Hi, welcome to Sabayon for the BeagleBoard xM.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First of all, you may want to install the image into a new SDHC card.
|
||
|
|
Make sure to have enough space for it, for example, if you downloaded
|
||
|
|
the 4GB version, make sure you're using a 4GB SDHC stick.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other requirements:
|
||
|
|
-------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- a Linux distro to copy the image to the SDHC
|
||
|
|
- a SDHC reader
|
||
|
|
- a root shell on the Linux distro
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to burn the image:
|
||
|
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Insert the SDHC memory into your reader (make sure that the LOCK
|
||
|
|
switch is turned off). After a few seconds, type:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# dmesg | tail -n 10
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the last kernel message lines you will be able to read the
|
||
|
|
actual device name, might be something like "sdc" or in general
|
||
|
|
"sdX" where X is just a letter.
|
||
|
|
Make sure to see the same device name inside /dev directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you got the name, just dump the image into that, in this
|
||
|
|
example, we assume that the device is /dev/sdc and the image
|
||
|
|
name is "Sabayon_Linux_8_armv7a_BeagleBoard_xM_4GB.img".
|
||
|
|
Do this as root!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# xzcat Sabayon_Linux_8_armv7a_BeagleBoard_xM_4GB.img > /dev/sdd
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once it is done, check for any error using:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# dmesg | tail -n 10
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And if it's all good, type:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# sync; sync; sync
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make sure everything has been flushed to the device.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
At this point, extract your SDHC and place it into the BeagleBoard xM.
|
||
|
|
You're set!

How to change keyboard mapping:
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our images come with "keyboard-setup", a shell too that lets you easily
|
||
|
|
do this, just type:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# keyboard-setup "<your keyboard layout code>" all
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then reboot!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How to change language:
|
||
|
|
-----------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Open /etc/locale.gen and add your locale (you can find a full list
|
||
|
|
at: /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED).
|
||
|
|
Make sure to add UTF-8 locales, this is what we support.
|
||
|
|
Once you've added your line, just type:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# language-setup "<your locale, without the .UTF-8 part>" system
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then reboot!
|
||
|
