Hello everyone!
I'm starting a new tinkering project. I just recently upgraded my phone and now have an LG Voyager just sitting around. Tore into it to find out that it has a Qualcomm MSM6550 ARM processor (32 bit, RISC). Now, I've got a few distros that are small enough and have the right drivers to operate on the thing, with only one problem:
Being that its an ARM processor, there's no MBR or way to use Grub. As in, I can put linux on it but it won't start.
So, any ideas of bootloaders to try on an embedded device or maybe a suggestion of where to look?
Thanks
-Kris
