5800 hardware specs

So today a little about hardware specs for 5800:


you can find service manual for nokia 5800 on
this forum.


Here is the internal hardware (phone dissection) :


full size

more info in russian or english.


This post is the beginning in the long (or short) line of post for putting linux (Android or Maemo) on my 5800.


Pdadb.net claims this phone is based on Atmel Rapido YII3E RISC Microprocessor ( acouple of months pdadb.net claimed this was a mxc300 based phone).

Anyway seems like Atmel stand behind the cpu :

here is what ARM tells about the cpu ARM1136JF-S .

ARM also provide linux images and source for devboards.


Also Android support from ARM.

Read "Running linux on ARM dev boards" here.

lets hope 5800 and n97 have a second life.

    very nice idea, I hope you can pull something off it.

    I tried to descipher elf2flash files user for flashing the upgrades, the general approach being taking the drivers and kernel from N800 and trying to boot it on the 5800 due to hardware similarities
