I installed linux on aakash using your image file mentioned in the FAQ's. But it is not connecting to the wifi router. How to resolve this problem. Do we need to install any drivers? please help me as soon as possible.

srikantpatnaik commented 10 years ago

It is a known issue, in some versions it doesn't work even with right driver. Sometimes a restart into Android environment and back to Linux helps.

Thanks for your reply sir, so any suggestion to install new packages.I am trying to install tinyOS in that using pendrive, but it's not detecting. I used usb hub to connect keyboard and mouse those are working fine. Did you connect pendrive to aakash in linux platform. Please help me in this sir.

srikantpatnaik commented 10 years ago

Boot from pendrive is not possible. By the way, you cannot directly boot a tinyOS for A13 Allwinner board, you can build a tinyOS filesystem for ARM and use instead of Ubuntu12.10 given in our image, if you're lucky it might work with existing kernel.

can't we connect pendrive for even file transfer?

srikantpatnaik commented 10 years ago

You can. File transfer is possible. If it is not detecting/mounting automatically, follow the steps:

  1. dmesg

    Look for size of your drive, find the device, typically it should be something like /dev/uba1 or /dev/sdb1

  2. sudo mount /dev/uba1 /mnt
  3. cd /mnt

is there any speed limit on hub, I am using one hub to which i connected all keyboard,mouse and pendrive. dmesg command showing that uba1 failed; connect to a high speed usb hub.

srikantpatnaik commented 10 years ago

Are you using a powered hub ? If not, use a powered one, also try connecting pendrive without hub and check whether its working or not.
