Hi!

I'm interested in your advance in porting linux to iPAQ 214, so please keep on informing us on this list! I would like to help, but my knowledge is probably too small. Anyway, good luck!

Ok, I will try to put the haret relevant things on here as well as a general update when I have time. I'm discussing the more detailed things on the arm kernel list here: http://lists.arm.linux.org.uk/lurker/thread/20080312.024921.d72cfbda.en.html

At the moment I'm starting to realise this make take quite some time, but I'll stick at it in and around my proper work.

I have discovered the PXA310's MFP (Multi-function pin) configuration system, worked out what it does from the linux kernel sources and have discovered the iPAQ 214's GPIOs are all in different places to the Zylonite eval board that I was using as my starting point. This is just going to take a while of trying to figure out where everything is.

I was also having some difficulty with the weird memory map that the 214 seems to have. I have figured most of that out now, though it's going to require some odd modifications of haret to deal with properly and at the moment I cant find a way around booting the kernel partly from video ram. Doesn't stop the kernel booting, but means you can't read the haret preloader output, which is annoying for CRC checking etc.

I will post the details of this, as well as some questions on my original thread a little later on.

Nice to see some other interest in this, do you have a 214?

Hi!

Thanks for the link to the arm-kernel thread and all the info. Yes, I too have a 214, and would like to learn a little bit about embedded linux, when I have some time...
Good luck!
