Imaging
If you are working on the linux mobile-imageXX machine, launch
cd ~/n900-imaging sudo ./maemo5-flash.sh moz-n900-v1.ubi #change this file as needed
After each device is flashed, reseat the battery and press the power button. If the home screen is just a black square with dollar sign on a background of water splashes something has gone wrong and the device needs to be reflashed. If there are a lot of things including 'getting started' and 'ovi' on the desktop, tap the black square with $ and run
sudo i NNN #NNN is the numeric portion of the hostname
Wait for the screen to say as the last line
<TIMESTAMPE> INFO:Initialized
then run
sudo reboot
MacBook Setup
To make this go quicker, you can set up your MacBook (or any mac) to be a flashing computer.
Start by setting up the required Mozilla written tools
cd ~ #or wherever you want to work from hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools ln -s tools/buildfarm/mobile/n900-imaging
At this point you need to obtain the following files:
- moz-n900-vNN.ubi - mozilla custom firmware
- RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin
- RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
The easiest way is to run
scp maemo@mobile-image02.build.mozilla.org:n900-imaging/moz-n900-*.ubi . scp maemo@mobile-image02.build.mozilla.org:n900-imaging/RX-51*.bin .
Finally, you need the Mac OS X version of the flasher-3.5 program. Download 'maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2_i386.dmg' from here(live link doesn't work). Next you will need to obtain.
Flashing is the same as working on the linux machine,
sudo ./maemo5-flash.sh moz-n900-v1.ubi #change as required

Creating Image
Once the image has been configured run on the imaging machine:
Get the files off the device
sudo ./grab-image.sh n900-ref.build.mozilla.org moz-n900-v1
NOTE: you have to enter your password multiple times. Please don't set up pubkey authentication.
This process takes approximately 30 minutes
Next, generate the root filesystem image
sudo ./generate-rootfs.sh moz-n900-v1 moz-n900-v1
This takes approximately 1 minute
Finally upload /home filesystem
sudo rsync -av moz-n900-v1-home cltbld@10.250.48.242:/nokimg/ ssh root@10.250.48.242 rm /nokimg/home ssh root@10.250.48.242 ln -s /nokimg/moz-n900-v1-home /nokimg/home
