Thanks to Enrico's work we've got Freedomotic running on qemu, an ARM processor emulator. Performances are very poor due to the java frontend plugin, but is really not the right frontend for this situation, however we haven't even started to optimize it. To get Freedomotic running on Raspberry pi/qemu follow this tutorial:
http://drogon.net/blog/2012/03/raspberry-pi-in-qemu-debian/
and then setup for Freedomotic with
username: pi
password: raspberry
cd /home/pi
wget http://freedomotic.googlecode.com/files/freedomotic-dailybuild-5.2.397.zip
unzip freedomotic-dailybuild-5.2.395.zip
cd freedom
sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
sudo startx
sudo sh start-freedomotic.sh
This is just an on the fly test, in the next days I will check it better... NOTE: the first time we've started Freedomotic I get a JRE crash, second trial all ok.
Here some screenshots. Take a look. The complete discussion on our forum is here.
Now another team's member has received his Raspberry so we could test Freedomotic on a real device.
Stay tuned!! If you want to contribute please contact us.
