OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Collie With Kernel 2.6.
« on: January 02, 2006, 01:06:16 pm »
Hi!
I´m trying to use OpenEmbedded to build a bootstrap-image with kernel 2.6 for a
Zaurus 5500 (collie).
Now to my problem: Is there a good tutorial/starting-point for this situation?
I searched the forum, googled, and generaly tried to find any pointers, but to no
avail.
Either the information is too old and doesn´t apply anymore, or it is only pointing in
the direction of other models (spitz, tosa, and the newer ones).
John Lenz page about the 2.6 kernel-development for the collie is dated June 6,2005
and it´s unclear, if any of these patches are needed, or if the problems are ironed
out in the current kernel from Pavel Machek.
Pavel Machek is looking for testers for the current 2.6-kernel, specifically for the
5500, but I have no idea how to change the Bitbake-enviroment to build a 2.6 kernel
for the collie, nor how to change it to use the latest available kernel 2.6 from Pavels
git tree.
Any information or advice is highly appreciated.
TIA

P.S.: I´m trying to do this to play around with the recent kernel on my otherwise
currently useless Zaurus.
