After reading some of the forums it does seem the kernel is accessible. In fact there has been quite a bit of experimentation but, as previously stated, it was indecipherable to me.

It does run v5.5(9.10) rather well, better than the Android(2.1) and WinCE(6.0). I only started this search (through these different versions) looking for some games like sokoban and sudoku (got some I will try.)

After a decent learning period, I will see what is actually possible and indeed, get back to you.

Thank you for the information.

Ubuntu has been progressing with what they require as a base-line from the hardware. 9.10 was ARMv6, 10.04 was ARMv7 so your SmartQ (ARM11 = ARMv6) will only ever run 9.10 and nothing later than that. To get the UI working on ARM11 you would need Ubuntu 9.10, a kernel that supports your hardware, and all the dependency libraries that the UI needs to run. If you have access to the kernel then its a real possibility that you could get it running. Otherwise its a bit of an up-hill struggle. Feel free to give it a go though and report back how you got on.

Hello,

First let me state the absolute obvious, I am a Linux noob!

The previous statement seems to be contrary to the ubuntu that runs on my SmartQ V7 that uses an ARM11 @ 600Mhz. SmartQ says their version 5.5 is equivalent to 9.10. Trust me, I will learn from any clarification.

Ubuntu will only work on ARMv7 based devices (Cortex).

Will it work on ARM11 based machine @200MHz ?
I just trying to attach another OS for my phone.

Changing from the default to alternative is as simple and renaming alternative.edje to default.edje (of course backup default.edje before you do that).

As for running it on a gnome-less system, there is going to be a session about that at UDS, its very much in our minds for next cycle.

Hate to sound stupid but how can I change from default.edje to alternative.edje.
Also can this be ported to something lighter such as Lubuntu, as when I tried it required gnome-session and gnome dependencies that seemed never met.
Using it on Ubuntu 10.4 b2 and really like, but would like to trim it some and would really love it on Lubuntu since it just screams on my gateway lt3103u and fast on my older thinkpads, old tanks I just can’t break.

May it mean, what we are now have some chances to get iilume on arm-based smartphones?

For example replace android in “wing-linux” or “androidonhtc” projects?

Ubuntu boots on the HTC Rhodium already (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640785), and I have booted it on my Diamond with some minor (solvable) touchscreen issues. Currently uses FB but the devs might get xf86-video-msm working soon. Jamie, what do you expect will be the hardest enlightenment dependencies to cross-compile? When I have some time maybe I will try 10.04 on ARM… is there any hope of usability on 128-192mb RAM and QVGA,VGA,WVGA?

Unless you can get all the dependencies installed for the new launcher on your phone then I very much doubt it.
