The moko is an arm920t core (armv4t arch), but I believe that the official packages aren't even compiled with the EABI. The core itself is exactly the same as that of the TS-72xx boards, which I've worked with extensively. The packaging, pinouts, and on-chip peripherals are really all that are different, so creating a toolchain is a non-issue. The /proc/cpuinfo component of the FreeRunner's kernel is slightly bjorked - through some odd patches they have mashed board info into the cpuinfo structure somehow instead of the cleaner /proc/SBC/info structure. I should have no problem taking my current instructions from the gentoo-wiki and editing them to provide info for the openmoko. U-Boot, and the usb-loader utility (dfu-util) are the only components that I have little experience with. Although it was reasonably easy enough to load the om2008.8 image. So I guess, in the long run, I'll be aiming to provide a kernel patchset specifically for the freerunner hardware in the portage tree, as well as a toolchain patchset for the samsung sc324XX SoC that the openmoko folks are using. It should be possible to build everything that the openmoko folks provide in any of their images, given a list of packages & the patchsets, but using the (far better IMHO) ebuild build system as opposed to bitbake. Nedd & Angelo - with the PDA-centric overlay ( & binary packages? ) that you guys are creating, are there any plans in the works for making a (graphical?) package manager app for mobile devices? I'm using portage-utils pretty extensively these days for a push-ing distributed package manager, which my boss has me unfortunately implementing as a grails web-app, but I'd be very interested in collaborating on something like that, gtk-based, ncurses-based, written in Java for all I care, etc. Cheers, Chris shawnzier@gmail.com wrote: > On Wed, Sep 03, 2008 at 10:44:28PM +0200, =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=C2ngelo_Miguel_Arrifano_ wrote: >> On Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:02:52 -0400 >> Christopher Friedt wrote: >> >>> Is anyone else on this list contributing to the openmoko codebase?
