Yeah, it seems like linux-omap is pretty flaky.

I'm just going to flash the damn rootfs image for now, it's lots easier to debug MMC with a real userland rather than what I can fit in <500K and send with the kernel as an initram.

Found the source of my woes!

This is going to be exciting...

UPDATE:

cherry-picked the old linux-omap menelaus.c and it works. looks like whoever ported it to mainline forgot some "little bits" like internal N810 MMC power control

bri3ed: Felipe Balbi of Nokia just posted a small bunch of patches for N8x0 to linux-omap. Something you would be interested in checking out/testing?

@Stskeeps: Haven't built yet, but N8x0 looks like just some refactors to use platform_board_infos instead of hardcoded values for i.e. GPIOs. N770 changes look more significant.

So I suspect it'll have the same issue which is that video won't come up after the switch from n800-board-xxx.c to n8x0-board.c

Hi bri3d, any news about the development? I can be a beta tester for you if you need (I have a N800).

I would be very excited to see Android 2.0 on the n8x0 - let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I have an n810, and I would be willing to do testing on it.

Are there anymore updates? I'd love to see an Android port for the N900, or even a detailed page on how to port it. I have yet to find a good tutorial on porting the Android source to these devices from scratch.

bdogg64: there's all sorts of information on porting Android - from http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/L...-a-new-device/ which talks about a non-NITDroid Nokia port of the pre-Cupcake beta source to the entire android-porting group ( http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting ), which although it has a horrible signal to noise ratio and a lot of clueless people is good for up-to-date info sometimes.

Still working (sometimes) on getting things working - updated to 2.0.1 and same deal - a dead-stock userspace sort-of works (very slowly/badly) with Solca's old kernel, and my new kernels have MMC issues and won't boot (curse linux-omap...).

I would be willing to alpha/beta as well if needed with my N800.
