Download

New builds are announced on the devel mailing list.

XO-1.75 and XO-1.5

To install from Open Firmware on an unlocked XO-1.5, download a .zd file to a USB drive. Choose the correct one: there are several. Files which end in .zd2 are for 2GB media and .zd4 is for 4GB media.

Insert the USB drive into the XO-1.5, get to the Ok prompt and type:

fs-update u:\osXX.zdN

Where osXX.zdN is the file you downloaded, for example os22.zd4.

XO-1

To install from Open Firmware on an unlocked XO-1, download the .onu and .uim files to a USB drive.

Insert the USB drive into the XO-1, get to the Ok prompt and type:

update-nand u:\osXX.onu

where osXX.onu is the .onu file you downloaded, for example os22.onu.

(Watch out, there's a trap. Never use copy-nand for this release. copy-nand was for previous releases with .img and .crc files, but we no longer use it for .onu and .uim files. copy-nand might seem to finish okay, but your XO-1 won't start. If that happens, do it again using update-nand as above.)

Updating with olpc-update

To update to 11.3.0 using olpc-update, you can run:

XO-1:

sudo olpc-update 11.3.0_xo1-XX

XO-1.5:

sudo olpc-update 11.3.0_xo1.5-XX

XO-1.75:

sudo olpc-update 11.3.0_xo1.75-XX


Where XX is the build number you wish to install (e.g. 22). See http://build.laptop.org/11.3.0 for the list. Do not include the "os" prefix in the build number.

Developers

The release is built with Build system::OS Builder version Build system version::4.0.x (master) under Build platform::Fedora 14, using f14-xo1.ini, f14-xo1.5.ini and f14-xo1.75.ini at this point in the development process. The f14, f14-xo1, f14-xo1.5 and f14-xo1.75 RPM dropboxes are used.

Bug reports

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

Sugar-specfic bugs and activity issues should be filed at http://bugs.sugarlabs.org. System-related bugs should be filed at http://dev.laptop.org. If in doubt, ask on the mailing list first, or file at OLPC and let us take care of it for you.

For OLPC tickets, 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.
