use http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/images/raspbian/2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian/2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian.zip

use raspi-config to:

• expand root partition to fill card
• set the amount of ram for the gpu to 16 MB

update the system:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
reboot

apt-get install git cmake g++ libsqlite3-dev (this will pull cmake-data emacsen-common git-man libcurl3-gnutls liberror-perl libxmlrpc-core-c3 rsync)

compiling hexabus on a RaspberryPi is actually possible. During the process you do need a considerable amount of RAM - virtual memory is ok. As our beloved RPi only comes along with 256 / 512 MB and you need to provide enough RAM for the peak of some 1000 MB, you should have 1 GB of swap space available. You can do so by simply inserting a usb memory stick into the RPi, create a swap partition, format and activate it:

cfdisk /dev/<your device name here> #remark: make sure you have the correct one here!
delete the existing partition (...you are going to loose all data on the stick in this step...)
create a new partition with at least 1 GB of space
set the partition type to "82"
write the results to the stick and quit cfdisk
mkswap /dev/<your device name here> (e.g.: "mkswap /dev/sda1")
