Void Linux

[miskinis]

Thanks for the info...

I am not really up for attempting to build a kernel for the C-750, at this time anyway.

I actually have invested a few hours so far, just trying to get a 4GB CF micro-drive get to a point where I can use it.  The "system" (Cacko) recognizes it as far as showing that it is inserted, and also allows an eject of the device.

But there is nothing in the "dmesg" output, and I have tried "guessing" at possible device names to pass to fdisk, but I have had no success.

I figured I would mention it in this thread, as someone may know.

I will not expect a "ready to use on C-750 void linux" distro any time soon...

Hello!

I just managed to boot build8 voidz using instructions here (thank you for all the work!) and the Zaurus won't do standby when I close the screen. Do you have any hints on how to add standby support, is the kernel 4.19.0_1 supporting it? Is it only about missing apm?

[glu]

Correction: it seems that standby is working, but it's not activated on lid close... When I press On/Off it seems to suspend and resume fine.

I do not remember if the lid events were detected by that kernel. If yes, you need to write a custom script to handle these to suspend on lid close. This was previously handled by zaurusd, but not ported to voidz.

Are there any tips on how to build void-packages for zaurus myself? What is the state of cross compilation, can all packages included in e.g. build8 be cross compiled on x86 host machine?

[greguu]

It's all managed by xbps-src and armv5tel is unofficially supported.

You can build any package in the void xbps-src repo, but some may need patches for armv5.

See my repo https://github.com/greguu/voidz-packages for building packages well as https://github.com/greguu/voidz-mklive for building the image.

It's always a bit of work to keep this up to date with the upstream void repo changes!....
