This week I got Ubuntu Karmic(ubuntu-minimal) working on N810/N800 with Linux kernel version 2.6.33. Serial, USB(g_ether) and flash memory are working fine with this version. It’s enough to use console over SSH and test some terminal applications. But it’s going to take time to get it working fully on n8x0 like linux-omap 2.6.29.

You can download images:

* linux 2.6.33 to n800/n810

* ubuntu karmic minimal image (just console over SSH)

* howto to create your own images

* patches, pkgs and etc

Some notes about Linux 2.6.33 with n8x0:

* Some corrections are necessary to get USB working.

* My kernel configuration define g_ether(USB gadget ethernet) as built-in(CONFIG_USB_ETH=y).

* initfs is not necessary. My kernel configuration changed to bootup directly by flash memory(CONFIG_CMDLINE=”root=1f04 rootfstype=jffs2 console=ttyS2,115200n8″).

* My personal linux-omap tree is available at gitorious

Some notes about ubuntu Karmic with n8x0:

* Generated using rootstock

* Correction to apt works correctly with JFFS2

* Workaround to startup USB interface(IP 10.0.1.10) automatically using udev

* Using openssh-client/server instead of dropbear(lightweight). Dropbear install fails

Finalmente estou postando o video de minha apresentação no FISL10. Alguns meses para a TV-SL liberar e mais algumas semanas até finalmentar fazer um post com o link para o video. Acho que preciso reduzir estes tempos.

PS: Já estou pensando no FISL11 !

Hi folks,

After a long time working on internal projects, we got time to work on Mamona development. The main goal is get it working on OpenEmbedded.git tree and use OE directly.

Main contributions in our patches:

* Linux-omap kernel 2.6.29 working fine N800 and N810

* N8x0 Wlan working with opensource driver(stlc45xx)

* N810 sound working with opensource driver (OMAP ASoC) and ALSA changes

* N810 with Fn key working correctly

* Xserver-kdriver-xomap – xserver-kdrive with custom changes to n8x0

* Linux-omap kernel  2.6.30 to Nokia 770 (unstable)

* Mplayer-Maemo – Mplayer with custom changes to n8x0

* Eve – Web browser based on Webkit-EFL

* Basic SDK chroot (use mamona-chroot)

* Ofono – Open Source telephony

* Antico – lightweight window manager based on Qt X11

Current development:  http://gitorious.org/mamona

I created flashable images that are available on HERE.

Platform developers can use this quick howto to build Mamona latest version.

Now it’s time to review changes and submit to Openembedded.
