* b-man: various fixes to merinstaller
* Stskeeps: Beagleboard port, Pocket Loox 720 port, documented some parts of BME protocol, for creating an open hald-addon-bme.
* qwerty12: Created extras-repository package which adds the maemo-extras repository automatically for you in Mer.
* Mention of Mer at "Maemo on Beagleboard" talk at FOSDEM 09, see [http://www.flickr.com/photos/32615155@N00/3263196028/ slide picture]

== Known issues ==

{{#bugzilla:id=4111,4102,4101,4062,4093
|columns=id,severity,product,status,resolution,summary,to
}}

*Bootmenu does not play well with clone-to-SD systems. You will have to make a bootmenu item yourself (ask on #maemo about this) (someone document how to make an .item)
*Sometimes after updates the touchscreen of the tables stop working or isn't calibrated, this is because the 'xserver-xorg-input-synaptics' package are installed, to fix it do "sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics" in a terminal.
*No WiFi on 770 yet.
*X driver for omapfb does not use Manual updates yet and hence can be a bit slow in updating the screen which may give the impression the system is slow.
*Rotation in advanced-backlight kills the X server
*HAL fails to autodetect the model of RX-44 and RX-48 keyboard, and sets the XKB model wrong. To fix, temporarily, go into X terminal and 'setxkbmap -model rx44' and optionally 'setxkbmap -model rx44 -layout LAYOUTNAME', where LAYOUTNAME can be seen in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-44 (fisenoda = nordic)
*A better way to reboot device or shut down than 'sudo reboot' or 'sudo shutdown -h now' or popping the battery is needed.

== Released files and guides ==

Disclaimer:

* '''There is -no- warranty'''. This may blow up your MMC, steal your wife or cause doomsday to come around. But if you find some bugs, please report them on [https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Mer bugs.maemo.org] and we'll try to see what we can do to fix the bug causing it.
* If anything goes wrong, grab a USB cable, and rescue mode is done through holding down Home key when booting Mer (on tablets)

==== Installation (machine) ====

See [[Mer/Documentation/Making_x86_Mer_Bootable]]

=== Nokia N8x0(W) - installer ===

* [http://bsd.tspre.org/~stskeeps/merinstaller.install .install file], use this and it will download proper bootmenu and such.

Guide:

* Open the main menu and tap Utilities -> Install Bootmenu to start the bootmenu install process.
* First, say yes to removing "unneeded extra (and factory testing) stuff"
* say yes to including bootmenu.conf (important). Reboot when done flashing.
* This is a special boot menu where boot menu items are made in /etc/bootmenu.d/*.item and refresh_bootmenu.d will flash this to initfs. '''If you are cloning or booting other OS'es, you'll need to make such .item files''']
* Utilities -> Install Mer and go through the dialogs. The installer will always install the most current release. When done it will reboot and you can hold down menu/swap key and boot into Mer.

==== Guide ====

(these instructions need testing)

You will need at least a 1gb MMC, and these instructions are based on OS2008HE kernel.

Partition MMC to:

*p1: Large ext3 partition first
*p2: 256 MB swap partition second

Grab http://packages.tspre.org/pool/user/b/bootmenu/bootmenu_1.5-1_armel.deb and install it.

* Open the main menu and tap Utilities -> Install Bootmenu to start the bootmenu install process.
* First, say yes to removing "unneeded extra (and factory testing) stuff"
* say yes to including bootmenu.conf (important). Reboot when done flashing.
* This is a special boot menu where boot menu items are made in /etc/bootmenu.d/*.item and refresh_bootmenu.d will flash this to initfs. '''If you are cloning or booting other OS'es, you'll need to make such .item files'''

Grab e2fsprogs and install it - grab gnutar as well

*umount /mnt/mer
*Make /etc/bootmenu.d/mer.item with the following contents:

<pre>
ITEM_NAME="Mer"
ITEM_ID="mer"
ITEM_DEVICE="mmcblk0p1"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,ro"
ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc"
</pre>
*refresh_bootmenu.d (say yes to reflashing, no to backup of initfs. reboot)
*Hold down Menu key when prompted while booting and select Mer in the boot menu.

=== BeagleBoard port ===

* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.8/mer-armel-beagleboard-bootfs-v0.8.tar.gz Boot filesystem], contains uImage (kernel packaged for uboot), for latest uboot.
* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.8/mer-armel-beagleboard-rootfs-v0.8.tar.gz Root filesystem]

==== Guide ====

* Make sure you are running a RECENT uBoot, and you have USB input devices like keyboard or mouse, if you don't own a touchscreen..
* Make a SD card, partitioned with 50mb FAT as first partition, extract boot fs on this, and the rest Linux partition, format this as ext3, and extract rootfs on this.
* In uBoot, use the following commands (you may have to adjust video= parameter to match your display screen:

<pre>
setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80300000 uImage; bootm 0x80300000'
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS2,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=2 rootfstype=ext3 ro video=omapfb:mode:1280x720@60'
saveenv
boot
</pre>

* The tablet should output kernel output on serial and on video, and on HDMI out it will eventually start X and show the First Boot Wizard. Good luck.

=== Pocket Loox 720 port (experimental) ===

* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.8/mer-armel-pocketloox720-kernel-v0.8.zImage zImage]
* [http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0.8/mer-armel-pocketloox720-v0.8.tar.gz rootfs]

==== Guide ====

* Set up a SD card with a logical partition, and inside this logical partition, make a 50mb or so FAT partition (p5), and put the zImage file on this filesystem, name it zImage. After the logical partition, make a ext3 partition (p2), and untar rootfs on it.
* Grab [http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET HaRET] and put it on the FAT partition, HaRET.exe.
* Make a file, startup.txt, with the following contents:

<pre>
set kernel "zImage"
set mtype "617"
set RAMADDR "0xa8000000"
set cmdline "mem=128M rootdelay=1 root=b302 rw console=tty0"
boot
</pre>

* Unmount all filesystems, insert SD card into Pocket Loox, boot by running HaReT.exe
* Experimental release, if you want to play with this - come hang out on #mer on irc.freenode.net and we'll try to guide you along. It is a 640x480 screen so our theme won't fit.

Mer

2008-12-16T21:33:22Z

78.86.35.231: /* December tasks */

"Mer" is an experimental project, where an attempt of "reconstructing" the Maemo platform is done, based on the proposal on [[Maemo_Reconstructed]]. Mer means ocean in French, "more" in Danish, etc.. New blueprint for discussion can be found at [[Mer_Blueprint_New]].

== Roadmap ==

=== Iteration 1 (done) ===

'''Idea''': Build as much of Maemo trunk we can, adapt to Ubuntu, chaos coding, [http://jaiku.com/channel/reconstructedPOC microdocument through Jaiku], and make it work and run. Name was M-R PoC.

'''Results''': 123MB flash for minimal Ubuntu base system, Xorg omapfb driver, tslib Hildon on top. Possible to do things like:

* [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v119/JohnX/hildon-desktop-quicknote-menuxwd.png Hildon Desktop with Quicknote]
* [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v119/JohnX/hildon-desktop-gqviewxwd.png Hildon Desktop with GQView]

A choice was made to restart and do things by the book. We originally based on Mojo Handhelds Ubuntu port to ARM.

=== Iteration 2: Mer Alpha ===

'''Mer''': Provide a experimental system for Maemo community use, as a playground to try out new technologies and ideas on. Give community a voice in system architecture and continued development of the Maemo platform post Fremantle. Give the community ability to give documented, researched input to the development process of Maemo. Mer should be cross-platform, both for i386, armel, and not rely on running on specific devices.

'''Upstream distribution''': Ubuntu 'Jaunty' for ARM and i386. Experiment with VFP/optimized versions (use of hwcap) for libraries that would benefit from it.
Maemo trunk.

'''Development process''': Use of [http://launchpad.net/m-r Launchpad]. Everything must be done in bzr branches and published in the m-r project on Launchpad. Use of [http://merbuilder.jaiku.com builders], which only accepts bzr branches and source packages and are primary uploaders to repository. Packages must compile in both i386 and armel ideally.

[http://jaiku.com/channel/reconstructedPOC Microdocumentation] is still done in Jaiku.

'''Repository''': http://repository.mer.tspre.org/ as primary repository. Mirrors should be added.

==== Phase 1: Infrastructure setup ====

* Set up launchpad.net project (done).
* Set up APT repository (done)
* Set up i386 and armel builders (qemu and or beagleboard), which relies on clean buildd chroots (done)

Builder works by first attempting to generate a source package from a bzr branch (after getting build dependancies) in a buildd chroot, to make sure the packages are sane. Then it builds i386 and lets this do the binary i386 and binary indep packages. Then it lets the armel builder(s) do their job on compiling the package. This way we have an early warning if a package does not compile at all instead of wasting hours on waiting for armel builder to fail.

==== Phase 2: Establishing base system ====

* Create bzr branches for Maemo trunk packages and push them to launchpad.
* Compile these for i386, armel (first glib, then gtk, then .. ending with a full hildon desktop, python-desktop), and builder will upload to repository.
* Establish which dependancies applications targetting the Maemo platform, use, that are not OSS or dbus wrappers. What are the portability problems of the Maemo platform.
* Establish system architecture and abstractions (DSME, MCE, HAL, OHM, etc), must take into consideration the cross-platform nature of Mer.
* Establish where Mer begins and where it ends in terms of what does the generic platform include, and which is platform-specific / vendor-specific.
* Establish what constitutes stable packages for inclusion into beta/testing
* Establish what our relation to Maemo is, - Maemo council as governing body?
* Establish how Maemo packages conflict with desktop elements of upstream. (libgnomevfs, maemo GTK), and how these can work together.
* Establish how close we are to being like Maemo, by trying to build packages from Extras (mer-extras?)
* Work on image builders for the following targets:
** N8x0 tar.gz (compat with N8x0 bootmenu-svn initfs), fully open source
** N8x0 tar.gz (compat with N8x0 bootmenu-svn initfs), with value adders such as wifi/bluetooth firmware drivers, hald-addon-bme, gps driver, adobe flash, .. other apps, to show the ability of differentation
** N8x0 jffs2 rootfs (for QEMU-N8x0 emulation)
** BeagleBoard jffs2 rootfs
** i386 tar.gz (targeting Intel D945GCLF2 board)
** 770 tar.gz (compact with bootmenu-svn initfs), installable on RS-MMC.

==== Phase 3a: User interface ====

* Theming (Plankton is one theme, but what other exists that are redistributable)
* Icon sets (open license, redistributable)
* Control panels
* Translations?
* Systemui (normally seen when charging, or when pressing power button, or when you're locking your screen). Powerlaunch will be used for this.
* Experimental interactions? TV screen and wiimote?
* Tech demos: Mer on Beagleboard, netbook, ASUS Eee Top (touch?), N8x0, 770, Pandora, Zaurus, x86+TV screen

==== Phase 3b: Experimental system use ====

* Rescue menu & bootmenu
* Clone-to-SD
* Unionfs use
* USB networking, Bluetooth PAN
* NTP synchronization
* .. others

== Appendixes ==

=== Contributing to Mer ===

The purpose of Mer is to support future OS development done in the tablet community and to aid in helping Maemo to be more in alignment with standard distributions and serve as an experimental community platform..

If you'd like to start contributing to Mer in any way:

* Get a Jaiku account (mail carsten.munk at gmail.com if you want an invite)
* Join the #reconstructedPOC channel on Jaiku, and microdocument your Mer related activities.
* Get a launchpad.net account.
* Ideally, if possible, hang out on #maemo on IRC, irc.freenode.net
* Participate in getting the blueprints for Mer made as described in Roadmap.

We are currently in need of:

* Maemo package porters (help getting the Maemo released source compiling and working in Mer.)
* People interested in system architecture (initfs, MCE, DSME, etc.)
* People with other devices than N8x0s that runs Linux that could benefit from Mer. (>= ARMv5t, x86 preferred
* Someone who can investigate the use of HWCAP, how can some libraries be compiled for ARMv7 and distributed alongside non-ARMv7 libs? What libraries benefit?
* People with community feel - working out the formalities, procedures for example, how can vendors work with a Mer style distribution?, how does one gain upload rights. Mer Extras or not? Mer PPA?
* Powerlaunch (powerlaunch.garage.maemo.org) scripters - possibly our systemui
* People interested in integrating non-hildon apps into hildon - and integrating Mer/Maemo UI parts into other DE's
* Theme and icon designers (open themes, icons)
* Launchpad maintainers
* Repository mirrors
* .. someone who can make a proper logo.

.. and more to come. But, please remember. Mer is '''not''':

* A Maemo competitor - Mer is meant as a proof of concept to research in what directions may be feasible and which may not be, to serve as properly researched and documented community input to the Maemo platform. To be able to show what the Maemo platform is capable of.
* An Nokia/Maemo-backed effort, - 100% done by tablet enthusiasts
* Something that is installable here and now
* Ready for use

=== Guidelines for branching a Maemo package ===

'''For packages on https://stage.maemo.org/viewcvs.cgi/projects/?root=maemo'''

* Rule: When we are branching Maemo packages, we branch the tags (released packages). We have to respect the author's choice to release when they think the package is stable enough for release and we should not follow trunk unless it is absolutely needed (and justified in changelog)
* There might be certain exceptions in repository pre this rule was made, but this should stable out eventually
* Get bzr, bzr-svn, and run: '''bzr svn-branching-scheme --set https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo''' and set it to:

<pre>
projects/connectivity/*/tags/*
projects/connectivity/*/trunk
projects/connectivity/*/branches/*
projects/email/*/tags/*
projects/email/*/trunk
projects/email/*/branches/*
projects/haf/trunk/*
projects/haf/tags/*/*
projects/haf/branches/*/*
</pre>

To branch a Maemo package, example, https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/tags/epeg/0.9.0.005maemo0/

<pre>
$ bzr branch https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/tags/epeg/0.9.0.005maemo0/ epeg
$ cd epeg
$ cat debian/control # What is the source package called? SOURCE from now on.
$ bzr push lp:~LAUNCHPADUSERNAME/m-r/SOURCE
</pre>

So, a new version comes out of epeg, https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/tags/epeg/0.9.0.005maemo1/

<pre>
$ cd epeg
$ bzr merge https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/tags/epeg/0.9.0.005maemo1/
$ bzr commit -m "merged upstream changes from 0.9.0.005maemo1"
$ bzr push # upload changes to launchpad
</pre>

'''For packages on http://repository.maemo.org/pool/diablo/'''

* Retrieve the tar.gz, .diff.gz (if applies), .dsc, and dpkg-source -x *.dsc, source package hereby named SOURCE
* cd into the unpacked directory
* bzr init
* bzr add
* bzr commit -m "initial commit of <VERSION OF PACKAGE>"
* bzr push lp:~LAUNCHPADUSERNAME/m-r/SOURCE # upload to launchpad

=== Porting a Maemo package to Mer ===

* Follow the branching guidelines above
* Verify ./configure exists in source package.
* If not, verify an autogen.sh is mentioned in debian/rules. If it isn't, add NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh before the ./configure call.
* In both cases, verify the source package has autoconf, libtool and automake as build dependancies
* If you change anything in the package, make sure to edit it in debian/changelog, use "merX" as suffix on versions. where X is the version of your changes. Make sure to document what you did in bzr commit -m "<Message>"
* When you pull new upstream version, make sure versions are aligned in the changelog (merX on the newest version)
* Verify it builds using dpkg-buildpackage.

=== Getting your package included in the Repository ===

* Make sure it compiles after getting your build dependancies, dpkg-buildpackage.
* Ideally test both dpkg-buildpackage -S -us -uc, dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc, dpkg-buildpackage -B (some packages may not build any arch-dep packages, so that's ok. Microdocument it on Jaiku.)
* bzr export <source package name> lp:~yourusername/m-r/<source package name> (gives you a checked out version, without metadata)
* cd <source package name>
* dpkg-buildpackage -S -us -uc, to generate a source package
* Upload the resulting source package (*.changes, *.tar.gz, possibly *.diff.gz) to your ~/incoming on the repo server.
* ssh yourlogin@reposerver /import-new-packages

(This will add the source package to repository)

* You need access to merbuilder & repository upload for the following, ask Stskeeps on Jaiku/IRC for this. Or refer on Jaiku to the source package and some may pick it up
* On http://jaiku.com/channel/merbuilder , write "build <SOURCE PACKAGE NAME>"
* Monitor progress at http://merbuilder.jaiku.com
* An LP player notes that it has picked up a package for building at a certain builder
* A toast means it baked properly on this architecture. And is uploaded to repository.
* A heart means it built properly on all architectures. And is uploaded to the repository
* A bomb means it failed to build on an architecture.
* A shopping wagon means it has noticed your build request and queued it.

=== Tainted branches on BZR ===

The following branches on launchpad, under ~carsten-munk/m-r are tainted - as in, it is not possible to sanely bzr merge with new updates from the Maemo SVN repository, due to late discovery of '''bzr svn-branching-scheme'''. If a new version come out or you want to alter the package, please branch off the tags in the repository and upload a branch of your own. The resulting packages are fine, but the uploaded branches are not feasible for distributed work.

=== Draft: System architecture ===

==== System Init ramdisk / Initfs / etc. ====

Reference from proposal: http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_Reconstructed#Boot_process

Mer devices will normally after booting kernel, to have a proper "device" feel, have a start up phase and a failsafe, to prevent reboot loops, load device drivers for mounting the actual rootfs, rescue operations, etc.

The initfs can take multiple forms, - a jffs2, a cpio initrd (http://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/projects/loadlin/loadlin-1.6/initrd.txt), and so on.

The purpose of the initfs is to bring the device and the system to such a state that the actual Mer system can run.

===== Device State Management Entity =====

Description based loosely on Nokia's DSME, abstracted away from hardware specifics. Actual implementation may be based on the open source release of DSME when it comes out (hopefully around Fremantle alpha SDK)

Purpose:
* Handle pre-HAL/D-BUS/OHM functionality. It is booted up in initfs, as it is the most basic service Mer provides to provide the device feel.
* Provide a simple communication interface through a unix socket (stream) in initfs.
* Provide a module interface for loadable shared objects, which can register hooks in communication interface, hook into event loop/timers, etc. Modules should ideally document their interface. Vendors should strive towards generic interfaces, and differ on the implementation/act instead.
* Module API should be stable but extensible as to make vendor closed-source plugins possible, without harming upgrade possibility.

Mandatory functionality (in modules possibly):
* Early system logger, storing reboot/wd reasons
* Timeout for system startup, if system does not start up, show a message/icon, reboot?
* Preventing reboot loops
* Handling "why was the system booted" (bootreason), and providing this information to the OS.
* Way to make DSME exit gracefully, in case of non-Mer systems replacing DSME
* Aiding HW/Mer-(self) test (why does my system not boot)

Potential uses:
* Hardware watchdog
* Software watchdog?
* Process watchdog (does this belong in upstart?)
* Pre-HAL hardware access (icon+text display?)

== SB1 SDK Guide ==

First, install Diablo SDK, and add yourself as a user to scratchbox.

As user:
* wget -c http://scratchbox.org/~jhakala/unofficial/scratchbox-toolchain-arm-linux-cs2008q3-72_1.0.8-1_i386.deb
* sudo dpkg -i scratchbox-toolchain-arm-linux-cs2008q3-72_1.0.8-1_i386.deb (run as root)
* sb-conf setup MER-ARMEL --compiler=arm-linux-cs2008q3-72 --devkits=debian-etch:cputransp --cputransp=qemu-arm-cvs-m -f
* sb-conf reset -f MER-ARMEL
* sb-conf select MER-ARMEL
* sb-conf rootstrap MER-ARMEL http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/mer-rootstrap-armel-v5.tar.gz
* sb-conf install MER-ARMEL --etc --devkits

ISSUES:
* You might have to do export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig to get some pkg-config stuff going
* devkit is debian etch and does not support .deb "Debs" option. Ubuntu devkit is needed.
* You might have to set cpu right and such to target armv5el (no vfp)

== December tasks ==

If you undertake one of these tasks, write your nickname in "Assigned to" and when you committed to this task, and when you're done, mark it as done, and add additional information about task result. When "debian package" without any mention of binary is made, it is meant a source package.

Modifying the root image

2008-11-15T16:08:53Z

78.86.35.231: /* Kernel memory emulating an MTD device */

This article describes two methods for extending and modifying an existing tablet JFFS2 root image.

== Background ==
The root filesystem (rootfs) of the tablets is stored in a Journal Flash File System version 2 (JFFS2) format. It resides on one of the partitions on the flash chip in the device. Additionally, a pristine version of the rootfs can be obtained from the [http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/ Nokia official firmware] site.

There are two ways to mount the JFFS2 image:
#Have a block device emulate a Memory Technology Device (MTD) via block2mtd.
#Have kernel memory emulate a MTD via mtdram.

Note that for a host kernel config you need to enable mtd device support to access/enable jffs2 filesystem support.

== Getting the JFFS2 image ==
First of all, we need to get the rootfs.jffs2 from the official [http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/ Nokia FIASCO image]. After downloading the FIASCO image, run this on it to unpack it (this will give you all of the individual parts of the image):

sudo ./flasher-3.0 --unpack -F <FIASCO image>

== Mounting the JFFS2 image ==
These commands will be executed with root privileges on the host machine and not on the device itself.

=== Block device emulating an MTD device ===
You must have the following kernel modules compiled and installed:

'''Memory Technology Device (MTD) support --->'''
*CONFIG_MTD ( Memory Technology Device (MTD) support )
*CONFIG_MTDBLOCK ( Caching block device access to MTD devices )
*CONFIG_MTD_PARITIONS ( MTD partitioning support )
'''Self-contained MTD device drivers ---> '''
*CONFIG_MTD_MTDRAM ( Test driver using RAM )
*CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK2MTD ( MTD using block device )
'''Block devices --->'''
*CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP ( Loopback device support )
'''File systems --->Miscellaneous filesystems --->'''
*CONFIG_JFFS2_FS ( Journalling Flash File System v2 (JFFS2) support )
*CONFIG_JFFS2_LZO ( Advanced compression options for JFFS2 --> LZO compression support )

I suggest you do not make these modules statically linked into the kernel. It is more practical to be able to unload these modules when not needed or when you want to start over from scratch.

You will use the loopback device (/dev/loop[0-15]) to simulate a block device whose contents are from the JFFS2 image. To mount the JFFS2 image, you perform the following steps:

mknod /tmp/mtdblock0 b 31 0
modprobe loop
losetup /dev/loop0 rootfs.jffs2
modprobe mtdblock
modprobe block2mtd
# Note the ,128KiB is needed (on 2.6.26 at least) to set the eraseblock size.
echo "/dev/loop0,128KiB" > /sys/module/block2mtd/parameters/block2mtd
modprobe jffs2
# check dmesg
mount -t jffs2 /tmp/mtdblock0 /media/jffs2
# check dmesg again - if the above mount results in any errors there is a problem...

To unmount and cleanup:

umount /media/jffs2
modprobe -r block2mtd
modprobe -r mtdblock
losetup -d /dev/loop0

Or use the [[#Shell_script_to_mount/unmount_JFFS2_using_block_device_emulating_MTD|automated shell script]].

=== Kernel memory emulating an MTD device ===

Note that mtdram requires 88mb of raw ram on a 2gb system to mount a ~2Mb initfs image [Faheem Pervez on -dev ml], it probably won't work well with a rootfs!

Use total_size=85892 for mtdram if 65536 is too little.

However, if you insist... to mount the JFFS2 image, you perform the following steps:

mknod /tmp/mtdblock0 b 31 0
modprobe mtdblock
modprobe mtdram total_size=65536 erase_size=256
modprobe jffs2
dd if=/pathtoimage/rootfs.jffs2 of=/tmp/mtdblock0
mkdir /media/jffs2
mount -t jffs2 /tmp/mtdblock0 /media/jffs2

To unmount and cleanup:

umount /media/jffs2
modprobe -r jffs2
modprobe -r mtdram
modprobe -r mtdblock

Or use the [[Modifying_the_root_image#Shell_script_to_mount.2Funmount_JFFS2_using_kernel_memory_emulating_MTD|automated shell script]].

== Archiving and extracting the rootfs image ==
The image is now accessible under /media/jffs2. Copy the whole image to another directory. This new directory will be used for modifying the image. Extending the currently mounted JFFS2 image is not suggested. Using cp for copying the image to a working directory won't work due to special files in /media/jffs2/dev, which is why we use tar.

cd /media/jffs2
tar cvzf /my_path/myRootImage.tar.gz .
cd $HOME
mkdir myRootImage
cd myRootImage
tar xvpzf /my_path/myRootImage.tar.gz

== Repacking the image ==
[http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/2-x/howto_use_flasher_rootfs.html Using the flasher utility and creating the reference root file system]

== Modifying the copy of the image ==
Now the image is successfully archived and copied. The working directory $HOME/myRootImage can now be used for adding, changing or modifying packages.

cd $HOME/myRootImage
dpkg -x $HOME/arm_debs/mypackage_arm.deb .

Now we create a new tarball from the working directory of the image.

cd $HOME/myRootImage
tar cvzf $HOME/myNewRootImage.tar.gz .

== Making the actual jffs2 image ==

''This was done on a Ubuntu Hardy system and was only done to make an initfs image successfully. I can't ensure this will work (though in theory, it should do) for creating an rootfs.''

<ol><li>Install mtd-tools which contains the required mkfs.jffs2.</li></ol>
:<pre> sudo apt-get install mtd-tools </pre>
<ol start="2"><li>Run:</li></ol>
:<pre> sudo mkfs.jffs2 -r myRootImage -o myRootImage.jffs2 -e 128 -l -n </pre>

Where ''myRootImage'' is the root of your new filesystem and ''myRootImage.jffs2'' is the name of the output file. -e 128 specifies a erase size of 128KiB. 128KiB is the correct erase size for the initfs. It should be correct for a rootfs too, because:

''Dump of /proc/mtd from N800 running diablo''
<pre>
dev: size erasesize name
...
mtd3: 00400000 00020000 "initfs"
mtd4: 0f980000 00020000 "rootfs"
</pre>

As you can see, the erase size number for the rootfs and initfs is the same. Don't get put off by the 00020000 number either, 128 is the '''correct''' number for the -e mkfs.jffs2 argument.

== Installing on the tablet ==
When the new tarball is created, Using flasher and the reference root filesystem for creating JFFS2 image from the myNewRootImage.tar.gz.

Use flasher to install the image on the tablet.

./flasher-3.0 -r rootfs.jffs2 --f -R

== Shell script to mount/unmount JFFS2 using block device emulating MTD ==
Create a shell script (mount_jffs2.sh) from the following:
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
JFFSIMG=$1 # jffs image
LOOP="/dev/loop1" # loop device
MP="/media/jffs2" # mount point
MTDBLOCK="/tmp/mtdblock0" # MTD device file
KVER="2.6"
BLKMTD="block2mtd"
UMNT=""

echo "$0" | grep unmount_ >/dev/null 2>&1
[ $? -eq 0 ] && UMNT=1
if [ $# -gt 1 -a x"$2"x = x"unmount"x ]; then
UMNT=1
fi

uname -r | egrep '^2\.6' >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
KVER="2.4"
BLKMTD=blkmtd
fi

if [ x"${UMNT}"x = x""x ]; then
if [ ! -b ${MTDBLOCK} ] ; then
mknod ${MTDBLOCK} b 31 0 || exit 1
fi
lsmod | grep loop >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 [; then
modprobe loop
[ $? -ne 0 ] && echo "loopback loading failed" && exit 1
sleep 1
fi
losetup ${LOOP} ${JFFSIMG} || exit 1
sleep 1
modprobe mtdblock
if [ x"${KVER}"x = x"2.4"x [; then
modprobe ${BLKMTD} device=${LOOP} || exit 1
else
modprobe ${BLKMTD} || exit 1
echo "${LOOP}" > /sys/module/block2mtd/parameters/block2mtd
fi
sleep 1
modprobe jffs2
[ ! -d ${MP} ] && mkdir -p ${MP}
mount -t jffs2 ${MTDBLOCK} ${MP} || exit 1
else
umount ${MP}
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Cannot unmount JFFS2 at $MP" && exit 1
fi
modprobe -r jffs2
modprobe -r ${BLKMTD}
modprobe -r mtdblock
sleep 1
losetup -d ${LOOP}
fi
</pre>
Make sure you chmod a+x mount_jffs2.sh to make the shell script executable.

Usage:

./mount_jffs2.sh rootfs.jffs2

You can also use this script to unmount and unload the non-utilized kernel modules and loopback reference:
./mount_jffs2.sh rootfs.jffs2 unmount

== Shell script to mount/unmount JFFS2 using kernel memory emulating MTD ==
Create a shell script (mount_jffs2.sh) from the following:
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
JFFSIMG=$1 # jffs image
MP="/media/jffs2" # mount point
MTDBLOCK="/tmp/mtdblock0" # MTD device file
UMNT=""

echo "$0" | grep unmount_ >/dev/null 2>&1
[ $? -eq 0 ] && UMNT=1
if [ $# -gt 1 -a x"$2"x = x"unmount"x ]; then
UMNT=1
fi

if [ x"${UMNT}"x = x""x ]; then
if [ ! -b ${MTDBLOCK} ] ; then
mknod ${MTDBLOCK} b 31 0 || exit 1
fi
modprobe mtdblock
modprobe mtdram total_size=65536 erase_size=256
modprobe jffs2
dd if=${JFFSIMG} of=${MTDBLOCK}
[ ! -d ${MP} ] && mkdir -p ${MP}
mount -t jffs2 ${MTDBLOCK} ${MP}
else
umount ${MP}
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Cannot unmount JFFS2 at $MP" && exit 1
fi
modprobe -r jffs2
modprobe -r mtdram
modprobe -r mtdblock
fi
</pre>
Make sure you chmod a+x mount_jffs2.sh to make the shell script executable.

Usage:
./mount_jffs2.sh rootfs.jffs2

You can also use this script to unmount and unload the non-utilized kernel modules:
./mount_jffs2.sh rootfs.jffs2 unmount
