Porting Linux to the Nokia E90 Communicator
Not sure why it has not been done!
So the study goes on
E90 runs on the ARM11 (OMAP2420 @ 330 MHz) Processor.
The same chip runs on the N93 & N95 too.
Nokia's memory(not sure which one) can be mounted using obex_fs

http://nokiaport.de/index.php?mid=2&pid=processor
The platform id (0x102032BE) of E90 is same as that of N95 & related ones

Anytux says N95 is not compatible with Linux...
Just wondering what could be reason..... something to do with MMU and things around it ???

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 http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifsignign key.
