To get Bodhi Linux on your generation 8 (gen8) tablet do the following:
- Install the Archos SDE
- Download Bodhi for ARM
- Bring up the boot loader and choose recovery mode (Power on and hold the volume down button until the loader comes up, use the down volume to select 'recovery mode') and choose to re-install the firmware
- When the device goes into usb mode, connect the tablet to your computer and copy over the Bodhi .img file
- Rename your rootfs.img file to something else (as a back-up) or just delete it, then rename the bodhi .img file to rootfs.img
- Exit usb mode by pressing the power button on your device, then the recovery mode by pressing the power button again.
- On the next boot hold both the down and up volume buttons to boot into Bodhi.
does bluetooth or usb keyboard/mouse works out of the box? curious because today kids smashed the digitizer so now I can't enter anything within android, and already installed some French Debian image some time ago did not have bluetooth working out of the box...
ReplyDeletethanks in advance for letting me know
cheers
I had the device stolen last year, hence my lack of posts. Anyway, I do believe bluetooth was working; but just extremely hard to enable using the touch screen.
ReplyDeleteDespite being an alpha, Bodhi linux on the archos 101it is very good. Since I couldn't install the image from the link above, I have uploaded the file here:
