These images include several FreedomBox-related projects. New image announcements can be found on the Freedombox-discuss mailing list.

Verifying downloaded image

You can validate that a downloaded image has not been altered by checking the file signature.

First, download Nick Daly's key.

$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-key D95C32042EE54FFDB25EC3489F2733F40928D23A

Then verify each file's signature.

$ gpg --verify freedombox-unstable_2012.0915_dreamplug-armel-card.img.tar.bz2.sig.sig freedombox-unstable_2012.0915_dreamplug-armel-card.img.tar.bz2.sig
$ gpg --verify freedombox-unstable_2012.0915_virtualbox-i386-hdd.vdi.tar.bz2.sig.sig freedombox-unstable_2012.0915_virtualbox-i386-hdd.vdi.tar.bz2.sig

Firmware / uboot compatibility

Depending on the revision of the hardware and/or the firmware/uboot updates made by vendors (or your own), you may have an firmware setup compatible or not with subsequent image versions.

See ?DreamPlugTesting for details on the hardware revisions and provided firmware.

Images before the 0.1 release boot smoothly on stock ?DreamPlugs from

  • ?GlobalScale ("Default" uboot).

Images on or after the 0.1 release (2012-0820) need the 2012.04.01 or

  • later version of uboot from Debian Wheezy.
