Current Status 

     The progress of this project during Google Summer of Code 2009 can be found on the corresponding maemo.org Wiki page or on my blog archives. The maemo software stack from glib/gtk onwards to the osso/hildon libraries has been ported to the  Open Embedded and an OE  overlay has been createsd to build an image of Maemo software on an Angstrom base, which is hosted at this github repo.

Download

    For Beagleboard users, images for testing are uploaded here- 

1. MLO
2. u-boot
3. uImage
4. Maemo-Angstrom Filesystem Image

Usage Instructions

1.  Flash the MLO, u-boot and uImage in the first partition of the SD/MMC card - exactly the same way as for normal Beagleboard images.
2. Copy the file system image tarball to the second (Linux) partition and extract it there.
3. You will need to start Xserver and hildon-desktop manually:
Xorg &
sh /usr/bin/start-hildon

Right now the script is tweaked to start osso-xterm and a couple of apps before HD itself.
To check what applications are available, the image recipe on the github repo might be of interest.
