Re: the Fremantle Porting Task Force, or "how to run maemo on Neo900"
 

I'm missing fremantle-specific audio related kernel cmdline parameters

Re: the Fremantle Porting Task Force, or "how to run maemo on Neo900"
 

Its not needed since PR1.2. These parameters were integrated into rx51 sound driver and already are part of PR1.3 and upstream kernels.

Nokia just forgot to remove these (now useless) params from cmdline.

Any news on this? Any testing needed? I have some spare n900s (one fully servicable, one with U/S GSM chip) on which I could try things if needed, (Well, I will be able to in a few weeks once I get back from a trip round Ireland).

Re: the Fremantle Porting Task Force, or "how to run maemo on Neo900"
 

Well, the ultimative test would be to build fremantle entirely from available sources, and see how far we get.
Then prepare a list of needed blob binaries which the user has to rip out of an existing fremantle image or installation s/he owns, and set up a script to do the copying of those binaries to e.g. a tarball on uSD of a stock fremantle N900, and then another script to extract them form that uSD tarball and integrate them on your test N900 into the FREEmantle build that only has the FOSS stuff :-)

hi bro joerg_rw, any progress on porting fremantle to neo900?

Re: the Fremantle Porting Task Force, or "how to run maemo on Neo900"
 

I'm not an active member of the FPTF developers group. Seems I recall freemangordon agreeing on doing the above-mentioned complete build based on the new kernel and all our available FOSS sources. But I think it's better to ask the developers directly rather than me.

sound , cameras, vibra and accelerometer are working now(new mce)?
any updates freemangordon?

Re: the Fremantle Porting Task Force, or "how to run maemo on Neo900"
 

Right now it doesn't make much of a sense to play with upstream kernel and fremantle, as upstream is in a process of transition to DT based boot and most of the stuff is broken - see http://elinux.org/N900/Changelog for what is expected to happen in the near future. However, I did some experiments with 3.15-rc5 while testing Sebastian's ssi patches and was able to successfully compile and load SGX driver with DT boot.

As soon as most of the pending stuff is merged (i.e. 3.16 is out) I will continue with porting.

hello everyone,

Is the goal of this project to port maemo 5 to the neo900?
does that mean you won't get any fancy cssu features? that would
be disappointing.

Re: Cssu
 

In short, yes. Or better said - porting/fixing Maemo to work with upstream kernel.

Why is that? Actually it is stock Maemo5 + CSSU + HW adaptation that will be called Freemantle, IIUC
