Hi, In looking at the release info for Vivid earlier this week, I first read about Snappy Core---it sounded rather cool--cool enough that I thought it be fun to try it on a Gumstix board :). I put together an OEM snap (unsigned...how does one go about signing it?) and a dd'able image for Gumstix Overo in case anyone else wants to give it a go.
For dd'ing (compressed 4GB image): $ wget http://gumstix-snappy.s3.amazonaws.com/overo.img.xz $ xz -d overo.img.xz $ sudo dd if=overo.img of=<your-drive-here> bs=4k For just the snap (much smaller download) $ wget http://gumstix-snappy.s3.amazonaws.com/overo.snap $ sudo ubuntu-device-flash core -o overo.img --oem=overo.snap --developer-mode 15.04 Then dd it!. The image has a custom MLO and u-boot but uses the default kernel explicitly assuming the 'omap3-overo-storm-tobi.dtb' (can be changed in uEnv.txt as needed). I see a long (say, 20 second pause) after the 'Starting Kernel...' line (I assume because the initrd takes a while to load) but then the boot continues properly. A quick $ ssh [email protected] # sudo snappy install xkcd-webserver later and I can happily browse xkcd comics by visiting http://overo.local on the local network. If you happen to have a Gumstix Overo and give this a whirl (or even if you don't :) ), I'd love any feedback or suggestions---I whipped this together with very little knowledge of Snappy core so I'm sure there is lots to improve. --Ash -- snappy-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snappy-devel
