preinstalled image setup

[rayssadet]

I am booting the ubuntu 12.04 preinstalled image from

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/

on my imx53 board but i cant complete it because

it cant detect the usb keyboard or mouse and when

it gets to system configuration screen for language

selection i cant make the selection.

is there some setting i am missing or..
how can i get it to complete the setup??

Thanks

Hi Rays

probably these images are not optimized for i.MX53 platform,

please check below i.MX53 Ubuntu

http://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/i.MX53+Quick+Start#i.MX53QuickStart-Ubuntu14.04

Hi chip

how can i get an optimized one or maybe a way to optimize it

maybe by passing the language selection screen, it might load

the keyboard n mouse when it completely boots.
the name of the file is ubuntu-12.04-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+mx5.img.gz
with the mx5 in it i thought it will be ok ,,

Also i tried the instruction for ubuntu 14.04 above, that didnt even come on.

did you get it to run sometime... am not sure why ... the kernel seem high

though ..

Also i tried the freescale MX53_QSB_UBUNTU_SD_DEMO_IMAGE on win7

and it cant find any disk, not even my HDD..

is there a way i can get ubuntu on an sd card that will boot (preferably 12.04)

thanks

Hi Rays

optimized means that iomux settings were correctly set.

Regadring HDD I did not understood well,

i.MX53 Demo Image has document inside, which describes

what it supports and what not. Probably HDD is not supported.

In such case you should implement such support himself.

Hi chip:

i mean my system hard disk drive HDD. The list to select destination drive is empty.

its just something.exe file that is suppose to create the boot sd card and nothing can

be done to modify it. its a select and click next kindda application.

am guessing there is no straight forward way to get ubuntu 12.04 to run on imx53

on a side not, what do you make of this error:

GModule-CRITICAL **: g_module_close: 'module->ref_count > 0' failed

Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Failed to connected to any renderer due to constraints

Segmentation fault

i get it when i try to run a program requiring libclutter-1.0 on the imx53

any insight is welcomed

thanks

Hi Rays

this is not desktop computer, but rather small chip,

so you can not expect that it will support everything

you can wish to attach.

I think first you should carefully read documentation

IMX53_1109_LINUXDOCS_BUNDLE

MCIMX53-START-R i.MX53 QS Board Schematics

then you may wish to run

L2.6.35_MX53_1109_PATCH_IMAGE :

and add step by step additional packages using

sources

L2.6.35_11_09_ER_SOURCE :

Best regards
