Hi everybody!
I have a Simpad SL4 and I installed the Ångström Distribution with opie on it. I want to install more software like a webbrowser, but there is not much space left on the flash memory. I found on opensimpad.org that it is possible to upgrade the flash. Is there anybody who has upgraded the simpad to 64 MB flash? Does it work? Where can I get a compatible flash chip for my simpad to upgrade it? burn |

Hi, did you try out to remove your home parition [1]?
It should be possible to get the chips at memphis.ag. They can find a matching chip for you. The main problem is that you need to rewrite some stuff of the bootloader. There is some code for the adresses of the chip. Maybe you also need to change a line or two at the kernel -I cannot remember and have no source to look at here If you get the prices for the chips please post them here. An alternative would be the mmc/sd mod, but the driver for it is currently broken  I hope I will find some time to make the mmc/sd mod and for looking at the source best regards mr nice. 1 http://opensimpad.org/index.php/Get_rid_of..._home_partition |
