intel-atom-iso

The intel-atom-iso project is designed to be used in conjunction with the Linuxium isorespin.sh to build a customized Ubuntu installation ISO for Mini-PCs using the Intel Atom chip. It consists of:

1. additional WiFi driver (brcmfmac43455) for the Intel Atom;
2. scripts to correct the problem with audio out on HDMI;
3. fix-volumekeys.sh - a script to correct the volume up/down/mute key handling;
4. install-xForge.sh - a script to install xForge software.
5. lubuntu-isorespin.tpl - a template for the isorespin.sh script by Ian Morrison (a.k.a. Linuxium)

Usage

To use the isorespin.sh script and this template, follow these steps:

1. Download the iso for Lubuntu 16.04 from here - choose a 64-bit installer;

2. Download the isorespin.sh script from linuxium.au, preferably to a directory on your path such as /usr/local/bin;

3. cd to the directory where this repository was cloned and do the following:

   1. isorespin.sh -t lubuntu-isorespin.tpl -i lubuntu-16.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso;

   2. Insert a USB storage stick;

   3. sudo dd if=linuxium-atom-lubuntu-16.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M status=progress;

      where /dev/sdx is the device name for your USB stick.

You can now boot from the LiveUSB stick to run and install Lubuntu. The Lubuntu installation will have the following additions:

1. ssh
2. WiFi driver for the Atom x5-Z8350 processor
3. Correction for HDMI Audio

Once Lubuntu has been installed, login as the user that you created during installation and run the following scripts (if you like - they are optional):

1. fix-volumekeys.sh - fixes the lubuntu configuration so that the Volume Up/Down/Mute keys on a media keyboard work correctly;
2. install-xForge.sh - installs the web-languageForge software and its prerequisites. The usage for install-xForge.sh is:

install-xForge.sh [--repo=<web-languageForge-repo] [--saaz] [--access-point]

The options are defined as:

  `--repo`: specify a repository to be used for the web-languageForge software.  If an alternative repo is not specified, the [SIL repository](https://github.com/sillsdev/web-languageforge.git) is used.

  `--saaz`: a shortcut for `[email protected]:/home/grady/projects/sil/xForge/web-languageforge` because I'm lazy.

  `--access-point`: will run the ansible playbook to setup a WiFi access point on the target device.  Note that this playbook is currently not available in the master branch of the SIL repository.
