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

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
EOF

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)

What exactly does this Software Kit include? Will this add the Live DVDs features to Ubuntu? --OneArtPlease 13:15, 22 October 2008 (CDT)

We will try to replace all features of the LiveDVD to Ubuntu, for now most of the Kit is developer oriented. To make it possible to recompile our firmware. --Alexandre.Poltorak 09:02, 24 October 2008 (CDT)

Nice to put bookmarks, configure xchat to #elphel on the Eee Box with preinstalled software

I believe it is better to prefix commands with sudo instead of "run script with root privileges' - it is more consistent with the other commands --Andrey.filippov 22:54, 1 January 2009 (CST)

Use gcc-4.2: I have been trying to install the axis-cris compiler on Ubuntu (virtualized under OS X). The instructions under 'Download and install Cris-GCC compiler', (using gcc-4.3 and changing gnu-toplev/gcc/collect2.c and gnu-toplev/libgloss/hp74x/checksum.c to add the third argument 0666 when O_CREATing files) failed with a buffer overflow at 'cris-axis-elf-ar rc ./libgcc.a'. The instructions further down at 'GCC-CRIS cross-compiler installation' (which swaps in the gcc-4.2 before compiling) apparently succeeds. DavidPalmer 17:17, 16 January 2009 (CST)
