OpenOCD if necessary

$ brew install openocd --enable-ft2232_libftdi

I bricked the first u-boot install

When I tried doing it from MMC instead of USB (no idea why). So I had to use openocd to load uboot.elf and then used a usb drive to get u-boot back http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,2835.0.html

Ethernet to Wireless NAT

using the Sharing preferences of OSX so that I don't have to sit near the router

Installation

Since u-boot was not able to boot from the sdhc, I started the installation from usb and installed it to sdhc. Looks good until now.

http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install/

I killed the power

and rebooted, and ended up with a I/O error from mmblk (the sdhc card). So I took it out, let it cool down (it had gotten very hot) and rebooted again. It worked.

• ssmtp to forward email
• ntpdate to fix the time (sheevaplug is forgetting on reboot)
• purge mlocate aptitude u-boot-tools exim4 exim4-config exim4-base exim4-daemon-light
• smartmontools
• nfs-kernel-server
• laptop-mode-tools [config: PENDING]
• tmux

minidlna

Snap to setup. Just works.

NFS

• mount on osx needed the -o resvport option to work
