[Mipsbook-devel] Introducing Iris

2009-07-27 Thread Bas Wijnen
Hello lists[0], I have written some things about Iris before, but didn't really introduce it yet. I'm doing that now. I'll first shortly summarize what Iris is and what it is not. Then I'll go into some detail about the design goals and what they mean for users of the system. Finally, I'll giv

[Mipsbook-devel] Iris source is online

2009-09-06 Thread Bas Wijnen
Hello, Previously I wrote that the source for my kernel, Iris, would be put on savannah.nongnu.org. However, they still haven't responded to my request. Furthermore, I decided to target not only the Trendtac, but also the NanoNote. That made it logical to host the sources on the server of the m

[Mipsbook-devel] Unbrick

2010-08-30 Thread Bas Wijnen
Hi, I'm mostly using the Ben NanoNote nowadays (which has a Jz4740), which has a USB device port that can be used to unbrick it. I saw someone talk about unbricking the mipsbook as well, thinking of JTAG. I don't want to discourage you, but I would advise to see if the Jz4730 of the mipsbook can

Hi, yes, AFAIK the Trendtac (which is also what I have) and all the other names it has are the exact same device (with the exception that the Trendtac does not have a wifi adapter soldered to the internal usb connector). I know which connector you talk about, and have been wanting to plug a cable
