MeeGo hardware adaptation for N8x0
Continuing from:

Do you have a pointer to something describing the current situation, especially what bits are still missing? and me: Any takers to start a MeeGo hardware adaptation for N8x0? and then lma: Definitely interested (though I'm not a kernel hacker), where do we start? - So, this is a thread on starting work on a hardware adaptation for Nokia N8x0. (http://meego.com/developers/hardware-enabling-process). While I doubt we can be a first quality port due to need to upstream patches, we can try things and see how far we can get. A starter is to grab the current kernel package from http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/devel/tr....1-8.2.src.rpm , modify this with Termana and luke-jr's patches. If we ask nicely, I think it should be possible to get repackaging done through my distmaster position so we can get the different firmwares, BME, etc provided through similar means (RPM repository) as tablets-dev.nokia.com does with the MeeGo on N900 things. So, we have a good start. We can probably start with the chroot images (tar.gz) for N900 as they are fairly generic and the kickstart files. |
Re: MeeGo hardware adaptation for N8x0
I can't code myself, but I have a N810 lying at home. How can I help?

Re: MeeGo hardware adaptation for N8x0
I can help out with the kernel work. Do we need to rebase everything onto the provided MeeGo kernel source?

Also, http://wiki.meego.com/Developing_in_a_Meego_Environment is a good start. I can recommend getting a Fedora VM to do this in. |
Re: MeeGo hardware adaptation for N8x0
Hey this is a neat idea.. I have a spare N810 that I can use for testing this!

What's the best strategy for dual-booting (KEXEC vs bootmenu) btw? Is there anything I can do on the Diablo community SSU side to make this easier? Quote:

Re: MeeGo hardware adaptation for N8x0
excellent!
keeping n8x0 as workhorses is a great way to show power of the platform. |
Re: MeeGo hardware adaptation for N8x0
Hm, chroot complains "FATAL: kernel too old", and LD_LIBRARY_PATH mangling results in segfaults. I guess we really do need a fresh kernel...

Re: MeeGo hardware adaptation for N8x0
i would test it on a n800 someone gave me instructions to install
