Current status:

  • booting Archos kernel release (2.6.27.10 OpenAOS tree)
    • with backported PVR GPU driver
  • working image of MeeGo Core and Handset trunk
  • working USB Eth networking
  • working WiFi connectivity
  • working OMAP3 PowerVR EGL 3D acceleration
  • MeeGo ConnMan does not detect tiwlan_drv driver as WiFi capable

After booting plug the USB cable and issue the following commands (under Linux) to get shell access:

$ sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.14 netmask 255.255.255.0
$ ssh root@192.168.2.15
root@192.168.2.15's password: meego
[root@localhost ~]#

WiFi

Create /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf :

fast_reauth=1
network={
 ssid="MyExampleWEPNetwork"
 scan_ssid=1
 key_mgmt=NONE
 wep_key0=12345678901234567890123456
 wep_tx_keyidx=0
}
network={
 ssid="MyExamplePSKNetwork"
 #psk="PasswordToRemember"
 psk="Use: wpa_passphrase MyExamplePSKNetwork PasswordToRemember"
}

Add the following to /etc/rc.local :

#WiFi
wpa_supplicant -B -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -iwlan0 -Dwext
dhclient wlan0
sed -i 's/^nameserver.*/nameserver 192.168.X.X/' /etc/resolv.conf

You need to set nameserver manually, because MeeGo dhclient is broken.
