Re: [jornada] Re: Linux on Jornada 568

Fedor,

All of the kernel patches have been checked into handhelds.org
for about a month.

If you wish to try compiling it, please check out a source tree of
the kernel, copy arch/arm/def-configs/jornada56x to .config,
run 'make oldconfig', 'make zImage' and you should have a kernel.

The reason why there is not yet a FAQ is that neither I nor
others have had the time to install the newest version of the
Wince sdk to build/test bootblaster.exe, the program that
writes the bootloader part of the flash from inside Wince.
If this is not done carefully, it is very easy (as several people
have found out!) to turn your Jornada into a brick.

Please check out a copy of the kernel, look for the instances
of CONFIG_SA1100_JORNADA56X and see that the source is
indeed there!

Thanks
jca
