DEB PACKAGE OF OPENMOKO EMULATOR
NewLC is happy to share an other debian package of mobile emulator based on qemu, couple of weeks ago it was android-emulator, now it's about openmoko time.
On any debian based system, you can easly install qemu-neo1973 the same way you installed android-emulator :
1st setup your apt sources
sudo sh -c "
export DISTRIB_CODENAME=sources ;
. /etc/lsb-release;
export REPO='http://rzr.online.fr/docs/contribs/debian/' ;
wget -O- \${REPO}\${DISTRIB_CODENAME}.list >> /etc/apt/sources.list
"
Then install new packages
sudo aptitude update ; sudo aptitude upgrade ; sudo aptitude install qemu-neo1973 apt-src
qemu-system-arm | head -n 1
# QEMU PC emulator version 0.9.1-openmoko-svn, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
openmoko/flash.sh
sudo apt-src update ; apt-src install qemu-neo1973 && cd qemu-neo1973*
qemu-system-arm -M gta01 -m 130 -mtdblock openmoko/openmoko-flash.image -kernel openmoko/openmoko-kernel.bin -usb -show-cursor
So far only the emulator is shipped.
Next job is to download images (rootfs and kernel, see attached link to openmoko-emulator-win32-bin-20070625.zip) or build them by your own.
There are many distros to test : OM, FSO, hackable1 or plain debian as shown in the later video.
DEBIAN OPENMOKO
For unlucky ones who weren't at fosdem 2009 or those who missed the live streaming, here is a video presentation of Debian on OpenMoko's devices like Neo1973 or FreeRunner.
MORE TO COME
NewLC also supports this platform, we plan to investigate more on it and try to find convergence between many GNU/Linux platforms like Maemo, android, LiMo and other embedded or desktop systems...
Last but not least, you'll be root on openmoko ain't this a killer feature ?
