A little page to gather information about the O2 Joggler device. Everyone is welcome to contribute.
I noticed there bits of information all over the internet so created this

Kernel modules:- r8169 / rt2870sta / snd-hda-intel /
Suggestions for uses
- Leave original system on it
- Small MythTV frontend in kitchen, with mythRecipies, mythMusic
- Bedside radio / alarm clock
- System monitor - nagios / opsview
- VOIP client - with suitable USB headset
- dedicated instant messaging client
- Electrical use graph (connected to a Current Cost perhaps via USB to Serial)
- Photo/video frame using smb/nfs to see photos/videos held on central storage
- networked media player (e.g. XBMC)
- NAS using USB Storage
- UPNP media server / control point
- general purpose home server (ssh, http, ftp, email)
- Weather station
- In car entertainment
- Front Door Camera/Secuirty System Monitor
- Reinstall OEM software and modify their (Linux Based) OS?
- Asterisk Server (Addition Handsets available from OpenPeak) and using a pretty slideshow to cover it up?
- daubers' chilli watering system?
Possible Operating Systems
uses standard intel x86 architecture and spec is similar to many netbooks so there are several possibilities:
- Ubuntu MID/netbook/desktop editions
- Arch linux
- BSD
- Windows xp/7
- OSX
- Android
- OpenWRT
- Moblin/meamo/mer
Installing Ubuntu
Better version of that tutorial can be found here:
11 step guide to booting UNR
Prerequisites:
- 4GB USB drive
- USB Hub
- USB Keyboard
I can confirm the guide above works with 9.10 UNE, but not with the 10.04 edition. The hub was unpowered so I think defaulted back to USB 1.1 speeds, but the session was usable.
Working "out of the box" - touchscreen, WIFI (wpa2 included), powersaving.
Not tested - sound.
Sound has issues out of the box, but can be fixed by doing the following:
Plugging the USB drive into a host drive and changing the name of
/lib/modules/{KERNELVERSION}/kernel/drivers/acpi/processor.ko
You will then need to
Installing a prebuilt Ubuntu 9.10 Image:
The prebuilt images include patches and fixes that significantly boost the performance of the joggler. The prebuilt images include IEGD drivers to enable hardware graphical acceleration, sound fixes, network fixes and performance tweaks.
Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix http://stephenford.orThe prebuilt images include patches and fixes that significantly boost the performance of the joggler.

Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop http://fuzzylogic.co.uk
Installing Andriod
An Android image currently exists, but is unusable due to graphics faults. Patches are being investigated.
The build from www.android-x86.org installed on a FAT32 memory stick, with the efi bootloader will boot, but no sound, touch-screen or network. LAN can be fixed with a keyboard command - missing MAC address in eth0.

Setting up SSHD
I now have ssh, scp and sftp working. Make sure you use the sftp and ssh_keygen binaries from http://www.joggler.info/forum/viewtopic.php?p=973#p973
(I had to "touch" /etc/shadow before I could add a password)

Source code
Some of the O2 Joggler modified source code can be found at
The source code should be examined so that any code changes that add better hardware support, should be sent to the upstream projects. An example of this is the sound card support.
Having looked at the code, their kernel is not based off the vanilla sources, but instead seems to be derived off the Ubuntu kernel sources. Ubuntu-2.6.24-19.37 is the closest I can find, with all the lpia patches from debian/binary-custom.d/lpia/patchset/ applied to the sources, after doing trial and error with diffing the two trees.
Here's a diff showing the OpenFrame patches on top of the kernel: https://gist.github.com/367216
