How to

  • Download the latest archive here
  • Use at least 4GB SD Card
  • Format an SD Card to one FAT32 with label “BOOT” (more details)
  • Unzip the file you downloaded at step 1 and copy all files to SD Card
  • Insert the SD Card into the slot of the FABtotum
  • Connect to the FABtotum via Ethernet cable
  • Turn on the FABtotum
  • Wait for the LEDs to turn blue, open a web browser and in the address bar type 169.254.1.2

Custom initial IP address

In case your network does not allow you to use 169.254.1.2, this address can be changed. Open the fresh SD Card before continuing and open ealyboot/earlyboot.conf file.

Find the following lines

# Network settings
NETWORK_IF="eth0"
NETWORK_IPV4="169.254.1.2/16"
#NETWORK_MASK="255.255.0.0"
NETWORK_GW="169.254.1.1"

Change the NETWORK_IPV4 and NETWORK_GW to your desired values. NETWORK_MASK is unused at this moment. Instead use network mask prefix in NETWORK_IPV4.

The new address will be transferred to the new system as the initial ethernet address. Once you boot up the new system you can change the ethernet address.

The recovery address however will be the on configured in ealyboot/earlyboot.conf so keep this in mind next time you need to enter the recovery procedure.
