Re: [openpsion] 2018 Psion 5mx & Debian Etch

[Ed R. <edd...@go...>]

Very nice. I have considered trying to update the 5mx kernel and get an
eabi userland on to it. However, I suspect new software would not run
nearly as well, and I now have a planet computers gemini. For reference,
the latest (2.4.27 IIRC) 5mx/revo kernel source can be found at
http://svn.exactcode.de/linux24-psionw . Tony Lindgren's early 2.6 porting
effort is also available at http://www.muru.com/linux/psion/kernel/

BTW: There is now a relatively easy route to wireless networking for the
5mx, in the form of an ESP8266 running SLIP
https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_slip_router

Also, Debian maintains plptools, which includes a fuse filesystem for
mounting EPOC device drivers over serial/IR. I am not sure if it could be
made to work in mac OS or not.

Would be good to see any further developments you make.

Best,
Ed
