Nokia N8x0 hardware adaptation

This is a 'skunkworks' project (ie, not official MeeGo project!) by the maemo.org community and others to bring MeeGo to Nokia N8x0, hence not a vendor-pushed hardware adaptation. Initially focus will be on Nokia N810. Some additional work to add support for ARMv6+VFP is also included in this. Possibility may exist to have some closed source binaries provides through a Nokia repository.

Collaboration spaces

• #meego-arm on irc.freenode.net
• meego-dev@meego.com mailing list, prefix with 'N8x0'
• home:cvm:n8x0 on MeeGo OBS

Assets in hardware adaptation

• kernel 2.6.33.2 + patch for Nokia N810 (needs fixing)
• tslib
• xomap (Kdrive X server for OMAP, accelerated 2d, etc) (needs to have X -> Xomap -mouse tslib -noreset -wr -dpi 96 -nolisten tcp and making it setuid?)
• xorg-x11-proto-xsp
• glibc and qt patched/built for ARMv6+VFP

Assets to be integrated / Tasks

• Move ARMv6+VFP specific builds to home:cvm:armv6vfp and build :n8x0 against this instead.
• Fix 2.6.33.2 kernel package to build with current Trunk
• Seperate out kernel patches instead of a big N810 patch
• MBX chip kernel driver for 2.6.33 integration
• RPM version of BME, DSME, libcal for N8x0 (closed source), or calls to initfs initially
• Wifi, bluetooth firmware (closed soure), or symlinks to initfs initially
• Watchdog config files in style with http://atorkhov.fedorapeople.org/n900_wd-1-1.noarch.rpm for retu-wd and omap-wd

Milestones

Current: Approaching M0

M0: Foundation

• User story: Boot into X terminal with working keyboard and touchscreen without need to enable R&D flags / disable watchdogs. X server is accelerated (ie, Xomap). Battery charging from initfs working.
• Deployment: Flash 2.6.33 kernel, rescue system in NAND (rootfs) providing MMC flashing and such. System on internal MMC or external MMC.
