Tech Specs

WebDT Pins (Numbered looking at front of cradle)

Power Connection is on the right-hand side of the cradle.

USB B connection is on left-hand side of the cradle, the two USB A connections are on the front.

Reading the table: The number to the left of the ":" is the pin number, the number to the right is the number on the usb connection number (as I numbered them).

Installing the Orbiter

- Format a USB stick. I like Gparted. Use a stick that is at least 1GB.
- Download the file.
- Uncompress it

 sudo bunzip2 webpad-gamma1.dd.bz2

- Copy the file to the stick using dd.

 sudo dd if=webpad-gamma1.dd of=/dev/sda 

 where /dev/sda is the location of your USB stick.  You can use Gparted to determine the location of your stick.

- Plug the stick into the WebDT 366 and power it on.
- A LinuxMCE splace screen should appear and the installation process will begin automatically.

Troubleshooting:
If you receive the following error:

 USB Boot Device :  MASS Storage Class [00F9h/FFh/3Fh]
 Missing operating system.
 No boot device present. Halting.

you have most likely used dd incorrectly:

   sudo dd if=webpad-gamma1.dd of=/dev/sda1

Note the addition of the "1" at the end of "/dev/sda". Be sure and use dd without this, or any other number.
