    Motorola Droid Running Pandora's Os

    Using Angstrom (as-is): No Rooting Android and adding the apps necessary for emulation: Possible... Android is basically a bare-bone linux build (think LFS without the ability to replicate) with some custom kernel and apps on top. If you root your phone and put in busybox and some other core...

    Chromium

    Neuvoo 0.3.0 is using Chromium 5.0.375.127, link below. http://neuvoo.org/neuvoo/packages/armv7a/touchbook/www-client/chromium-5.0.375.127.tbz2 This was compiled with the following toolchain armv7a-unknown-linux-gnueabi; gcc-4.3.4 glibc-2.10.1-r1 binutils-2.19.1-r1 linux-headers-2.6.30-r1...

    Haskell And Xmonad On Pandora

    GHC on arm is on my list of things todo. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Gentoo Stories

    We have a portage overlay, under the confusing name 'neuvoo' which we use to patch ebuilds that either dont have KEYWORDS for arm or need patches for whatever reason. All of our ebuilds are pushed upstream if the already exist in the main portage tree. In addition I am adding community ebuilds...

    Gentoo Stories

    Just thought of it after I posted last. We are using metro to build our images of which we have spent a lot of our time making it very simple to use to make custom images. Along with that we have a custom profile tree that will allow us to build a small and capable image specific to a set or...

    Gentoo Stories

    Vitel: We stopped using cross-compiled binaries in 0.2.x, 0.3.0 is all natively compiled. We just uploaded rc7 the other day. http://neuvoo.org/neuvoo/images/0.3.0/test/ We have done some other interesting work including a drop-in replacement of squashfs for the portage tree (and automated)...

    Pandora Should Move To Android

    Little slow in my response since I've moved a couple thousand miles and still waiting for my computers... but Neuvoo is coming along quite well! javaJake just put rc7 out a day or two ago and it should be pretty close to our official 0.3.0 release. Should be bootable with LXDE and a handful of...

    Sdhc Compressed File System?

    Right now we are working on finishing up our neuvoo-0.3.0-official release which will be focused as a light-weight Gentoo-based desktop environment for new/average linux users with armv7a devices. We are spending a lot of time on our build process and automation, and its almost done. This is...

    Ubuntu

    I really don't know where everything is on the Pandora OS, this is just things I've figured out messing around with my Touchbook. It might also be a good idea to copy /etc/dbus-1, /etc/hal (if applicable), and /etc/X11/xorg.conf also. It may be that the drivers all live in /lib/modules which...

    Ubuntu

    Somewhat in this order (I don't have my pandora yet so I can't test this myself) 1. Get separate SD card for Ubuntu. 2. Format accordingly: http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/LinuxBootDiskFormat 3. Get squashfs image for Ubuntu...

    Ubuntu

    I would recommend looking at the Touchbook (http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) also. They use a ubuntu.squashfs image along with aufs for their system, but a simple unpack of that .squashfs on a SD card along with copying the Pandora kernel (and modules) over you should...

    Opkg Upgrade

    Thats partially because I don't know yet, we were not part of the Pandora OS dev team. In general it appears that we are all using similiar toolchains, so therefore I would say "yes", but I just don't know yet since I have yet to play with the factory-OS. Our goal was to provide a more modular...

    Opkg Upgrade

    By default our image is set up for downloading binaries just as you would with a lot of the other Linux distros, however since it is Gentoo you can still compile your own. You can see what we have compiled so far here: http://neuvoo.org/neuvoo/packages/armv7a/0.3.0/official/ I haven't added to...

    Pandora Os Image On Beagleboard

    grab the latest Angstrom kernel, pandora's kernel and angstrom's kernel come from tmlind's omap kernel branch. Its the easiest to start with until you start compiling your own.

    Booting Ångström From An Sdhc Card?

    There is no distinction between Neuvoo and the different armv7a devices other then the kernel. In that aspect it is like Angstrom and it should "just work" on the Pandora. I am currently using Neuvoo 0.3.0_rc3 on both the Touchbook and Beagleboard. When I get a Pandora I will get that...
