"Super-Jumbo" 2011-03.a (AIOS, Gingerbread, Maverick, ChromiumOS) for Beagleboard ready for you!
G2
Beagleboard family (also compatible with Touch Book & Smart Book).
http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/beagleboard/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yseT4USH8SY
What is Super-Jumbo? Super-Jumbo is a single image which provides four
operating systems fully optimized for the OMAP3 chip:
- AIOS (complete full-featured Angstrom fork)
- Android Gingerbread v2.3
- Ubuntu Maverick 10.10
- ChromiumOS (first time ever released for OMAP3)
Our single kernel is compatible across the whole Beagleboard and Touch
Book families.
Your Beagleboard won't have to chose any more between cheese *OR*
desert. Your Beagleboard is getting cheese *AND* desert from now on!
On a single 2GB file - which expands to 3.8GB so you imperatively need
a SD card of 4GB minimum, Super-Jumbo aggregates hundreds of
applications already set up for you across the four major ARM
operating
systems. You are getting no less than 18 apps to access the web! The
list of what you can do is practically endless:
Firefox, Fennec, Chromium browser, Open Office, mplayer, ompafbplay,
totem, full gnome desktop (all of these on both OE and Ubuntu), java
1.6, DSP bridge with gst-dsp, DSP link, clutter latest, xbmc, full
Gingerbread plus a
set of already installed apps, full ChromiumOS, and many other things.
On top of those bits, Super-Jumbo has the unique feature to run those
multiple operating systems at the same time, without any reboot,
natively, and without any performance loss. Watch the youtube demo
video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yseT4USH8SY. Come and see at the
Embedded Linux conference in San Francisco on April 13, 2011 to get
the internals and tricks of our architecture to achieve this feature:
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/embedded-linux-conference/gentil
Super-Jumbo is a two-year effort by the Always Innovating team. But
this achievement has been made possible only because of the work
accomplished by the whole open source community. We cannot practically
list all the persons here, but people with significant contributions
to those bits will recognize themselves.
So go and download Super-Jumbo at http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/beagleboard/

Awesome!
Great effort.Specially the customised single kernel for whole 4 OS.
Will try it soon and get back to you with my feedbacks

recently got a lot of traction by licensing our designs. And indeed
our own small low-margin production was suddenly a little bit less our
focus. We are already giving a lot to the open source community, so we
wanted not to miss an interesting for-benefit business opportunity -
like everybody, we still need to eat everyday! We will make efforts to
resume our open-source-oriented production as soon as resources
permit.

I know things like "have to eat every day" because I'm self-employed. If you need money to support your development phase then you need to sell devices even at small batches, though they can be a little buggy. In Russia we have a proverb "The Best is an enemy for the Good", which means that you can spend too much time creating perfect things while good results are also good and acceptable. If you sell your devices with further software updates then a lot of people will be happy! Don't be afraid to sell semi-finished products.
the longer you delay products supply the more interest people get for Nvidia Tegra based Tablets..

I really like what you have done here. It is the most responsive Android I've had on my bb. There are some things that need attention though.
For starters, I put a second image on an 8 gb card. It didn't seem to have more free space. Is there a different process for larger mmc?
Can chrome be setup to use lan instead of wifi?
Thanks! !

I did a quick write-up on resizing images:

Perhaps I should convert it to a blog post and remove steps that need

If ever there was a legit application for torrents, this would be it.

I don't mind paying for the bandwidth to send this file around to
everyone, if I can get a copy. Of course, I'd like to know I wasn't
shipping around a GPL violation. Currently, I have about 180MB of the
2GB downloaded and Firefox is telling me it will still take another 20
hours. I would have loved to use 'wget -c', but free.fr seems to like
to use cookies.
Anyway, once I can get it, my plan is to put it on S3 and to share a
torrent tracker as well, but I'd like to know from Gregoire that this
is OK.

My first attempt (Option 3, splitted archive) at Saturday failed, too.
The file sizes looks right (MD5-checksum?), but
sudo -s
cat ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.tbz2.part* | tar -xjpvf - > /dev/sdb
fails and the content of the second partition is damaged. (i.e.
no .images folder)
Has anybody successfully try Option 1 or 3?

I wonder if that counts as "distributing" under the GPL. If so, I hope you have those "secret" kernel patches for the touchbook that aren't public.

That's not true, till very recently you had a lot of these:
file://../../../../private/touchscreen-chacha.patch;patch=1 \
The 2.6.32 patchset seems to be public now, so that is good, but it wasn't in the past. I didn't check the other recipes that were using those 'private' patches.
adwelly
boots Android at the moment because although it recognises my USB
mouse, it doesn't want to talk to my USB keyboard (which I stole from
a Mac).
Hmm. Angry Birds on an xM.
The commands I used on my ubuntu host were:
sudo -s
cat ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.tbz2.part* | tar -xjpvf - > /dev/sdb
around in the directory (is there really a space between - and > ?) so
I then went:
dd if=superjumbo-2011-03.a of=/dev/sdb bs=1M
this planted a three partition filesystem directly onto the micro-sd
card. Which in the absence of a keyboard will bot android gingerbread.
I'll have another kbd available tomorrow and will look at the others
then.

There are many "much bigger" companies pigging back on open source and
which doesn't give back anything.
Anyway, to answer specifically your point, this touchscreen patch has
been committed for weeks now:
http://git.alwaysinnovating.com/cgit.cgi/ai.openembedded.dev/log/recipes/linux/linux-omap-psp-2.6.32/omap3-touchbook/touchscreen-chacha.patch
and there is nothing private here:
http://git.alwaysinnovating.com/cgit.cgi/ai.openembedded.dev/tree/recipes/linux/linux-omap-psp_2.6.32.bb
@Jason, yes, there is nothing private in the kernel. I'm 100% sure!
@adwelly, if you have booted Android, I think that you have a proper
SD image. Otherwise, it would not boot.
@adwelly, this version of Angrybird is free on Android, though it's
not on iOS.
@adwelly, for the USB keyboard, we don't have CONFIG_HID_APPLE set in
the kernel. Try to get a standard keyboard.

Great. I have a mirror setup at http://beagle.s3.amazonaws.com/demos/ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.gz.torrent. Remove the .torrent to download directly, but I hope others can share bandwidth as well.
Gregoire, realize that the kernel is likely not the only GPL component in the system. You likely need to setup a source mirror for the packages downloaded by OE in your Angstrom fork. I suspect some of the other packages utilized may also be GPL licensed. Please let me know how I can be of assistance as I find this to be of great benefit to the community. It would be nice to see this operating system switch feature supported in the Angstrom and Rowboat repositories at least, if not also the Ubuntu releases (perhaps no patches are needed there?).
@adwelly, if you have booted Android, I think that you have a proper

I downloaded this, but it fails to unpack:
zcat /tmp/demos_ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.gz >/tmp/demos_ai-superjumbo-2011-03.all

@Grégoire I used the instructions on the Wiki page and it created the

so I am assuming something in the second partition didn't go as

works but it hangs there. Any suggestions on what might be the culprit?

you can manually copy the content of the second partition this way :
mount -o loop,offset=764951040 ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a /mnt/
fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
-> create the 2nd partition with the right size for your SDCard
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2
mount -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt2
cd /mnt
rsync -avz . /mnt2/
umount /mnt2

working by downloading the split part files (single file from torrent
comes up with errors when expanding). Using the cat command and then
dd, it worked just fine with the 8Gb microSD card. Double pressing the
user button though doesn't come with an OS switcher screen, but rather
a blank screen. Android performance seems a bit sluggish on the menu
system,
With regards to Android marketplace, I keep getting force closure
errors. Is this normal?

I was fascinated to see Angry Birds, but in fact my primary interest
is video.
I brought in a very vanilla USB keyboard on day 2, booted into AI, and
was delighted to see standard
def video with a good frame rate running out of the box, so to speak.
I've found AI to be
lightweight, responsive, and pretty much ideal for the early part of
the project I'm currently working on.
I have had one problem which is that I would like to change screen
resolution, but creating a
new boot.scr requires me to get mkimage-x86 on my Ubuntu host. Can
anyone give me a clue on how
best to get hold of this ? The command apt-get install uboot-mkimage
installs a mkimage executable
that appears to accept the appropriate parameters but the resulting
boot.scr simply hangs.

To close on the thread regarding the problem of download and SD card
installation, we have updated the page:
http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/beagleboard/
There is only one file to download, you need to extract the tbz2 and
burn the file to a SD card with dd. The extract is 3.83GB so it can
fit on a 4GB SD card.
Compressed file: ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.tbz2 (2.05GB)
md5sum=3ab5edc44bb73f3417f67fa070857157
After extraction: ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a (3.83GB)
md5sum=f6c1fa74f274fbe8f117e9a884a086e6
File can be downloaded here:
http://dl.free.fr/k9dI2plRG
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IZMZ89F5
http://beagle.s3.amazonaws.com/demos/ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.tbz2
If you get a kernel panic when booting, it means that the extraction
has not been properly done to the SD card. I hope that it's clear now.

I could not get the suggested script to work.
Also the memory figures seem odd, "0 80200000" seems not right.
mkimage did work but not the result. The BB does not boot.
There are so many options and versions on the beagleboard.
It's hard to choose the right thing.

And thanks for this great achievement!
Is this how the creation of 4 GB SD card should run:
tar -xjpOf /home/sin/Downloads/ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.tbz2 | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0
dd: writing to `/dev/mmcblk0': No space left on device
7774209+0 records in
7774208+0 records out
3980394496 bytes (4.0 GB) copied, 1887.48 s, 2.1 MB/s
Now, how do I make sure that everything went right and the SD card is OK?
How do I "zero" a 4 GB SD card that has something else on it already?
Best regards,
siñ

I don't know all of those tar arguments and though I could look them
up, I suggest most people just extract the ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a
file. You can then use dd or the Ubuntu Win32DiskImager to write the
4GB image.

You'll see valid partitions and it'll boot on your BeagleBoard-xM.

Given that you overwrite the SD card contents, "zero"ing the SD card
is absolutely pointless.

I've downloaded the image from the Amazon mirror, but I'm
unsuccessful in uncompressing it. Here's the error message:
$ gunzip ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.gz
gzip: ai-superjumbo-2011-03.a.gz: invalid compressed data--format
violated
The md5sum matched one of the ones posted here.
Any suggestions?

just a couple of thoughts on the image after using it for a few days.
Both Ubuntu and AI Linux work superbly but I can't get Chrome OS to
work and Android seems to be twitchy to say the least on my XM rev B
board. Chrome OS boots up but can't get through the installation
process. It doesn't detect the Ethernet adapter on my Xm board or it
could potentially require a WiFi usb adapter in order to get Internet
access. As far as Android is concerned, if I try to install an apk it
says there is no room in the card. Android marketplace doesn't work
and a good number of apps crash with force close message. Was
wondering if anyone else has had similar experience with the image.

A couple of answers to your post:
- ChromiumOS has only been tested with wifi indeed. In the next
release, we will add support for the Ethernet port. Note that you can
start ChromiumOS from AIOS (native performance) and then you can still
use the Ethernet port which can be configured through AIOS.
- As for Android, the card image that we have done is pretty small so
you can't install many other applications. Note that the Android
Market behavior varies depending of the device and your geographic
location. I've experienced very different behavior with the Market.
Note that we will install the Amazon market in the next release. All
the apps part of the image have been tested and they were working fine
for us on a Beagleboard-xM. Please describe your problems precisely
and be sure to have a clean card.
Thanks for your interest!

To get ethernet access on ChromiumOS, you actually just have to edit line 21 in /etc/init/flimflam.conf in ChromiumOS, by replacing:
exec /usr/sbin/flimflamd -i ra0 -W wext -k /var/whitelist/owner/key
with
exec /usr/sbin/flimflamd -i usb0 -k /var/whitelist/owner/key
To do so, you have a console access on tty2 (login chronos, no password)

If you press the user button when the os screen pops up you can use keyboard to make os choice.

I´ve tested it with my BeagleBoard XM, there were no issues.
The only think i miss is a bigger image for the storage. Every time I tried to debug a program within Android, it keeps saying there is no left space. So i must do it through ADB. Anyway, this is image is awesome. My buddies from the college are using it. :D
Hello,I've tried to boot Android by pressing the USER button as soon as the os selection screen pops up. Android is freezed on the logo screen. After 3 hours of waiting,I've rebooted the beagle board. Something is broken ? I tried to boot Chromium and I've got the same result. Ubuntu maverick works,instead.

I highly recommend you the rev XM.
Jason Kridner
SuperMario, I forgot to mention, but rev C4´s usb port does not have enough energy to power a keyboard. You must get a powered usb hub, then plug them.
That's not right. The reason a keyboard won't worked plugged directly into a pre-xM board is that the EHCI USB port *only* supports *high-speed* peripherals, not full-speed or low-speed peripherals like a keyboard. Putting a high-speed-capable hub in the middle will translate down to full-speed and low-speed, which is how the xM supports those types of devices directly.

Jason, I´ve tested it myself. A friend of mine was not able to get his keyboard to work with Ubuntu, i got my powered usb hub plugged and it worked :) (BeagleBoard C4 not XM)
The *REASON* that worked has nothing to do with energy, unless you have a high-speed keyboard with an insane amount of current draw. I'm just trying to avoid misinformation on the list for something that is a FAQ.
Joep Schroen
Jason is right, same applies to b or c boards.

I don't know if my beagle board is the XM rev C. Can you check please
? I got it here :
https://specialcomp.com/beagleboard/order.htm
it says Rev C4,not XM rev C4.
Does it have an Ethernet port? If yes, it is an xM.

beagle_chipsee_exp_source.tar is source code¡£
beagleboard-xm-touch.tar is image code
In linux system,extract beagleboard-xm-touch.tar
Run mkmmc-android.sh (assume your uSD card have been mounted by the system),wait for a while.
when it finished,the uSD card has been done.
caution:the uSD card ship with beagleboard -xM is a little slow,it can't run Android 2.2 well,suppose you change to Sandisk class 4
These instructions are good if I boot the Angstrom distro already installed on the SD card gave to me by the manufactuer,but what about if I run it on the Ubuntu Maverick that's inside the Super-Jumbo image ? Into which kind of hardware configuration is the Super Jumbo image able to work ?
