Hello! |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I would like to attract your attention to results of our work on project |
| 4 |
which aims to run Gentoo linux on hx4700 and some other pda's (zaurus |
| 5 |
for example). Now we have working stages which are available at |
| 6 |
http://pda.gentoo.ru. These stages are built using |
| 7 |
armv5te-softfloat-linux-eabi toolchain (gcc-4.2.2, glibc-2.7, |
| 8 |
binutils-2.18). Note, that already over year we are using eabi toolchain |
| 9 |
which allows additional memory and performance benefit. As a kernel we |
| 10 |
used hh-sources-2.6.21 (mainly based on handhelds.org cvs with |
| 11 |
additional patches for cfs-v24 (completely fair scheduler) and some |
| 12 |
other). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Since I have only hx4700 pda then all packages were built/rebuilt on it. |
| 15 |
Avoidance of cross-compiler greatly simplifies building. :) |

We have working X: |

There are two variants of X implemented on pda: |
| 23 |
1. Xorg server and evtouche driver for touchscreen |
| 24 |
2. Xfbdev or Xw100 server + tslib |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
hx4700 has no hardware keyboard so we use screen one and (wow!) we have |
| 27 |
handwriting recognition system with keyboard (cellwriter). |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
All our ebuilds are available in pda overlay (layman -a pda) |
| 30 |
all binary packages available via |
| 31 |
ftp://ftp.gentoo.ru/projects/handhelds/packages and |
| 32 |
rsync://rsync.gentoo.ru/gentoo-pda-eabi-iwmmxt. |
