Just extract it to a partition on your sdcard.

It can be installed over ssh:

zypper install nemo-mobile-session

After a reboot, PlasmaActive will start(but take a long time for it).

Apparently it is related to the PowerVR GPU. What can help is to reboot once without running pvrsrvinit.

modprobe hso

qmlpinquery
reboot

Now PA should start fine. pvr can be enabled again since from now on PA should work fine

[edit] 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

[edit] Working

  • Linux 3.7.0
  • USB Networking
  • PlasmaActive starts

[edit] Not working

  • OpenGl-ES with X.org (DRI)
  • PlasmaActive Apps
  • Maliit keyboard
  • Telephony

[edit] Building a Plasma Active Image

An adaptation kickstart file can be generated from the plasma-active-kickstart repository:

mer-kickstarter mer-kickstarter -e . -c releases/plasma-active-4.yaml -o plasma-active-latest-ks/

To build an image from the result:

cd plasma-active-latest-ks
sudo mic create fs plasma-active-armv7hl-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.

[edit] Installing

The System can be installed on any partition on sd-card, but 2GB space is a recommended minimum.

PlasmaActive will take a long while to start!

[edit] Current Issues

  • Apps crash on starting(files, browser, images, ...) (This is related to kwin and OpenGL which does not seem to work properly)

[edit] PowerVR OpenGL-ES

There is also a kickstart file that uses the PowerVR OpenGL-ES binaries as provided by TI The kickstart file is plasma-active-armv7l-gta04-pvr.ks It requires a softfloat build of Mer and PlasmaActive which is not available currently. Anyway the kernel was crasing during boot half of the times.

3.7.0 sadly does not support DRI (yet)

[edit] Telephony

ofono is available in the Mer repositories. Current version is 1.12. Since 1.6 the GTA04 modm is supported so this should work. There is an application qmlpinquery in the Mer repos which should work to enter the pin. I have yet to find out how to use it.

Enter the pin: modprobe hso qmlpinquery
