The bug has been closed and the fix is in Jessie however I'm not too pleased about the solution so I won't be adding FSO to the list of default installed packages just yet and I certainly won't be installing it any time soon.

I've expressed my concerns here.

@wicket

Can you please add if statement for wheezy to add backports repository into install_debian.sh, since ti-wireless-firmware available only in backports.

I've not tested Wheezy but if you can confirm that this is the only thing that's broken I'll add it.

Not only but others are minor and can be specified as comment at debian.conf

Others:

0xFFFF not available at wheezy
xinput-calibrator not available at wheezy
xserver-xorg-video-omap not available at wheezy but there is xserver-xorg-video-omap3

I thought that was the case. Given that Jessie is now frozen and will soon become the stable release, I'm quite reluctant to add clutter to the script just so that it work with Wheezy.

I must remove card for fixing filesystem. And because device is not shutting down it needs also battery removal every time.

Sorry, that was my fault. I had the root fs pass number set to '0' in the fstab file. It's now fixed in Git.

Hi!

First of all want say thank you all for your hard work!

I want to share the experience of the assembly system using these scripts.

Host system: Ubuntu 14.04 32bit.
Configuration files are left unchanged.

1. build_kernel.sh
Kernel build will fail (circular dependency between libphy and of_mdio).
Solved the problem with a patch.

2. install_debian.sh
The first installation of the system also failed. As it turned out the problem was established scratchbox. Later, repeated the installation on another computer using the same operating system without scretchbox, is making progress, but met another problem. To solve this problem need to disable automatic mounting of the card reader and mount the card manually.

3. configure_u-boot.sh
Here, everything went without problems.

Finally managed to run the system on N900 :)

I hope it will help others avoid similar problems.

Those scripts are amazing ! thanks !

For some reason i had to change de mirror in the debian.conf

Code:

# The mirror to be used by qemu-debootstrap(1) and in sources.list(5)
#MIRROR=http://http.debian.net/debian/
MIRROR=http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/debian/

EDIT: Its running now.

Depending on your location some mirrors will be faster than others and some might even have an unstable connnection.

For example I come from Germany (Berlin region), so ftp.de.debian.org should be best in my case. But in fact ftp.cz.debian.org is usually faster and more stable for me.

So if you live closer to New York than to Indianapolis (that's where debian.org is registered) in terms of server hops, usually also but not necessarily geographically chosing the Columbia University mirror would make sense.

wicket: any updates lately?

I've been working on packaging some of the Nemo components (mce/mce-dev, dsme/libdsme, ngfd/libngf, cor, tut, oneshot, statefs) currently only on amd64 to see what is what. Currently I'm removing 'bashisms' from statefs preventing it from starting using Dash. Next is either going to be a test on an arm VM or a Pi2 unless I can find a decent working N900 as I can't risk it on daily device at the moment. The lack of /dev/watchdog prevents some of these from running.
