As I hinted in my previous post, I started working on adding N800 and N810 support to mainline kernels. I have now a four week long summer vacation (the best part living in Finland) and this is a perfect vacation project, simple enough so that I can work only for an hour at a time.
I created a wiki page for what needs to be done and what problems there will be. Please take a look and update it as needed. I also sent an email to linux-omap list in a hope to get contributors. It would be nice to finally have mainline kernels supporting N800 and N810.
Disclaimer: This is a personal project of mine, Nokia is not involved in any way. So expect progress to be slow.

any chance of including 770?
July 13, 2009 at 10:47 |
770 support is already in mainline, see arch/arm/configs/n770_defconfig. I haven’t tested it myself, though.

Remember us at Maemo Summit to buy you a beer for all your good work :)

It might be that the board of directors (read: my wife) won’t approve the trip to Maemo Summit this year, but thanks anyway :)

Thank you!

Oh, full support in a modern kernel would be simply wonderful!

It depends what you mean with full support. Full support with diablo user space will be difficult, but full support using standard user space interfaces should be doable. Let’s see how it goes.

simply awesome

Thanks for your work!!!
July 16, 2009 at 10:23 |
Don’t thank me yet, there’s quite a lot of work to do first :)

Wow, you’re doing this in your own time? Thank you, good to know that there are some Nokians that remember the N800 exists.
July 16, 2009 at 10:24 |
I certainly haven’t forgotten N800. I find it as a great development platform for Linux wireless related work.

Thank you! Between this and the Mer stuff, my N810 just keeps getting better!

How much of this did you get done this summer?

There has been some progress, fortunately others also helped. But still a lot to do. The current status is here:
