Hello!

Super-Jumbo is sweet. New... But not a great deal of help is available..

So, I will do what I can.

My Beagle is: Rev C4
This (supposedly) should work on all Beagleboards (from original devboard Rev A to new RevB-XM).

Let's start!

Download the 2GB file: http://alwaysinnovating.com/beagleboard/

What's needed:

Super-Jumbo image [file]
SD Card 4GB minimum
SD Reader
Linux computer (or VM)
Beagleboard
Keyboard
Mouse (if you want to use the OS)

[All images taken using my N900!

]

On your Linux box..

Insert a RAW (unformatted) SD card.
Navigate to directory of super-jumbo*.tbz2

Code:

sudo -s
tar -Oxjpf ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.tbz2 | cat > /dev/sdb

If you don't know your SD location in /dev/ use: fdisk -l

Wait a while, maybe up to 30 minutes.

That's it.
Find your Beagleboard and insert the SD.
Hold User Button and wait for it to boot.
You will then see:

Followed by:

Then the fun!

WHOOOOO HOOOO!

Press USER Button ON Beagleboard (no keyboard/mouse input is registered).
If you press nothing, Droid will boot.

From here, select the OS you want:

Let's go through the OS's:

Droid:

Chromium OS (Didn't use it, I have no ethernet plugged in [required]):

Ubuntu:

AI-OS

AI-OS [chroot] OS selector:

Unfortunately my BB is not setup right, yet, and I could not boot Droid on top of AI-OS:

Enjoy. Keep it simple.
Use copy and paste on the code supplied! You only need the one line (and sudo).

Now let's port this to N900!!

Great

But I'm proposing to go on for N900 in the old thread:

Yes, I agree. N900 in original thread. This was just made quickly so people can test this themselves without all the hassle that I had.

I downloaded this last Saturday and only got it running today (would have been yesterday if I bothered finding cables).

It is a GREAT idea and very well implemented. It's... BRILLIANT!

Need's a Meego and Maemo option to make it PERFECT
