Latest Version
New Casper Cartridge (newer than Ver.3) is ready now.
Access the page from this link.
Abstract
A very large "casper-rw" file will be the root partition on Ubuntu linux.
(This is not actually right description; you need to learn unified file system or aufs by yourself.)
We call this casper-rw "Casper cartridge file".
By replacing this casper-rw, you can switch to a new environment very easily.
[Advantage]
- It runs directly on hardware, that's different from other virtual PCs.
- You can swear all the software including OS, device drivers, libraries are all included.
- You do not need to install any additional software.
- No guest PC, no host PC, no host-side software.
- It is really easy to change hardwares; just carry the USB memory stick to new PC.
- You can make perfect back-up by copying casper-rw to somewhere.
[Disadvantage]
- You need to be careful for preventing any harmful software/virus in casper cartridge.
(I prepare md5 checksum for that purpose.)
- You need one USB memory stick to invoke one PC.
- You may need to change BIOS setup to boot the PC from USB memory stick.
(If you find a boot-menu on BIOS screen, it is rather easy.)
- Currently only Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS is available.
(I hope you can contribute to this project...)
Requirement
You need to make a memory stick bootable for Ubuntu 10.04.1 desktop environment.
Please visit
this page
to prepare a USB memory stick.
(You need to do this process only once per USB memory stick.)
Replacing Casper Cartridges
Select one casper cartridge file from the list below.
Rename the downloaded file to "casper-rw" and copy it to the USB memory stick.
It takes time to copy it because of its size, be patient.
(You can do this task on Windows. Of course, you can do it on Linux too)
Casper Cartridge List (3GB)
Each zipped casper-rw file may be 0.5GB - 0.7GB.
Be patient for downloading them.
After you extract the original file, it should be 3GB (all same size).
You can use this cartridge for 4GB USB memory stick, but you can use this to larger USB memory stick, of course (8GB, ...).

Ver.3.4-esys: For students of Engineering Systems Department, University of Tsukuba
- THIS IS FOR JAPANESE ENVIRONMENT!
Based on Ver.3.3J.
Roll back Eclipse to 3.2 to meet the config of ESYS computers in Building-L.
It also includes some course materials.
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Japanese Remix Desktop (x86/32bit)
- OpenCV-2.1.0 with SURF bug-fix
- libgl1-mesa-dev, freeglut3-dev, ... (OpenGL development)
- Eclipse 3.2 + C/C++, with Japanese Language Plug-ins
- ARToolKit 2.72.1
- Parallel Tracking and Mapping (PTAM) r114 with OpenCV patch
-
Ver.3.3: For researchers of Computer Vision, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, or whatever
- Install Eclipse, ARToolKit, and PTAM on the Ver.1.1E environment.
It should be useful for CV/AR/MR researchers.
- Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Desktop (x86/32bit)
- OpenCV-2.1.0 with SURF bug-fix
- libgl1-mesa-dev, freeglut3-dev, ... (OpenGL development)
- Eclipse 3.6.1 + C/C++
- ARToolKit 2.72.1
- Parallel Tracking and Mapping (PTAM) r114 with OpenCV patch
-
Ver.1.1: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Desktop and OpenCV
- Install OpenCV 2.1.0 on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Desktop, plus many sample programs already compiled from souces.
(Ref)
- Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Desktip (x86/32bit)
- OpenCV-2.1.0 with SURF bug-fixe
Casper Cartridge List (256MB)
This is designed for 1GB USB memory stick.
Since CD image takes 700MB, casper-rw could be 256MB at most.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to build OpenCV on Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS within this size
Extracted file size should be 256MB.
You can use this not only for 1GB, but also for larger ones (2GB, 4GB, ...)
-
Ver.1.0E: Just empty
- Nothing there, same as default (except for clock setup).
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop Japanese Remix (x86/32bit)
