[maemo-developers] L4 linux on Nokia n800

[From: Kamal Kant Gupta]

Hi

Hi

I am a Phd Student, looking for a possibility of running L4 (with linux on top) in Nokia n800.

I read the notes: "how to compile kernel" on maemo.org but it seems to me that they are talking of a particular kernel namely "kernel-source-2.6.12.3" and all the documentation are in relevance to that. So, is it possible to simply get the image of L4 for ARMv6 (with linux) and run it.

In particular, I want to know

1) Nokia n800 has a arm bootloader ?

2) What is wrong in saying, I can have .bin image of my (L4 with linux) kernel (ofcourse for ARMv6 arch) and let the bootloader to boot ?

3) What if above is not possible, to flush off bootloader and install bootloader from handheld.org namely from this website "http://www.handhelds.org/handhelds-faq/getting-started.html" and then use my above image to boot... Will it going to work ?

Thanks in advance
Regards,
Kamal
