Not much more than the subject already says. I used the old meego-core image I had still around from gen7 and it happened to boot and show X11 + xterm.
It then quickly rebooted. Didn’t investigate yet if that’s due to a watchdog or something else.
Still wanted those who are waiting for things to happen in this direction to know.
Cheers

PS: Yes I’m calling that meego as it was some real MeeGo userspace, just the kernel is probably not fully MeeGo compliant.
Smoku went ahead and put his experience to it and made some wonderful things. Among others he backported the n900 SGX kernel glue to our beloved (not) 2.6.27.10 franken-kernel. Long story short: Here’s handset user experience running on an A5IT!
He’s collecting his notes on this project here: http://codex.xiaoka.com/wiki/meego:archos
A5IT with handset UX
Happy hack-mas from the openAOS team!
We heard some rumors already yesterday but now we’ve received a video that shows what seems to be working WiFi.
We’re eagerly awaiting the formal submission by Furies.
Andoreas sent us a video of his proof of concept for Froyo with working SGX/EGL on gen7.
If you have an WebM capable browser you should see it right here:
If not you can just download the video.
He’s currently working out the details of how to get this working in a more clean fashion and we are hopeful to find an way to get this into our future builds.
