Mer 1.0 is the first release where it should be relatively painless to use Mer on a day-to-day basis using N800, N810(W)s.

Requirements specification, related to the N8x0:

  • Images:
    • a 100% free rootfs, which uses firmware from Nokia-provided initfs to provide WiFi and Bluetooth firmware.
    • Fully flashable FIASCO image containing kernel, initfs and rootfs. Will include closed-source bits for HW interfacing and other useful things to not lose functionality. Generated behind the maemo.org server walls and downloadable with a EULA.
  • WLAN working without hassle, and doing proper power saving. Firmware included in initfs.
  • Audio working, ideally without having to resort to DSP tasks, but if this is not possible, included in restricted image.
  • Bluetooth working. Firmware included in initfs. Bluetooth tethering, PAN and DUN.
  • Battery information available.
  • USB host, otg and gadget (serial, ethernet, mass storage) modes configurable.
  • At least kernel 2.6.21, ideally later.
  • Touch screen calibration possible.
