An .aos for openAOS – beta

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

CheBuzz put together an unsigned .aos file for gen6/IMT devices.
For those who run an hacked firmware this makes installing an multi-boot environment very easy. Just unpack this zip-file, rename firmware_archos5-7_dualboot.aos tofirmware_archos5-7.aos and move it to your device via USB.

Please note that this file only contains free software and there is nothing unlawful  happening  if a user installs this file.

BOOTNOTE: The file is – obviously – unsigned. That means it will not install if you run stock Archos firmware. Period.

Archos releases SDE for gen7 / Archos5 IT!

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Archos have just released their SDE for gen7 (Archos5 IT). Nice to see that the SDE for their generation 6 products was not a one time show. And now you can run the software of your own choice on more of their devices.

I hope we’ll be able to put support for those devices (Archos5 IT) soon into our project. It should be fairly easy as both the gen6 and the gen7 are based on similar hardware and both SDE versions come with an OpenEmbedded overlay and we also use OpenEmbedded.
