I have just received an Overo Earth / Tobi and did try to install the latest prebuild image on a microSD card. I have followed this guide: http://www.gumstix.net/Setup-and-Programming/view/Overo-Setup-and-Programming/Creating-a-bootable-microSD-card/111.html and installed the omap3-desktop-image-overo-200910072256.tar.bz2 found here http://www.sakoman.com/feeds/omap3/glibc/images/overo/200910072256/ The system does boot from the microSD, but the system is going low on RAM after a few minutes. My question is. Are the prebuild images checked in anyway from Gumstix or are they just autobuilds? If they are autobuilds are there any suggestions for a functioning desktop and console version? Thanks Benny |

They are autobuilds, and the last couple have serious issues :-) Try using the 200909242050 version. I'll remove the defective builds so they don't bite anyone else :-) Steve |

The console version from that day seems to be a lot better. Is there a way to check that version out if I'm going to build the rootfs? When I follow http://www.gumstix.net/Setup-and-Programming/view/Overo-Setup-and-Programming/Setting-up-a-build-environment/111.html I got an "No package 'pangocairo' found" and unfortunately I'm new to both GIT, Bitbake and OpenEmbedded and are in doubt if that is caused from something missing on my Ubuntu 9.04 installation or if it's caused by a broken OE / Overo recipe. Thanks again Benny |
