Procedures:
Downloaded stable Stratux release:
https://github.com/cyoung/stratux/releases/download/v0.4r4/stratux-v0.4r4-293d0e74a8-10222015.img.zip

I use Linux, so after downloading, I extracted the image and then wrote it to the 8GB microSD card that came included with the Canakit.

sudo dd -if=\locationofimage\stratux...img of=\dev\mmcxblk0

Next I assembled the kit, inserted microSD, plugged in the WiFi dongle included with the Canakit, the DVB-T usb dongle and powered it up.

No WiFi AP showed up...uh-oh
Turns out the Canakit WiFi dongle isn't compatible with Stratux out of the box.

No Problem...
