Installation

for dummies:
The stock bootloader uses a old machine id that does not match upstream registry. So new users have to reflash a newer bootloader. Also, make sure what size of panel you are using ! You probably need to edit install.conf file.
  • Prepare the SD card as described above. Then unzip the release image devkit8k-eclair-0x4.zip onto the VFAT partition.
  • 	$ cd /media/sdb1
    	$ unzip ~/devkit8k-eclair-0x4.zip
    
  • Download the new bootloader to the same partition.
  • Edit install.conf, uncomment the U_BOOT_IMAGE line.
  • Edit install.conf, choose the correct size of panel. (7 inch or 4.3 inch)
  • Plug the SD card in Devkit8000 SD slot and restart it.
  • Enter the u-boot prompt, use the following command the chainload the new bootloader.
    	$ mmcinit
    	$ fatload mmc 0 80300000 flash-uboot.bin
    	$ go 80300000
    
  • Then use the new bootloader to load installer
    	$ boot
    
  • Wait until all the leds turned on, then the installation is finished.
  • Remove the SD card and reboot.
  • NOTE: These steps only have to do once. After the bootloader is updated, the subsequence re-install will be as simple as beagleboard.
