WARNING: Flashing the MeeGo to your N900 will permanently erase your settings and may cause damage to your device. This image is meant for experienced developers only. We do not take any responsibility of the damage that may be caused to your device.
For the installation process you need to get the flasher tool from http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php
WARNING: With the open image the battery management is not functional so you may cause damage to your device.

Before flashing:
There are two images available, open MeeGo image and one with some closed Nokia proprietary binaries. The open MeeGo image contains only opensource components and can be downloaded from FIXME.
The image with the closed Nokia proprietary binaries will add following functionalities:
Get the open MeeGo image and also the kernel (zImage-arm-n900) from FIXME.
1. Make sure your device is turned off and the battery is fully charged.
2. Remove the battery from the device.
3. Connect the device to computer with USB cable.
4. Next start the flasher software:
sudo flasher-3.5 -f -k zImage-arm-n900 -r <meego.ubiimg>
5. Put the battery back to the device.
6. If the flasher does not recognize the device go back to step 2.
After the flashing is complete turn down the device by removing the battery and go to step 7 in case you are not using the closed Nokia binaries.
7. (Optional: For image without closed components): You need to also disable watchdogs if you are not using the closed components, especially the Battery Management Entity (BME). This can be done similarly to above, except the flasher command is following:
sudo flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-omap-wd,no-ext-wd
