Goals

The goal is to replace the current Knoppix based outdated Live-CD with all Elphel relevant features pre-installed. This should be an image that can be booted from DVD, USB stick or as a virtual machine.

Features

  • Flash cameras with firmware images

Ideas

  • Pack camera firmware image into a Ubuntu package (*.deb) on launchpad to place files directly in /nfs, that way people can automatically auto-update to the latest version
  • camera discovery script should add desktop icons to open camera video stream in Mplayer/VLC/Gstreamer
  • (Done) Install VLC
  • remove µBlog on desktop
  • (Done) Use custom wallpaper that is already finished
  • (Done) Use new camera discovery icon that is already finished
  • (Done) Put link collection in firefox/konqueror bookmarks bar: Elphel Website, Elphel Wiki, Elphel Blog, Elphel Mailing List, etc.
  • Place desktop icon that links to the reflashing guide website
  • Instead of readme file on desktop use website link, that way we can keep the information current much more easily.
  • Make Elphel Wiki the homepage in all browsers
  • Implement all of the actions (discover,reflash,netboot,open stream) on a local webpage.--Oleg 18:23, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
  • In README.en on the desktop tell the user to grab the image from "http://sourceforge.net/projects/elphel/files/elphel353-8/" instead of "http://sourceforge.net/projects/elphel/files/" otherwise users will go into the 7.X tree as that is called "elphel353".
