__NOTOC__

The Maemo 5 Developer Guide strives to provide an overall picture of the maemo 5 platform for developers wishing to create applications for maemo devices. These devices run a Linux-based operating system on [[:wikipedia:ARM architecture|ARM architecture]].  The maemo SDK is currently provided natively for desktop Linux distributions such as [[Debian]] and [[:wikipedia:Ubuntu|Ubuntu]].

This is still a draft version and does not cover all aspects of the platform yet. These pages will be updated as and when documentation is ready internally.
