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 userspace. This work is done. I booted an OpenMoko userspace. The way to do it on your own is described below.
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 Android on NeoFreerunner).
- First partition: vfat
- Second partition: ext2 (root)
- mount it and extract http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/releases/Om2008.12/Om2008.12-om-gta02.rootfs.tar.gz to it
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.
Building new kernel
Use 2.6.29 from android.git.kernel.org. 2.6.27 rebooted after a few minutes without any 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 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-htc-dream /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 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
Flashing boot.img
- Start into fastboot
- execute
fastboot flash boot openmoko-boot.img
- restart then handy
fastboot reboot
