Cssu
 
I mean to say that the latest cssu stable is called maemo6. by saying
maemo 5, you are implying that you are porting the stock maemo. I find that confusing.

Also, does porting mean that the new version will be able to run any n900 package? What about packet injection support, or packages that enable/disable/mess with interfaces?

freemangordon is one of CSSU maintainers, I suppose he knows what he's working on :)

I've never seen CSSU refered to as "Maemo 6". Maemo 6 is rather Harmattan, marketed by Nokia as MeeGo and released on Nokia N9.

NeoFremantle is meant to be Application Binary Interface (ABI) and Application Programming Interface (API) compatible to stock fremantle, as much as possible. This means all drivers (injection)*) and updates/patches (CSSU) and apps (maemo-extras packages) should work flawlessly on NeoFremantle.

*) the drivers of course depend on the hw used, so those are most prone to change, but usually for the better rather than the worse, that's what Neo900 hw design is striving for. E.G. "packet injection" is a key capability requirement for Neo900's WLAN.

thank you for the information. I hope the neo900 will become available soon :)

EDIT(from my desktop :) ) :

The upstream linux-next has only SGX, component_version and bootreason drivers added on top. For some reason with uSD card insterted, /opt mounting fails.Also, sound and cameras does not work (but that is to be expected), as are a couple of other devices. For some reason PM/idle still does not work, maybe some changes are not pulled in linux-next, will investigate. Lots of work to be done still, but we're getting closer. Many many thanks to Sebastian Reichel(sre) for his job on upstreaming and porting to DT of N900 drivers

BTW It might be a placebo, but the device seems very snappy.

it does benefit from remaining 2.6.x and all 3.x kernel fixes and optimisations and the "clean up" of arm stuff they did a while back, so speed may be better.

with the modem, i know meego had some drivers for n900 and n9, either on meego or ofono mailing list. will the new drivers work with ofono for those working with arch/debian/freEmantle or is it specific to maemo.

Could be, but I am still not fully convinced it is not a placebo :) . However, it is too early to judge now a couple of devices does not work.

We can try porting maemo on a device that has some of n900 hw
Samsung i8320 aka Vodafone 360 H1 , LiMo os(Linux Mobile) renamed to tizen after intel and samsung work on it
Cyanogen mod 7.2 based on android 2.3.7 already ported and all functions working !
Phone os and drivers are all open source and in github
What do you think guys ?!
