Thanks for the patch.  Applied.

Ok, Ive been lingering on this list for quite some time, not doing anything
openly... mainly because the development I was doing thus far was a bit odd,
and not really directly in relation to the kernel. Anyway, I just recently
obtained a Dreamcast Katana Dev machine, and I want to start actually
contributing to this. What I NEED though is someplace that can explain HOW
to write kernel code... drivers of course more specifically. Can someone
offer a page or even a not-so-expensive-book?

Thanks

Look for the _Linux_Device_Drivers_ book, it should be linked to from
kernelnewbies, it's free online.

I'm basically also just getting started with doing LinuxDC development.
I've spent more of my time doing KOS programming.

How much do you really need a keyboard and if so where do you suggest
getting one? (cheap)

I got one at Electronics Boutique for $10. Though Im sure
http://www.lik-sang.com would be a good place to look.

What do you intend to do with the katana dev machine? Or, that is to say, what does it offer that a standard dreamcast does not? Hard-drive space and easier booting?

Re: [linuxdc-dev] Linux Programming

[Jason D. <min...@ya...>]

Neither. Just now that I have this dev kit, I have more... interest in
playing with the dreamcast is all.

Re: [linuxdc-dev] Linux Programming

[ePAc <ep...@ko...>]

I have to ass something here.. The Katana dev kit (the scsi device that
SEGA gave (ahem) to (*registered*) developers to create DC software
doesn't work quite the same as the real dreamcast. I do not know for sure
what the differences are, but I have seen people developed on those, and
unfortunatly, they don't boot anything but GDRom, but run software from
the PC host. so you might be able to load the kernel directly, but unless
you can find blank GDROMs, then you are probably not going to go real far
without a real DC.

I worked on Evil Dead, and the DC version was developed by a guy sitting
accross my cube at the time...
