Re: [Gumstix-users] Overo Console

Hi James,

I had simialr problems when I first took delivery of my Overo Air and Tobi
boards, I have two of each.

After searching through these pages I finally found the following link:

http://www.sakoman.com/feeds/omap3/glibc/images/overo/200906032120/

I downloaded all of the necessary pre-built packages and then copied them to
Micro SD as instructed at the Gumstix pages...
http://www.gumstix.net/Documentation/view/Overo/Creating-a-bootable-microSD-card/109.html.

On powering up the system I had to make further changes to get wifi,
ethernet and Dropbear ssh all of which I now have working. I still do not
have hdmi out, but I do not need this and I am now trying to build the
mainline over-oe software.

Basically I was at the same point you are, I thought the boards were
damaged, but it turned out that I just had to load the correct software and
hey presto. It would be nice if they had shipped with this, but you can't
have it that easy it seems.

I hope this helps.
