Firefox OS only works on the first gen. Pi. New Pi has new kernel / new drivers / etc. I took some time to work on it but couldn't get it running (only managed to get to the boot screen) and then abandoned the idea. A Cyanogenmod version of Android that runs on the Pi2 would probably help, but it isn't there either. _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
