Is anybody working on porting BackTrack5 on Udoo?

Either Android or Ubuntu version of BackTrack5 R3?

Just wondering since I don't have the hardware yet to play with it.

 

Not heard anyone mention it.

I see BackTrack5 vanilla (IE not R1, R2 or R3) is available for ARM. Not very encouraging that R1-3 doesn't have ARM support... indicates they dropped that some time ago, perhaps ran into problems? Worth checking their forums for this and discover the background to that decision.

Although this is an Open Source GPL'd project, I don't see the source code.

Caveat: I spent 30 seconds looking at their site. If you have the source code, you can just compile it yourself.

 

Probably makes more sense to put effort into testing Kali Linux since Backtrack is really not being supported anymore and Kali does have support for ARM.

You are correct. It makes more sense to use Kali now.

Although I was a long time BackTrack user (inactive for more than a year), I must have missed something in-between. Kali is the successor to BackTrack and even it uses the same logo as the old BackTrack's.

I will have to play with Kali once I receive my Udoo.

 

First things first, i don't speak English so i'll do my best

I've ported Kali to my Udoo Quad, on a 320gb sata hdd, i've been trying since i got udoo on my hands, but yesterday, finally, i've made a good install but there are some things left to do like installing vivante modules and so, i don't have much free time to do this, so maybe i'll share with all of you the image so you can continue my work.

 

Great, many thanks Wally

 

Wally88,

Did you, by chance, upload the Kali image for Udoo to somewher? If you don't mind, could you make it available for us to download? I have tried to build the Kali image on my Udoo last night unsuccessfully and I was thinking about trying it again tonight.

Thanks.

 

Better yet, if you could publish the steps you went through to install Kali Linux on Udoo, I can at least compare yours with mine to see what I was doing wrong.

Thanks.

 

Hello,

Wally88,
Yes please post how to do this.
While it would be nice to have an image available, I'd also like to know how to perform the steps to build this.
Thanks!

 

Hi all, sorry for make you wait, i'll upload the image in a few hours, i'm at work right now.

The image it's made for armhf, almost everything it's working, even analog and hdmi audio, but there is software graphics only, i can't make Vivante work yet.
I'll write a simple guide for you to make your own Kali for UDOO too.

Again, sorry for my bad english

 

Thanks Wally

Don't worry about the Vivante at this stage, I'm confident that others can assist there in the coming weeks.

 

Hi,

Which is the xorg version of your kali?

I could help you to install Vivante acceleration

 

To make it simple and easier, create the image from a Kali or Debian base system with armhf or armel (depends on what you want) you only need debootstrap installed on that base system. (yes, i done the entire system from UDOO)

If it isn't installed run:

Code:

apt-get install debootstrap

Create base system, add kernel and modules

Code:

cd /root
mkdir kali
debootstrap --arch=armhf kali /root/kali/ http://http.kali.org/kali
cd kali/boot
wget http://udoo.org/download/files/UDOO_Unico/Kernel/uImage
cd ..
wget http://udoo.org/download/files/UDOO_Unico/Kernel/modules.tar.gz
tar xvzf modules.tar.gz
rm modules.tar.gz

Some modifications:

Code:

nano etc/network/interfaces

At the end of the file, add:

Code:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

add dns servers

Code:

nano etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

Code:

nano etc/hosts

and here you've to add this line after the first one

Code:

127.0.1.1 Kali

Set hostname:

Code:

echo 'Kali' > etc/hostname

Add repos:

Code:

nano etc/apt/sources.list

Code:

deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free

Set root password:

Code:

cd ..
chroot kali
passwd root --> what you want, i use "toor"

exit

To get serial console

Code:

cd kali
nano etc/inittab

At the end of the file add:

Code:

T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttymxc3 115200 vt100

And with that you can already boot the system

Once inside:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install firmware-ralink wpasupplicant ntp openssh-server
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata (to correct timezone)
/etc/init.d/ntp restart
update-rc.d ssh enable

And here it's the most important and simplier command:

Code:

tasksel (here, select everything but laptop utilities)

apt-get install bluetooth kali-linux-full kali-menu (to make sure nothing it's missing)

Code:

nano /etc/network/interfaces

delete what we add earlier

Code:

reboot

and here you have a full kali linux on UDOO

It's my first guide and i write it from memory, i think it doesn't but it may have some error, if some moderator wants to make it more readable, please be my guest.

TODO: Vivante, Arduino UDOO IDE, add ext4 and ntfs support (kernel recompile)

 

Hi miousername,

maybe you could post a guide on how to get the vivante acceleration working on a armhf-system?

i know several people working on getting that to work - so it would probably help for different systems.

 

Hi, thanks!!
it's Xorg 1:7.7+3~deb7u1

By the way, glxinfo says:

but also says:

and glxgears runs at ~65 fps

 

I used a slightly different approach to create a Kali FS successfully also on Udoo last night. I will try to make it bootable tonight. and let you guys know how it goes Perhaps it would be useful to create a full installation script (bash or ksh)...

Thanks.

 

Hi!
I've tried another ways but only the one i use gives me the same as kali live dvd.
Can i ask how you do it? Please share.

Thanks!

 

Ok they are installed but serms that glxgear/glxinfo don't use openGL Vivante libraries!

Trace glxgears with :

strace -e open -f glxgears

to drbug if glxgears use the correct libraries you installed!
