Do you know the hardware specifications (CPU model etc)?

It works with a modified version of Maemo 2008
Maemo was never available for licensing to third parties. At best it contains code also used in Maemo (eg hildon libs), but it may also be something entirely different (perhaps not even Linux) that just looks a bit similar.

That's why I would like to "flash" it : remove the OS and install real Maemo instead, or at least allow installing packages.
The only available OS2008 images are for the Nokia N800, N810 & N810WE[1]. Even if the EB60 is using the same SoC, it's extremely unlikely it will even boot with one of those.


[1] and the 770 if you count the "hacker edition"
