Ubuntu Saucy Salamander disk image

[Dominik Fretz]

Hi there,

As mentioned before, I've been working on updating the OpenROV disc image and finally uploaded it:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-NH5UNY7g7jLWZvLUt4VHo1R2s/edit?usp=sharing

I couldn't test it yet except booting it on a plain BB without cape.

Could someone try to write it on an SD card an see if it works for them?

One thing I'm not entirely sure about is the UART connection and if the GPIO for the RESET is setup correctly.

To install:

Linux:

unpack it (with 7zip)

and use dd to move it to your sd card:

dd if=OpenROV-13-08-2013.img of=/dev/sdXXXX

Windows:

Delete the partitions on the sd card with the windows disk manager, create a new fat partition and then use win32disk imager to write the unpacked image to the sd card.

Feedback is welcome!

Dominik

Oh, one other thing, I just tested to write the image from Windows.

it turns out, with the latest version of Win32DiskImager, http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/?source=dlp, both the Boot and the ROOT partitions are written properly even on a used sd card.
