and followed by How-To. A patch set is available on my github but they are for donut. I'll make Eclair version available some time later.
1) Recovery SD
In a terminal on NetWalker, run following commands to create a bootable SD card using recovery system image.
$ wget http://mit.sharp.co.jp/os.tar.bz2
$ sudo umount /media/disk
$ sudo fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
-> claim at least 2GB for Linux
$ sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
$ sudo tar jxvpf os.tar.bz2 -C /mnt && sync
$ sudo mv /mnt/etc/rc2.d/S01upfirm /mnt/etc/rc2.d/~S01upfirm
2) Copy Eclair system files and kernel
Continue to install Eclair and kernel. First download eclairwalker.tar.gz from http://drop.io/eclairwalker091217/ with Firefox on NetWalker.

$ mkdir -p /mnt/android/eclair
$ cd /mnt/android
$ tar zxvpf ~/Desktop/eclairwalker.tar.gz
$ sudo mv /mnt/boot/boot.conf /mnt/boot/recovery.boot.conf
$ sudo cp zImage boot.conf /mnt/boot
$ tar zxvpf eclair.tar.gz -C eclair
$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.28.10-android/kernel
$ sudo tar zxvpf ko.tar.gz -C /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.28.10-android/kernel
$ sync
$ sudo poweroff
3) Boot Android
Booting from SD is a bit tricky.
1) Press and hold both mouse buttons next to the power switch.
2) Press the power switch and hold for a few seconds.
3) Keep pressing both mouse buttons until Tux the Penguin shows up.
4) Login as root without password.
You can play with a console. First thing to do is depmod.
# depmod -a
Now is the time to boot Android by a familliar chroot commnad.
# chroot /android/eclair /init &
4) Tips
Key assignment.
| Function | Key Assign |
| OK | F5, Mouse Left |
| Menu | F1, Home Icon |
| Back | ESC, Back Space, Mouse Right |
| End | F4, Star Icon |
Don't forget to change screen off timeout in Settings otherwise you end up loosing control in a few seconds. I'll recommend also set end key behavior to "Go Home" with Spare Parts.
To shutdown, press and hold F4 until a shutdown dialog comes up, then hit F5 twice.
5) Known issues
A lot of kown issues like,
No WiFi.
No Sound.
No SD storage.
Just a proof of concept, as usual. Any contributions are always welcome.
Cheers,
