While giving a talk and help to manning the OpenMoko booth at the LinuxTag I also got some interesting hardware to play with.

The great guys from the OLPC Deutschland e.V. long-term borrowed up to 70 XO laptops for people which have interesting projects with them.

I asked for one to work on OpenEmbedded integration for it. This divides into two parts:

  1. Machine support. This one should not be to hard as it is a x86 device and the first rootfs it ever booted in the AMD labs was build with OE. :) Still it will help me to understand the deeper internals from OpenEmbedded better.

  2. Writing recipes for the sugar applications and libraries. Having recipes for them in the OE metadata will make it easy for other distros using OE as their buildsystem to use them and put them in their feeds.

I will be busy with EZX the next two weeks. I plan to work on this afterwards.
