Default Re: MeeGo hardware adaptation for N8x0

So, now MeeGo 1.0 is out. This means we can actually build N810 images Keep in mind this is NOT yet M0. As in, charging does not work yet and various other issues.

Using or even testing this is at your own risk.

This is mostly to get people involved. It boots into a Xfce4 desktop. And only boots from external micro/miniSD.

Page for this is at http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N8x0 and we usually hang about #meego-arm (not for support, for development) on irc.freenode.net

I have placed the kickstart file at http://gitorious.org/meego-n8x0/imag...g/trees/master

Using MIC2 git HEAD and ARM support set up, you can do the following:

mic-image-creator -f raw -a armv5tel -c arm-n8x0.ks

This will generate a -sda.raw file and vmlinuz. -sda.raw you dd if=filename-sda.raw bs=1M of=/dev/your-sd-card and the vmlinuz file you flash or load to your N810 with flasher-3.5 -k vmlinuz -l -b

There are two repos,

http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/meego-n8x0/n8x0/

- contains the hardware adaptation packages + sources

http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/meego-n8x0/armv6vfp/

- contains glibc built for VFP.

For the really crazy people, I've uploaded a SD card image (bunzip2 and dd this to your >= 2gb microsd/minisd) and a linux 2.6.33 kernel to flash or load.
