This is a tutorial for getting an emulation environment on an Ubuntu system. For other systems see the Installation_guide

Installation

You have to know that there is a great tool to get it running on a linux system, namely the MokoMakefile. This is a sort of wrapper round several instructions, so it is easy to set up and maintain a development environment. If you build the whole MokoMakefile, you will need approximately 12GB, a swap+ram memory of about 1GB and minimum 5 hours time. But we will only build it for Qemu (the emulator that I will use) and that needs (on my system) only 890mb and a 15 min of your time.

To get it running, you will have to tweak your ubuntu a little bit (This will not damage other programs, everything will work as before).

• Open your terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal).
• Enter following command and select NO if it ask to install dash as /bin/sh.

   sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

• Install the needed programs (You will have to enter your password):

   sudo apt-get install monotone git-core cogito python-dev ccache m4 sed bison make cvs gawk libc6-dev g++ subversion sharutils docbook openjade quilt libmpfr-dev libpcre3-dev texinfo texi2html libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-dev zlib1g-dev build-essential dh-make debhelper devscripts gcc-3.4 lynx netpbm libsdl1.2-dev dosfstools help2man python-psyco lynx

Voila your system is ready to get the install the openmoko.

Now we will install Openmoko in a directory by downloading the MokeMakefile in it and build it.

• Create a directory and go into the directory:

   mkdir openmoko
   cd openmoko

• Get the MokoMakefile:

   wget http://www.rwhitby.net/files/openmoko/Makefile

• Make the MokoMakefile and tell it, you want to install it for qemu:

   make qemu

This will download the necessarily files of the lastest release and build them following the MokoMakefile. After that it will start into the emulator for the first time. Voila your have now successfully installed openmoko onto your ubuntu system.

Start Openmoko

• Open your terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal).
• Go to the directory:

   cd openmoko

• starting with the MokoMakefile

   make run-qemu

Now the bootloader will load. There you can choose different options. For select an option you have to press enter (=aux) and to execute it, hit space (=power). Thus if the bootloader shows, you just have to hit the space bar and the phone software will load.

Update Openmoko

• Open your terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal).
• Go to the directory:

   cd openmoko

• Update with the MokoMakefile

   make qemu

Extra

Create a menu item for openmoko

cd ~/openmoko gedit moko.sh

add the following

1. !/bin/bash

cd ~/openmoko make run-qemu

then run chmod +x moko.sh alacarte

and add a menu item with the following values Name: OpenMoko Command: ~/openmoko/moko.sh

Problems

If you have any problems, just add it here

When trying flash-qemu-local, following error occurs:

Same problem here. I'm trying to find a solution. Are you also using ubuntu gutsy?

I've got the Same Problem and i'm not able to find a workaround. Can anyone help?
Elessar 17 October 2007

I got the problem too, again on gusty (beta)

Same here, Gutsy, using MokoMakefile (but flash-qemu-official).

I've asked it into the bugzilla, maybe we will have an answer soon

Same problem, also using gutsy --Jestin 07:54, 31 October 2007 (CET)
I also have this exact problem, using Debian Lenny.

This should be solved by the new qemu images.

When trying run qemu, following error occurs:

   make run-qemu
   ( cd build/qemu && arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm \
       -M neo -m 130 -usb -show-cursor \
       -usbdevice keyboard \
       -mtdblock openmoko/openmoko-flash.image \
       -sd openmoko/openmoko-sd.image \
       -kernel openmoko/openmoko-kernel.bin )
   Could not allocate physical memory
   make: *** [run-qemu] Fehler 1

update: before running make qemu, type /bin/bash and then it works
