Nexus S (Samsung Hummingbird + SGX 540)
So, I have a barebones version of MeeGo (barely) running on the Nexus S. I can't really do much with it on my own, but I'm posting the info here so you can build it and try it for yourself.
What works
- ADB root shell
- X11 & UI apps
What doesn't work
- Touchscreen
- Super-AMOLED brightness control (screen looks near pitch black)
- WiFi
- Anything else :-P
Build
- Use the procedure here to generate an ext2 image, and copy it to linux/rootfs.ext2 on the internal memory of the Nexus S. http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/Meego_on_Beagleboard_from_scratch#Build_the_rootfs
I have my boot.img (kernel + ramdisk) and a MeeGo kickstart file at http://blog.steventroughtonsmith.com/2011/01/nexus-s-meego.html; you can use fastboot to boot the image, or flash it to the recovery partition to dual boot. The actual MeeGo rootfs is run from a rootfs.ext2 file you can drop onto the Nexus S using Mass Storage mode - no need for messy flashing or the like, you can thank me later).
There's not much else I can do on my own right now, so if you want to see anything become of this do get involved!
Kernel
My kernel is Samsung stock; you will need to modify it to get X11 to run:
- git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/samsung.git
- make herring_defconfig
The only change was modifying the .config file to turn on CONFIG_VT (needed for X11, unless we recompile X11 without VT support).
Go nuts!
