Script to install Cell SDK 3.1 in Fedora 12 (ppc) on Playstation 3 (OtherOS)
- Before running ps3-cellsdk-install.sh make sure your standard yum repos (Fedora 12 and Fedora 12 Updates) are properly configured and working
- SCRIPT ASSUMES STANDARD FEDORA 12 (ppc) YUM REPOS ARE FUNCTIONING AND INSTALLS SOME PACKAGES FROM THEM
- If your Fedora 12 repos are NOT set up, clone my other github repo ps3-goodrepos and run that script first
- Before installing the Cell SDK you should set up and activate your spu file system - instructions follow
- Create a directory for mounting of SPU file system:
sudo mkdir /spu - Add this line to your /etc/fstab file:
spufs /spu spufs defaults 0 0 - Remount all fstab entries:
sudo mount -a
- Clone repo:
git clone https://github.com/ModelCitizenPS3/ps3-cellsdk-install.git - Copy repo dir ps3-cellsdk-install to Fedora 12 (ppc) installation on Playstation 3 (OtherOS) - home directory is fine
- Enter repo dir:
cd ps3-cellsdk-install/ - Run script with root privileges:
sudo ./ps3-cellsdk-install.sh - Reboot PS3 (a new service got installed - elfspe2 - allows you to run SPU programs from command prompt)
- Look in
/optfor (most) Cell SDK content - happy SPUing
This version of the Cell SDK (3.1) was designed for installation on an earlier Fedora/RHEL release, but it works fine in Fedora 12 (ppc) with no headaches. The default Cell SDK install script contained in package cell-install-3.1.0-0.0.noarch.rpm from the Cell SDK 3.1 install repositories (hosted at ps3linux.net/cellsdk-repos) uses yum to install sets of packages from the Cell SDK repos but is wonky in Fedora 12. My script ps3-cellsdk-install.sh does the same thing and was developed using the Cell SDK 3.1 install documentation (and my own experience using the SDK on the PS3).
The online Cell SDK repos used by this script are hosted by myself on my own jailbroke Playstation 3 Linux web server: ps3linux.net. Yes, I bought my PS3 its own domain... and its up 24/7... you're welcome :-)
If online Cell SDK repos are down/unreachable I'm probably just using my PS3 for gaming (can't run Apache in GameOS) - sorry! Try running script again later.
