Hello,

I read that in my Nokia N95 runs a TI OMAP 2420 [1]. So I searched for OMAP2420 and linux and found this project and mailinglist. I found a platin layout [2], too.
Are people here who evaluate linux on OMAP 2420 in N95? Thank you.

Hello,

I was very much interested to know that N95 has linux and on
OMAP2420.

But, according to http://smartphonedb.com/index.php?m=specs&id=967
specs,
the OS is Symbian (It is on OMAP2420).

Can you please confirm?

Regards,
Kishore.

Hello,

The Nokia N95 has symbian on it.. i can say that for sure, because one of my friend worked on editing the network stack on the phone, so he had to contact symbian and get the OS unlock procedure.

right, Nokia brings the N95 with Symbian Series 60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1 to the people.
Is it impossible to bring linux on this phone?

On this page:
http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbusplashcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&contentId=4750
I found a Linux Kernel and files for File System, Boot Loader, X Loader and Tool Chain for linux support for OMAP2420.
So I thought it is possible that somebody is working on a linux port.

My last phone was a Siemens SX1 with a TI OMAP310 and there is a linux port:
http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/SiemensSX1

They realized dual boot with symbian.

The N95 will not run Linux: it runs Symbian, and flashing Linux on it would be quite an impressive feat.

Cheers,
Daniel

That would probably capture, amongst others, the attention of the Nokia legal team, since the processor used is the High Security variant and succeding in flashing the image means that one has a valid signign key.
