Linux on the Nintendo GameCube and Wii

My Wii is running Debian squeeze now. Here's how I did it:

1. installed whiite manually and configured it to use wifi
2. ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade as root (this is important!)
3. changed /etc/apt/sources.list to squeeze
4. ran apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade (This does 
the upgrade)
5. rebooted and watched as system booted
6. celebrated with beer (kidding there)

I will post a upgraded rootfs sometime later.

Hi, I had a few questions about Linux on the Wii.  I tried looking at
the wiki's but some of these questions don't seem to be (clearly)
addressed.

I'm planning on putting a USB webcam on a Wii ("Family edition"; no
Gamecube support).

>From what I understand, the newer Wii's can't install the boot2
replacement BootMii, so it has to be run out of IOS.  Does this affect
how the Wii Linux kernel can use devices, particularly USB connected
ones?

Are there any other limitations that the "Family edition" would impose
on Wii Linux?


Thanks!

Re: [Gc-linux-devel] Linux on Wii From: Lucas Jones <lucas@lu...> - 2011-12-18 16:30 It's been a while since I've used it, but I think as long as you run Linux from BootMii (even if BootMii is run from IOS), it has full access to the hardware. On my newer Wii, WLAN works, and I've used a USB keyboard, mouse, SD card reader and flash drive running from BootMii on IOS without problems. You would need to check that the kernel is built with V4L support, and that you can get the appropriate USB webcam driver modules built for PowerPC. Googling a bit, it does seem all the `Family Edition' configuration does is remove GameCube compatibility; I wouldn't imagine this would affect HBC/BootMii, given that they don't need/touch MIOS at all any more. You'd need to try it to be sure; there might be other hardware missing. Lucas Jones

Hi, I'm trying to compile some drivers for a wireless dongle, it says it
needs /lib/modules/2.6.32-isobel-wii/build and fails.

Apparently I need the kernel headers to compile modules. They don't seem
available to download directly anywhere.

How can I obtain these?

Do I get a the mainline kernel source then path it with MIKEp5 patches? If
so what exact version of the link's kernel are you using? I can see
2.6.32-xx but what exact number xx is MIKEp5 based on, if you know what I
mean?

(I'm kind of new to this so if I don't know what I'm talking about I
apologize.)

You can download the kernel patches from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gc-linux/mikep5-patch-2.6.32-gc.bz2 > Do I get a the mainline kernel source then path it with MIKEp5 patches? Yup.

Hey all,
i was wondering if anybody would be interested in developing a new kernel
patch a la mikep5, e.g. for the 3.x kernel.

Cheers,
Matt

Re: [Gc-linux-devel] New kernel patch for a newer kernel From: Marcus Osdoba <marcus.osdoba@go...> - 2011-11-23 19:49 Am 23.11.2011 07:08, schrieb Matthias Schojohann: > Hey all, > i was wondering if anybody would be interested in developing a new > kernel patch a la mikep5, e.g. for the 3.x kernel. > I have created a Makefileset to apply the mikep5 code against a recent debian stable kernel. See here: http://gitorious.org/dockstar/emdebian-multistrap/blobs/master/configs/kernel_config_2.6.32-35+mikep5 I also tried to backport the changes in mainline, but mikep5 has more features and works better.

Hi,

I'm trying to get linux running on my wii.
I succesfully:
- installed the homebrew channel
- installed linux to an external harddisk via usb (by patching the
  kernel commandline)
- booted linux
But: wlan doesn't show up. In fact, in dmesg I found an Oops complaining
about some, well, something. I'll include the dmesg output below. This
happens both with mikep5 as well as with mikep4.
Just for the record: wlan does work with regular wii functionality (my
wife frequently verifies that while playing guitar hero :-]).

mikep5 boot log:

Hello Mailinglist,

I just want to let you know, that I'm experimenting with a rootfs 
builder on my amd64 host in order to build a Debian/Emdebian system for 
my Wii.

I finally managed to build a Debian 2.6.32-35 kernel with mikep5 patches 
and initrd ramdisk. The rootfs and kernel is built on an amd64 host with 
squeeze as base system. The goal is to preconfigure the system on the 
building host. Currently, this works quite well.

I applied a patch to the ramdisk, which allows to have an rootfs.ext2 
image on a vfat formatted SD Card. Now I'm not forced to partition an SD 
Card anymore and I do not need to change the cards - the HBC apps and 
Linux rootfs may reside on the same SD Card. Furthermore, I added 
farter's patch for the framebuffer (announced on the Wiki's mainpage).

The system is built with multistrap. I already used this method to 
create a rootfs for my dockstar with the same goal: create and configure 
the rootfs apart from the target hardware on a faster workstation. The 
flavor of Debian used here is Emdebian Grip, which is 100% binary 
compatible with standard Debian. A simple description might be: Emdebian 
Grip is Debian without manpages and other "useless" payload.


Now, I got stuck at the point, where I like to configure the WiFi. The 
b43 driver was compiled as a module, but after loading it, I never found 
a device named wlan*. I've built the openfw5.2 accoridng to the Wiki and 
the three firmware files are well present in the rootfs in 
/lib/firmware/b43-open - but I never noticed, that the driver module 
grabs the firmware image... What udev rules do I need to setup in 
/lib/udev/rules.d/ to let the b43-mpdule load the firmware and setup the 
wlan0 or wlan1 interface? Or maybe I understood the firmware/module 
relation completly wrong?


The work was published here:
http://gitorious.org/dockstar/emdebian-multistrap
Besides the the WiFi issue, the system is already usable. The 
zImage.initrd image needs to be renamed and put into 
hbc-sdcard/apps/mikep5sqeeze/boot.elf with the usual xml config. The 
rootfs-date.ext2 image needs to be put into the root directory of the 
vfat formatted sdcard used with the hbc.

If someone is interessted in bringing Squeeze to the Wii (with recent 
kernel patchlevel), I would be glad to receive patches and help with the 
configuration.

Kind regards,
Marcus

Hello Mailinglist,

I'm trying to bring the recent Debian Squeeze on my new 2nd hand Wii.

The mikep5 kernel from 2009 loaded via the homebrew channel and does a 
wonderful job. I like to be more flexible with initramfs and 
theoretically have access to all squeeze features form their kernel 
(2.6.32+debianpatches).

I had some success in crosscompiling ppc kernels on my amd64 box in the 
following variants:

A) Debian kernel sources + Debian patches + mikep5 patch
B) Debian kernel sources + Debian patches + wii backports from 2.6.38

Now I tried to boot the two kernels via HBC, but it gives an error 
message, telling me, that this is not a Wii application.

The file-tool indeed gives different outputs [1].

The question is, how to create a bootable elf kernel for the wii?
Or a bit more precise, what (ELF-)format does the HBC expect?


Basically I followed the instructions in the wiki [2]. But I used the 
the Debian make-kpkg tool to create whole debs and extracted the kernel 
image afterwards from this deb. The options for make-kpkg [3] are nearly 
the same as those listed in wiki:
--initrd --cross-compile powerc-linux-gnu- --arch powerpc kernel_image 
--append-to-version [...]

One need to know, that I didn't use the devKitPPC-cross toolchain, but 
the on-board Emdebian crosstoolchain from squeeze (Debian 4.4.5-8).

Maybe someone on the list knows, what to do to create the appropriate 
ELF format or run into the same traps?

Many thanks for any hint and/or comment.

Best regards,
Marcus

It produced an image with an non-working load adress. With plain make commands it was possible to compile a powerpc kernel for the wii with Emdebian-Cross-Toolchain on an amd64 host.

Sorry, nor the hardware nor the software (driver) was finally built.
