Ubuntu is actually building 9.04 with: "-march=armv5t -mtune=cortex-a8" (1) so it would work on your Nokia N810 (just not optimal)... Nokia was sponsoring a project called Mojo-Handhelds (2) that did do an optimized 'armv6' version of Ubuntu 8.04, however their future is in question at the moment. > Having a real ARMv7 device would be much better, though.

Have you taken a look at the TI's beagleboard? 5xxMhz ARMv7 cortex-a8? (3) Add a usb harddrive and usb ethernet adapter and they work great for development. I currently have one setup running 24/7 with ssh access available to developers, it's currently building native kernels (beagleboard, omap-3evm, etc) for all the debian variants i work with (debian, mojo, ubuntu) each in a separate chroot. I'm in the process* of adding fedora chroot's, (with an end goal of attempting to build an armv7 variant using the koji build system). * rootfilesystem runs native on the beagle, now just to make the chroot work... 1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.3/+bug/303232 2: http://mojo.handhelds.org/ 3: http://beagleboard.org/ Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ _______________________________________________ fedora-arm mailing list fedora-arm@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-arm
