Gaap/homen3 asked me on IRC today how to try Maemo/Mer on gen7.
Well we looked it up.
It was straight forward.
And to our surprise it boots and works¹.
¹= for values of works, the boot process looks psychedelic and a lot of things don't work properly of course, but the main GUI does work.
Want haz image for tryz?
Want see moviz of itz?
Basically:
- You take: http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.16/mer-armel-smartq5-rootfs-v0.16.tar.gz
- Throw that into an 500M+ ext3 image.
- For good measure throw in some parts of the original Archos SDE image.
- Modify menu.lst (the image needs /sbin/init)
- ...
- profit!
Just before everyone starts to demand things.
This was just for fun! If someone seriously wants that as an working image THEY have to do it. Contact openAOS for help, but we won't do it!
Thanks to Gaap, spz0, nokia50 and everyone else for helping!
PS: currently wifi is not really working. I might get the image updated to work but you will have to add your wlanconf.nvs to /root/wlanconf.nvs in that image for wifi to work. (this file contains device specific calibration data!)
