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.merproject.org/project/packages?project=home%3Amayerjosua home:mayerjosua
Working
- Linux 2.6.32
- OpenGl-ES
- USB Networking
- PlasmaActive
Not working
- Linux 3.7.0 + OpenGL-ES with X.org
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 generated filesystem in can be copied to any partition on the sdcard and then booted.
Installing
The System can be installed on any partition on sd-card, but 2GB space is a recommended minimum.
A working image can be found here. Just extract it to a partition on your sdcard.
Currently nemo-mobile-session is missing from the image, so GUI will not start. It can be installed over ssh:
zypper install nemo-mobile-session
After a reboot, PlasmaActive will start(but take a long time for it).
Current Issues
- Kernel Panic happens sometimes while booting.
