See the README file for installation instructions.

NOTE: Most current port information is on Wiki: http://codex.xiaoka.com/wiki/streak:meego

Current status:

booting Dell kernel release (2.6.29) configured for MeeGo

Not to seem skeptic, but... that's it? I mean, I could probably make a bootscreen that looks like that... Could you tell us the source other than the Youtube video?

Awesome! Pure win!

Taken from their site:

"MeeGo is an open source, Linux project which brings together the Moblin project, headed up by Intel, and Maemo, by Nokia, into a single open source activity. MeeGo integrates the experience and skills of two significant development ecosystems, versed in communications and computing technologies. The MeeGo project believes these two pillars form the technical foundations for next generation platforms and usages in the mobile and device platforms space."

So its Nokia's and Intel's rival to Google's Android using Linux....am I right? I've only just heard about meego myself

smokku · Sep 9, 2010

Basically MeeGo is a Linux distribution targeted for mobile devices.

If maemo is anything to go by..meego rules all..Only let down compared to android I had was solely lack of development and apps..Multi-Tasking was gods work on my n900..

I've been working hard on porting Dell (Qisda) changes to Qualcomm android-msm-2.6.35 tree for last weeks and it finally paid out:

Code:

MeeGo release 1.0.90 (MeeGo)
Kernel 2.6.35-rc6+ on an armv7l

localhost login:

with working USB Ethernet gadget:

Code:

$ lsusb | grep Eth

          RX bytes:384 (384.0 B)  TX bytes:1528 (1.5 KB)

This should finally kickstart my MeeGo development.

That's awesome. Big ups.

homeiss · Oct 5, 2010

Great work smokku! Keep it up.

punkrckriot · Oct 24, 2010

gotta ask. is it meego for handsets or for tablets? i think the tablet version would work pretty well on our Streaks

smokku · Oct 24, 2010

http://codex.xiaoka.com/pub/meego/streak/ some stuff I'm working on.

Do not attempt this @home!!! - unless you know what you're doing.

Looks like the boot.img will allow a dual boot? For sure we're loading the OS from SD card. If no dual boot, it would just be a matter of reflashing a "stock" boot.img to get back to where we started, yes?

No dual boot (yet).
To get back to android you just need to reflash stock android boot.img.

Great job smokku..

Awesome! Will try this upcoming weekend.

smokku · Oct 25, 2010

I just drastically simplified "installation" procedure.
No SD-Card repartitioning is required anymore.

Mariol · Oct 26, 2010

Great work Smoku, congratulations; i don't have a clue, but does it come with a gui? is there something left to do to make it work completely?

id really like to see MeeGo running on streak, even just in video or photos for now
