Ubuntu/Debian installation for Odroid-C1

Overview:

  • makes complete Odroid-C1 SDCard image ready to be copied to SDCard
  • tested distributions: Ubuntu precise&trusty&utopic&vivid, Debian wheezy&jessie
  • installs basic debootstrap installation & some essential additional packages
  • automatic installation without user intervention needed
  • automatic creation of user account and user password
  • automatic localization (same as host or specified)
  • network works, ssh server installed
  • filesystem size less then 500 MB
  • initial RAM usage less then 40 MB
  • tricks to enable serial console, framebuffer console
  • using tmux (started automatically on logon) to provide cursor in framebuffer console
  • full desktop (LXDE/LUBUNTU/MATE) can be installed later (scripts included)

Options:

  • create image without fat partition, boot from ext4 partition
  • create btrfs formated filesystem with compression enabled
  • boot.ini has option to disable video and free more than 100MB of RAM, frame buffer is still usable (uses only 24MB RAM) (thanks tobetter)
  • xz compress image after creation and create md5summ
  • create filesystem in local directory, create image later using image_from_dir script

Tips:

  • uses Hardkernel's repository for kernel update
  • to resize partition to fit SDCard run: sudo fs_resize
  • you can use "format_sdcard" script to format sd card for Odroid Linux.
  • you can use "image_from_dir" script to create the image file from installation in local folder.
  • you can use "backup_sdcard" script to backup sdcard to local folder.
  • you can use "restore_sdcard" script to restore sdcard from backup folder.
  • Edit rc-local to set cpu frequency to 1.728 GHz
