Tiny qemu arm system with a DirectFB interface - Free Electrons
Make sure the qemu emulator is installed on your GNU/Linux distribution. The demo works with qemu 0.8.2 and beyond, but it may also work with earlier versions. That’s a qemu issue (qemu used the SDL library). Check that you can start graphical applications from your terminal (try xeyes or xterm for example). You may also need to check that you have name servers listed in /etc/resolv.conf . Anyway, you will find solutions for this issue on the Internet.

Ubuntu 6.10 was used because it was the first Ubuntu version with Xen support. In earlier Ubuntu versions (in particular 6.06 LTS), you have to install Xen from sources, and do manual C library tweaks (for TLS support issues). The advantage of packages is that you can easily know about and deploy security updates! Another reason for using version 6.10 is that it uses the Linux kernel version supported by the latest Xen version (3.0.3 when we installed it). With Ubuntu 6.06, we would have needed to upgrade the kernel version, or to use an earlier Xen version. Kernel configuration files are provided for the Via C7 based Dedibox servers available in France.
