N950 Landing page

Content

This page will have a collection of links for N950 developer kit users. In other words people from Nokia Community Device Program.

Useful links

Usage

• How to become root
• Migrating from N900, MeeGo wiki
  
• MeeGo CE installation etc
• Current Firmware status: nokia.com (TBC)
• OneClickFlasher Downloads
  • Unfortunately, these do not check for errors in the downloaded image, so verify before using to avoid confusing flash failures:
  • WARNING: If updating from beta 1 to beta 2 and you wish to keep data without breaking Twitter and encountering dataloss, there is a section on the Migration page that you should follow
  • There are some problems when flashing from some recent versions of popular distributions. openSUSE 11.4, Ubuntu 11.10 and Fedora 15 are known to cause problems during the rootfs and mmc steps. Error messages contain plenty of "bb5_rdc_cert_read failed". Archlinux, Meego and slightly older versions of the listed above have been used successfully. If you get that error, use the flasher from beta1.

extracting OCF:

function extract-OCF {
ARCHIVE=`head -c 10000 "$1" | awk '/^__ARCHIVE_BELOW__/ {print NR + 1; exit 0; }'`
echo "Extracting the archive from OneClickFlasher to current directory in 5s... (^C to abort)"
sleep 5
echo "Extracting started at "`date "+%H:%M:%S"`
tail -n +$ARCHIVE "$1" | tar -C . -xf -
echo "Extracting finished at "`date "+%H:%M:%S"`
}

extract-OCF <OCF.bin>

Reporting bugs and ways to get support

Reporting bugs is really tricky thing to do because of the problem about which component is guilty: is it MeeGo core component or Nokias component of Harmattan.

There is also a freshly established Shared Community Repository for Harmattan that you can find here:

https://build.pub.meego.com/project/show?project=home%3Arzr%3Aharmattan

do

echo 'deb http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/rzr:/harmattan/MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_Maemo.org_MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_standard/ ./' >>/etc/apt/sources.list.d/nicks.list

More details at http://rzr.online.fr/q/harmattan

This must be researched a bit if here could be links to other resources having lists etc details about stuff under work to N950/N9. If you have ideas, please use discussion page!
