After Day 1, the rest will follow soon – in the next few days, we will post the next steps leading to the first release of MeeGo in May.
The images available today are: Intel Atom-based netbooks, ARM-based Nokia N900, and Intel Atom-based handset (Moorestown). These images can be downloaded from http://meego.com/downloads
The corresponding package (RPM) repositories are at repo.meego.com/MeeGo and the git source repositories are available at http://meego.gitorious.org/. Bugzilla is at http://bugzilla.meego.com/
Please download, test, and provide feedback. The wiki on meego.com and the MeeGo mailing lists are excellent ways to share information and ask questions.
We’ll post a proposed timeline soon which should answer your questions about opening the user experience, applications, and application framework repositories. For now, please take a look and let us know what you think.
WARNING: Flashing the MeeGo to your N900 will permanently erase your settings and may cause damage to your device. This image is meant for experienced developers only. We do not take any responsibility of the damage that may be caused to your device.
For the installation process you need to get the flasher tool from http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php
WARNING: With the open image the battery management is not functional so you may cause damage to your device.
Preparations
Before flashing:
- Ensure that your battery is fully charged.
- Unplug the charger and turn the device off.
Different images
There are two pre-built images available, open MeeGo image and one with some closed Nokia proprietary binaries. See Meego images for N900 for more details and instructions on obtaining the images.
The image with the closed Nokia proprietary binaries will add following functionalities:
- Battery management (BME), without this you may cause damage to your battery.
- WLAN firmware
- BT frimware
You can also create your own rootfs image. See creating arm image with MIC2 for instructions.
Installing MeeGo image
Get the open MeeGo image and also the kernel by following the instructions from Meego images for N900 page.
1. Make sure your device is turned off and the battery is fully charged.
2. Remove the battery from the device.
3. Connect the device to computer with USB cable.
4. Next start the flasher software:
sudo flasher-3.5 -f -k <kernel_image> -r <meego.ubiimg>5. Put the battery back to the device.
6. If the flasher does not recognize the device go back to step 2.
After the flashing is complete power off the device by removing the battery and go to step 7 in case you are not using the closed Nokia binaries.
7. (Optional: For image without closed components): You need to also disable watchdogs if you are not using the closed components, especially the Battery Management Entity (BME). This can be done similarly to above, except the flasher command is following:
sudo flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-omap-wd,no-ext-wdAfter these steps you can remove the USB cable and put the battery back to the device. The device should boot to xterm with MeeGo codedrop image.

Can anyone tell me where to download the kernel image file, the website is very disorganized. They say you can use the kernel from the open source version “ok…” (instead of linking to the file like most would in the closed source version) anyway, I go to download kernel file and I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Can someone tell me where it is? or maybe I’m looking for the wrong file.
