Nook Color?

[Kurlon]

Someone has already started the heavy lifting, at least partially:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr ... ght=ubuntu

This provides an SDCard that will boot into a butchered Ubuntu Maverick install. Wireless is functional, as is sound. No accelerated GFX yet, etc.

This takes advantage of the fact that the Nook Color will boot a correctly formatted SDCard directly, kinda like how the OXNAS platform will blind boot off SATA if the drive is prepared correctly.

I've got a Nook, a couple x86 linux machines as build slaves, etc, and a GoFlex Net for native ARM work. I'm not a kernel coder by any stretch of the imagination though. I'll post what I find here, and maybe an ALARM port can be stumbled through for the device?

Edit:
For those that hate multi-upload and the crazy banner farm hell it is, someone has hosted the files elsewhere:

seems like nothing ever came of this, shame!

I'd like to get my hands dirty if anyone feels like doing it with me though!

[Kurlon]

I haven't had time to monkey lately. I'm hoping with some of the movement to get more android and arm patches moved to mainline there will be some progress.
