Hi people, before all sorry for my bad english, I am latinoamerican Ambassador, especifically in Venezuelan, I have a smartphone Huawei, Model UM840. Actually is smartphone leader in Movilnet Carrier.
My idea is: Run Fedora in um840 to promote Fedora in my country.
um840 use a ARM11 Family processor, Qualcomm 7200A at 528Mhz with 198mb RAM.
The phone have Android OS (2.1).
if Android is based in Linux Kernel, then I think in port Fedora Linux to phone.
but I have two problems.
- I don't know a bootloader to dual boot (Android + Fedora)
- I don't know How to port Fedora 12 Arm in readable binary image for
smartphone.
Hi Kellerman,
Running a distribution on a phone can be a challenge because drivers for the phone component are generally not available. There are some devices which clearly separate the phone and non-phone sides, and it's easier to load your own software on that type of device.
Perhaps the Fedora Meego people would have some good suggestions?
