Hi guys, I ran up uClinux again on a PalmIIIx using the 20020701 distro. There were a few things I had to fix to make it go. * The CPU type in the 2.0 kernel config is wrong and defaults to 68328, this should be 68EZ328 with the PalmV option enabled. Also "Kernel executes from RAM" needs to be set. * Enable ZFLAT * Disable TCP/IP and turn off all network devices. Don't turn off networking support though. * make dep make flthdr -z romfs/bin/* ln -s /var/tmp romfs/tmp make image That should give you a uClinuxPalm.prc that will load and run on the PalmIIIx (With Microwindows included). YMMV on other devices. There appears to be something wrong with the PalmLoader that I have never quite figured out. It seems to corrupt images. Quite often the ROMFS part. Most of the above is to minimise the affects of this problem. To run MW and see blinding performance ;-) /> nano-X & /> nanowm & /> nxclock & should give you a clock. The TS isn't working, though it works under Xcopilot, it kills a real Palm. Hope this helps in some way, Cheers, Davidm Jivin Dan Trainor lays it down ... > I've been working on basically the same thing, and I do get the funny > characters after it runs something from /etc/sh (I believe it is).
