   06. Make sure the Ouya is connected to a display via HDMI
   07. Power on the Ouya
   08. After a few seconds you should hear Windows chime that a new device has been detected
   09. Right click Start ≫ Device Manager

   17. Windows should find the correct driver for the Ouya and install it
   18. Navigate to the i12bretro_OUYA_Ubuntu_commands in windows explorer
   19. Right click i12bretro_OUYA_Ubuntu_commands.bat ≫ Run as administrator
   20. The script uses the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to boot the Ouya into recovery
   21. When the command prompts to "-- Setup the fastboot driver", go back to Device Manager expand Android Device
   22. Right click Android Bootloader Device ≫ Update Driver
   23. Select Browse my computer for driver software

   29. Press Enter at the command prompt once the driver is installed to continue
   30. The script will run another ADB command to push a custom zImage kernel to the Ouya
   31. The Ouya should boot Ubuntu 12.04 from the USB
   32. Default logins are as follows:
         root/123456
         developer/ouya
 
Configure Ubuntu
   01. Change the root and developer passwords by running the commands below, replacing the passwords with something secure
         sudo passwd developer
         sudo passwd root
   02. Configure wireless networking by modifying /etc/network/interfaces
   03. To return to the Ouya OS simply reboot from the Ubuntu interface
 
There are instructions included in the Ubuntu download to dual boot the Ouya with Ubuntu and Android. I did not test this option, but beware the dual boot option has the potential to brick your device. The fastboot option demonstrated in the video poses very little risk to your console.
