This image contains an operating system based on Mer with a number of updated packages
systemd 208
Qt 5.2.1
wayland/weston 1.4.0
QtWayland
This is not a fully integrated desktop system so will not be very exciting to end users as it is configured to boot to the command line.
I have had numerous failures trying to upload to openpandora.org so the image can be downloded from
http://images.formeego.org/n810/pandora_mer.raw.zip
unzip the uploaded image and copy to the disk.
This will give an 8Gb raw disk image so you will need a SD card of at least 8Gb.
load the SD card into the first slot.
Add the following entry to your bootmenu.txt file
Boot to Mer (kernel 3.2.53)|setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootdelay=2 vram=6272K omapfb.vram=0:3000K mmc_core.r
emovable=0 quiet'; ext2load mmc 0:1 ${loadaddr} /boot/uImage-3.2.53sz160fb && bootm ${loadaddr}
and reboot into Mer.
The root and mer users have password mer.
login as root
1GHz pandora users will need to switch graphics drivers: run /usr/bin/sgx-select 4.03.00.02_1.6.16_3977
You can start weston with
weston --backend=fbdev-backend.so
click on the terminal icon to get a terminal
The weston programs are installed see /usr/bin/weston-*
You can exit weston with crt-alt-backspace
Qt5 applications can be run in weston with the addition of the option: -platform wayland
or on the console with option: -platform eglfs
For a simple demo app of a rotating mer logo
cd /home/mer/minimer
qmlscene -platform wayland main.qml
I have also include some pandora classic compatibility libraries and extracted a sample PND
cd /mnt/utmp/supertux-1
./supertux
