Sharp ROMs / Ripping Root Filesystem From The Original Sl-c1000

« on: May 04, 2008, 04:51:26 pm »

Hello,
I want to take the original Sharp ROM and make same modification on the filesystem and flash it back.
The current problem I cannot find original Sharp ROM with initrd, but as NAND backup only. Possible ways:

1. Extracting the filesystem from the NAND.
    Ths is not working properly for me (the file system is corrupted, files missing).

2. Restore NAND backup and rip root filesystem
    2.1 Rip image: dd if=/dev/mtdblock0 of=/mnt/cf/zaurus.rom
    2.2 This is jffs2 (?) image.
    2.3 Tring this https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=C3000_...or_the_SL-C3000, I receive error message: mount: /dev/mtdblock0: can't read superblock

Any ideas how to make it work?
Thank you.

Open Embedded / Where To Get Linux Headers For The Angstrom Development

« on: November 07, 2007, 01:06:38 pm »

Hello All,
I am trying to compile qtopia 2.2 for the Angstrom for the SL-C1000 (Akita), but I need kernel libraries and header for cross compilation. I can extract libraries from the installed ROM and headers from the linux-kernel-2.6.23 + patches (I cannot apply all patches for the kernel source).
Question: Where can I find pre-compiled libraries and headers.? Or how to get and apply all patches for the linux sources and build libraries?
Thank you.

Thank you.
I will try.

Currently, I found on this page (http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?action=details&pnm=hostap-modules) linux-2.6.23.tar.gz (kernel) and kernel-2.6.23 2.6.23-r5 (patch?) for akita.

But, the patch (?) in the ipk format, how merge it with linux-2.6.23.tar.gz

I cannot open it with winzip or tar.
Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Thank you.

it's not that easy, I don't think there's a pre-built dev environment (tho I had hoped there'd be a vmware player or qemu image provided at some point).

the only way I know of is to follow the Angstrom web site information at http://linuxtogo.org/gowiki/Angstrom - follow the developers link, it'll take you to OpenEmbedded pages which is the underlying fabric of the Angstrom build!

also ... http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom

This links has no instructions how-to build kernel.
I can found on OE server (http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/patches/bbfiles) bbfiles for kernel 2.6.16 (not 2.6.23, used in angstrom). Can anyone say how to build kernel using bb files?
Thank you.
