Revision as of 15:42, 19 July 2009

Introduction

HTC-Dream is a android based handy. Android is running on top of a linux kernel. So we have basically no work to to then using this kernel to boot an OpenMoko userspace. This work is done. I bootet an OpenMoko userspace. The way to do it your own is described next.

Bootloader

You need to install fastboot. In order to do this, you will have need to root the existing android or have already a developer version installed.

Building new kernel

Use 2.6.29 from android.git.kernel.org 2.6.27 rebootet after some minutes without reason.

export HACK_DIR=`pwd`
git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/msm.git
wget http://wiki.openmoko.org/images/3/3b/Openmoko-htc-dream-kernel-config.txt
cp Openmoko-htc-dream-kernel-config.txt msm/.config
cd msm
make CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/bin/ ARCH=arm

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
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
