Hi Nikolaus,
The udev and zd1211-firmware are part of debian lenny packages.
Downloadable below.
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/udev
http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/zd1211-firmware
Easier way would be to use:
apt-get install udev zd1211-firmware (You should attach a ethernet
cable, then ;-))
Ah! I had thought that udev already had been installed by
debootstrap... Sometimes things are much easier than one thinks :)
You really need some expert from skytone to fix the sources for
below issues. Not me ;-)
Sure. I think there is some activity on qi-hardware.com They use the
same series of processors for the NanoNote and maybe we can copy some
nice stuff...
- For the sound. ak4642en and jz_i2s.c, you need to change the
sources manually, check my previous mail.
- For rtc you can disable the option to startup/reset the rtc
everytime for boot in the kernel make xconfig.
Or look what the error means... Basically I am doing all this to learn
Kernel hacking and debugging :)
- For the touchpad, there should be an easy way to connect the mice
buttons to the GPIO. Otherwise just use a external mouse with scroll
wheel.
- LCD jumps to the right, I think the changes did for
minibook33.patch are not alway's consistant with the modifications
needed for skytone (trendtac minibook).
I have not seen that yet - maybe it is a problem with the HSYNC timing
not 100% in line with the LCD specs.
I have to add the above mentioned packages (plus some others) and then
I can make the debian lenny rootfs available for easy download. Based
on that, I hope there will be many differnt "Distributions" with a
good selection of GUI and tools. E.g. upgrade to Ubuntu should become
possible. Adding printer driver. Adding Browser, Mail, PIM etc. That
is the good thing of a rock solid package base like Debian.
BR,
Nikolaus
