Hi all,
we (OpenELEC) are happy to provide our first devel builds for Cubox-i.
Note: this builds are experimental and contains some known and not known issues.
Until we created a installer script (very soon) and/or images (soon without "very") you must install manually. For this a Linux PC will be needed:
- Download our build
wget http://snapshots.openelec.tv/OpenELEC-Cuboxi.arm-devel-20140123155012-r17126-gceb58b6.tar
- Untar our build
tar xf OpenELEC-Cuboxi.arm-devel-20140123155012-r17126-gceb58b6.tar
- change to the untarred dir
cd OpenELEC-Cuboxi.arm-devel-20140123155012-r17126-gceb58b6
- download the u-boot file (the uboot which comes with OpenELEC is actually broken, so use a prebuild file from a older uboot version
(note: this file is for Cubox-i4pro and will not work with the other models)wget http://sources.openelec.tv/tmp/image/misc/u-boot_mx6_cubox-i4pro.imx
- insert your sdcard in your sdcard reader and find out which device is used (in our example its /dev/sdc)
Attention: you can loose all your data if you choose the wrong device, so not copy paste the following commands without checking twice!!!
- prepare your sdcard with fdisk, you need to create 2 partitions (150MB starting at offset 2048 + rest)

- format partition 1 (fat)
sudo mkfs.vfat -n System /dev/sdc1
- format partition 2 (ext4)
sudo mkfs.ext4 -L Storage /dev/sdc2
- mount partition 1 to /mnt
sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
- copy Kernel and System to SDCard
sudo cp target/KERNEL target/SYSTEM /mnt/
- create bootloader config
cat << EOF | sudo tee /mnt/uEnv.txt
bootfile=/KERNEL
mmcargs=setenv bootargs 'boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 debugging ssh quiet video=mxcfb0:dev=hdmi,1920x1080M@60,if=RGB24,bpp=16 dmfc=3'
EOF
- unmount /mnt
- write the bootloader
sudo dd if=u-boot_mx6_cubox-i4pro.imx of=/dev/sdc bs=512 seek=2
- Done!
