Now available: AoF on SD only

Thanks to work by Christian Rüb and Ran it is now possible to build an AoF Cupcake or Froyo version that runs entirely from an SD. So it will not reinstall Qi etc.

This also means you can have another FR distribution in NAND next to a working AoF on SD.

The instructions and explanations can be found on the dedicated Wiki page here.

Packager part of Installer branch

A packaging script was added to the installer branch. The script creates the installation tarball for you, like the ones you can download from the project page. It can be used for creating Cupcake and Froyo installation packages.

For more information, check out the Build It pages on our Wiki.

Installer Build fixed

Thanks to Sebkuemmel, the installer branch of AoF is now fixed. Instructions for downloading and compiling are available here.

The installer branch contains the uImage kernel images used during installation and the qi bootloader. These files are part of the installation tarball.

FOSDEM 2010 presentation online

We have presented the AoF project on FOSDEM 2010 last weekend. We've talked about:

• brief history of the project
• the current state and achievements
• core team structure
• our strategy and short term and longer term goals

The slides are currently available as featured download on our project Wiki page.

New news section

I have added a news feed to the project front page. The feed comes from a project blogg on blogger. This makes it easier to post news on the front page when we need it.

Release candidate 1 for 0.2.0 available

We have just uploaded a release candidate for 0.2.0 we hope to be able to release 0.2.0 before FOSDEM '10 in Brussels where we will be holding a talk on Sunday. So please test it so we can make the best release possible. A list of changes done since 0.1.1 is available here.

Security problem in all versions older then week 2009-04 of android-on-freerunner

It has come to our attention that adb is accessible on the WiFi? network interface. This means that other people can access all files on the freerunner if you connect to a WiFi? network. We hope to fix this as soon as possible.

The issue open for this can be found here.

This problem is fixed in latest weeklies and in the new RC for version 0.2.0
