<p>Stenniswod: Inconsistencies in the Documentation</p> <hr /> <div><br /> Why so many inconsistencies??<br /> <br /> My Overo does not work the way the instructions are worded at all. Let me list some of the items which don't work as instructed on the Gumstix website:<br /> <br /> A) There is no &quot;/dev/sde1&quot; microSD card. My Overo names it &quot;/dev/mmcblk0&quot;. This is the default name after i bought it. I did not modify it in anyway. A big source of confusion.<br /> <br /> B) &quot;apt-get&quot; is an unrecognized command on my Overo.<br /> <br /> C) The instructions say &quot;Android in Four Commands&quot; - yet &quot;git&quot; is an unrecognized command. Is there a prerequisite to the four commands? Why didn't mine come with &quot;git&quot;? <br /> <br /> D) &quot;opkg update&quot; fails to download anything because it can't find the repositories. Why does the default refer to &quot;unstable gumstix&quot; paths anyway?!!<br /> <br /> E) I can only assume these problems exist because I received an old image in the NAND. However these are instructions for upgrading the image. How can we get off the starting block?!<br /> <br /> Gumstix looks like a good product, however these are serious problems. The community will only benefit and flourish when the are resolved. Or did I get a bum Gumstix? Unfortunately there is no phone number of anyone to talk to readily available. I have to say poor customer support for Gumstix.<br /> <br /> Please help!<br /> Steve</div>
