If you try to flash Tizen OS (any version) on a new Ubuntu or Debian installation, you will notice lthor no longer plays nice with the Linux kernel, and it will fail without any messages. It has something to do with this.

The problem is /dev/ttyACM0 is no longer detected, if you do a ls /dev/tty*, ttyACM0 is not there even if the device is connected.

LuaJIT is a Just-In-Time Compiler (JIT) for the Lua programming language. Lua is a powerful, dynamic and light-weight programming language. It may be embedded or used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language.

In order to install Jenkins Continuous Integration server, you will need Java installed, and optionally Apache Ant and Maven. Download the latest RedHat rpm, don’t worry, the RedHat rpms are noarch so they will install on Tizen without any issues. Install the rpm.

The boot loader is a small piece of software that is required to perform the basic hardware and peripheral initialisation and load the kernel to RAM. For the Tizen platform, the boot loader comes in two parts. The first part is the primary boot loader and the second part is the secondary boot loader. The primary boot loader is the Samsung proprietary boot loader and is also called s-boot. The secondary boot loader is the open source boot loader u-boot, which is customised further for the Tizen platform. Homepage

In this small article you will be able to find out information about the two development devices created by Samsung for the Tizen OS. Keep in mind that RD-PQ is also called M0 internally at Samsung.

The Samsung RD-PQ developer device running Tizen 2.3.1 can be a cool development server/machine, and you can add git repository hosting and administration with just a few easy steps.

First of all, let’s compile and install git.

In the previous articles I showed you how to install Tizen 2.3.1 on a Samsung RD-PQ developer device, enable WiFi connection, connect to a WiFi network and install SSH server so you can remotely connect to your phone via your favorite SSH client. In this article I’m going to show you how to customize your Tizen OS and rid it of unnecessary packages, runtime systemd scripts, Xorg UI and many more.

If you followed the instructions outlined in the first article, you are still limited by the USB cable and the sdb utility if you want to connect to your phone, so let’s install OpenSSH server so that we can connect remotely into it. You are supposed to be already connected via a WiFi network on your phone, if not, check out the previous article.

The Samsung RD-PQ developer device is also known as M0 or TRATS2 and is based on a Samsung Galaxy S3 device, though it is missing any radio capabilities since it’s a developer device.

WiFi connectivity on Tizen 2.3.1 (or 2.3 for what matters) does not work out of the box for a Samsung RD-PQ developer device due to the fact that the images found on the main Tizen website are not complete and they are missing some important components.
