ok, that isn't good. I think this time the package is armhf but the binarys are i386 compiled.... I don't know how to solve this.

I suggest we really try to build a hwpack linaro style. There is a config for omap3 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~rsalvet...s/linaro-omap3

This is the guide: https://wiki.linaro.org/HardwarePacks

It seems pretty straight forward. I'm not sure about the u-boot part in the config and 0x8 adresses so we should work this out together.


EDIT: Ok, I think I got the armhf package thing figured out. Have to test first but it looks good sofar.

<mpoirier> I hosted it there to get help from someone who knows about packaging a kernel with debian packages.
<mpoirier> fakeroot debian/rules n900
<mpoirier> otherwise compiling will work, but not the debian packaging.
<int_ua> it said "make: *** No rule to make target `n900'. Stop."
<mpoirier> you can still use that kernel.
<mpoirier> you simply can't debian package it.
mpoirier> it would be great to have people picking up that work.
<mpoirier> although, it mostly comes from the meego people.
<mpoirier> and fixing the debian packaging shouldn't be an issue for someone acquainted with the process.

imagine that you want to have a kernel package that is based on an upstream vanilla Linus
=D
What IRC channel do you prefer? Let's try #linaro
Edit: I'm planning to be online today at 14:00-16:00 and maybe in the evening.

Now, who doesn't want a upstream Linus ? :-D


So, got both 2.6.37 and 3.0.4 kernels packaged in armhf debs. No, they don't boot yet, but things are progressing.

In Ubuntu /usr/share/dpkg and /usr/share/kernel-package:

I simply add there entrys regarding armhf. After that compiling and packaging with debian tools become a lot easier.

for someone acquainted with the process
I'm not I do error&retry until it somehow works.

Revision 104
Status: booted
ubuntu core, custom kernel by unknown-obvious, lubuntu-desktop, lxde. xorg. chronum
16GB microsd (older sandisk, but fast)
2GB FAT partition, 1GB swap

It's working fast, very fast . Boot time is also very nice. I need install icons, because I haven't any icons (white blank icons) and wifi gui - wpagui not show any interface, libicou (or something like that) is missing.I may try wicd tommorow. It's working nice, but needs more programs. I will test it tommorow. But it's very good project

EDIT: Thanks for workaround for blank icons. I installed wicd network manager and it's working good, but every reboot wlan0 has one more digit (wlan9, wlan10, wlan11 etc)
Ubuntu with lxde is working quite fast, sound is working (I must install alsa-utils), batterylife is not terrible. What about OC 500-900MHz ? It will be faster.

Idiot questions from a Ubuntu user:-
If I install this package on my N900, what will it give me?
Presumably, the option to boot either in Maemo or Ubuntu? If I choose to boot in Ubuntu, I presume that the cellphone capabilities will not work in this mode. What about gps?
Probably somewhere in the thread but i'll ask anyway. Can you list the partition arrangement please?
Thanks in anticipation.

You get Ubuntu, and the deep feeling of satisfaction that comes with the ability to natively run software from its vast repositories. You get to let your n900 stop pretending to be a phone, and just let it behave like a normal computer.

Yes. I presume that's why "with u-boot" is in the thread's title.

Yes, that probably is somewhere in this thread. I presume that information would be in the first post. http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...82&postcount=1

What package do you mean? The script is not a package
The cellphone capabilities are working partially with ofono: there are no sound and no fully-functional GUI software, only dbus signals and some kind-of-alpha support for empathy.
IIRC, GPS wasn't tested by anyone yet. You may be the first
There is an option to write only the root FS into file or a single partition in the latest revisions, but to make it work with the old U-Boot I had to make the first partition FAT. The second one is swap and the third - ext partition with the whole Ubuntu system.

preflex, don't be harsh please
