Openmoko on HTC-Dream
From Openmoko
Contents |
Introduction
HTC-Dream is a android based phone. Android is running on top of a Linux kernel. So we have basically no work to do using this kernel to boot an Openmoko user space. This work is done. I booted an Openmoko user space. The way to do it on your own is described below.
Working
- USB-Ethernet
- Framebuffer console
- Xfbdev
Setup the rootfs
- In this example setup I used a SD-Card as root partition.
- In order to follow this guide format a SD-Card (just like installing Openmoko on Neo Freerunner).
- First partition: vfat
- Second partition: ext2 (root)
- mount it and extract http://ftp.o2s.ch/pub/fso-console-image-htcdream.tar.gz to it.
Use internal memory
Type root into the login screen and for password just type enter then
ifup usb0
Then connect to your htcdream over usb+ssh:
ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 scp fso-console-image-htcdream.tar.gz root@192.168.0.202:~ ssh root@192.168.0.202 gunzip fso-console-image-htcdream.tar.gz
Then mount the internal memory with the biggest space make it clean and install your openmoko:
mkdir /mnt/foo mount /dev/mtdblock5 /mnt/foo -o noatime -t yaffs2 rm -rf /mnt/foo/* tar xvf fso-console-image-htcdream.tar -C /mnt/foo
Bootloader
You need to install fastboot. In order to do this, you will have need to have "root" on the existing Android device or already have a developer version of the bootloader installed.
Kernel
Building new kernel
Use the kernel from the replicants. Fetch the kernel sourcecode from http://gitorious.org/replicant/gnulinuxkernel And configure it as you whish.
export HACK_DIR=`pwd` git clone git://gitorious.org/replicant/gnulinuxkernel.git cd gnulinuxkernel cp arch/arm/configs/openmoko_msm .config make CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/bin/ ARCH=arm sudo make CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/bin/ ARCH=arm modules_install sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6-29-openmoko-msm /mnt/foo/lib/modules/ sync umount /mnt/foo
Building boot.img
mkdir $HACK_DIR/mk_boot_img cd $HACK_DIR/mk_boot_img wget http://wiki.openmoko.org/images/9/92/Mkbootimg.bin wget http://wiki.openmoko.org/images/f/f6/Newramdisk.cpio.gz mv Newramdisk.cpio.gz newramdisk.cpio.gz sudo cp Mkbootimg.bin /usr/bin/mkbootimg
For SD-card rootfs
mkbootimg --cmdline "console=tty0 no_console_suspend=1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=2 fbcon=rotate:1" \ --kernel $HACK_DIR/msm/arch/arm/boot/zImage \ --ramdisk ./newramdisk.cpio.gz -o openmoko-boot.img
For internal rootfs
mkbootimg --cmdline "console=tty0 no_console_suspend=1 root=/dev/mtdblock5 rootfstype=yaffs2 rootdelay=2 fbcon=rotate:1" \ --kernel $HACK_DIR/msm/arch/arm/boot/zImage \ --ramdisk ./newramdisk.cpio.gz -o openmoko-boot.img
Flashing boot.img
- Start into fastboot
- execute
fastboot flash boot openmoko-boot.img
- restart then handy
fastboot reboot
