A few weeks ago we got a BeagleBoard from Texas Instrument.
Thanks to Texas Instrument for this good project !!!
The answer to Mamona and BeagleBoard: when?:
Now we have Mamona working with TVOUT using this board. Nice !! 
ASAP I will post more details about this topic.
We’re proud to announce that Firefox 3 is working with Mamona. Thanks to all Mamona team, especially Eduardo Valentin.
Instruction:
Follow Mamona development tutorial replacing ” bitbake <meta-package>” for “bitbake task-mamona-sdk && bitbake task-mamona-wm && bitbake firefox”.
And you will have Firefox 3 available in your Mamona repository.
Since Friday(July 25th) we’re able to build Midori Browser based on Webkit with Mamona tools. We tested this browser with Nokia N810 and BeagleBoard.
Main steps to Build Midori:
Follow the Mamona development till Building Mamona.
Replace ” bitbake <meta-package>” for “bitbake task-mamona-sdk && bitbake task-mamona-wm && bitbake midori” at setion Building Mamona.
And Midori will be available in your Mamona repository.
That’s all!!
I’m waiting the opportunity to put my hands on a Beagleboard and test many things.
My TODO list include Mamona test with BeagleBoard.

Hi all,
I’m working with an OMAP1610 H2 and it was taking a long time to load and uncompress kernel. Eduardo recommended me some things to be done.
BE CAREFUL -
I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTS. YOU CAN MISS INFORMATION IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE STEPS CORRECTLY.
1 - Upgrade u-boot
- Install scratchbox for cross-compilation.
- Download the last version of u-boot.
- Configure and Compile u-boot
[sbox-arm: ~/applications/u-boot-1.3.0] > make omap1610h2_config && make
- Copy the new u-boot.bin to your tftpboot directory(details here)
$ cp /scratchbox/users/alecrim/home/alecrim/applications/u-boot-1.3.0/u-boot.bin /tftpboot
- Using minicom, access the current u-boot prompt and load the new u-boot
OMAP1610 H2 # tftp 0×10000000 u-boot.bin
TFTP from server 10.0.0.1; our IP address is 10.0.0.2
Filename ‘u-boot.bin’.
Load address: 0×10000000
Loading: ###################
done
Bytes transferred = 93568 (16d80 hex)
The bold number is import, save it.IT’S YOUR U-BOOT HEXADECIMAL!!
- Unlock the flash memory, erase a sector, copy the new u-boot.bin and lock the flash again.
DANGEROUS!! TAKE CARE!!DANGEROUS!! TAKE CARE!!DANGEROUS!! TAKE CARE!!DANGEROUS!! TAKE CARE!!
REPLACE THE BOLD HEXADECIMAL (16d80)!!! PUT YOUR U-BOOT HEXADECIMAL !!!
OMAP1610 H2 # protect off 00000000 0001ffff
Un-Protected 1 sectors
OMAP1610 H2 # era 00000000 0001ffff
Erasing sector 0 … done
Erased 1 sectors
OMAP1610 H2 # cp.b 0×10000000 0×00000000 0x16d80
Copy to Flash…\done
OMAP1610 H2 # protect on 00000000 0001ffff
Protected 1 sectors
OMAP1610 H2 #
Now, you can restart your board and pray for some output on your serial.

Hi all,
+
I tested SDIO GPS with a OMAP1710 and it works. Many phones and internet tablets are based on this platform. The steps below show the procedures I’ve done:
== KERNEL SIDE ==
Compile a new kernel from linux-omap with some additional features activated.
Device Drivers ---><*> MMC/SD card support --->SDIO UART/GPS class support
Boot your device with this feature.
Maemo-omap1710:~# modprobe sdio_uart
Plug your SDIO card and the message below will be printed.
mmc_slot (GPIO 193) is now openmmci-omap mmci-omap.1: cover is now closedmmci-omap mmci-omap.1: command timeout (CMD8)mmc0: new SDIO card at address f111
The entry /dev/ttySDIO0 should be created.
== USER SIDE ==
I’m using GPSd to test it. Download the last version, compile and install on my device using scratchbox.
Start the GPS daemon
Maemo-omap1710:~# gpsd -N -n -D 2 /dev/ttySDIO0 &Maemo-omap1710:~# gpsd: launching (Version 2.34)gpsd: listening on port 2947gpsd: running with effective group ID 0gpsd: running with effective user ID 0gpsd: opening GPS data source at '/dev/ttySDIO0'gpsd: speed 4800, 8N1gpsd: garmin_gps not active.gpsd: gpsd_activate(1): opened GPS (4)gpsd: SiRF packet seen when NMEA expected.gpsd: FV 0x06: Firmware version: MEW-05-00-030627Wgpsd: FV 0x06: Firmware version: 2.4.02.02 0800003f21

The filesystem used is based on Maemo.
You configured the ARM cross compiler and now you can compile your ARM kernel more fast using distcc.
Follow the instructions below.
Requirement:
After requirements:
”’You need to execute the instructions in all machines available for DISTCC_HOSTS.”’
=== ALL DISTCC_HOSTS MACHINES ===
* Directing ARM compilation to distcc
for a in /opt/cs-gcc/bin/arm-none-* ; do sudo ln -s /usr/bin/distcc `echo $a | cut -f5 -d/ | sed -e 's/none-eabi/linux/'` ; done
* Edit /etc/init.d/distcc
Change from: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11" to: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/opt/cs-gcc/bin/"
* Restart distcc service
/etc/init.d/distcc restart
* After all machines configured then you can your kernel
make ARCH=arm omap_h3_1710_defconfigmake ARCH=arm cleanmake ARCH=arm -j12
That’s all!!
Many phones are based on OMAP 1710. Search “OMAP 1710″ on google and you will find them.
The instructions below show you how you could configure a compiler for OMAP 1710 and compile a kernel using this compiler.
Instructions
Get CodeSourcery toolchain ==> arm-2005q3-2-arm-none-eabi
* On what system will your program run? ARM EABI
* On what system will you run the tools? IA32 GNU/Linux
* Download
Untar on /opt/cs-gcc
make -p /opt/cs-gcccp TOOLCHAIN_PATH/arm-2005q3-2-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 /opt/cs-gcctar -xvjf arm-2005q3-2-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
Create links from arm-none-eabi-* to arm-linux-*
cd /opt/cs-gcc/binfor a in arm-none-* ; do ln -s $a $(echo $a | sed -e 's/none-eabi/linux/') ; done
Compile your kernel
cd linux-omap-2.6 make ARCH=arm clean make ARCH=arm omap_h3_1710_defconfigmake ARCH=arm
