*About
 +
 
 +
Considering the existing/old Knoppoix-based Live CD is outdated in terms of its software packages and it's currently left out with no periodic maintenance, we're planning to build a new SDK environment for the users/developers.
 +
 
 +
* Architecture
 +
          o x86 compatible, 32bit (i386) & 64bit (amd64)
 +
          o Can be fit into USB key(4GB) and DVD(4.7GB)
 +
          o Ubuntu 9.10 based for first prototype, release in Feb. 2010. Collect bug report/feedback to make improvement and target to have the first official release （Ubuntu 10.4 based ) in June 2010.
 +
          o Default desktop environment: KDE (so Kubuntu actually)
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* Main Feature
 +
          o USB key can be self-bootable
 +
          o USB key can be used both as live system and installation media (same as Ubuntu Desktop DVD)
 +
          o The live system should be able to drive and demo the Elphel camera.
 +
          o Can be used as a normal Ubuntu system
 +
          o Default installation of following packages: (TBD, refer to http://wiki.elphel.com/index.php?title=Elphel_Software_Kit_for_Ubuntu)

 +
          o Above packages must be included in the USB key image
 +
          o Create meta-package such as apt-get install elphel-dev ?
 +
          o For packages cannot be included in the installation media due to the legal restriction, create meta package / installation script? (put on the desktop)
 +
          o Elphel document link(such as user manual) on desktop (both in installation media live system and installed system)
 +
          o Provide a debian/ubuntu style repository for users so apt-get install can be an feasible option for people who have regular Ubuntu system

 +
          o Desktop icons for starting mplayer & gstreamer live stream from camera
 +
 
 +
 +
* Release & Update
 +
          o Release in a six months cycle in accordance with Ubuntu release cycle, focus on LTS version
 +
          o Wiki page to include key information (installation, important notice etc)
 +
          o Include both USB key in camera package.
 +
          o ISO image downloadable from Elphel website, user may choose to burn into DVD or USB key.
 +
 
 +

 +
          o Elphel label sticker on USB key.

I also us cervisia, kompare--Andrey.filippov 14:33, 26 May 2007 (CDT)

to install update to Xilinx WebPACk (requires Internet connection even if the archive is already downloaded) you need first start vanilla 9.1i and edit->preferences->HTML browser: change "mozilla" to "firefox" or just 

ln -sf /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/mozilla

--Andrey.filippov 15:55, 26 May 2007 (CDT)


I decided to temporary do a ugly hack to solve the NFS flashing problem. I'll move /nfs/elphel353-2.10 to /cdrom/elphel353-2.10, it's not usable after install but at least will work for LiveDVD.

/etc/resolv.conf is empty and eth0&eth1 are configured as bridge with 192.168.0.15 statically. 

echo "" > /etc/resolv.conf

apt-get install bridge-utils

cp /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/bridge  /etc/network/if-down.d/

cat > /etc/network/interfaces << EOF
iface br0 inet static
        bridge-ifaces eth0 eth1
        address 192.168.0.15
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.0.1

I also upgraded GenRes with files Spectr send me.

"/cdrom/elphel353-2.10" - will it work with firmware upgrades like Elphel Live DVD does or just with the burnt in image?--Andrey.filippov 08:57, 23 November 2007 (CST)

ElphelSoftwareKit#How_building_latest_version_software_for_LiveCD.28i.e_FireFox.29 is about Knoppix based DVD, this page is about Ubuntu based DVD. We will need to move it. --Polto 12:17, 23 Nov 2007 (GMT)

         o Can be fit into USB key(4GB) and DVD(4.7GB) 
         o Ubuntu 9.10 based for first prototype, release in Feb. 2010. Collect bug report/feedback to make improvement and target to have the first official release （Ubuntu 10.4 based ) in June 2010.
