Hello,

	I try to install uClinux on a palmVx. I install the file "uClinuxPalm.pr=
c"
form the web-site : http://palm-linux.sourceforge.net/. But when I run th=
e
application on the palm, I see the picture of the Linux penguin but I don=
't
see anything on the serial port.

	I use the command : "cat | /dev/ttyS0" to see the characters on the seri=
al
device /dev/ttyS0. I already use this method to see the output of the
xcopilot and it works very well.

	Does anyone can help me ? Does I make an mistake with my linux or the se=
rial
port ?

	Thanks

	Fabian Skiv=E9e

PS : I try to install the linux on a Palm m500. Does anyone know the chan=
ges
I must apply to the code between the PalmVx and the Palm m500 ?

Hi all,

I've just tried running the premade uClinuxPalm.prc on my Palm IIIc but
it fails with a Fatal Exception :(

Ah well.

If anyone wants to chuck me some more .prc files to try out I'd be quite
happy to.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hello,

You asked for volunteers to fill in the hardware table at
http://palm-linux.sourceforge.net...

Just for kicks I loaded uClinuxPalm.prc into my old Palm III (OS 3.0, 2 MB
RAM). I got the following output:

    Locking resources...
    93 pages in 0x05d000 bytes!
    Ordering image pages...

Then I got a Fatal Exception. You can fill in the blue box for Palm III with
a red box now. :-)

I guess I have no excuses now. I better download the sources and get going.

Hi there,

i tried to install the uClinuxPalm.prc on my Palm IIIx and it worked
fine, I could log in over a serial line, when the Palm is in its cradel.

What i want to do now is to compile my own uClinuxPalm.prc from the
uClinux sources. It already works in that way, that I am able to compile
a prc (which wasn't that easy ;) ) and run it on my Palm, but it always
gets me a crashed screen (the upper half is scambeld) and the only thing
I can do is to hard reset it. I hoped that aI would be able to use it
over the serial line, but this does not work in that case (i even put a
line in romfs/etc/inittab

It would be far more easier if I knew the configuration for the .prc
file on the webpage (like what packages, etc) and then try to slowly add
more packages.

Thanks in advance for your Help!

Regards

Kai Militzer

I used the palmloader.prc to load my Palm V.  This is awesome, I can telnet
in and play around, but how do I take it with me?  Also how do I turn it
off?
Thank you,
Stuart

Hello,
I noted on your site that you show the palm pilot pro as flashable, i 
was wondering if you know of any sources to outling how to flash custom 
images into the rom without the use of the palm os?  The reason is quite 
simple, i am currently taking a course on the dragonball processor that 
involves programming it and i figured it would be fun to hack a palm 
pilot to create my own miniOS.

So far my research has shown that the palm III on was not flashable, and 
since i do not want any trace of the palm os on the device, i need to be 
able to reflash the rom.  
Any information that you can provide to me would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your time,
-Chris Wright

Hello,
Great idea, but does it work on a palm m505 ?
thanks

I have tested Palm uClinux on a Symbol SPT 1700, and it appears to have
failed to boot. Perhaps I am not doing it correctly but it does not appear
to work. I set up Procomm for 9600,N,8,1 and ran the Palm Loader. It's now
at the uClinux splash screen and appears to have frozen. Part of the URL
below the main uClinux logo appears corrupted; I'm not sure if this is
important or not--it looks like it says "/jusi^linuks/", but I can't read it
since pixels from it are missing. Nothing has come up on the terminal. This
test was done using the uClinuxPalm.prc application. The test Symbol is the
newer version of the 1700 with the "Palm Powered" logo in the upper right
corner instead of "Palm Computing Platform". It has 8 megs of RAM and I
believe 4Mb flash.

Hi Craig

Just to let you know that I have managed to boot your latest distro on my 
PalmV

Now I want a user interface, let me know how I can help !!

Cheers
Dave Barter

Craig

I want to help with this project, I own a PalmV and would love to see TUX on 
it

Let me know what I can do, I can code a little (C Perl Java) test or document

Dave

from the sourceforge page, and both resulted in Fatal Error on my visor 
deluxe (8MB).

The sources to make uClinuxPalm.prc which David
McCullough put together are available with _extremely_
minimal directions on how to unpack and build.

You should be able to download the original dist, the
patches and have prc-tools installed and you should be
able to create your own uClinuxPalm.prc file.

Happy hacking and sorry there isn't more done or
better docs!

-Craig

Of course, if you don't wish me to email you again,
please let me know.
