General Discussion / special kernel
« on: January 06, 2004, 10:18:19 am »
tummus --] could you let me know if my latest tutorial section is correct?  I\'m just guessing here because I haven\'t got any bluetooth card...

Sharp ROMs / New kernel for Orinico/Symbol/Socket users
« on: January 05, 2004, 06:14:01 am »
be aware that the preemptif patches are not working with bluetooth cards... don\'t know which one but it\'s what I heard...

I\'ve finally compiled a kernel with overclocking & preemptif patches without the touch screen features... :-)
I\'ve updated the tutorial.

Enjoy!   Let me know of any further issues...  :?

I\'ve been talking to the author (Tetsuyasu YAMADA) and I\'ve updated the tutorial (bottom section)

yep I\'ve got the same issue with the touchscreen. I\'ve recompiled the kernel without the \"3rd mouse button\" patch but I can\'t re-compile the source when I\'ve diseable the pressure patch (maybe need to hack the patch file to remove it completely...)

I didn\'t find any documentation about the pressure patch.

Let me know of your progress.

Ced.

I think I\'ve done my stats with the sharp 1.0 rom, I\'ve never used the default kernel on the 1.32 rom.

don\'t know... ask the author... :-)

if you want you can only do the following:
  - apply the patches
  - and set these values:
    CONFIG_SL_CCCR_CHANGE=y
    CONFIG_SL_CCCR242=y (C750/C760/C860=n)
    CONFIG_SL_CCCR162=y (B500/SL5600/SL700=n)
    # CONFIG_XSCALE_CACHE_ERRATA is not set
    CONFIG_ARM_FCSE=y

Have you try these patches? any good?

-- the kernel source is the latest and current source from sharp. so this \"special kernel\" will be compatible with the default sharp kernel. the default modules are compiled with the same kernel version so no issue...

-- the sharp logo has been diseabled just for preference.

I\'ve created a better tutorial on the ZUG howto section:

Enjoy and Merry Chrismas!

Step by step to compile this custom kernel (I\'m NOT responsible for any damage to your zaurus by doing the following)

## setup a cross compiler --> http://docs.zaurus.com/index.php?id=linux_...ler_setup_howto

## grab the c860 kernel source --> http://more.sbc.co.jp/sl_j/source/c860/200...rom1_10.tar.bz2

## download the 4 patches
    -->
http://tetsu.homelinux.org/zaurus/kernel/v.../printk.c.patch
--> http://tetsu.homelinux.org/zaurus/kernel/v...3a/swap.c.patch
--> http://tetsu.homelinux.org/zaurus/kernel/v...l_apm.c-2.patch
    ## unpack the kernel source  
      --> bunzip2 linux-c860-20031107-rom1_10.tar.bz2
      --> tar xvf linux-c860-20031107-rom1_10.tar
        ## patch the kernel
          --> cd linux
          --> bunzip2 <patch directory>/linux-c750-20031212.patch.bz2
          --> patch -p1 < <patch directory>/linux-c750-20031212.patch
          --> patch -p1 < <patch directory>/printk.c.patch
          --> patch -p1 < <patch directory>/swap.c.patch
          --> patch -p1 < <patch directory>/sharpsl_apm.c-2.patch
            ## configure the kernel (please refer to the original web page for certitude)
              --> make xconfig (or \'make menuconfig\' for text)
              --> select \"Load Configuration from File\" and type --> arch/arm/def-configs/<device version>

                  --> select \"System Type\"

    General Discussion / special kernel
    « on: December 22, 2003, 09:22:46 am »
    I haven\'t got a binary for the c860, I\'ve only built it for the sl5600. But I can provide the source and the patches (and you can build it yourself with a cross compiler, if you want I can provide a howto).

    I\'ve try to upload to the ZUG but it failed... maybe too big.
    --

    edl867--] I didn\'t see anything about the SL5500, I \"think\" it\'s only for the XScale processor familly but you can have a go with the 5500... ???

    General Discussion / special kernel
    « on: December 22, 2003, 06:07:10 am »
    Hello,

    I\'ve compiled a kernel (for the SL5600 - poodle) with the following instructions from this site:
    http://tetsu.homelinux.org/zaurus/kernel/
    If you want to translate to English -] http://www.excite.co.jp/world/url/

    The kernel source code is based on the c860 source and 4 patches.

    Here are some stats:

    ### default kernel
    Dhrystone Benchmark, Version 2.1 (Language: C)
    Register option not selected.
    Microseconds for one loop:     4.2
    Dhrystones per second:   240639.1
    VAX MIPS rating:    136.960

    ### preemptif kernel -] http://www.tech9.net/rml/linux/
    Dhrystone Benchmark, Version 2.1 (Language: C)
    Register option not selected.
    Microseconds for one loop:     2.5
    Dhrystones per second:   402933.4
    VAX MIPS rating:    229.330

    ### special kernel
    Dhrystone Benchmark, Version 2.1 (Language: C)
    Register option not selected.
    Microseconds for one loop:     2.1
    Dhrystones per second:   476099.8
    VAX MIPS rating:    270.973


    I\'v been using a preemptif kernel for about 3 months and I\'ve never seen any problem. I don\'t know about this \"special kernel\" but it\'s really really fast, you can see a massive difference in term of usability!

    Let me know if you want the source and the binary. Don\'t know where to upload it on the ZUG...


    Ced.

    General Discussion / opera 7
    « on: December 16, 2003, 05:02:45 am »
    if you extract the ipk and then extract the data.tar.gz file then you should have opera 7.11.9553 in /home/zaurus/.opera/opera_arm.ipk

    I don\'t know if we are breaking the copyright...
