ReferencePlatforms/Imaging/Nokia N810

Version 1

This is an interim solution while the booting off memory card possibility is fully explored

Requirements

You will need the following things:

• Nokia N810
• Nokia USB Cable
• Nokia Charger
• PC running Linux
  • ARM binary of mkfs.jffs2
    • available in initfs_flasher.tgz at http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/
  • Nokia's flasher-3.0 program
  • Nokia Official firmware image

Creating image

First, set up nokia exactly as desired. Ignore anything on /media/mmc2 as it will need to be recreated per device. Mount the filesystem in an alternate location

mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /opt

Using the arm binary of mkfs.jffs2 create a new jffs2 filesystem image.

mkfs.jffs2 -r /opt -o /media/mmc2/image.jffs2 -e 128 -l -n

all parameters other than the -o shouldn't change. The -o parameter is the location of the output file. I (jhford) usually insert a flash card and use

mkfs.jffs2 -r /opt -o /media/mmc1/image.jffs2 -e 128 -l -n

If you were wondering, the /media/mmc1 is shadowed by the memory card upon insertion. the original folder will still be visible as /opt/media/mmc1

You now have the image. Transfer that to the linux pc.

==

echo "Turn device completely off, remove battery if needed"
echo "Plug in USB cable"
sudo ./flasher-3.0 --fiasco RX-44*.bin --flash
sudo ./flasher-3.0 --rootfs image.jffs2 --flash
echo "Plug in Power Cable"
echo "Unplug USB Cable"
echo "Turn on device"

Flashing automatically

using moz-flash-simple.sh as root:

./moz-flash-simple.sh -r image.jffs2 -f
