Anyone see or know of any development of a basic version of Ubuntu or other Linux distro on a Windows Mobile device? I see people putting Windows 98 on their PPCs, but why not Linux? Isn't there a mobile version of Ubuntu specifically targeting MIDs? Couldn't that be used as a base?
Search my friend, there is Xanadux.

i read that the kernel is same wont that help porting andriod with respect to some drivers change!!!
no one answered
the problem is our first developer can't keep the android project...
hi
how can i debug this files and run???
currently I'm trying to cross-compile a most recent wildfire kernel I found on htc server using a configuration I personally made for our mega. The problem is there are many errors in the source code...
re.:
In my opinion we start build android from beginning. My problem is in my OS on my PC. I have Windows XP and building and modifing found only on Linux. I find this page with porting guide. It is step by step How to create boot screen, How to setup Connectivity...
source.android.com/porting/bring_up.html
On this page are programs for debug and download android source code...
Anyone write.
Move to general as not rom development
I'm using linux, this is why I want to try to cross-compile a kernel for our device, like I just said, source code has a large number of errors, I don't know why...
if you are interested, I can share the kernel configuration I made myself...
Now I install Ubuntu 10. It was compilation found in this version of Linux??? Where programs can I download? Now I have Git, Eclipse and Python 2.7. How can I install .tar packs on Ubuntu zito882000?
if you are new as a linux user it's quite difficult to explain, you need gcc plus the same programs a normal user has to compile a kernel.
The difference is in the way of compilation, a parameter that does a compilation for arm architectures....do you have some kernel compilation experience?

windows is gold.
with compilation i haven't any experience. I only begin in programming languages C, C++ and VB. I compile only my apps in visual studio. And i have nice experience with photoshop.
it isn't exactly the same thing, in a kernel you have a large number of drivers to compile, not a only one program...
Here cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-26.html you can find a simple guide!
The most important part is the command "make" that need some different parameters to do a cross-compilation for ARM processors ^^
thx
I saw the instructions and understand him. If I somehow help you write to my icq: 484038954 or Skype: vasek-smekal.
So far, thanks
I just bought an HTC Hero with native android.
If you want to try again I share with you my kernel configuration file and a link where you can download the kernel source I used.
(remember to rename "config.txt" in ".config" with the point and without the extension)
KERNEL SOURCE -> http://developer.htc.com/ (must choose "HTC Wildfire - Froyo - 2.6.32 kernel source code")
ARM LINUX GCC -> http://www.handhelds.org/download/projects/toolchain/archive/arm-linux-gcc-3.3.1-030820.tar.bz2
Is it possible to port Embedded Debian http://www.emdebian.org/ on HD2?
I think it must run much better than ubuntu, because ubuntu uses the same base as debian, but too fat!..
Gonna explore about this.. Thanks!
Did a search and did not find anything so m question is as follows, are there any flashers that run on ubuntu?
Wow talk about a dead forum good thing i own an android
There's nothing wrong with the forum, you just need to ask right questions, and possibly search for the answer in existing threads before you post a new one. Do this magic and the forum will open its door for you...
P.S. WTF is an android? Is it some kind of kitchen appliance?
+one on the Android whiplash
WP7 downloader is a Sammy engineering tool, just like you have Odin for the Android. They are not public tools. Flashing is important and therefore, the OS that's running the flasher is more important. For win, there are two versions avail, X86 and 64 bit.For Linux, the distros are quite a larger number. This is why manufacturers tend to develop the flashing tool for a wide-spread and supported platform. Some smart guys developed a flasher for a Linux distro under Linux. ODIN's replacement is called Heimdall.
Chances that MS would develop a flasher under linux are slim.
On the other hand, you could ask Cotulla if he's willing to develop a flashing app for Ubuntu. Chances that he'll do it are also slim.
Good you're on Android and not on a dead forum.
I can compile a Linux kernel for this ereader and install a linux distro?
and drivers (touch, wifi ...)?
or I can modify and compile a kernel android and use it as linux and compiling the necessary programs?
the request may seem inconclusive but the distro that I use has just released the toolchain for the arm architecture ( http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index...c,13835.0.html ) and I would try to make it work on nook simple touch.
Thanks!

There have been other efforts along this line, but none successful that I'm aware of. I believe the touch screen drivers are a major stumbling block.

Thanks for the answer, strangely I do not get the feedback messages and I did not realize you had answered me.
the nook should not be open source? and in the worst case we could not reuse the driver taking full with no changes?
