.
