= Mer on Openmoko Successor GTA04 =

This page details the steps required to bring up a development environment which can be used to create a basic Mer image.

The hardware adaptation is maintained in the project [https://build.pub.meego.com/project/packages?project=home%3Amayerjosua home:mayerjosua

Working

 * Linux 2.6.32 + OpenGL-ES + X.org
 * Linux 3.7.0 + OpenGL-ES on Framebuffer
 * USB Networking

Not working

 * Linux 3.7.0 + OpenGL-ES with X.org
 * Plasma Active GUI

Building a Plasma Active Image
An adaptation kickstart file can be generated from the plasma-active-kickstart repository:

mer-kickstarter -e. -c latest-devel/plasma-active-latest-devel.yaml -o plasma-active-latest-ks

To build an image from the result:

cd plasma-active-latest-ks sudo mic create fs plasma-active-armv7l-gta04.ks -o. --arch=armv7hl --logfile=plasma-active-build.log

The Image can be unpacked to any partition on the sdcard and then booted.

Current Issues

 * pvr.service is not autostarting even though %post calls systemctl enable pvr.service. The required symlink in /etc/systemd is not created.
 * plasma-device uses 100% cpu and does not react to clicks on the screen.
 * Booting the latest image results in lockup and blue/yellow screen when X.org starts. Possibly related to the version of xf86-video-omapfb used.
