Talk:F11 for XO-1

Interesting How To...

Not sure I'm up to doing it/ taking it on. but nice to know it's available for keeping those with older hardware in the loop...

I've been calling the XO 1.5 a Fat XO in the Mac tradition, same form factor / box, but different... Maybe Prodigy XO? It's same kid size, but smarter ;-/

git checkout xo-1 FAILS, no joy ;-( ...

more specifically, fails in the following way:

git checkout xo-1
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

S'not working?

After some discussion on support-gang@ a working solution is:

 git checkout --track -b xo-1 origin/xo-1

Cheerfully proving everything I already believe about git.

Build fails early:

Fixed now - git pull and try again

git reset --hard HEAD
git pull
make ...

PS - you don't need the --track option any more unless you've changed the defaults.
