As to which binaries we need, I'm not sure yet but we can cross that bridge in a bit.

To make the build script, we should probably analyze other build scripts for other devices and the directories for them.

This thread might aid in development, I doubt they have the build scripts for archos but they at least have examples in the program I'm sure and other tools to use.

Also for whoever attempts to get a functional kernel for cm7 this page may be useful(or possibly me just making sure I read this later)

Thank you!

Okey, you really knows a lot more than i am
I'll do the binaries, just say me where they are?^^
Maybe you could try the Build script(s)...
And for the Touchscreen Driver:
We've to look for somebody who do the instructions i've found on the net

Okey, i know this Thread, its great except the fact it don't support Archos ^^
I'll send a message at these guys about archos devices and parallels about our gen8 devices ad supported devices, so we could create our own script to do it from scratch like they've do
But i now i go to bed^^

To start with build scripts I would recommend to find a device - which is supported by CM, if there even is one - which has similiar hardware as the Archos Gen8 series and start from there instead to start from scratch.
If there is no such similiar device series you unfortunately would have to start from scratch

I have Desire and Desire HD also Aria and Legend....but all is HTC...the hardware spec is not similar to Archos gen8....

Okey,thank you
there is no device similar to our archos that is supported
But is it possible to "mix" it?
Like:
Cpu - from a phone that has Arm Cortex A8
[...]
we put together all parts
woukd that be possible?

Yes, CPU might be the most important common part, then WiFi/BT, DSP (for hardware acceleration of videos), Sound, Touchscreen and in the end USB host port.

I've searched but i dont found anything about writing build scripts on android...

I haven't found anything too, but I did some research in the beginning of this year: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...ld_Environment

After installing the repository on the build machine, you have all the build scripts from other devices and can copy and adapt them.

Agreed

Agreed too

Okey, but how do we get these firmwares out of the archos firmware?

Okey, i just have a windows pc, but i think i put linux on it
Ubuntu is the best for developening, isn't it?
I have to talk to my brother (with-owner of the pc)
I'll put a dual-boot system on my pc

I want Cyanogen!

a) adb pull (this is what the "extract_files.sh" does)
b) root the device and copy files one by one
c) root the device, copy the filesystem image and extract the files by script

So you start developing? If not, no need for linux at all

4 days ago you wanted UrukDroid, 3 day ago you wantet Honeycomb, now you want CM, will you stay this time?

Sorry, im a noob I just don´t understand.
Adb pull is copy files over adb(command connection over usb); right?

So you start developing? If not, no need for linux at all

I try I reset my Pc anyway

4 days ago you wanted UrukDroid, 3 day ago you wantet Honeycomb, now you want CM, will you stay this time?

Same answer as in 2

from what i understand 2.2, 2.3 doesnt support usb hosting which is needed for the archos screen
is there a fix for that?
i know android 3.0, 3.1 support usb hosting...
