Embdemid GNU/Linux
"embdemid GNU/Linux" is an embedded-linux project based on
emdebian for mobile internet devices like Compal JAX 10,Aigo P8860,Aigo
P8888."embdemid linux" can be installed on usb flash memories.It's an
embedded distro which can perfectly work wired and wireless internet on
Compal and Aigo MIDs.My tryings are still continue to run bluetooth
function.If you have got a MID too, i strongly recommend you to try this
distro."embdemid linux" was configured for MID but with a couple of
changes you can also work it on all x86 platforms.You can download
"embdemid linux" from "http://sourceforge.net/projects/embdemid/"
Installing Embdemid Linux on USB Flash Memory:
1-Firstly download the
file named "embdemid-0.0.1.tar.bz2(56 MB)" from the internet address
above.Then extract it;
$ tar xjvf
embdemid-0.0.1.tar.bz2
2-Prepare our USB Flash
memory for downloading.(it should at least 180 MB space)
# su
# fdisk -l
# umount /dev/sda1 (if
usb flash disc mounted the system)
I'm using the "/dev/sda" device as a sample.It can be different
in your system.
# fdisk /dev/sda
> d (with this command
erase the previous partitions.if there is more than one partition erase
them all with " d ")
>p (with this command,
be sure that all partitions in flash disc are erased)
> n , p , 1 , enter ,
enter (make these commands step by step.don't forget we are in
fdisc programme!)
> p (be sure that our
partition is emerged)
>w
3-If you applied the
steps above, partition which is in your flash disc need to be ready and
we can format this partition with ext2.
# mkfs.ext2
/dev/sda1
# tune2fs -i 0
/dev/sda1
4-Mount our USB Flash
disc to the system.
# mkdir /mnt/flash
# mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1
/mnt/flash
5-Copy the downloaded
"embdemid-0.0.1? contents on flash disc.
# cp -r
/your-path/embdemid-0.0.1/* /mnt/flash
6-Finally, we load a
group on flash disc.
# echo '(hd0) /dev/sda' >
/mnt/flash/boot/grub/device.map
# grub-install
-root-directory=/mnt/flash /dev/sda
Note:There are two
default users:
1-root
password:embedded
2-linux
password:123456
All steps are done, your system is ready, mount the flash disc
to MID and test it.Have fun:)
