Ok, let's ban the words 'port', 'brick' and 'ROM' from being used in the on this list.
Most people either don't know what it means or get it wrong.

* Recompiling (or just compiling) is *not* porting. Removing x86 asm or assumptions about
ACPI or platterbased storage is porting.

* It isn't 'bricked' till you *need* JTAG to fix it. If you have other means, it isn't
bricked.

* ROM, as the name says is Read Only Memory, you can't write to it since it's read only.

Let's end the confusion :)

OE already has done that.

If you want detailed instructions: 'ipkg install task-openmoko-native-sdk'
