Ver.530/540: Casper Cartridge (2013 Summer)

Japanese, Casper Cartridges, kameda-lab.org (2014/01/24)

Abstract

Casper Cartridge is a USB memory stick by which you can boot a PC as live linux. You can play AR and MR programs that have been compiled on the casper cartridge.
This document describes the procedure to cook a USB memory stick to a Casper Cartridge.
Casper Cartridge Ver.5 (2013 Summer) only supports Intel 64bit (amd64) Ubuntu linux only.

[Notice]
Version 550 was scheduled to be released by Dec. 2013, but due to OpenCV (3.0.0-dev) problem that affects AR/MR programs, we are waiting for OpenCV to be revised. Sorry for the delay.


Version 5 (2013 Summer)

The Ver.5XY means that X shows the catgory and Y shows the update.
When you see different X, it does not mean "larger, better".
When you see different Y, please take larger one.

Change Log
casper-rw for Ver.530/8GB has shrinked (to fit some "small" 8GB memory stick).

*1:
300 MB will be spent if you install Nvidia driver.

*2:
Casper-rw could be set from 0MB to 4089MB. You need 16GB to set 4089MB.
Clean 4089MB casper-rw can be obtained here: zip:150,656 bytes, md5)
On making casper-rw of your preferred size, do not excess the ranges on setting the size of persistent file at UUI.

*3:
You can run ver.530* on a non-Nvidia PC, but CUDA programs cannot be executable.
You cannot activate Nvidia Optimus by any Casper Cartridge (Intel i915 driver comes up).

Old (and other) versions could be accesible this link.
