Dear Ulle,

Your Ubuntu-flasher-image works like a charm!! (saves A LOT of time)

Wondering why I just discovered yesterday....

Perhaps you were right at:

".... this thread should be mentioned in wiki for easing of firmware upgrade: https://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware".

Cheers

Aye Aye Captain , thanks for feedback!

I noticed that my Ubuntu based image is missing the very usefull "rescue os" plus documentation mentioned here by Halftux :

to unlock a forgotten Lock Code ...
The link at the bottom of his post links back to this thread here. His debian image (v0.3.iso) does contain it.

Cheers, Ulle

Hmm do we dare?
If ever you have too much time, one day...
I remember having installed dev things on my PC (debian) to have a virtual N900 (Maemish, do you hear?) on The PC. That was impressing, great toy.
...but I have no clue what I did this day.. some sandbox dev-tools something...

As it was not so easy to install for noob to mid-newbie users, that could be great to be included to your image. But that would imply the add of a GUI and all the troops...

Anyway thanks for the work!

Yes this image should stay as none gui it is meant for flashing and hacking. For example when you prefer nano over vi, I could add it.

However for dev things and virtual N900 (qemu).. it was slow and is slow. You could check out my vhd image.

And how to get the emulator running:

No, I prefer Vi

I am ashamed getting so much spoon feeding, thanks a lot for the links.

It comes from a real machine and you can put the vhd on a real machine again. It is not meant this way but possible.

Is see that you are giving us some learned stuff and information back and you are also able to find something on your own, in this case little spoon feeding is ok, because everyone benefits from it. There are cases were people ask trivial question because they are to lazy and did not searching for there problem, but I think you don't belong to them.

Released a new version based on devuan beowulf.
I needed to patch the vga/framebuffer console scrollback back into the 4.19 kernel to make it useful.
English keyboard layout ist default. To change it for example to german load the responding key map for it.

Code:
loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de.kmap.gz

It should contain all packages from former releases.

If you would like to have the none free firmwares, I could make another version.

Released a new version based on devuan daedalus.
It is a dual iso (cd/usb) file, with dual boot option (bios/uefi 32bit and 64bit).
The devuan is 64bit with installed 32bit libusb for precompiled nokia things.
I needed to patch the vga/framebuffer console scrollback back into the 6.1.76 kernel to make it useful. It is only dangerous if somebody has physical access to the computer. So I would say not important for a live boot.

Would someone be so kind as to reword the usecase of this flashable image? I'm still tending to my collection of N900s and always curious about new usecases!
