15  &lt;h1&gt;Pico Projector Development Kit&lt;/h1&gt;
16  &lt;p&gt;Congratulations on your new DLP Pico Projector Development Kit.  This is where you can find some demos to try it out with your BeagleBoard.&lt;/p&gt;
17  &lt;h1&gt;Initializing an SD card from a Linux host&lt;/h1&gt;
18  &lt;p&gt;You&apos;ll need a 2GB or greater SD card and an adapter that works with your Linux host to configure Linux on your BeagleBoard.&lt;/p&gt;
19  &lt;h2&gt;If you already have a Linux host&lt;/h2&gt;
20  &lt;blockquote&gt;
21   &lt;ol&gt;
22    &lt;li&gt;
23     Format the SD card, two alternatives.
24     &lt;ul&gt;
25      &lt;li&gt;
26       &lt;a href=&quot;http://nishanthmenon.blogspot.com/2008/08/how-to-boot-beagle.html&quot;&gt;Gparted method&lt;/a&gt;
27      &lt;/li&gt;
28      &lt;li&gt;
29       &lt;a href=&quot;http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/LinuxBootDiskFormat&quot;&gt;Fdisk method&lt;/a&gt;
30      &lt;/li&gt;
31     &lt;/ul&gt;
32    &lt;/li&gt;
33    &lt;li&gt;
34     Download the two SD partition images.
35     &lt;ul&gt;
36      &lt;li&gt;
37       &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mybloop.com/go/Hc8737&quot;&gt;pico_sd_fat.tar.bz2.&lt;/a&gt;
38      &lt;/li&gt;
39      &lt;li&gt;
40       &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mybloop.com/go/sRpQx0&quot;&gt;pico_sd_ext3.tar.bz2.&lt;/a&gt;
41      &lt;/li&gt;
42     &lt;/ul&gt;
43    &lt;/li&gt;
44    &lt;li&gt;
45     With the SD formatted and mounted on your Linux host, extract the 
46   partition images to the SD card.  Assumes you&apos;re in the directory 
47   where the image files reside otherwise type the full path of the image 
48   file.  Replace /media/beagle_fat with your SD fat partition mount 
49   point, same for /media/beagle_ext3.
50     &lt;ul&gt;
51      &lt;li&gt;sudo tar xvjf pico_sd_fat.tar.bz2 -C /media/beagle_fat&lt;/li&gt;
52      &lt;li&gt;sudo tar xvjf pico_sd_ext3.tar.bz2 -C /media/beagle_ext3&lt;/li&gt;
53      &lt;li/&gt;
54     &lt;/ul&gt;
55    &lt;/li&gt;
56   &lt;/ol&gt;
57  &lt;/blockquote&gt;
58  &lt;h2&gt;If you don&apos;t have a Linux host&lt;/h2&gt;
59  &lt;blockquote&gt;
60   &lt;h3&gt;Creating a Linux installation under Windows&lt;/h3&gt;
61   &lt;p&gt;If you&apos;d like to install Linux under a on your Windows PC, without disrupting your Windows setup consider installing Linux in a virtual machine with VMWare.  The below video gives a description of how to get started:&lt;/p&gt;
62   &lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;
63    &lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/WRk2YHlXjMQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&quot;/&gt;
64    &lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;/&gt;
65    &lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot;/&gt;
66    &lt;embed src=&quot;WRk2YHlXjMQ&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;/&gt;
67   &lt;/object&gt;
68  &lt;/blockquote&gt;
69  &lt;h2&gt;Using &apos;dd&apos; from any operating system&lt;/h2&gt;
70  &lt;p&gt;A &apos;dd&apos; image can be created from Linux without access to an SD card, then written from any operating system where &apos;dd&apos; can be run.&lt;/p&gt;
71  &lt;ol&gt;
72   &lt;li&gt;
73    Build the image using
74    &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.beagleboard.org/~arago/mkpicoimg.txt&quot;&gt;mkpicoimg.sh&lt;/a&gt;
75    adjusting as necessary for the size of your SD card, location of your files, etc.  --- or ---
76   &lt;/li&gt;
77   &lt;li&gt;
78    Simply download
79    &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.beagleboard.org/~arago/pico.img.gz&quot;&gt;pico.img.gz.&lt;/a&gt;
80   &lt;/li&gt;
81   &lt;li&gt;

83     gzcat sd.img.gz | dd of=
84     &lt;i&gt;your device&lt;/i&gt;
85    &lt;/a&gt;
86   &lt;/li&gt;
