Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] Ethernet over firewire

Hi Bern,

I just installed rc2, and it works fine!  mp3example works great too
(ALMOST listenable... ;-) ).  I am enjoying hacking around with
podzilla, no problems there either.

A couple of questions.  Where do I find the specs for the /dev
hierarchy?  And how come devices I make are not persistant?  First thing
I did when I logged on to my iPod was "mknod /dev/hda2 3 2" "mount -t
vfat /dev/hda2 /iPod".  I then found out that the special file was
deleted upon reboot.  I then discovered the /dev/ide hierarchy.  Is this
a uClinux-specific thing?

Next: how is work coming on on getting both cpu's running?  I suppose
SMP is going to be tricky without a MMU, but I don't suppose Apple put
in two for the fun of it either.

Finally: who's working on what currently?  I'd like to get my hand in,
but I'd hate to be duplicating any efforts.  Anyone working on
implementing ioctl / hd spindown?  Autocomplete line editing?  iTunesDB
reading / manipulation?

Cheers,
	Jonathan
