I've started a wiki page for the hardware adaptation:

http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N8x0

Now, I've set up a fairly nice M0 milestone. Now, would you users help set up M1, M2, M3? Come up with ideas on what should realistically work in those milestones. Please focus on hardware support and possibly interfacing/interfaces.

Provide in form of a user story, ideally.

Added myself as this interests me obviously. I hope to contribute as the stack matures a bit more.

I'd say a useful M1 would be to get all other sensors (wifi, GPS) working: Boots, can connect to the outside world and find where it is in the world.

Interface isn't quite as crucial as something like xfce can be used as an interim until whatever interface meego handset will end up with can be evaluated, so that might be an M2, or M3?

impressive the n8x0 adaptation project!

Looking through the meego wiki howhever, i couldīnt found any link to your page or any cittation of any kind even on ARMīs page.
Maybe the admin folks at this wiki or anyone ho have the rights to change the pages would do this little thing to make the project more visible.

+1 for WiFi. Also, mic, sound, all hw buttons, and D-pad.

I'm not sure exactly what kind of comments are being solicited, but I'll say a few things about project goals. Let's concentrate on getting everything working before trying to make the N8x0 compare more favorably to other handhelds or to do "interesting" things. Let's not try to fix 3D acceleration, etc. Quite frankly, if the hw performance is not acceptable, we can just buy a new handheld. What I want is for the N8x0 to remain useful in the future on a day-to-day basis for what it does well and not try to change it.

Priorities are getting towards a level where we eventually can support a Handset UX (or MID) profile. In this, hardware support towards all the basic things comes first - ie, we need the MeeGo core function well on top of N8x0. When that is done, then drop a basic UX on top, like Xfce4. Add more interfacing with hardware / test / have that working, etc. Then put Handset or a MID UX on top, and then optimize - optionally with Qt's QGraphicsView with 3d acceleration/OpenGL. How does that sound for direction? From the moment we have a basic UX, we should be able to run Qt apps for MeeGo.

OK, except don't let "QGraphicsView with 3d acceleration/OpenGL" part slow us down.

Not going to fall for that again, agreed.

What about backporting the MeeGo packages to Diablo? Wouldn't this be both easier and more useful? I mean this approach will give you full hardware support and combined Diablo+MeeGo compatibility.

How difficult would it be to compile the MeeGo libraries on Diablo?

MeeGo is RPM based and well, Diablo isn't.

I suppose you mean Qt - the issue is that you can compile the ’base’ Qt, but we don’t have the necessary patches to utilize hardware acceleration and system integration. In other words, it would sort-of work, but it would be slow and feel very much out of place (it would be worse than Qt4.5 on Diablo as is, would feel more like you’re in Easy Debian or sorts).
