AmigaOne A1222 Linux Guide

Instructions

1. Download the image: http://www.fun-kart-racer.de/2bb57b2bbf87b668a94c/Tabor_debian_8_powerpcspe_5.7z

User: tabor Password: amigaone

2. Decompress it with 7-Zip

3. Copy it with “dd“ (Linux) or with the USB image Tool (Windows) to a USB pen drive. For example with Linux: dd if=“Tabor_debian_8_powerpcspe_5“ of=“disk drive ID“

4. Boot it with the following commands from a usb pen drive:

A1222> setenv bootargs root=/dev/sdb2 rootdelay=5 A1222> fatload usb 0:1 1000000 uImage.sdk17.2 A1222> fatload usb 0:1 2000000 tabor2.dtb A1222> bootm 1000000 - 2000000

5. Login:

root with password amigaone amigaone with password amigaone

After trying out you could copy it with "dd" to a hard disc from your booted Debian. You don't need to create any partitions. You just need to copy the image with "dd" from the booted Debian to a hard disk.

Instructions

1. Download the image: http://www.fun-kart-racer.de/2bb57b2bbf87b668a94c/Tabor_debian_8_powerpcspe_5.7z

User: tabor Password: amigaone

2. Decompress it with Xarchiver or Engrampa or use "Extract Here" in the context menu (right-click).

3. Copy it with “dd“ to a hard disk: dd if=Tabor_debian_8_powerpcspe_5 of=“disk drive ID“. For example: dd if=Tabor_debian_8_powerpcspe_5 of=/dev/sda.

4. After that, you could increase the Linux partition with GParted if you like.

5. Boot it with the following commands from a hard disk:

A1222> setenv bootargs root=/dev/sda2 A1222> fatload usb 0:1 1000000 uImage.sdk17.2 A1222> fatload usb 0:1 2000000 tabor2.dtb A1222> bootm 1000000 - 2000000

Or you could directly boot the kernel and the dtb file from a hard disk:

A1222> setenv bootargs root=/dev/sda2 A1222> load sata 1:2 1000000 /boot/uImage.sdk17.2 A1222> load sata 1:2 2000000 /boot/tabor2.dtb A1222> bootm 1000000 - 2000000
