debian-wheezy-2

initial release

debian-wheezy-3

Added curl package, updated to kernel 3.0.57

debian-wheezy-devel-4

This is setup for native compiling. linux-3.0.57 is ready to build in /usr/src/linux.

Added prerequsites for building the kernel

Added sudo

Built and installed the kernel per this tutorial: Kernel compiling

odroidu2-20130205-debian-wheezy-devel

This is setup for native compiling.

A private kernel build is installed: linux-3.0.61

The kernel source is removed from /usr/src/ in the interest of a smaller image

Fixed locale setup. Added all locales.

Set the timezone to GMT+8 (USA Pacific)

Added ntpupdate package to update time from network

The MAC ID is chosen randomly on first boot, but stored persistently in /etc/smsc95xx_mac_addr. For example the expected file contents would be like: A6:2A:DC:0B:56:74. You can edit the file to set the MAC ID if you need a specific one.

Issues

On first boot, the mac id file is not created, the root file system has not been mounted read/write at that time. Make up your own random mac id and do something like this:

echo A6:2A:DC:0B:56:74 > /etc/smsc95xx_mac_addr

You will see a message like: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.0.61/modules.dep: No such file or directory. This is not actually fatal, it is coming from the initrd -- which does not have a set of kernel modules matching the kernel, 3.0.61.

debian-wheezy-*-6

base

Details on how the base was built are here: debian-wheezy-base-6 Build Notes

• Kernel bumped to 3.0.68, a private build from Hardkernel sources using odroidu2_ubuntu_defconfig
• The base packages provided by debootstrap are included. These are somewhat different than the previous cdebootstrap minimal flavor.
• Persistent MACID generated. You will want to use your own random MACID (file is /etc/smsc95xx_mac_addr)
• fstab updated to mount boot partition
• timezone was set to USA pacific. You will want to re-run: dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
• root is allowed to log in on the serial console (USB-UART kit)
• boot scripts modified to load by device name instead of UUID

base 6.1

This is provided as a root file system image only, not as an SD-Card image

• Installed openssh-server

gnome 6.1

Details on how the gnome image was build is here: debian-wheezy-gnome-6 Build Notes

• Started with debian-wheezy-base-6.1
• Installed gnome
• Created xorg.conf
• Started gdm3

xfce 6.1

Details on how the xfce image was build is here: debian-wheezy-xfce-6 Build Notes

• Started with debian-wheezy-base-6.1
• Installed xfce4, xfce4-goodies, xdm and iceweasel
• Created xorg.conf

debian-wheezy-armel-*-6

Notice this is armel -- not the usual armhf

• Kernel is Hardkernel 3.0.68, a private build from Hardkernel sources using odroidu2_ubuntu_mali_defconfig

armel-base-6.1

• Started with an soft-float image created with cdebootstrap and a sheevaplug -- don't have detailed notes
• Brought it up-to-date with the hardfloat image contents

armel-xfce-6.1

• Started with debian-wheezy-armel-base-6.1
• Installed xfce4, xdm and iceweasel (xfce-goodies not in armel repository)
• Created xorg.conf

In order to login as user, you need to update Xwrapper.conf so allowed_users=anybody. You can paste this in a terminal as root:

cat >/etc/X11/Xwrapper.config <<EOF
# Xwrapper.config (Debian X Window System server wrapper configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by the post-installation script of the x11-common
# package using values from the debconf database.
#
# See the Xwrapper.config(5) manual page for more information.
#
# This file is automatically updated on upgrades of the x11-common package
# *only* if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of that package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command as root:
#   dpkg-reconfigure x11-common
allowed_users=anybody
