PmM is the name of a configuration for Mele.

Made in perl/dialog.
It is currently a part of the lastest ubuntu/debian image made available here:
mele-ubuntu-12-10-armhf-base-with-nand-install-v1
mele-debian-wheezy-armhf-base-with-nand-install-v1

You can download it separately:
pimpmymele-0.1.tgz
ddfd0be76ab4d29f11c581d7b4edc91f pimpmymele-0.1.tgz

The goal is quite simple: Ease the process of configuring graphics/mac address/nand install/led blink.

You can choose to:

  • install on NAND the image and boot from it
  • change the graphic mode with the menu
  • change the mac address
  • blink the led red/blue with timing after the boot (really crucial feature)

In dialog mode (terminal):

The menu:

Mali GFX output:

Led blinking on boot:
Pimp my Mele – photo 3

Mac address:
