Thank you all!

You can see it running on N810 with Mamona(video and pictures below).

Patches available on my development branch.

Some pictures available HERE.

Patches to mamona.git available HERE or you can clone my devel branch.

We’re working with Qt Kinetic at INdT. Mamona, as our platform, should support it. 

Question: Do you want to test on your device?

Answer: You can follow this tutorial HERE.

Main difference to beta 2:

  * Infoshare feature does not need Pidgin anymore
  * Carman supports up to 4 connected buddies
  * Jabber/MSN/Yahoo are the supported protocols
  * Infoshare daemon: infosharingd handles all communication between Carman
    and libpurple, using DBus.
  * A lot of improvements in carman-evas code

Thanks Carman team !

Nice days at Porto de Galinhas with good presentations and a great opportunity to share open source experiences. That was Bossa Conference 2009!

You can see some presentations posted by Bossa guys and great pictures posted at Marcelo’s flickr.

I’m still waiting for new posts at http://openbossa.blip.tv/ with presentations from Koen, Kate and Barbieri.

We (Mamona Team) updated the Mamona SDK tutorial including Xephyr. Now you’re able to execute Enlightenment from your Mamona rootfs using qemu-arm and Xephyr like Maemo.

Developers interested in Mamona, please report what do you want from Mamona !

Your opinion is important to improve our environment!

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!!

Now you will ask me : How?

The answer is below:

1 – Move your Maemo to the MMC internal

* Advantage : you will have more space.

Steps:  http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowTo_EASILY_Boot_From_MMC_card/

Now you have the Maemo in the internal MMC.

2 -  Flash Mamona in your flash memory

* Advantage: Nowadays Mamona distro is good for developers.

Steps:  http://dev.openbossa.org/trac/mamona/wiki/Releases/0.1/RunningMamona

3 – Debian XFCE in external MMC

* Advantage:  Debian rocks !!

You should partition your MicroSD in 2 parts:

- partition 1 – 100MB – fat32

- partition 2 – ALL THE REST – ext2

Download the Debian rootfs

wget  http://debian.i2c3.com/debian-armel-n800-xfce-beta3.tar.bz2

Untar the Debian rootfs in the second partition:

tar -xvjf  debian-armel-n800-xfce-beta3.tar.bz2

Boot using your external MMC.

That’s 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
