Starting a new project

The Tekkotsu 3.0 framework resides in /usr/local/Tekkotsu.
To start a project
cp -r /usr/local/Tekkotsu/project ~/
This will create a project directory in your home directory.

Setting the wireless settings

Initially you'll need to copy the wlandflt.txt attachment into your project/ms/open-r/system/conf directory and modify the hostname from aibota to the name of you aibo and ip address from the following list. The name of your aibo is the name on your locker.
Download this file, modify it, and copy it to project/ms/open-r/system/conf directory.

Compiling a stick

Then run the following commands in your project directory.
make newstick MEMSTICK_ROOT=/media/disk
make install MEMSTICK_ROOT=/media/disk
Then on subsequent updates run
make update MEMSTICK_ROOT=/media/disk
