Review is pretty good but I think that if we talk about N-series phones, then N900 ir better. Tried it some days ago and I was impressed. Works fast and very good.

if these devices were x86 life would be a lot easier. The images I am getting aren’t even iso files! They are raw JFFS2 partitions.

The problem I had with formating the entire 2gb as swap was figuring out how to get it to be on. Turns out that swapon is only in the super user path, so I can write and enable an init script to take care of enabling the swap.

I hope that this helps solve our test failures!

Interesting post. I have an OLPC XO-1 laptop and the developers labor to provide images that can be used either in built-in NAND flash or on USB or SD cards, and testers who have set up swap partitions or external home still have to make lots of changes. Tools like Fedora and Ubuntu’s Live USB Creator can turn those archaic artifacts known as “boot CD images” into USB file systems, but it’s weird to have to download another 427MB .iso or gzipped dd’d partition when only a few items in the filesystem changed. There’s gotta be a better way!

Instead of creating a swap file on the internal 2GB, can you not just use the entire partition as swap?
mkswap -L swap /dev/mmcblk1p1

P.S. Say “hi” to Aki.
