Debian Wheezy install on SheevaPlug MMC/SD

In this howto I’m going to explain how to install debian wheezy on a sheevaplug SD (i want to maintain my old squeeze on NAND flash). We need at least Marvell U-boot 3.4.19.

Clonezilla PXE Setup

We assume that our server has ip 192.168.171.11, and root directory of tftp server is /srv/tftp

Download clonezilla-live-1.2.8-42-i686.zip and clonezilla-live-1.2.8-42-amd64.zip on a local directory and unzip them. Obviously you can use only one of them.

# tar xjvf syslinux-4.04.tar.bz2 # cp syslinux-4.04/core/pxelinux.0 /srv/tftp/ # cp syslinux-4.04/com32/menu/vesamenu.c32 /srv/tftp # mkdir /srv/tftp/clonezilla-amd64 # cp […]

Recompile Kernel for SheevaPlug

Howto recompile a custom kernel for our SheevaPlug:

apt-get install git-core build-essential

Then download the latest kernel from Marvell:

cd /usr/src git clone git://git.marvell.com/orion.git

Then set default config for SheevaPlug:
