This page will to get you started with a custom Mer 'product' using one of the more popular hacker-friendly pieces of hardware.
Contents |
Introduction
First some terminology; Mer is a core OS for vendors who want to make products. So
- a product; is a mix of Mer Core, a HW adaptation and a UX
- a UX; is the graphical user interface or the "User Experience"
- a HW Adaptation; is the tailored kernel, modules, GLES drivers etc built for a specific device
Get started
Prerequisites:
- a MeeGo Community OBS account
- Install the Mer Platform SDK
- One of the following devices
* N900 * ...
Create sample image for your device
These steps will download everything needed for the image into a format suitable for installing on the device.
N900
mkdir n900
cd n900
curl -O ${HTTP_GITHUB_DEVICES}/minimal-n900.ks
sudo mic create raw minimal-n900.ks --record-pkgs=name --pkgmgr=yum --arch=armv7hl --compress-disk-image=bz2 -o .
If you want to explore the rootfs before flashing (or for debugging purposes):
sudo mic create fs minimal-n900.ks --record-pkgs=name --pkgmgr=yum --arch=armv7hl -o root
To install the image to the device first see the Nemo N900 installation instructions and then the image writing instructions.
Networking
N900/N950 + USB
ExoPC + Wifi
RasPi + Ethernet
VM + virtual interface
Next steps
Use your own UX code + repos
osc copypac home:lbt:Mer:UX mer-not-a-ux home:$USER
Change the code and rebuild the package
Change the .ks to point to your repo
Creating ks from .yaml
sudo zypper in mer-kickstarter-configs
