[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=128116\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Cmonex, thanks for your interest.
I would really like to port come PocketPC apps, until i will not begin the Linux Port.
Can you tell me how to do it or better can you do this for me if i send the apps to port.
As i'm really busy with the Beta4 feed.
BYEZ!!  
THX in advance.

hmm, ok, i'll try to find the info for you, i can't answer all this right now  

there's no "hard line modem" though if you mean the dialup 56k type.

the OS is in ROM but the rom is flashable! however i have no idea how to flash CE back if it is needed by any chance.

did you get any new info meanwhile btw?

i think this says it all. look at the third row in the right column. The ROM is definitively NOT flashable. the best bet in this case will be to load linux to a CF, like most HPC linux ports do.

Uhm the link is broken.
But i know OS it' s in ROM.
This is better for 2 things, no problem to deal with Boot Managers and no risk of Sig corruption as it is not writable.
Logically it' s easier to develop things, so you have only to load the kernel from the SD and upload the Tree of PdaXrom into the other SD ext2 partition.
Like i do for the Jornada.
The only issue should be battery duration as a costant SD access is needed.
Guys i need help to compile the HaRET for the SIG, if i haven' t HaRET i cannot begin to hack the kernel for the GPIO stuff.
It' s a focal point.
Because, after a dump of the SIG GPIO interface, i can post the thing in the Handhelds.org Port site and begin with the Handhelds guys to work.
BYEZ!!!

News it not good.  

First off, I can't pull the CVS tree from work because CVS access is blocked - if someone wants to get this and zip it up, it might help

Secondly, the 0.3.5 version that I have is a little bit problematic to build.  For starters, it's wanting gx.h, which isn't part of the Sig3's OS.  It's wanting to statically link this, but I think I can get around it.  Bear with me

This is the CVS version downloaded now from the server.
Keep up the good work and THX a lot.
In the meanwhile i' m looking at the new Kernel 2.6.16 and patches.
BYEZ!

I've just managed to build 0.3.5...

I've ended up changing video.cpp to link dynamically to gx.dll rather than use a static link.  It should (might) work

Here's 0.3.5 compiled with the Sig3 SDK.  Let me know if it works!

I'll see if 0.3.6 is any friendlier to compile

Blimey, having reviewed 0.3.6, forget 0.3.5!

I just need to do the same changes to video and all is good.

Well, didn't even need to change the video stuff.  Just needed to remove the KILL_WELCOME function as that relied on stuff that's just not in the 4.1 API, and add com_port.cpp to the project, and it built within EVC, whcih is nice

Again, please report success/failure

Well, both versions run.  0.3.7 (apparently!) complains that it can't read a register in the CPU, which might or might not be a problem.

I haven't yet entered a debugging session with it, as I'm using activesync which doesn't allow me to telnet into the device.

Well Chiark, THX a lot.
I will try it this evening now i want to finish some Zaurus Tools compilation.
If i' ll be able, i will track down all the possible informations abut the internal chips and begin the HandHelds porting project with the other Handhelds people.
BYEZ!

Well i started haret and make it watch for GPIO, but it gave me a lot of errors.
One of this it' s when come up, it gives EXECPTION reading coprocessor 15 register 0
After that without running any script it gives Unknow keyword '`'
I think the problem is WinCE 4.1 and the fact the other messages are in Japanese.
