U-boot is now in extras-devel
 
Just found out that stskeeps has uploaded U-boot to the extras-devel repository:

http://maemo.org/packages/view/uboot-pr13/

A few days ago I've raw-written the MeeGo 1.1 (Release) Handset UX image to a micro SD card and I could boot into MeeGo by using the flasher -l -b -k command.

Just now I installed the U-boot successfully but it failed to boot into MeeGo. Soon I found out in this site that we will need to create an extra FAT partition, convert the MeeGo kernel file to an uImage, and then put the uImage to the newly created FAT partition in order to make it boots.

Will it be possible that we can download the "ready-made" uImage from repo.meego.com like where we download the .raw images? I suggest this because the purpose of u-boot after all is to ease the process of testing MeeGo, and the additional steps mentioned are quite troublesome for those who would like to test the daily builds frequently and for those who are using Windows as their primary OS...

interesting would nitdroid will use it too, or can we boot meego using multi-boot as we use in nitdroid

Just installed, and succeeded to boot my Meego 1.1 of my micro sd class 10 card.

The wiki page is now up

I approve. I was hoping we could also flash to a UBoot attached to power kernel version, just to skip the stock kernel completely, but can't beat the convenience of something this simple. Plus, now that this has happened, you can probably stick Titan's kernel somewhere else, and boot into that when you want to - and then possibly figure out how to do that by default.

Is there any way to make uboot change default kernel to boot from? (If yes, but it's in some uboot documentation somewhere, and that documentation applies to this N900 port, feel free to just pont me to that. I don't mind learning on my own if I have any idea as to where to look.)

I wrote the image on the SD and installed uboot but after the time out it still loads to maemo. I think I get en error from sd. What can I do?

Nothing stops you from making a uboot-powerkernel version, just follow the from-scratch u-boot instructions and upload the package..

done it on windows. it was quite painless!
MeeGo boot took some time.
It is slow but i like it

@stskeeps

is it necessary to use the meego image from here
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/meego-codedrop.php

or we can safely use the image located here
http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases...cblk0p.raw.bz2

as I can see from the filename the date of the image from codedrop is november 1 while on the meego repo its october 26... Just wanna ask if there's any difference since I already have the one from the meego repo. Thanks!

The one on codedrop has a kernel on a FAT partition in uImage format in the end of it. We're working to have the weekly images with that as well.
