Hi all,

First of all, i'm really happy to see the interaction and progress of every one in this thread for the 6000 and a 2.6 kernel !

From time to time i take a look here and despite me being lately overloaded by work here i  just want to say hi and when we reach the goal described in the beginning of this thread people will be rewarded for their hard work. Please report your progress/work/patches and coordinate with the key-people here whenever you can in this thread.

Thanks again !

Its been a few months since the last image was posted, has there been any progress that would warrent posting a new alpha image?

I found time to improve the tosa kernel (small changes).
The new Image is online Tosa 2.6 Image

Changes:
- Kernel 2.6.17
- No automatic resume during charging
- Headphone detection works

After a couple of false starts I have been able to really test the posted 2.6 kernel, and its very impressive.  Suspend and resume work grood and they are very fast.  This could be the bigest jump in functionality in my Z in a long while.  The only real show stopper at this point (that I have) is the resume for alarms.  Once that is done, I could use this everyday.

Its been a few months since the last image was posted, has there been any progress that would warrent posting a new alpha image?

Thanks

sounds good bud !  Giving it also some testing...

I simply refuse to sell this beautiful piece of hardware, it's just the software which needs to work good and it'll be godlike

What about Opie?  (If GPE is running, is it a small matter to get Opie up as well?)

I'd be willing to tip in about $100 assuming:

- Sync with both Windows (Outlook) and Linux(Kontact or Evolution) is viable and relatively simple


I think that's it.  OZ is pretty much what I want for my Z.

Thanks undrwater !

That will also be taken in to work.

I updated the first post with the new reward amount.

I'm trying to get a 6000W this summer. If any of the developer is interested, I'm willing to send my 6000L to one of the developers (for up to 6 months) for testing when I get my 6000W.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=121241\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Radiance, I think he is offering the 6000L, not the 6000W.

Also, I am awaiting feedback on my withdrawal of contributions to Guylhem's rom. His project seems to be abandoned. If I don't hear from him saying his project is still alive, I would like to also contribute to this rom.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=121286\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Hiya mate !

Yes i think too. I really hope for the first real stable fully working 2.6 kernel+gpe for the 6000 models. Even if no one of the current developers or visitors can't do it then if the reward amount is high enough i know various professional sources who are able to do it.

So i invite EVERYONE who has a 6000 and wants to use its full power in what is was meant to be then please contribute what you can miss. You don't need to pay it right now, but you word counts.

Thanks !!

I am working on getting my site, http://zaurus.thegrantclan.org backup and running.  I hope to have the time this weekend to update the List of Issues for GPE page to show what all issue we see as needing to be fixed to have a usable OZ/GPE on Tosa.  I will also try to post the list on here too.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=121177\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Sounds good buddy, please post the list also in this topic and i will update the first post.

Thanks !

That would be awesome ! I will update the first topic in case some one decides to pick up this challenge and he might need a 6000.

Thanks !!

Hi,
I can contribute with another $200. I don't care very much about the alarm, but the keyboard is killing me. Also, it would be very nice if we can have an icon to manage the wifi connection.

Thanks

Jose

The hardware is excellent, just the software needs to be stable. I just tried release 3.5.4 and i must say i'm impressed, it's alot better and more stable. Yet there're still are several issue's which are IMPORTANT to be fixed. I'm an unix/linux person, with time i can probably fix a few things myself but i don't have the time for this.

I too do not have the time to help fix these problems(I wish I did since i enjoy the hunt).  I can help test and I am willing to donate money to the cause.  I am willing to add $100 to the pot for a working OZ/GPE with a 2.6 kernel.

I have given up on being able to have my Z sync cleanly with the Exchange server where I currently work so I am back to have a portable handheld computer.  

Running e17 is my goal but getting OZ/GPE working with a 2.6 kernel is a good start.

I guess we need to find out who has teh sl6k that are willing to test and work on the creating the list of issues and making sure they are in bugtrackers they need to be in.  Since I am not awear of a bugtracker for openzaurus do we need a keep the list here with links to the bug in its respective bugtracking system?

Hi nevarrie !

Thanks mate ! I will update the first post of this topic and add 100 $ to that amount for a fully working oz/gpe+2.6 kernel !

Thanks,

Radiance

Thanks mate, i just tried it but it didn't work. This time when i unsuspended the unit the alarm didn't even bother to go off. hehe

2.6 is the way to go, even if it takes some more months. 2.4-embedix on tosa has some _inherent_ problems that will come back whenever you use anything but the (ancient) patched sharp versions of software. Look at 2.6 at c7x0, it feels nearly like a new machine.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=120353\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Hi Mickeyl !

My feeling says also to go with 2.6 instead of bothering with 2.4. But ofcourse we need some one who is willing to spend time on getting a 2.6 environment running on the 6000 and most likely if that works fine then for other models it's more easy to get them also in 2.6 running.

So the question is: Who has the skills and time to get the 2.6 up and running for tosa ?

I'm willing to spend my own money to speed up and pay for that persons bother. It would help if others could also join me financially after some one applies to do this.

Greetz,

Radiance

Idea of sponsoring fixes sounds interesting - before 3.5.4 I worked on CFXGA card support - got donation from user of such card.

1. Hm.. this has something with a way how qt/e (used by opie) handle keyboard - currently no time to look inside of problem. If it comes also in GPE then it is strange.

2. I will provide kernel with fix which you mentioned on IRC to test - if it will help then I will rebuild tosa/3.5.4 images to give it for users by default.

3. thats probably can be resolved by unloading all usb modules on suspend and loading them on resume - Sharp shown in past that they cannot write kernel stuff in a way which will work with suspend/resume - look for those usbnet problems on 2.4 kernels

4. you mean selection color of icon titles on desktop? it is matchbox bug not gpe (but seen in gpe-image). iirc someone reported that in gpe bugtracker and in matchbox one.

Hi Hrw,

Thanks man, that looks promising. I know you're one of the best who might be able to create serious fixes to get things going !

You can message me on irc or here if you want to test something, discuss details and so on.

There is one burning question i have ... do you think it's worth it to hammer on a 2.4 kernel release OR do you think with a bit more time, it's very possible to release a 2.6 stable kernel + environment for the 6000 ? I really would like either the current release to work OR if there is a chance that a 2.6 kernel can be release in a reasonable time-line then i'd rather support you on that...Let me know what you would like ...

Thanks !!
