Want to try OZ 3.5?

I don't suppose there is an build for the 860?  

Its actually pretty cool that pdaxrom and OZ are coming out with new versions at about the same time.  I've tried the latest pdaxrom and its looking good.   I'm interested in trying OZ 3.5 to see what I want to run on my 860 for the next while.

I've got a build for my 860 here... It's pretty solid, except the terminal is borked.  Am still playing to see why, and how to fix it.  I may post a copy this eventhing.

Ok I got the terminal working (rebuilt it with updated configs from oe).  Check it out:

Anyway, if someone would like a copy of my build of openzaurus (totally unofficial and unsupported) for the Cx60 machines (tested ONLY on my 860), feel free to grab it here:

openzaurus-blakeyez-083004.tar.gz

As written on the oz3.5.1todo page of the openembedded wiki, there are a few things that aren't working atm.  The major thing for me is that opie-mediaplayer2 is broken (builds fine, but segfaults when trying to play anything).  The other 'major' if you use ssh is that on initial boot, dropbear does NOT generate host keys, which prevents you from ssh'ing into your zaurus for easy maintenance.  Use the dropbearkey script to generate both keys like:

Code: [Select]

# dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key
# dropbearkey -t dss -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key
I have not looked into why this is not done yet, as it should be performed in the dropbear postinst script on first boot.  However, this should get you going if you use this image.

I don't suppose there is anything special about installation for this rom.  I tried several times and it always hangs with a black screen with opie in the top corner.

I put all your files on my cf card.  Did the flash (boot - option 4, then reboot - option 3)

During the option 4 it did all the normal stuff.  ID'ed my Z as an 860, installed kernel, erased flash, and then installed with the 0 to 100 % display then cleared and the black screen with opie showes up and thats it.  I waited for 1 1/2 hour at this point once then re-booted and did the option 3 at which point I still get the black screen with opie.

I noticed in your tarball that the zimage didn't have a capital I so I renamed that.  I also tried it with zImage with and without the .bin extension.

any thoughts?  (of course I could always wait for the official release - but ... :-)

Hmmm, I once flashed my Zaurus with the files from those links in the first post and they worked, but now flashing to those files leaves me with a login prompt. Weird.

Are there any newer image files yet? Pre-release play image files?
