Debian Wheezy chroot on WDTV Live Gen3 (Model number: WDBGXT0000NBK)

gistfile1.txt

The WD TV Live Streaming uses "a Sigma Designs SMP8670AD 700 MHz processor
with 512MB of DDR2 memory from Nanya" (wikipedia.org).
The CPU uses a MIPS instruction set, supported by debian-mipsel
(little-endian according to http://files.dune-hd.com/partners/sdk/dune_devel_info.txt)

Our directory with Debian needs to be "hidden" to prevent mt-daapd from continuously scanning it.

Make minimal Debian installation
  apt-get install debootstrap
  mkdir .wdtv_gen3_debian7
  debootstrap --arch mips --foreign wheezy .wdtv_gen3_debian7

  *Reattach USB storage
  cp -av .wdtv_gen3_debian7 /media/usb_thumb_drive/.wdtv_gen3_debian7
  umount /media/usb_thum_drive

Setup Debian environment on WD TV
  cd /tmp/media/usb/usb_thumb_drive/
