MeeGo 1.1 for NexusOne status part2 and how to work(Using microSD and No fastboot! You can also dualboot both of MeeGo and Android).

Sun, 07 Nov 2010 02:49:00 +0900

As you see, Here is about MeeGo 1.1 can boot on NexusOne from microSD via fastboot.

Part1: http://blog.mitsutaka.org/2010/11/meego-11-for-nexusone-status-and-how-to.html

As I referred at LinuxCon Japan, Next step is standalone boot. So it’s complete replacement. Android => MeeGo. BTW, The slide of LinuxCon Japan is the following.

Warning: APPLY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I replaced boot.img the Android to MeeGo. But boot partition(/dev/mtdblock2) is too small. This block only can write data about 2.5MB. So It can’t put fully rootfs or intelligent initrd. then boot.img(recover.img) is required zImage and initrd. But zImage only booting has already been proven. So It’s ok that we prepare zImage and empty initrd.

Updated on 20101107(kernel build, kickstart file, dialer screenshot, fdisk /dev/mmcblk0)

Part2. Single boot: http://blog.mitsutaka.org/2010/11/meego-11-for-nexusone-status-part2-and.html

As you know, MeeGo could be worked on the NexusOne. It was v1.1 development release that time. Then I tried if MeeGo 1.1 final release could work on it. Of course, It could be work. and We’ve made it more responsive to running.

LinuxCon Japan 2010 my summary and review

Tue, 05 Oct 2010 01:08:00 +0900

LinuxCon Japan is the premiere Linux conference in Asia. Attending many core open source developers, kernel hackers, administrators, users and so on. It’s an important opportunity for open source contributors. So this is my summary and review.

About my session. It’s my first time presentation in English. Actually I had prepared three months. First, I’m not a native speaker. don’t speak English well. So it needed. Second, My presentation was a plan to port the MeeGo to a device. When I sent a CFP, I didn’t have anything. It was challenge. Then result was so good. MeeGo could work on the NexusOne. I was able to communicate this possibility. Of course, this plan has many issues.

Fri, 02 Jul 2010 10:03:00 +0900

Yesteaday, LInuxCon Japan was published session schedule by The Linux Foundation

http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon-japan/schedule

Actually, I posted CFP(Call For Partitipation). Making a presentation in English, That’s one of the my goal. I got a chance:)

My session is “Porting MeeGo to another devices”. MeeGo is supported Netbooks, Nokia N900 smartphone now. MeeGo is released arm and x86 binaries. This is an opportunity that can use and support many devices. I’m sure we can do it. Also I have already ported ubuntu lucid to Nexus One.MeeGo probably work well.
