Looks like OpenHand has just released Poky 3.0 on Aug. 1 and is now sporting a Nokia 800 image that is experimental.

Was wondering if anyone has tried this yet and if so what are your results? Unfortunately I only have a 770.

I would also like to know if it will be possible to run this on a 770.

I've successfully installed it on my N800, check out my blog for a video of me using Poky on my N800.

Which is great and all, but if you go to the pokylinux home page, you'll see that wifi doesn't even work.

Kind of negates the whole reason for an internet tablet.

I don't mean to get down on the effort, but come on... wifi is a basic for this device.

It's a development image. Perhaps chat to the people on #angstrom and ask about the wifi driver. It may simply be that they can't include it as it's proprietary - you may be able to add it yourself as you own a Nokia (I think there's a wrapper driver for the wifi binary blob driver?)

one can get the free N770 wlan-driver source
at https://garage.maemo.org/projects/cx3110x
so it should be no problem to include it.
or am i missing something?

edit: just found info on the closed binary only umac.ko driver module one needs, so it looks the driver is indeed not completely open source, hmmm this sucks!

but i also found this post on a free prism54 based driver port
http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail//ma...il/003575.html
anyone knows if this has worked out ok for the N770?
