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 provided through a Nokia repository.

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)
  • xorg-x11-proto-xsp
  • glibc patched/built for ARMv6+VFP

Milestones

Current: Approaching M0

M0: Foundation

  • User story: Boot into XFCE4 on N810 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/load 2.6.33 kernel, System on external MMC.

Requirements:

  • Build environment:
    • ARMv6+VFP build of glibc and prjconf for building towards it (done)
  • Kernel 2.6.33.2 with N810 patches + packaging, following Trunk MeeGo kernel. Hardware/kernel support needed:
    • external MMC support (internal is broken)
    • USB mass storage, ethernet/g_nokia
    • Touchscreen, display, backlight
    • Keyboard, wifi
    • JFFS2 and ext3
  • Image:
    • Scripts running DSME and BME from initfs to enable charging
      • We have some in old Mer port, I think.
    • Xkeyboard-config patches for RX-44 keyboard
    • Xomap packaged and providing a X server (done)
    • Watchdog config files in style with http://atorkhov.fedorapeople.org/n900_wd-1-1.noarch.rpm for retu-wd and omap-wd (done)
    • XFCE4 system
  • Deployment:
    • Kickstart file to tie it all together.
    • SD card deployment, ext3 partition + swap. dd if=file.img bs=1M of=/dev/sdcard
