[Ipodlinux-devel] 2.4.24 rc1 binary release

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi all,

I have prepared a beta binary release of the 2.4.24 kernel.  This kernel can
be installed on either a win32 or mac iPod.  This kernel will use devfs and
expects /dev/sda3 to be root (*).  It has support for 1g, 2g and 3g.  Firewire
support is build as a module (to avoid the booting panic) so a modprobe is
required to load the module (modprobe tsb43aa82).

To install, extract the files from the archive, use the bootloader patching
tool  and linux.bin as the kernel, then copy the modules (the lib directory)
to the iPod root filesystem.

The download is located here;

<http://ipodlinux.sourceforge.net/2.4.24-ipod-0.4-rc1.tar.gz>

* for windows users this means repartitioning your iPod!  UMSDOS has gone from
2.6 and I don't plan to support it for 2.4.24 (at least the binary release).

The repartitioning howto says to create a new partition '4' but create a new
partition '3' and everything is all good.

cheers,
bern.

Sorry for the noise from a non-developer, but what is currently possible
(without hacking, but with enough effort) to do with this release?

In other words if I install the root fs, loader & kernel, is there a
music player + ui that can be used?

Hi William,

There is a working GUI demo but its functionality is very limited, there is a
basic menu, and a file directory browser.  From the browser it can display
jpeg or text files.  We play to add simple mp3 playing support to this
shortly.  In the mean time a beta is available from [1].  Just copy this to
the sbin directory on your ipod and modify the /etc/rc to include
/sbin/podzilla as the last command.

There is also a fairly good mp3 player.  Because its not integrated into
podzilla you have to run it from the command line (via telnet) or put it in
the /etc/rc file.  You can download it at [2].

I have also just added the MacOS version of the bootloader.  Its available
from the project filles section [3].

cheers,
bern.

What mp3 playing software were you talking about Bern? Is it real time?

It is the IPP (intel performance thingy) based program.  Its been patched to
buffer the entire mp3 to memory and seems to play quite well.
