Re: Linux on Nokia

But, what is the OS and processor currently present in 7650 + memory capacity? I think, those details could enable me to give u a full in-depth idea regarding linux on Nokia.

You might want to have a look at OpenEmbedded if you are looking for a decent build system for the basic distribution, tools and GUI.

Hello, I've found this infos:

Not that much for the basic system plus GUI- at least not for installing additional software data like addressbook etc.

Is this the memory also used for the operating system ? Or is it in a different section ? Is it FlashRAM ?

Sufficient...

Interesting- gives an additional challenge in bringing the basic sysytem on the device. All attempts I know about start with Windows Mobile on it.

Hi The Nokia 7650 has...

By ROM- is a real ROM meant here or is it a Flash"ROM" ? A standard ROM is a knockout for port attempts as you'd need to burn an EPROM with the basic operating sytem.

Not much.

Again not that much taking in account that the /tmp and /var file systems are usually mount as ram disks to prevent frequent write access on the flash.

And yes, one would need to implement a phoning software which supports the device specifica. In the end the usability would be less than before and porting Qtopia Phone Edition does cost efforts and money.
