From some of the discussion in the General topics, it's become clear that getting the Zaurus SDK up and running is a stumbling block for aspiring Zaurus developers. In an effort to lower the bar, I've created an entire development environment (based on Damn Small Linux) that has the toolchain and SDK pre-installed in a complete lightweight Linux distro and ready to run.
I've written an article that details the advantages of this approach along with download and installation instructions. You can find the article at http://kopsisengineering.com/kopsis/SharpZaurusSdkDsl I had initially hoped that this solution would be radically simpler than the tool installation itself. I'm not entirely certain that I've succeeded in that. I may just be pushing the complexity into a different area (getting Damn Small Linux and possibly QEMU running) so I'm very interested in getting feedback from anyone who tries my approach. Note that these tools are for Sharp ROM development only. They will definitely not work for OpenZaurus, and I suspect they won't work for pdaXrom either. If this approach proves to be sufficiently easy for people, then I may try to set up similar DSL based environments for those systems. Good luck! |

Thanks kopsis for making the DSL image available.
The last mile is the most difficult part for me. But finally, I set samba up to make the embedded meet the host, following the instruction here: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.p..._Windows_system kopsis, maybe you want to add this into your instruction page. Also the "sudo su" part + giving write access to /mnt/hda2/somewhere so the samba client can get src files and write to /mnt/hda2/somewhere. Well, took me a while to sort all this out. Well, I also totally misunderstood the QEMU + DSL Image. I thought the dsl disk image is read only like the live CD, but actually it's not. It can grow... Learned something new today

Learned something new today  well, DSL can be a live CD "static" system, but the UCI stuff is a very neat way of making it powerful and flexible; if you install it onto hard drive as I did, and then incorporate the UCI images, and roll it into a full vmware app, it's pretty cool. But, to be honest, I didn't really need it because I'd already got hold of the arm-gcc-2.95.3 tools from Guylhem's site, and built the trolltech gui tools for x11 on linux/x86. BTW, well done for getting samba working. I think I simply used scp to copy files over. This post has been edited by speculatrix: Jan 30 2007, 02:09 PM |
