OpenMoko 2007.2 on Palm TX (UPDATE!!!)

By zefanja

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:

  1. Get the TX-Kernel from here and unpack all to the SD-card.
  2. 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)
  3. 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“ ;;
  4. 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.
  5. Tap Cocoboot and see OpenMoko booting!


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