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 run 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 Fedora10 system:
sudo yum -y install crcimage mtd-utils
On Debian or Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install mtd-utils
- crcimg is not packaged for Debian (that I am aware of), so you'll have to build it:
wget http://dev.laptop.org/~mstone/releases/SOURCES/crcimg-1.1.tar.bz2 tar xvf crcimg-1.1.tar.bz2 sudo make -f Makefile.build install
Next:
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.
