Debian :: Installing Onto An Embedded Device Without The Use Of The Internet
Apr 18, 2011
I am to drop Linux onto an ARM9 NAS board to make it more useful than just a network attached storage device.
I know about U-Boot and I can install Debian Linux by booting the system via TFTP, and I can install Linux easily... if I have an internet connection.
My question is, how can I install Debian WITHOUT the use of an internet connection. I am looking into downloading the armel flavour of Debain and using that as a source, but I have no idea on how to install it onto an embedded system as it has no CD/DVD drive. It only has an ethernet port, 2 USB-2.0 ports and a serial UART port.

I want to make a bootable USB drive with a Embedded Linux Image. The Embedded Linux Configuration tool has given me the vmlinux(image) and the menu.lst. I have done the following Steps; # fdisk /dev/sdb Then I got some option I deleted the old partition and made new one and selected the primary partition. then formatted the partition in ext2.
# mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
# mkdir -p /mnt/boot/grub
# cp menu.lst /mnt/boot
# cp vmlinux /mnt/boot
# umount /mnt

I am developing a device that will run Linux as its operating system.The device is a small form factor X86 device with a flash drive exposed as a SATA-device. So it is not very dissimilar from any other PC running Linux.For several good reasons I am building my own "distribution", instead of using an existing one.What confuses me is how mount/umount of the root file system is handled.I boot my kernel with the commandline "root=/dev/sda1 rw" which works fine. But everytime I do poweroff or reboot Busybox complained about no /etc/fstab, so I decided to build one.Should I have an entry for my root file system? It seems like this is shadowed by the rootfs anyway. I.e. if I have the fstab entry "/dev/sda1 / ext2 1 1" mount still reports rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue)My questions are:Do I need to worry? Will the drive be correctly unmounted by the kernel on poweroff/reboot?If I want to perform file system checking on boot, can I do that without resorting to an initrd?

I'm trying to get sound to work on an embedded board. The boot says ALSA is present and sound chip is present. So I try to open the device with:
The hardware manufacturer assures me the device is hw:0,0 so I set device to:
This gives me:
So I'm presuming the advice that I use hw:0,0 must be wrong? So I need to find a way of working out what the device id is. I've tried default, no effect, then tried the command asoundconf list, which returns an error. I'm using a min linux build on an embedded system (busybox) so is there a way to find my sound device.

I'm working on a project to have our company logo image display on the screen during bootup. Our platform is an embedded Linux device running on a custom configured linux kernel 2.6.38.2. Our development distro is Ubuntu 10.04. I am currently trying to get fbsplash to work on our device with no luck so far.

I'm trying to install a SDK iso image onto an embedded linux platform. I was able to mount the image on the platform without problems. I also created a symbolic link called "bash" in the bin directory and had that point to busybox to satisfy the first line of code in the installer: "#!/bin/bash". However, when I run the installer, I get an error: "installer: applet not found"
I get the same error when I type "bash" on the command line. Is there a way to fix this? Here is the first few lines of code that causes the error:
#!/bin/bash
DEBUG=${DEBUG:="0"} # Enables debugging options
LC_OPTION=${LC_OPTION:="prompt"} # Licensing related variable
INSTALL_PATH=${INSTALL_PATH:=$HOME} # Default installation path
declare -r SCRIPT_NAME="`basename $0`"
declare -r SCRIPT_CALLED="$0 $*"

I need to install an usb device (Atmel AVR Dragon JTag) and use it in combination with eclipse.
The device is connected. I can connect using
Code: Select allpaul@debian64:/etc/udev/rules.d$ sudo avarice -g
AVaRICE version 2.11, Dec 22 2013 18:22:47
Defaulting JTAG bitrate to 250 kHz.
JTAG config starting.
Found a device: AVRDRAGON
Serial number: 00:a2:00:02:74:52
Reported JTAG device ID: 0x9587
Configured for device ID: 0x9587 atmega32u4
JTAG config complete.
paul@debian64:/etc/udev/rules.d$
But the same command without using sudo fails :
Code: Select allpaul@debian64:/etc/udev/rules.d$ avarice -g
AVaRICE version 2.11, Dec 22 2013 18:22:47
Defaulting JTAG bitrate to 250 kHz.
did not find any USB device "usb"
USB device not found
paul@debian64:/etc/udev/rules.d$
After googling I created
Code: Select allpaul@debian64:/etc/udev/rules.d$ more 40-atmel.rules
# Atmel AVR Dragon
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTR{idProduct}=="2107", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"
paul@debian64:/etc/udev/rules.d$
but to no avail....
system:
Host = Windows 10 Pro 64
VirtualBox 5
Guest = Debian Jessie

i'd like to install the b43 firmware driver on my laptop without internet connection. It requires internet connection to download the firmware-b43-installer...tar.bz2. I have this tar.bz2 on my hard drive, the problem is i don't know how to make debian use that for the install, instead of trying to download it.

I've bought a small embedded controller running with a minimized Lenny for armel. Minimized in a way that there is even no apt-get or dpkg installed on it, due to keep the memory footprint as small as possible.Is there a way to keep a "shadow" system in a directory on my Laptop (e.g. ~/armel), maintained with dependencies by a package manager like apt-get? This would allow to install addition packages including all dependent with a simple apt-get call.Of course, later I have to put the whole tree from my Laptop towards my embedded controller. I've already tried the following:Setup a directory tree behind ~/armel for apt by a copy from my laptops Lenny
"sudo apt-get -o DIR=~/armel -o APT::Architecture=armel update"
to get the repositories, this works fine
"sudo apt-get -o DIR=~/armel -o APT::Architecture=armel -d -f install"
to download the full list of .deb packages, this works fine

I searched the menu-bar of gedit, i searched the web, i searched the help of gedit.(try a search on "change background to black for gedit" and similar and you know what i have gone through).If i use the embedded terminal in gedit (the only reason i use gedit at all) its background color is set to white.I barely can read it and it is useless.This is not a gnome-installation. Perhaps i miss a package needed ?

I've got a laptop running i386 Debian Lenny, and I was able to get Iceweasel to run flash videos by installing packages via debian-multimedia. However, now I need to get embedded streaming (real time) QuickTime videos to display (as part of a project at work). Is there something I should install from the repos for that? Or do I need a Firefox plug-in from the net? I saw a few libs in the repos that seem related, but I wasn't sure if that was what I needed.

Iceweasel, Konqueror, makes no difference. Embedded flash videos make them crash every time. I had to install Flash Control on Iceweasel just to make it usable.
[pid 9417] --- SIGALRM {si_signo=SIGALRM, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_value={int=1851877730, ptr=0x6e616962}} ---
[pid 9520] <... close resumed> ) = ? <unavailable>
[pid 9446] +++ killed by SIGALRM +++
[pid 9444] +++ killed by SIGALRM +++
[pid 9520] +++ killed by SIGALRM +++
[pid 9447] +++ killed by SIGALRM +++
+++ killed by SIGALRM +++
The kicker is I can't recall ever installing flash support in the first place.
I'm bitterly regretting the upgrade to 8.2. It's just one damn thing after another.

i am working with an old system that uses a BIOS meant for embedded systems. According to my coworkers this thing boot some version of debian about two years ago. currently I have used there old image and a new one I made of the latest Debian stable build. both images fail to get passed grub.
to be clear the BIOS simply replies "loading grub" takes ten minutes and then crashes.
has anyone ever had trouble with grub crashing systems? this problem seems odd since is did boot with this two years ago and i still have that image.

I'm back with irritating questions. Ubuntu headless server, 10.04
I would like to set up my Linux box as a media streamer. I have Media Tomb set up so that the PS3, Xbox and other PCs can access my media over the LAN but I want to listen to my music on my iPhone when I am at work. What is the best way to do this? I have searched the interwebs as well as these forums with confusing results. I have found many options to stream while on my LAN but few to stream over the internet.
I rarely watch video on my iPhone so that is not a feature I need, just music.
While I am making a thread, is there anything that will stream .mov files to my PS3? I'd love to be able to watch my HD iPhone vids on the large TV in the living room.

I recently installed ubuntu netbook remix on my pc with my usb. I decided to try another version of ubuntu and created another bootable usb but the system won't boot from it. I've tried different sticks so I guess it has something to do with what ubuntu did to my startup. How can I enable booting from a usb again? (It's already set in the bios)
Note: Is there any way to restore my mbr as it was before installing ubuntu? I know there are some apps for this on the internet but I have no cd drive and I can't boot from my usb.

I just recently installed ubuntu, my first experience with linux. I don't know if it isn't recognizing my wireless card or if it is another issue, but I am unable to view any wireless networks/connect to any. When I click on the network icon it says "wireless" with Device Not Ready underneath.

Currently my setup is a road runner cable modem connected to a desktop via a ethernet cable. The networkmanager lists "Broadcom BCM440-BO 100BaseTX" device not managed. I've turned off the power to both the cable modem and the computer. I then turned on the power to the cable modem and then the computer. If I try the firefox browser, it can not connect to the internet.

I'm currently using SuSE 11.4 and after running the full online updates and restarting the machine as YAST suggested, I no longer have eth0/eth1 available.
I'm clueless about what to do since I'm kinda new to Linux and at the moment, I'm trying out all the distros before making a full commitment to anyone. So far, Ubuntu has been trouble-free from day one, but I'm willing to give this distro (opensuse) some slack.

I am trying to install the video driver for my hp a1010n. The video device is a 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics. I have seen a few sites that have referenced this but they were not written for new users and I could not figure out how to install it. I am fairly adept at usage of computers (mostly Windows OS) but am not yet familiar with Ubuntu so I am aware of the absolute basics... I am just not sure what commands to use in the terminal and etc.. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

I have a raid 0 setup with 2 x 1TB drives. I have an ASUS P8P67 LE motherboard and am using Interl RST for the Raid setup. I'm utterly ignorant of raid and therefore forgive any mistakes... I already had windows 7 installed and was attempting to dual boot ubuntu.
I installed Ubuntu from CD. The raid was picked up properly as only one drive by ubuntu. So it picked up the windows MBR and the main windows partition. I resized the main partition and used the "install ubuntu and windows 7 side by side" option. Installation went fine but once I restarted the PC I was welcomed by a grub rescue screen with the message: "error: no such device e196.....". Edit: I used the Windows 7 disc to repair the windows bootloader so I can now boot into Windows 7.
Before doing so I used gparted on the live cd to check the partitions on the drives. The only ones present were the MBR and windows one. So ubuntu seemingly didn't install... Although GRUB did... I was advised by someone on the ubuntu IRC chat to avoid trying to reinstall ubuntu at that point just in case there was an error in the partitioning process. I've since checked the state of the partitions from within windows and there's the MBR partiton, the windows partiton AND the partition that I created for ubuntu... 965MB of the partition that I created is listed as used space as well...

I recently installed Open SUSE 11.2. It's a pretty cool OS. Anyway,sadly enough, I cannot access my internet connection via my USB internet modem. Worst of all, Open SUSE cannot detect the USB modem device. I am currently new to Linux and I may be overlooking something. I also clearly figured that Linux online is better than Linux offline from what I read from blogs and numerous posts. So in essence, I cannot fully appreciate the true power of Open SUSE 11.2 offline. Would there be a way to install my USB modem device?

I'm having trouble getting onto the internet with ubuntu 9.04. I have just moved house and have just got the internet set up here (typing this on windows laptop with wireless). My ubuntu desktop is plugged in to the network, but in the top right hand corner when I click on the network icon I get: "Wired network device not managed"
In my old house I had a static IP. Is this anything to do with it?
