I added the kernel modules to the SquashFS image and I uploaded the ISO for testing today.
Download: ubuntu-mate-16.04.1-desktop-powerpc-x1000.iso
I am not sure if all graphics cards work with the fbdev driver. We need some test results from SI and NI users.
You can boot the ISO with the following commands:
Code: Select all
CFE> ramdisk -addr=0x24000000 -fs=iso atapi0.1:casper/powerpc64/initrd.
Code: Select all
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/ramdisk file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-mate.seed boot=casper quiet ro splash --"
Code: Select all
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fs=iso atapi0.1:casper/powerpc64/vmlinux.
Cheers,
Christian
