Hello,
I've made a first attempt at getting OpenEmbedded working on the E3. I've got to the point where it will boot into a ramdisk, and I can get a shell via both Serial and the console. Dropbear sshd also seems to work. Patches, and files that have been built are at http://hu.gs/pub/E3
I've also had a quick look at getting OPIE working, and have got it building, however the colours don't work properly. It certainly gets as far as the calibration screen though.
Thanks
David

I've updated the patch on http://hu.gs/pub/E3 to include an initial patch to solve the LCD colour issues with QT embedded, so that OPIE now works. There are photos there of the Opie calibration page, and the main screen (I haven't yet managed to locate a USB hub, so can't tell for certain whether the mouse works in this yet!, as I'm running OPIE from USB memory stick).
The LCD patch probably will want reworking later, as all it currently does is to modify the 16-bit mode to restrict it to the 12-bit setting the E3 uses, we should probably separate 12-bit mode out eventually, however this patch serves for testing.
