[Ipodlinux-devel] cvs updates

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

Hi all,

I've just completed the first cut at migrating to the 2.4.24 kernel
(uClinux version) and my latest changes are now in CVS [1].

Sofar it seems everything works at least as it did in 2.4.20!  Firewire
is working (on my 2nd gen iPod at least) for tcp/ip [2] and almost
working for sbp2.  New in this version of the kernel is support for HFS+
filesystems.  I haven't tried it but this should allow you to run on Mac
iPods without conversion to FAT32.

If anyone wants to try this on a g3 iPod I would be interested to hear
how it goes.  There are some conditional compilations in the firewire
driver arch/armnommu/mach-ipod/tsb42aa82.c which may get it to work.

I hope to do a bit more testing over the next few weeks and then see
about putting up a new version on sourceforge.

cheers,
bern.

[1] The changes in the public cvs server may take some time to show up.
[2] The iPod driver still has problems with broadcast writes, this means
you need to modify the PC side drivers to not send broadcasts.  Put an
#if 0 around the code in nodemgr_do_irm_duties() in nodemgr.c.
