olpc: XO-1

I just tried out the XO-1 system on my laptop using the qemu emulator and I am impressed. It took me about 20 minutes to get it working.

You need the development image and qemu with kqemu.

If you want you can pinch those scripts and you should be good to go.

start_olpc.sh

#!/bin/bash
su -c ./su_ops.sh && qemu -m 256 -kernel-kqemu -soundhw es1370 -net user -net nic,model=rtl8139 -redir tcp:2222::22 -hda olpc-redhat-stream-development-devel_ext3.img

su_ops.sh

#!/bin/bash
rmmod rtc_cmos
modprobe rtc

#optimiser
modprobe kqemu

#virtual memory
umount /dev/shm
mount -t tmpfs -o size=272m none /dev/shm

echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
