Thanks to work done by Dmitry Baryshkov we have 2.6.23 kernel working properly on Zaurus SL-6000 (Tosa). Ångström images are already present so users can test how does it works for them.
Today I reflashed Tosa with fresh build and did some testing. We still have problem with framebuffer (famous yellow lines) but otherwise it looks quite good. USB host is working very nice — I connected few devices:
root@tosa:~$ lsusb Bus 1 Device 9: ID 1457:5122 Bus 1 Device 8: ID 046d:c70a Logitech, Inc. Bus 1 Device 7: ID 046d:c70e Logitech, Inc. Bus 1 Device 6: ID 046d:0b02 Logitech, Inc. Bus 1 Device 5: ID 0a46:9601 Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. Bus 1 Device 4: ID 05e3:0606 Genesys Logic, Inc. Bus 1 Device 2: ID 0bb2:0302 Ambit Microsystems Corp. Bus 1 Device 1: ID 0000:0000
Detailed checking as to wait until I charge this device to 100% because now it shutdown after few minutes.
I observed much less “famous yellow lines”in the 2.6.23 kernel than the previous 2.6.17 kernel.
I am unable to resume after pressing the power button. I get interrupt errors. Seems to work just fine up until I turn it off and try to turn it back on.
Hi, Great to hear you have 2.6.23 working on the Zaurus.
I did a little googling and could pinpoint answers to the following: Personally, am interested in obtaining the source patches of the kernel; I intend to attempt some porting. Where can I obtain the (working) kernel source for the Tosa?
Also, a pointer to any HOWTO’s on howto get a shell to the Zaurus from my Linux box pl..
Any help would be appreciated, Thx! -kaiwan.
Oops! I meant “could not pinpoint answers…” sorry!
@Kaiwan: I do not remember now where to get current Tosa support. Please check LAKML archives for Dmitry’s posts on that.
