will try tomorrow, i took my notebook to work to plug it into the router there for a direct connection-instead of using my wireless (which -on the notebook- sucks-on my nook tablet it works great- and i cannot find my 200Mps powerline adaptor to route it thru my electric lines to downstairs) and left it there when i left for home- of course i have to clean the computers up in my office, i have 3 nonworking computers atm just sitting there- one working but for some reason it does not recognize that i have a usb mouse and keyboard using windows 7- i might wipe that one's hard drive and install ubuntu on that if the notebook ends up being too slow-provided i can get it to recognize that i have a mouse/keyboard plugged in..

thanks

Ubuntu on Thumb Drive

Sounds like you need to revise some settings in the BIOS for the computer.

Ubuntu will find the mouse & keyboard UNLESS there is a hardware or BIOS issue. You will be using them BEFORE you actually do the install.

BTW, I have an instruction on my site for building a bootable USB thumb drive with Ubuntu. You can run it on a Windows machine without changing Windows or installing Ubuntu. http://raywaldo.com/2012/06/how-to-c...ive-of-ubuntu/

After a lot of toil and trouble, I'm now running CM9 on my 16GB NT from a build off my computer! Thanks for all of the great info and guide.

Couple of things I learned on the way that might be helpful for others. I'm using Gentoo x86_64, so some of this stuff may not apply to you.

1. Make sure you are using Python 2.6 or 2.7 I started with Python 3.1 and had to revert. on gentoo, eselect python set x and then run python-updater
2. Install tofrodos, you'll probably have to unmask it, I did
3. As mentioned previously, install sun-jdk 6. You can leave the icedtea on there, but use java-config to select the sun-jdk for the user
4. After installing the sun-jdk I had to export ANDROID_JAVA_HOME=/opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.31/
5. I also added ~/bin to my path to make using the repo command easier

deleted the manifest.xml, ended up going back 2 steps from the repo init,- redid it from just prior to the chmod command redid that, the chmod, the repo init and then the sync and it appears to have worked.

Oooo Gentoo! Fancy-pants!

Congratulations.. :)

Oh, by the way to follow up with another thread, if you want to try the linero improvements as I did with NC, here's how you do it:

1. repo sync to get the latest everything.
2. Do this:

croot
cd frameworks/base
git fetch http://review.cyanogenmod.com/CyanogenMod/android_frameworks_base refs/changes/80/17380/2 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
cd ../../bionic
git fetch http://review.cyanogenmod.com/CyanogenMod/android_bionic refs/changes/35/17535/2 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
croot

then build as normal. In case the commits don't take from the above, you can find the relevant submissions here and here.

I would expect the result should be significant, especially w/benchmarks and framerates and such, since the linero video demo was a pandaboard, which is an omap4430 and the NT is an omap...4430. These aren't all the refinements from linero, but I think the bionic one is supposed to make a big difference.

Also, not sure if

ARCH_ARM_HAVE_ARMV7A := true

is set automatically, but if you don't notice anything in bionic building differently, add the above to your BoardConfig.mk file in devices/bn/acclaim/BoardConfig.mk and see if it helps.

Lemme know if it does anything!

Hmm. I might give it a try but I am wondering if I can use it for CM7?

No-- at least on CM I had someone try the bionic binaries w/cm7 and it didn't work. That said, you can try applying the patches to the cm7 version of bionic and who knows-- might need to do some creative jiggering to get it to take....

The framework stuff would be totally different from cm7->ics.

The pandaboard demo from linaro is pretty impressive, so I'm hoping someone tries it.

I just tried it myself and yes, it doesn't work with CM7. It does work with CM9.

@succulent

Would we have the opportunity to flash your compiled image CM9+Linaro someday?
Thanks

I have it on my blog,

I definitely see an improvement in CPU score in Quadrant.
To compare to CM7 internal, the average score is simlar to CM9 3.x internal. This is same with external.


I've also changed some stuff in the boardconfig.mk,

ARCH_ARM_HAVE_TLS_REGISTER := true
NEEDS_ARM_ERRATA_754319_754320 := true
TARGET_GLOBAL_CFLAGS += -DNEEDS_ARM_ERRATA_754319_754320
ARCH_ARM_HAVE_ARMV7A := true (It's not needed, but I added it anyway)
TARGET_BOOTLOADER_BOARD_NAME := acclaim

# Kernel/Boot
BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE := androidboot.console=ttyO0 console=ttyO0,115200n8 init=/init rootwait vram=32M,82000000 omapfb.vram=0:5M@82000000 def_disp=lcd2 (vram=0:16 causes rebooting problem on CM7)
