Download

Development builds are available here:

http://build.laptop.org/11.2.0

New builds are announced on the devel mailing list.

To install from Open Firmware on an unlocked XO-1.5, download the .zd file to a USB drive and run:

ok fs-update u:\osXX.zd

To install from Open Firmware on an unlocked XO-1, download the .onu and .uim files and run:

ok update-nand u:\osXX.onu

Upgrading with olpc-update

To install the latest 11.2.0 using olpc-update, you can run:

XO-1:

sudo olpc-update 11.2.0_xo1-XX

XO-1.5:

sudo olpc-update 11.2.0_xo1.5-XX

In both cases, "XX" must be substituted with the build number you wish to install (e.g. 14). See http://build.laptop.org/11.2.0 for the list.

The release is being built with Build system::OS Builder version Build system version::3.0 (master) under Build platform::Fedora 14. The f14, f14-xo1 and f14-xo1.5 RPM dropboxes are used.

Bug reports

We are now looking for bug reports on all levels - system, Sugar, ...

Please file bugs at http://dev.laptop.org. Leave the milestone field blank but mention clearly that you are testing 11.2.0, your bug report will then be triaged into the appropriate place.

What happened to 11.1.x?

At the time of planning this release around Fedora 14 for XO-1 and XO-1.5, we are in the interesting situation where XO-1.75 software development is restricted to developing around F12/F13. The 11.1.x space is therefore reserved for a F12/F13 release for XO-1.75. In the future, we hope to produce joint software releases for all 3 laptops.

This oddity is expected to be a one-off; as soon as Fedora/ARM reaches Fedora 14, XO-1.75 releases will be able to share the same base (and versioning) as XO-1/XO-1.5 releases.
