Pdaxrom For 5500?

[miskinis]

I did not have xmms-mad installed, which was preventing
xmms from being able to decode the .mp3 files.  In any
case all is well with xmms now!

Does anyone have a program (like xloadimage) for the SL-5500 that
allows the user to place an image in the root window?  I currently
use the openbox WM.

To date, I have not tried installing anything outside of the feed that
was published near the start of this thread.  I'm confused as to what
(if anything) from other feeds would run OK on the 5500-pdaXrom.

I have managed to natively compile and link some example
GTK+ programs which is amazing by the way.  I ran into some linking
issues with Motif and (straight) X11 programs, which I can provide
more detail on when I get home.

Hi there! So did you manage to find the ipkgs to install to get things like GUI system tools running?

Well, some of them.  In order to get a specific ESSID and WEP for a
WIFI connection, I needed to be able to get network.py to run.

I believe there were other deps, I have notes at home.  But I believe
there was a "*unixadmin*" ipk, and lanconfig, and matchbox-pdaXrom
which supplied another missing file.

It was not my goal to install the matchbox WM, and "panel", as I wish
to use openbox, and potentially something else in the future.

I looked though the "Filelist" and "Packages" in the feed, to try to
determine what ipks I needed to install.

What updater.sh should I use? there does not seem to be one on the download page? Miskinis, How did you install it?  I am sitting here trying to install pdaXrom on my 5600. But I am just a little more stupid than the rest of you because I can't figure it out. I downloaded zImage.SL-5500 (renamed to zImage) and initrd.bin, and tried to flash with the OZ GPE updater.sh. It flashes OK, but when I reset it and turn it on, the power led goes out, and then back on and that's it  I then tried the 6000 pdaXrom, with and with-out resizing and have the same problem. I do have a nand backup so I can restore. And what would likely need changing on the 6000 rom so it would install on a 5600 (Mine has the pxa255)? I bet I could learn how to do it with a few pointers. I would love to help this project!
BTW I am a 4 year debian luser!   WINDOWS FREE FOR FOUR YEARS!

Hi,

Well, I picked up a 6000 and have not touched my two 5500 device since.  The 5500 as
far as I know, does not use an updater.  I have no clue on a 5600, never owned one.
For the 5500, I believe I just used a zImage and initrd.bin file.  On the 6000 I ran into
space issues, until I performed the repartitioning (by first nand-restoring to GuyHelm).

Yes, I was very confused about the lack of an updater.sh, but found one in a link mentioned
in the "pdaxrom 6000 tutorial" thread that started recently. [[ CORRECTED BELOW]

Anyway, I am at work, need to be brief, and have no access to my notes.

I myself would not go trying arbitrary dists / updater scripts, etc. on your 5600.

I would research what is specifically released for, and stated to work on a 5600.

And, I was wrong about the updater.sh...  I was trying to restore back to the Sharp
ROM at one point, and had trouble (like others) finding the correct one to use,
and the discussion took place in the 6000 General Discussion forum.
