The original Nokia N900.

== Notes ==

Also see: https://elinux.org/N900

NOTE: Do not use the speakers yet unless you know what you are doing - you may fry them if you are not careful.

Power usage right now is reported to be about 80mA, which is quite a lot, but on a good battery last for about 15 hours, this is being worked on: https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/170

dd the image to an sd card. If using a Windows machine, you can use [https://etcher.io/ Etcher] '''NB:''' Etcher does not warn you before starting the flashing operation, so please be extra careful that you choose the correct device to flash to

Then boot from the sd card using either 0xFFFF/flasher-3.5 or u-boot/bootmenu: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81613

=== increase filesystem size ===
As of 2018/11, the latest pre-alpha image results in a 1.2GB root filesystem with about 100MB to spare. This can be extended, provided that your SD card is big enough.
Perform the following steps on a Linux machine with none of the SD card's partitions mounted:
* assumption: /dev/sda2 is Leste root partition
* e2fsck -f /dev/sda2
* use parted/gparted/cfdisk/... to enlarge /dev/sda2 to the desired size
* resize2fs -p /dev/sda2
* e2fsck -f /dev/sda2
