maemo community,
I have been attempting to follow the latest the latest kernels
developments, with respect to the n800 and n770.
In particular my attention is on the sdhc binary I found on,
http://intr.overt.org/blog/?p=49
(being I recently purchased two 8gig sdhc v4 memory cards) for my n800.
My initial naive mistake was to assume that the binary provided on the
blog above was an install executable similar to that found on the Nokia
down load page or the maemo.org HOWTo Flash page.
Any way I attempted to do the typical flash routine using the
flasher-3.0 with the binary sdhc-kernel.bin
and received a message from the flasher "Invalid FIASCO file header"
After a little more research out on the WEB I found information at,
http://intr.overt.org/n800-sdhc-kernel/
where I looked into the README doc and found it instructing me to follow
the instructions located on the
http://maemo.org/platform/docs/howtos/howto_kernel_guide_bora.html
which brings me to the Kernel guide for maemo.
Q1 do I need to install scratchbox to configure and compile this
particuliar binary to create a Zimage that the flash can handle.
Q2 if so, is it my understanding the point where the binary gets
incorporated is at, "Configure and compile the kernel from sources (step 1)
Q3 is it my understanding that when downloading scratch box is to be
installed on my local linux box and the sources compiled in scratchbox
for the arm device in question? or is scratch box supposed to be
installed on the n800.
I am trying to get a handle on how to go about getting the sdhc kernel
for the n800.
I am sure you can tell by my questions that I am not familiar with using
either scratch box. I am a elementary skilled programmer try to become
familiar with programming arm devices. I hope the community will
indulge me as I attempt to come up to speed on programming the devices.
With respect to the n770 I am running the,
os2006-linux-2.6.16+ipv6+ext2+mmc2gb+mmcplus52Mhz-zImage
on one n770 and am planning to flash the latest image approved for the
n770 found on the maemo web site,
3.2006.49-2 <http://www.maemo.org/downloads/nokia_770> OS 2006 Edition
version 3.2006.49-2 from maemo.org
on the second device. Can any one tell me does the image stated above
support the 52mhz mmc speeds.
I find it difficult to navigate the multiple blogs and sites addressing
these questions.
Is there one spot that demonstrates the accumlative patches and bug
fixes, that I can make better decisions when updating. It seems I spend
more time gathering info then actually getting any thing done.
Sincerely
Jerry Stutte
My question is does the kernel found under HOWTO
FlashLatestNokiaImageWithLinux under Flashing the Nokia 770 link,

I have found two for the n800 supporting sdhc memory cards, one kernel
