Step 6: Using PuTTY, connect to the COM port of "PORT B" and make sure the SPEED is set to 115200.
Step 7: You might need to press ENTER once or twice to get the prompt to actually show (sounds silly but it took me a while to figure that out lol).
Step 1. : Plug an ethernet cable into the SheevaPlug and connect it to your router.
Step 2. : Check the DHCP table on the router to find out the IP that was assigned to the SheevaPlug (i.e. 192.168.15.109)
Step 3. : SSH root@<ip address> (i.e. 192.168.15.109)
Step 4. : Insert the SD card into the SheevaPlug's card reader slot.
Step 5. : dmesg | tail (shows the mount point) (i.e. /dev/mmc1)
Step 6. : Partition the SD card using fdisk /dev/mmc1 (Delete any existing partitions)
Step 7. : Create a new partition (C) accept the defaults, make it bootable (a), verify it (p) and write the new partition table (w)
Step 8. : Create the file system using mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmc1
Step 9. : Get the Kernel wget http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/platforms/sheevaplug/uImage-2.6.30-sheevaplug and Distro http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/rootfs/rootfs-f12.tar.bz2
*NOTE: WGET may not be installed on the SheevaPlug so run "yum install wget"
**NOTE: If you are not connected to the internet run route add default gw <ip address> and add the name server to /etc/resolv.conf
Step 10. : Create a mount point using mkdir /media/flash. Mount the SD card using /dev/mmc1 /media/flash. Uncompress the file system using tar -jxf rootfs-f12.tar.bz2. Copy the filesystem over to the SD card using cp -r rootfs-f12/* /media/flash. Copy the the kernel over to the SD card using cp uImage-2.6.30-sheevaplug/media/flash/boot
If you have the newest version or have finished upgrading continue to the following steps:
Step 1. : Reboot the SheevaPlug, and during the countdown, interrupt it by pressing any key.
Step 2. : Run the following commands:
* Marvell>> setenv mainlineLinux yes
* Marvell>> reset
Step 3. : Once the device reboots, you should be prompted with the fedora-arm login. Login using "root" and the password is "fedoraarm"
