**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Sep 26 03:00:00 2018 Sep 26 08:19:48 ah, so much to scroll back and read Sep 26 08:20:21 * greguu just came back from a business trip from Auckland Sep 26 08:22:18 bluelightning: will you come to linux conf in CHC? Sep 26 08:29:24 munchausen: try to build a kernel based on 2.6 defonfig ;) on mainline or at least 4.4+. If success, userland voidz should work fine on that ipaq, same as archlinuxarm armv5tel Sep 26 08:30:55 greguu it wont work, I've looked through the source and a lot of drivers are missing Sep 26 08:31:01 :( Sep 26 08:31:35 But, my sl5600 that hasn't been charged in over a decade is holding a charge :) Sep 26 08:32:17 drivers : did these get dropped out of mainline at some stage or where never there in the first place ? Sep 26 08:32:25 Never there Sep 26 08:32:39 They were kept in a fork in handhelds.org CVS Sep 26 08:32:57 There is a clone of that repo on github (no CVS history though) Sep 26 08:33:12 *lazy* what drivers are missing ? Sep 26 08:33:37 Almost everything... the only things present are flash, usb gadget and serial essentially Sep 26 08:34:03 the essentials are there Sep 26 08:34:19 I would just build and see Sep 26 08:34:47 No buttons, fb, pm, touch screen, leds, sleeve (CF/PCMCIA etc), wifi, bt, SD card etc etc etc Sep 26 08:34:49 its not like you have any other choice Sep 26 08:35:18 well, enought to get a mainline to boot, get debug from serial, so its not lost Sep 26 08:35:46 Lol no. There's enough to hopefully boot and then port over drivers one step at a time Sep 26 08:38:06 if you are really enthusiastic about it, yes Sep 26 08:41:07 albeit only 32Mb RAM, poodle can run voidz, just need the kernel, this is achievable. Sep 26 08:42:31 one may think you could resolder the RAM chip from the ipqaq on the zaurus..maybe just a dream Sep 26 08:44:13 lol Sep 26 08:44:29 Yeha I'd rather work on the software, I don't have the skills for that Sep 26 08:44:49 I'd just end up with a pair of bricks I'm sure Sep 26 08:45:03 Here's where basic h5000 support was added btw https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/bc2fd1c09c226ea47ab8301cde6dbcf9e5c78b73 Sep 26 08:45:41 A later commit adding more is mentioned in the msg, but it never appeared Sep 26 08:46:16 this is pretty simple stuff, just ARCH, flash and some GPIO Sep 26 08:46:23 may still work Sep 26 08:48:45 in the comment on top of the patch is also an indication that drivers do exists for the LCD, backlight etc.. Sep 26 08:49:27 LKML may have some patches that were never mainlined. Sep 26 08:50:01 That may just refer to the 2.6 fork, since the code submitted here is basically a subset of that Sep 26 08:50:16 LKML is a good idea, I'll try to search for that Sep 26 08:54:48 even patches for 2.6 can contain all the relevant info. its not like closed source. just a lot of work. Sep 26 08:57:08 * greguu being pessimistic : considering the low userbase for even zaurus..it may not be worth it Sep 26 09:16:09 Yeah it should be perfectly possible to pull the code over, just a bit painstaking. There are a few support chips that appear to handle a lot of the functions, it isn't using the default pxa framebuffer for example **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Sep 27 02:59:59 2018
