    Updated:
    Use the following instructions above.

    This is not any build. It's just a wip.

    Read the following code and instructions to compile for archos 80 gen9 devices.

    device/archos/archos-g9 rename it for device/archos/gen9
    To compile it sucessfully.



    Hi there!

    I have a question.

    Is it possible to do a firefox os wip as multiboot ext4 image?

    For 80 g9 turbo also turbo hdd?

    I have a hdd version archos 80 g9.
    Sent from my L9000 using xda app-developers app

    For compiling Firefox OS for Archos G9.

    Do the following steps:

    1 - git clone the b2g project

    2 - cd B2G

    3 - ANDROIDFS_DIR=~/B2G/BACKUP/system ./config.sh archos-gen9 archos-gen9.xml

    4 - ./build.sh

    5 - fixes for our archos gen9 see the bizcuite posts. He helped me a lot.

    Other steps:

    archos-gen9.xml:

    Tuesday a working release rom image.

    For archos gen9 project path for device gen9 i'll update it soon.

    This week a working rom. I think.

    I've been working today to give us all a working rom.


    Instructions for testing:

    copy system.img for /data/local
    or
    copy system.img for /mnt/storage using adb push system.img /mnt/storage

    Welcome to XDA.

    Both of your topics seem to be in wrong section, as they should be in general.

    Having Firefox Os in ext4 is possible in theory, but no one has ported it to archos G9 series.

    Hi Guys,

    It's possible to have multiboot with archos tablet (i am sure with Gen8, i have made it ^^).

    Firefox OS can be compiled easily with the device folder from Gen 9 CM9/10.
    I start it like CM7 = SDE => Kernel=> Initramfs => OS choice's

    With my folder (Gen8 - CM9 CyanoBiz) i have compile it yesterday and my first release works today (3D, Wifi, TS and sound works)
    I have just modified an include path in an android.mk in /external folder (don't remember exactly the name).
    No modification in the kernel (except all made to run ICS)

    On my tab (A70S2 Froyo Gen8) it works well, i haven't try the video playing or other, because i haven't navigation button :D
    On Omap44xx you have already a base with pandaboard based on the same CPU.

    I don't know how is started yours alternatives OS, but i can give informations about the compilation of Firefox OS for Archos.

    I have passed 1 day to port it (just start the system, not fix all bugs :D )

    To have a home button, just see this https://github.com/lfont/blog/blob/master/pages/firefox-os-on-the-galaxy-nexus/content.md

    Read the section about "Fix the key mapping".

    I will try to map the volume up to the Home key.
