I was anxiously waiting for the handset experience to surface. After all I had quickly gotten the MeeGo core image to work on my A5IT (see previous posting Maemo and Meego on A5IT – proof of concept).
Once it was out I managed to get my hands on a kickstart file referencing the correct repositories and set up mic2 (which is a serious pain in the back).
Sadly the resulting image (I had added our kernel modules and some slight modifications) didn’t get the Xorg server up.
After some investigations and tests I added the SGX modules from the 2.0.x Archos firmware but still Xorg fails.
I am now looking for people that also want to try get this working. I suspect some libraries need to be replaced or even recompiled. To make things easier I’ve hacked up an USB-console into the image. So when you attach it to your PC it will show up as a serial device and you can directly use a terminal software to access the root console bound to it.
So if you want to help drop me a line on IRC (see chat link top right corner).
Cheers
Thomas
PS: Due to hardware differences this will work on gen7 only. Gen6 is missing the SGX GPU core.
