Maemo on BeagleBoard

Project description

This project is about creating an environment based on the maemo SDK that is runnable on a BeagleBoard.

Required environment

The project contains a ready kernel in uImage format and for some releases a Maemo rootfilesystem. Those can be used to quickly try out the environment on your BeagleBoard. Instructions for building your own rootfilesystem and package configurations are also provided.

If you want to build your own rootfilesystem or change the default package configuration, you will need to install the latest Maemo 5 SDK. SDK release page is http://maemo.org/development/sdks/ and at this time the latest SDK release is maemo 5 alpha SDK.

Preparing the hardware
