[beagleboard] Re: "Super-Jumbo" 2011-03.a (AIOS, Gingerbread, Maverick, ChromiumOS) for Beagleboard ready for you!

That's odd. I get 3.8G.

David.

What were the details (length, MD5SUM) of the .gz file? The one I downloaded
from Josh's torrent seems broken :frowning:

I downloaded the three parts from the links on the Always Innovating page.
The size is 2.0GB or 2199882463 bytes. MD5 is
3ab5edc44bb73f3417f67fa070857157
I mounted it on my desktop and everything seems to be there but I have not
tried it on my beagle yet.

Hello,

To close on the thread regarding the problem of download and SD card
installation, we have updated the page:
http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/beagleboard/

There is only one file to download, you need to extract the tbz2 and
burn the file to a SD card with dd. The extract is 3.83GB so it can
fit on a 4GB SD card.

Compressed file: ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.tbz2 (2.05GB)
md5sum=3ab5edc44bb73f3417f67fa070857157
After extraction: ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a (3.83GB)
md5sum=f6c1fa74f274fbe8f117e9a884a086e6

File can be downloaded here:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IZMZ89F5
http://beagle.s3.amazonaws.com/demos/ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.tbz2

If you get a kernel panic when booting, it means that the extraction
has not been properly done to the SD card. I hope that it's clear now.

Hi G2,

And thanks for this great achievement!

Is this how the creation of 4 GB SD card should run:

tar -xjpOf /home/sin/Downloads/ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.tbz2 | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0
dd: writing to `/dev/mmcblk0’: No space left on device
7774209+0 records in
7774208+0 records out
3980394496 bytes (4.0 GB) copied, 1887.48 s, 2.1 MB/s

Now, how do I make sure that everything went right and the SD card is OK?
How do I “zero” a 4 GB SD card that has something else on it already?

Best regards,
siñ

I don't know all of those tar arguments and though I could look them
up, I suggest most people just extract the ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a
file. You can then use dd or the Ubuntu Win32DiskImager to write the
4GB image.

Now, how do I make sure that everything went right and the SD card is OK?

You'll see valid partitions and it'll boot on your BeagleBoard-xM.

How do I "zero" a 4 GB SD card that has something else on it already?

Given that you overwrite the SD card contents, "zero"ing the SD card
is absolutely pointless.

Hello to everyone.

I have the beagle board rev C4 bought from Special Computing. Yesterday I’ve got the Super Jumbo image and I tried to boot it with my Beagle Board. I’ve encountered 2 big problems :

a) I have no touch screen panel,so that I can’t choose the operating system to boot. I’ve attached a mouse and a keyboard,but they didn’t work.
b) If I don’t make a choice,Android is chosen as default operating system. I’ve kept powered the beagle board for a long time,but Android seems to be gone in loop. The splash screen is always there,it’s unable to start.

I hope that someone can help me.

If you press the user button when the os screen pops up you can use keyboard to make os choice.

Hello,

I’ve tried to boot Android by pressing the USER button as soon as the os selection screen pops up. Android is freezed on the logo screen. After 3 hours of waiting,I’ve rebooted the beagle board. Something is broken ? I tried to boot Chromium and I’ve got the same result. Ubuntu maverick works,instead.

Hello,

I´ve tested it with my BeagleBoard XM, there were no issues.

The only think i miss is a bigger image for the storage. Every time I tried to debug a program within Android, it keeps saying there is no left space. So i must do it through ADB. Anyway, this is image is awesome. My buddies from the college are using it. :smiley:

SuperMario, I forgot to mention, but rev C4´s usb port does not have enough energy to power a keyboard. You must get a powered usb hub, then plug them.

I highly recommend you the rev XM.

That’s not right. The reason a keyboard won’t worked plugged directly into a pre-xM board is that the EHCI USB port only supports high-speed peripherals, not full-speed or low-speed peripherals like a keyboard. Putting a high-speed-capable hub in the middle will translate down to full-speed and low-speed, which is how the xM supports those types of devices directly.

Jason, I´ve tested it myself. A friend of mine was not able to get his keyboard to work with Ubuntu, i got my powered usb hub plugged and it worked :slight_smile: (BeagleBoard C4 not XM)

The REASON that worked has nothing to do with energy, unless you have a high-speed keyboard with an insane amount of current draw. I’m just trying to avoid misinformation on the list for something that is a FAQ.

Jason is right, same applies to b or c boards.

My keyboard and mouse work and I’m using a powered hub. My problem is that Android is not able to start,as chromium. Angstrom and Maverick work.
