| Takyoji | Anyone know have to flash an image on a netbook? | 04:03 |
|---|---|---|
| Takyoji | know how to flash an image* | 04:03 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: You mean the BIOS? | 04:23 |
| Takyoji | Whichever the OS is installed on; thus I'm assuming not the BIOS. xP | 04:24 |
| Takyoji | There isn't any BIOS screen or anything for this device that I can tell | 04:24 |
| tonyyarusso | Um, you install it like any other machine. | 04:24 |
| * tonyyarusso is confused about the problem | 04:24 | |
| Takyoji | It's a netbook, no CDROM drive obviously, I don't think I can get to a BIOS menu, it's storage is on an internal SSD | 04:25 |
| Takyoji | just a Windows CE screen at start | 04:26 |
| tonyyarusso | What makes you think you can't get to a BIOS menu? | 04:26 |
| tonyyarusso | And you can use either a USB flash drive or USB CD-ROM drive to install from. | 04:26 |
| Takyoji | Because there is no BIOS screen anything at all | 04:26 |
| tonyyarusso | so? Read the manual and start hitting keys. | 04:27 |
| Takyoji | otherwise for your curiosity, it's a Delstar DS 700 | 04:32 |
| Takyoji | can't even find the official manufacturer website; and for what I can find of a manufacturer manual for it, it doesn't have anything intricate about the system | 04:33 |
| tonyyarusso | Stop buying weird nonsense :S | 04:33 |
| Takyoji | I didn't buy it. :P | 04:34 |
| Takyoji | It was a $100 netbook | 04:34 |
| Takyoji | ARM architecture | 04:34 |
| Takyoji | 128MB RAM | 04:34 |
| * fisch246 cranks Devildriver \m/ | 04:47 | |
| fisch246 | and don't worry... i've been squeezing in Cloud Cult from time to time :3 | 04:50 |

| FloatingGoat | hello? | 20:31 |
| Takyoji | So yea, I've taken apart the netbook and I guess the only way to get a Linux installation onto it would be flashing an image to it through JTAG | 20:57 |
| Takyoji | Anyone have some JTAG equipment, and a JTAG pin port to spare? :P | 20:58 |
| ColinHarrington | Takyoji: Never done anything with JTAG, but I've got a Bricked WRT54g that needs some debricking | 21:04 |
| Takyoji | A WRT54G instead of a WRT54GL? | 21:08 |
| ColinHarrington | G version 2 I think | 21:20 |
| ColinHarrington | I'd have to check | 21:20 |
| Takyoji | otherwise I just came across this: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9544 | 21:22 |
| tonyyarusso | Takyoji: I think there's an #ubuntu-arm channel that may be useful to you. | 22:40 |
