GK802 – Ubuntu oneiric preview image Release Install Ubuntu 11.10 on GK802 Instruction

jas-hacks blog just release a preview image for GK802 quad core MINI pc. 今まで, the working part in this preview version is:

1. New ubootbased on abrasive’s (aka James Laids) excellent work.
2. GPU and VPU h/w acceleration
3. Working wifi (although performance is below par)
4. Working internal/external SD slots.
5. Working usb port
Here is the instruction for how to install it on your GK802:
1. ダウンロードimage.

2. Unzip image and dd to an SD card. This image is for a 8GB SD card, however the ext4 file partition is only 3GB therefore should work on a 4GB card. Fix the partition (by expanding it) after completing the dd.

3. Download a newuboot and ‘ddto your sd card (replace <ドライブ> with the correct value):

sudo dd if=u-boot.imx bs=1k seek=1 of=/dev/<ドライブ> && sync

4. Place image in the internal sd card slot and fingers crossed it should boot (useful to have a serial console open). The image defaults to 1280×720 画面解像度, once the desktop appears, plug-in a keboard/mouse via the usb port.

5. Next configure wifi, and it may be useful to reboot after setting wifi so that the correct time is picked up.

6. Then enjoy the desktop experience!

Unfortunately shutting down from the desktop just takes you back to the logon screen. To force a proper shut down open a command shell and issue “sudo shutdown -P now”, wait a minute or so to ensure shut down is complete and then remove the usb power cable.
To verify GPU acceleration you can run glmark2-es or es2gears. To verfiy VPU run totem with a file of your choice.

  1. こんにちは,
    How is writeddto sdcard? Can i use winimage or android terminal or linux? If i use winimage i get a error. Where can i usesudo dd if=u-boot.imx …….” command? And which issdcardat the this command, is the written to linux image sdcard, i mean same sdcard?

  2. Why not to post full command lines instead ofUnzip image and dd to an SD card. This image is for a 8GB SD card, however the ext4 file partition is only 3GB therefore should work on a 4GB card. Fix the partition (by expanding it) after completing the dd”, like su, fdisk/df, umount, dd, resize2fs? That would make things easier.
