Chronology
- G1G1 donor 2007
- Introduced to OLPC via Lilug (sp. by J5's demo at LILUG)
- XO received on 2008/Mar/21 and it survived graduate school
(a bit dirty and the battery life's reduced a bit, but otherwise intact) - 2010/Mar/01: Overhauled this page.
- 2010/Jun/09: Added "Notes" section.
- 2010/Sep/04: Added bootable SD how-to for release 10.1.2
My Setup
Hardware
- XO-1
- 16GB Transcend SDHC card, model number TS16GSDHC6.
- Confirmed as a working and bootable device (as an SD card in the SD slot or via an SD-to-USB adapter).
- Geometry: 137 heads, 39 sectors/track, 5873 cylinders
- Performance: ≈48MB/s read, ≈1MB/s write (Class 6)
- Model S Das Keyboard
- picoLCD
Software
- Release 10.1.3 (Build 860)
See below for release-specific activities
Tricks and Techniques
- Notes to Self: Things to do, ideas to try out, and stuff I doubt I'd ever get off the ground.
Releases
8.0.2 (Build 821)
10.1.2 (Build 852)
10.1.3 (Build 860)
The installation method described for a bootable 10.1.2 SD card applies for 10.1.3. Just substitute /versions/pristine/860 for /versions/pristine/852.
Firmware
Activites
Deprecated
Troubleshooting
- 2009-09-03
Battery stopped working, but the XO still functions on AC adapter. - 2010-01-07
Battery springs back to life of its own accord. I have no idea why. - 2010-03-25
Battery again stops working. Since the XO has been unplugged and unused for the last three weeks, it's possible that the battery has discharged to the point that the XO cannot recognize its presence. Leaving the XO on and plugged in seems to have cured the battery detection problem, but the underlying cause remains unconfirmed.
Cool Stuff
- XoPhoto
- Drawing on the sidewalk in Artigas, Uruguay; Martin Goncalves
- Proud girls on their way home from school in Ramallah
- Kofi Annan and Jeff Sachs at a Millennium Village in Bonsaaso, Ghana. Children in the village are taking pictures with their XOs and showing them off.
- Statue of Learning
- Proposed icon for an OLPC repair center (not the best, but kinda cute)
