Hey, I though that the e680i was built using the MontaVista embedded environemnt, and pretty much locked out until Motorola decided to give developers permissions?
that is correct. however opie can be compiled against the same kernel as in the phone and, with the exception of some bugs (e.g. sound), it works fine, so i'd like to see this extended to as many packages as possible. i've also been able to get Xqt built to work on the phone based on the bitbake build process.
Otherwise, applications developed for the Zaurus would be a very close match with the e680i.

Some arm-compiled apps can be taken from some zaurus/ipaq feeds and will run on the phone, but not all. To make things completely compatable they have to be rebuilt w/ a soft-float enabled compiler. Additionally, the qt-libs cannot be replaced on the phone w/o loosing the phone functionality (the kernel sources are available at source forge, but the source for the phone apps is not available). To make opie (compiled against qt-2.3.10) and the native phone apps (based on qt-2.3.6, i think) the qt source has to be patched so that a proxy app can act as an intermediator (see [a href=\"http://www.rcsc.sisrs.com/mfc/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1148]http://www.rcsc.sisrs.com/mfc/index.php?na...iewtopic&t=1148[/url] )
now that there is a tested cross-compiling toolchain and the kernel source is available i am trying to specify these as ASSUME_PROVIDED in the bitbake conf files, and apply the patches to the qt source, but i don't have either a lot of experience w/ this or time to work on it.....
