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.

Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:57:00 +0900

As you know, MeeGo 1.1 Development Release(Nightly build) has been released. I saved some log files on my N900 when it was booted by microSD.

I used in the following files.

meego-handset-armv7l-n900-nokia-proprietary-1.0.90.1.20100831.1-mmcblk0p.raw.bz2

meego-handset-armv7l-n900-nokia-proprietary-1.0.90.1.20100831.1-vmlinuz-2.6.35.3-5.2-n900

You can get this image from http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/meego-codedrop.php on which you need your N900 product ID.

BTW, N900 image can display the Handset UX. Also rotation can be worked.

Thu, 27 May 2010 18:50:00 +0900

As you know, MeeGo 1.0 has been released. Netbook has the User Experience then you can test that using image on your netbook. But N900 and IVI image has no UX. They seem to be development release in position :(

I have a time now, so I output dmesg on my N900 when it was booted by microSD and temporaly boot of kernel.

I used in the following files.

meego-n900-open-armv7l-1.0.0.20100525.1-sda.raw.bz2 ( bzcat xxx.bz2 | dd of=/dev/sdX(microSD) bs=4k)

Moblin vs Chrome OS

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 09:10:00 +0900

I compared Moblin 2.1 and Chrome OS before time.

Project page Moblin 2.1: http://moblin.org Chrome OS : http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os

Kernel Moblin 2.1: 2.6.31(-netbook, -ivi, -menlow, -mrst) Chrome OS : 2.6.31(-chromeos-intel-menlow) but It isn’t included psb driver Currently, I think this kernel is for netbooks, CULV laptops

Base distribution Moblin 2.1: Original Chrome OS : Ubuntu Karmic

Kernel parametor Moblin 2.1: vga=current quiet root=/dev/sdx (no initrd) Chrome OS : (USB) quiet console=tty2 initrd=initrd.img init/sbin/init boot-local rootwait root=LABEL=C-ROOT ro noresume noswap i915.modeset=1 loglevel=1 (HDD) quiet console=tty2 init/sbin/init boot-local rootwait root=/dev/sda ro noresume noswap i915.modeset=1 loglevel=1

フォント調整

Fri, 06 Apr 2007 09:38:00 +0900

あるアプリケーションの日本語フォントの表示が崩れたため調査。どうやらフォントが足りなかった様です。 /usr/share/fonts/ja/miscなのですが、これはxorgに依存して作成されるfonts-xorg-baseとは異なるmiscフォントです。これが足りなかったため追加。ただ追加しただけでは意味が無く、xorg.confにFontPathを追加する必要があります。このシステムはxfsを利用していないので直指定です。
