1. Download Meego kernel for N900
# git clone http://git.gitorious.org/meego-device-adaptation/n900_kernel.git n900_kernel
or use http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-device-adaptation/n900_kernel/archive-tarball/master to download manually
2. Compiling Meego Kernel
Execute following commands in command prompt
# export ARCH=arm # export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
Note: You should have arm tool chain in your host machine
Enabling CAIF Protocol support for ST Ericsson Modems (or do whatever changes you need for the kernel)
# make omap2plus_defconfig # make menuconfig ( Note: select caif protocol support in Networking and driver sections)
Do kernel modifications here!
# make zImage # make modules # make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=$path to install modules
Finally kernel images available @ $Meego_kernel_source/arch/arm/boot/zImage
3. Copy modules to N900 device ( Note: Already device should have meego os)
Note: connect device with host via usb cable before executing this command
4. Loading Compiled Meego kernel
Download flasher from http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php?f=maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.tar.gz
Load Kernel using
# sudo ./flasher-3.5 -l -k $Meego_kernel_source/arch/arm/boot/zImage -b
Note: Before executing this command,please power off the device.
Now connect USB cable with device. You will see Meego home screen after 2 or 3 minutes
