N950
I pitched for a N950 device from the Community Device Program to comtinue platform development work for MeeGo Handset CE and to help progress the push to a Wayland stack for 1.3. I was luck enough to be chosen for a device (thanks Quim, Texrat, Nokia). I will keep this page updated with what I'm up to with the device. You can always find me on #meego and #meego-arm.
Twimgo Build
As the capability to flash CE to the device is waiting for some bootloader code I have spent sometime at the app level. I've not used QtCreator before so this was the ideal opportunity to see if I could port an application to the device. I downloaded Qtcreator which included the MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan targets and configured the tool to talk to the SDK application on the device.
I chose Twimgo (Twitter client) as the stock N950 is lacking in this area and is also Qt/QML based.
I downloaded the source and in no time at all had built and deployed to the device.
Joggler Image based on kernel-adaptation-intel-automotive and new MeeGo packaged EMGD Driver

TODO - 05-02-11
- wifi - needs driver enabling in kernel
- wired ethernet - needs driver enabling in kernel
- sound - needs patches from http://joggler.exotica.org.uk/source/kernel/split/

Prepare OBS Package
download source rpm from http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/kernel/Trunk/src/ eg: http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/kernel/Trunk/src/kernel-adaptation-intel-automotive-2.6.35.10-21.2.src.rpm Talk to lbt on #meego-dev, #meego for a login to public obs
setup ~/.oscrc with correct urls, username and password. web interface https://build.pub.meego.com/ osc api interface https://api.pub.meego.com/
mkdir build-area cd build-area osc meta pkg -e home:<username> <package name> osc co home:<username>/<package name> cd home:<username> cd <package name> rpm2cpio *src.rpm|cpio -id osc addremove osc commit
set to build against Meego:current:Core/standard using gui
trigger build
This should get you some binary and a source package.
Prepare files to make Joggler Adaptation
rename files
config-adaptation-intel-automotive and kernel-adaptation-intel-automotive.spec to config-adaptation-joggler and kernel-adaptation-joggler.spec
replace
'intel-automotive' with 'joggler' in Makefile.config and kernel-adaptation-joggler.spec
osc addremove osc commit
we now should have joggler named binaries
Make .config Joggler specific
Using http://jogglerhacks.blogspot.com/2010/07/making-meego-kernel-package-for-joggler.html create new versions of config-adaptation-joggler and config-generic
TODO : This needs more research. Just nicked Stskeeps files for now.
rebuild
we now should have joggler specific kernel binaries
Create image
Using kickstart here http://pastebin.com/UHPiCuzd
sudo mic-image-creator --run-mode=0 --cache=../mycachedir --format=loop --release=daily --compress-disk-image=none --config=meego-netbook-ia32-1.1.80.14.20110111.8.ks
emgd bin is now here as well, http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/1.1.80/daily/non-oss/repos/ia32/packages/i586/emgd-bin-1812-1.1.i586.rpm, TODO update .ks
Mount Loopback
sudo mount -o loop <image name>.img /mnt
Create a Stick
With a 4Gb memory stick create a 50Mb FAT16 partition and the rest as a EXT2 partition
Write to ext3 partition on a Jogger stick the contents of /mnt
sudo rsync -aHx /mnt/* <stick ext partition> . Get beers in.
Write the contents of joggler-fat-partition.tqz to fat16 partition - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5715485/joggler-fat-partition.tgz - fixup grub.cfg to point to new kernel
Booting
Put in Joggler and boot.
edit out the time setting lines in /usr/share/system-config-date/scdMainwindow.py
The screen will then blank. Don't panic
Use Alt+F1 to get a login prompt
User: meego Pw: meego - you may need to use Alt+F1 again
su Pw: meego
telinit 3 - to stop uxlaunch
vi /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
replace
if [ -x /usr/bin/twm ] ; then exec /usr/bin/twm fi
with
if [ -x /usr/bin/mutter ] ; then exec /usr/bin/mutter fi
startx - should bring up UX - close clock and xterm
TODO - work out why uxlaunch does not bring up X, sound, wifi, ethernet
edit /etc/rc.local and add in the following lines at the end (using your mac address)
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:00:de:ad:be:ef /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
reboot, and eth0 should be working using dhcp

Meego on GMA500 Based Laptops
After getting MeeGo up on my Poulsbo based O2 Joggler
I have prepared a kickstart file for Poulsbo/GMA500 based netbooks.
If you have one of these netbooks and can spare the time I would be interested in the results.
You can catch me vgrade on #meego.
After a couple of reports of this nearly working I have edited the ks to a later version of the core and netbook repos
sudo mic-image-creator --cache=mycachedir --format=liveusb --config=<filename>.ks --run-mode=0
Find below a kickstart which allows the UX to come up - thanks to amyako for the tips the generic Xorg
to get X server up and running you need to do these steps after booting
Alt + F1 login: meego pass: meego su pass: meego telinit 3 Alt + F1
vi /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients
replace
if [ -x /usr/bin/twm ] ; then exec /usr/bin/twm fi
with
if [ -x /usr/bin/mutter ] ; then exec /usr/bin/mutter fi
startx
See this thread for latest info http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=989
If you have success please post a video and also let me know what netbook you are running.
The source code for the kernel pulled in here can be found here http://vgrade.co.uk/kernel-2.6.33.3-20.1.src.rpm

GMA500 Future on Meego
The EMGD drivers were pulled from repo.meego.com so the kickstart files above will no longer work.
Below is a extract from #meego IRC log where I ask Arjan Van De Ven (MeeGo Chief Architect) about the future of GMA500 on MeeGo.
http://mg.pov.lt/meego-irclog/%23meego.2010-08-17.log.html#t2010-08-17T22:59:44
Further to this Intel have released an official EMGD driver set with MeeGo support. see http://edc.intel.com/Software/Downloads/EMGD/#download
When I get chance I will update the kickstart files.

Thanks goes to stskeeps for much help
