Interested in helping Linux/Android development?

Well, I've never done this before either, but I feel up to the challenge. I'll post what I find as I find it.

How far has everyone else gotten? It starts to boot for me, I see the typical linux boot up (lots of scrolling text) followed by a reboot.

That`s about it.

same here. boots up. and halts for a bit and then reboots. why does it reboot? not compatible? can't see the small text clearly.

Did I say anything about Android booting? :P

It's just proof of concept atm, we're still only barely scratching the surface of true kernel support. The next few revisions we should start seeing treo pro being supported.

The work is based on the CDMA TP, is there anbody interested in linux development for gsm TP?

[acidhax]

They'll both be included. As of right now they're just trying to start off with CDMA. Both models will be supported.

to get a preview of a booting android it's pretty simple...

1) download the utb android pack from here...
http://www.connect-utb.com/index.php...d=53:android-1

2) extract to the root of your memory card and rename zImage-RAPH800-2009-10-14 to zImage (delete the other zImage)

3) run haret.exe from file explorer..around 300 seconds later it will boot into the user interface of android (during boot there are alot of error messages that are a result from the hardware keyboard not being initialized correctly).

can't do very much b/c the resolution if too large. if you can go to the wave or irc channel and ask phusson to help test it out. he's willing to help but i've been to busy to work on it more.

it's a raphael-diamond port. did you do a run on a treo pro? did it boot? well, it it did work, this is a great step. next step is to debug the errors
