Overview

Create sysroot image(s)

Create the sysroot image(s) using mic2 tool:

• download core-${arch}-madde-sysroot.ks files from http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-os-base/image-configurations/trees/master/core
• use the following command line

sudo mic-image-creator --run-mode=0 --cache=mycachedir --format=fs --arch=${arch} --config=core-${arch}-madde-sysroot.ks --package=tar.bz2 --release

Create QEMU images (QEMU NAND and rootfs)

Create the QEMU NAND image using qflasher tool

• 3 components are needed: a kernel file, nolo-qemu package (provides xloader/secondary binaries) and qflasher package.
  • the kernel file is available with the MeeGo images for QEMU (e.g. http://download.meego.com/trunk-daily/builds/1.1.80/trunk-daily-1.1.80.12.20101223.1/handset/images/meego-handset-armv7l-qemu/)
  • nolo-qemu and qflasher packages are available from non-oss repository (e.g. http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/daily/non-oss/repos/ia32/packages/i586/)
• use the following command line to create the NAND image:

$ ./qflasher -m rx51 -x xloader-qemu.bin -s secondary-qemu.bin -k meego-handset-armv7l-qemu-daily-vmlinuz-2.6.35.3-10.3-n900 -o meego-handset-armv7l-qemu-daily-nand-n900.img -p k=3072

Note: qflasher can be used on all supported Linux hosts. You can extract the rpm package using

$ rpm2cpio qflasher-21-1.1.i586.rpm | cpio -idmv 

• use the following command line to run QEMU:

$ touch sd-empty
$ meego-sdk-qemu-system-arm -M n900 -mtdblock meego-handset-armv7l-qemu-daily-nand-n900.img -sd sd-empty -sd meego-handset-armv7l-qemu-daily-mmcblk0p.raw -serial stdio -clock unix -redir tcp:5555:10.0.2.15:22

Create the QEMU rootfs image using mic2 tool

• download handset-${arch}-qemu.ks files from http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-os-base/image-configurations/trees/master/SDK
• use the following command line

sudo mic-image-creator --run-mode=0 --cache=mycachedir --format=raw --arch=${arch} --save-kernel --config=handset-${arch}-qemu.ks --package=tar.bz2 --release
