Hi, the only developer working on the kernel that I'm aware of is greguu. I don't think there's any active mailing list for Zaurus kernel development, OESF is the only place I know with discussions about it. In the #kexecboot IRC channel on Freenode there used to be lots of useful, although unsorted, info about recent kernel development, there's a log of the channel available here:

https://logs.nslu2-linux.org/livelogs/kexecboot/

I'd suggest to wget those logs and to make local searches there. There were also #alarmz and #voidz channels, though no logs of them are available. Plus the historical #zaurus one for older discussions, logs are here:

thanks!

I am working on a low level bootloader, plus kernel stuff.
Need info, I can't find around.

I will wget and search into logs

p.s.
wrote a nice tool to automagically get stuff from an internet url, even recursively

Code: [Select]

macmini2-intel irc # echo "https://logs.nslu2-linux.org/livelogs/kexecboot/" > url
macmini2-intel irc # myNET-get-files-from-url url

I take this opportunity to test it

In particular, I'm trying to figure out what problems there are with

• Flash on Zaurus -> can I erase everything and use the Zaurus Flash (C1K, C3K) for my stuff?
• Suspend/Resume
• PowerCharge
• PowerManagement
• TouchScreen -> too noisy on a SDL application I wrote to take notes -> should I put a software filter into its kernel module?!?
• USB, why is it so slow?!? I get ~1Mbyte/sec on a 10/100Mbps USB-NIC ---> it's not USB2, but rather USB1?!?

I also found a Russian forum that was about Gentoo/Zaurus around 2009.
I see patches for kernels 2.6.22 and later.

I know there is a JTAG interface inside the PXA270 SoC.
I don't know if it is connected to a PDA connector.

Any doc?
