My interest in the Nexus 5 piqued when I found out that someone got calls working on it with mainline Linux shortly after Droid 4 calls started working (probably no coincidence that both devices use an MSM modem). The Nexus 5 is one of the devices that has reasonably mature mainline Linux support which makes it a great target for Maemo Leste. I haven't really done anything with mine yet other than boot the test image
found here
. The display comes up and USB networking works which is a great starting point for porting Leste so I don't envisage any huge difficulties in getting something basic up and running. I'm looking forward to trying video acceleration which should automatically work out-of-the-box thanks to Freedreno/Mesa. The Nexus 5 port isn't my immediate priority but I'll try to get to it soon.
Has anyone tried the N9 port yet? I'd love to get some feedback.
