OpenMoko 2007.2 on Palm TX (UPDATE!!!)

After a few days with some problems to build an OpenMoko *.ext2 image for my TX I get the new UI run on the Palm TX!

Here is a quick guide:

Get the TX-Kernel from here and unpack all to the SD-card.
Download the rootfs, copy to the /linux folder on your card and rename to rootfs.ext2 or build your on rootfs with the MokoMakefile (you have to edit the /build/conf/local.conf and set MACHINE=”palmtx”, IMAGE_FSTYPES = “ext2″, IMAGE_ROOTFS_SIZE_ext2=102400)
Edit /etc/Xserver to adjust the DPI settings and add:
“Palm TX”)
ARGS=”$ARGS -dpi 150 -screen 320×480 -hide-cursor -root-ppm /usr/share/pixmaps/xsplash.ppm” ;;
Generate a swap file: dd if=/dev/zero of=swap.fs bs=1024 count=65536 and copy it to the /linux directory on your card.
Tap Cocoboot and see OpenMoko booting!

I want to thank Marex, |miska| from Hack&Dev and the guys from OpenMoko IRC for their help!

Greetings, zefanja

Schau mal: http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/07/01/openmoko-on-a-treo-650/
Die GSM Unterstützung wird wohl meiner Meinung nach für immer auf sich warten lassen.

So this is a quick guide, is there a Long guide easy to understand?
This would be pretty smoking cool if I could get it working.

Could you either make a guide or email me all the created files (Swap files and such) and a quick guide?
Thanks

ok…some people ask for a more detailed guide: I think the guide is clear enough.

Download the tx-kernel from the first link and then build your own rootfs with the MokoMakefile or download the image I build (its from Sep 2007). To do Step 3 you need a ssh connection to your TX. Search “usb networking” in wiki.openmoko.org. Run Step 4 your linux terminal.

Openmoko on TX is slow, maybe very slow.

the image is a 2007.2 one. But I recommend you to build a knew one because things changed and new apps are availible. You can also build a qtopia image with OpenEmbedded or the MokoMakefile.
