WM8505 Debian - abrasive april 2010 Creating a bootable SD card: You need at least a 256MB card. 1. Format the card with partitions: 1. FAT (32MB will do) 2. EXT2 (rest of the card) 2. extract fatpart and extpart to the FAT and EXT2 partitions, resp. Card will boot to a text console, and won't touch any existing install (eg. WinCE). Handy notes: to reduce console spam on tty1, run dmesg -n 1 to enable wifi, modprobe rt3070sta to disable, rmmod rt3070sta (see also wi-on and wi-off scripts under 'useful') sound is untested in this release the kernel sets the system time from the RTC, but not vice versa; the driver interface is unknown configure the time with 'date' and use /sbin/wmt-rtc --sys2hw release includes apt-get, you should set up /etc/apt/sources.list for a local mirror you may wish to mkdir /var/log/apt wpa_supplicant is included also. mtd(block)7 is a small (~300mb) flash partition; mtd9 is the rest of flash (~1.7gb) X11 works fine; if you have a large enough card. apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xfonts-base xinit and your favourite wm. the package scripts get the X conf wrong, you need to add: Driver "fbdev" to the Device section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (a working xorg.conf is under 'useful')
