5x00 Hardware / Sl-5600 Specific Implementation Info

« on: February 02, 2005, 07:11:51 pm »

Hello. I want some specific information about the SL-5600.

As you will know, between the physical address 0x00000000 and 0x18000000 there are some specific hardware devices mapped (flash memory, control registers, etc...). I need to know what are in these address in the zaurus SL-5600 (poodle). Where can I get the information? Do you know what is there? Thank you very much.

OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Boot Specifications On Sl-5600

« on: January 10, 2005, 05:59:04 am »

Hello.

I want to develop an small light test OS and run it in the SL-5600. So I want to know what the SL-5600 boot firmware do to boot the Linux. What kind of information it gives to the kernel to boot and where is this information (for example the amount of RAM, etc.). I read something about a tag list, but I don't know where is it (in RAM I supposse, but where...). So do you know any web or document where it is explained? Also I want to know what kind of file you may load in the zaurus (an elf binary or something different) that the firmware uses to init the "kernel" load.

Another way would be read the kernel source, but I'm a bit lost in the ARM Linux Kernel. Could you tell me what files and functions should I read?

Thank you very much.

5x00 General discussions / Where Are The Boot Files??

« on: December 04, 2004, 02:34:58 pm »

Hello. I'm new in the Zaurus world. I have a SL-5600 with OZ 3.5.2. I'm just trying to change the linux kernel, only the kernel. Then I'm trying to replace the zImage file from /boot. But it's a softlink to a file in /boot that doesn't exist!! With the Sharp rom /boot is empty. I can't undestand that. Where is the zImage real file? Is it impossible to replace just this file? Thanks.
