It is an attempt to create a phone with hardware keyboard. Discussion about it in this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=100554

Readyfx??

Huh...

Well if that is the case ...
And there is a growing X-mas list of obscurities...

I want a port for the Mylo and the Vic 20, Santa...

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

As long as device is supported by upstream linux, leste will just work. To the extend it works at all, ofc :)

I briefly read through the above thread and somehow was left with the impression that this device-to-be-someday will use android GPU drivers and libhybris. If that's the case (no FOSS GPU drivers or no GPU drivers that work with upstream kernel) then it doesn't really make sense to put leste on it, hildon-desktop rendering with 1-3 FPS is not something I would call a good user experience.

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

I tried to get maemo leste running on a pcduino3b. Therefore I used the rootfs from the allwinner image and compiled the lime2-linux kernel from leste git.
But I get a boot loop caused by the watchdog. On the first look it seems that the xorg-server doesn't find a screen. Is there some possibility to deactivate the watchdog?

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

I am assume you're using the right dts. Try booting with a mouse and monitor plugged in - you may be hitting this: https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/204

What branch did you use for the lime2-linux kernel? The one we ship with our latest images is not using lima (lima also might require dts changes and some .config changes that are not yet online)

In short - are you trying to get lima to work as well?

We were planning to make lima images soon, but it (lima) is still a bit unstable, so it might not very usable/clever to do so.

This device? https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/13707

EDIT: I would prefer to help debugging over IRC or over our mailing list (ML preferred), btw. I check both way more often than tmo. :)

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

At the moment there is no lvds lcd with touch installed. I connected a usb mouse, usb keyboard and a hdmi monitor.

I need to figure out what is needed to make the hdmi as default screen. I guess I need to set it in the kernel and maybe in xorg.

But for a headless setup it would be nice to stop the rebooting behaviour.


I am using linux-4.18.y branch.


I would like to help to get it running. However I need to learn basic steps first like image creation and get a feeling for maemo-leste.
I also want to use the pcduino3b as my build maschine.:o
So I don't need gpu power right now, but for sure it is nice to have.


Ok I see.


Yes exactly.


I tried IRC but I have no talking power, so I will use ML in the future.

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

Agreed. I will try to at least fix that mce problem soon.

This is just plain linux branch, without any of our patches. ;-)
You really need our .config too. Let me try to put this online soon.

The first step would be to mount the sd card/image, and do:

# mv /mnt/pcd/etc/init.d/dsme /mnt/pcd/etc/init.d/dsme_

Then the device will no longer reboot. From there you should already have network, ssh, and maybe a console on HDMI.

Please, join again. I thought there were no limitations in place anymore. Send me a message on IRC if you still can't write.

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

Hey, is there a way to run it in tty-only mode, without xorg?

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

One such way is right in the post above yours, viz.

Re: Maemo-Leste pre-alpha announcement
 

Oh, ok. It works, thanks.
Now, the question is: how to enable fn key combinations?
