I've a n900 for few days, so I'm hardly testing it and it's good to say that
i'm really happy with it. The device looks really nice.
I'm still writing down a list of bug reports for Nokia about usability
and so on,
but the main impression is good.
The first thing I tried it was to port the flasher. So I moved the
repository into
mercurial. Yeah, pvc is kinda crappy I know. So you can now download the
source of
the flasher from here:
hg clone http://hg.youterm.com/0xFFFF
The last tip implements the n900 device identification via USB and locally.
I have also managed to make the dump of the nand via /dev/mtd. The new
memory layout
is quite cleaner than before. I didnt documented anywhere but it's
something like
XLOADER -> NOLO -> rootfs
they still have the configfs (i will write a parser library for it at
some point),
the Xloader is just used to handle the flasher and load the NOLO which
is actually
a kernel loader with the kernel inside and then jumps tot he UBIfs rootfs.
So, actually they dropped the initfs, secondary.bin and kernel
partitions which is
kinda cleaner and simpler. Good job Nokia :)
