What is AR2?  Which cd-burning program did you use?  A linux one, or a
windows one?

Thanks,

Re: [ps2hacking-devel] ee-dvp-as

[now3d <n3...@an...>]

All the PS2 source was kindly provided by su...@sn... its the
GNUPro version
with r5900 stuff, you can compile it with cgywin on windows or run in
linux etc.

u can use the AR2 to boot your cdrs (of linux etc)
just make your ISO MODE2/XA with iso9660 filenames with version ;1 etc

Released what dev kit?  Sony is selling the PS2/Linux kit in Japan, which
comes with a bootable Linux DVD.  There is no method of creating bootable
CD-ROMs.

I was wondering if there was an easy way of executing ee-dvp-as on an
intel machine.  It's the assembler for the vector processing unit.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with creating a ps2 ready cd-rom

assumed there was a way of creating bootable cdroms.... Have any of you
tried this yet?

Right, i did get that.  I'm getting an error on creating mips-tfile.  I

o clean up and get rid of #ifdef CONFIG_PS2

Some code has duty statement #ifdef CONFIG_PS2 - #endif
in original 2.2.1 ps2 code outside of arch/mips/ps2.
I think we get rid of these ugly code.

Lethal and I have started working on porting the 2.2.1 codebase and drivers
to 2.4.  Some r5900 support is already in the linux-mips tree and Lethal is
still cleaning Sony's crust of a port :).

You probably want to focus your efforts on the linux-mips tree
(linux-mips.sf.net).  Also, Lethal and I have a private CVS tree against
linux-mips that we're using to test experimental stuff.  But diverging the
tree in this manner will certainly cause problems down the road as you'll
end up w/ 3 different MIPS trees.

Just do everything off of linux-mips (who regularly send Ralf patches) and
you'll be ok.

[Ps2hacking-devel] CVS is available. need more hackers.

[Takahide H. <tak...@hi...>]

Hi folks, 

CVS is available at sourceforge now.

CVSROOT is cvs.ps2hacking.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ps2hacking,
and the repository is 'linux2.4'. 
The patch I announced last week is equal to current CVS tree.

The tree needs to be hacked more. as far as I know, there are 
following todos. 

please let me/us know if you are interested in working on some areas.


  o Ethernet is only ported device at present...
    framebuffer, (Xserver and DRM !?), IDE, USB, and more are 
    waiting for you B)

  o test and set device (drivers/char/tst_dev.c) is broken.

    It is my understanding that this hack will improve performance of
    applications that needs extensive use of atomic lock operations
    (multithread, databases etc) on inexpensive MIPSes without LL/SC
    instructions.

  o various PlayStation2 specific code needs being ported, redesign, 
    or/and removal...

  o I guess cache flushing operation can be optimized more.
      (arch/mips/mm/r5900.c)

  o need to adapt to the new architecture in the Linux/MIPS tree.
    for Linux/MIPS integration, we should use arch/mips/kernel/time.c,
    arch/mips/kernel/irq.c and so on instead of old codes for linux-2.2
    in arch/mips/ps2 

  o cleanup various macro and fix 128bit register support in assembler code
    and some header files. I will try this next month.

  o catch up to the Linux/MIPS secondary tree.

  o (... and more? please comment.)

I want to build the chain on a mandrake 7.2 box, but everything i've tried

We had this discussing on the mips mailing list earlier. We agree. Sony
did nasty things I like to see cleaned up. Please make your tree again our
mips tree. We have some new "designs" you can take adavantage like new pci
handling code. Thank you.

P.S
   I'm going to be on vaction and I will not be back for one week. My
first vacation in 7 years:-) You have Paul's email address so have fun.

I want to start integrating PS2 tree to Linux/MIPS secondary.
But IMHO, we need another tree for a while.

PS2 tree is very dirty, unstable and many broken sources are included
at present. There are some (weird) macros for CPU bug workaround, and
128bit support does not compile yet. I think it is very important to
rework these things before integration so that we can smoothly/cleanly
integrate PS2 tree into Linux/MIPS secondary without troubles such as
making people working on other machines/boards unhappy.

We're planning to bring PS2 and Linux kit to LinuxWorld at San

[Ps2hacking-devel] (long) linux-2.4 booted on PS2 !!

[Takahide H. <tak...@hi...>]

Hi folks,

Finally Linux-2.4 kernel booted on PlayStation2 !
patch and binary is available at following URI:

http://developer.hima.gr.jp/playstation2/patch-2.4.6ps2.0823.bz2
(bzipped patch for stock linux-2.4.6 kernel source)

http://developer.hima.gr.jp/playstation2/vmlinux_246_0823.elf.bz2
(bzipped vmlinux. please uncompress before use)



To compile the patched source, try following steps:

$ cp arch/mips/defconfig-PlayStation2 .config; \
  make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=/crossgcc_in_somewhere/bin/mipsEEel-linux- \
  oldconfig dep clean vmlinux 

At present, you have to configure your network so that root file system
can be mounted via NFS. 

0. prepare NFS and BOOTP server on your network.

1. copy (whole) userland on PS2 Linuxkit to the NFS server and 
   export them. 'no_root_squash' option is needed.

2. (optional) rebuild 2.2.1ps2 kernel with nfs-root and CONFIG_IP_PNP_BOOTP 
   support, then test whether your nfs-root configuration works.

3. replace /nfsroot/rc.d/rc.sysinit with following shell script:

---------------------
#!/bin/sh
mount -n -t proc proc /proc &>/dev/null &
mount -t nfs -n -o remount,rw 192.168.x.x:/nfsroot / &>/dev/null &
mount -n -o rw,gid=5,mode=620 -t devpts devpts /dev/pts &>/dev/null &


/etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S10network start &>/dev/null &
/etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S50inet start &>/dev/null &
/usr/sbin/inetd &>/dev/null &
/bin/sh
---------------------

4. edit p2lboot.cnf on your memory card. my configuration is following:

   "vmlinux-246" vmlinux.elf "" 203 /dev/nfs "root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/nfsroot,rw ip=::::::bootp" vmlinux-246

   if you are using redboot.elf-010726, boot option given to redboot 
   is passed thru to the kernel.

5. don't forget to remove or rename /nfsroot/dev/tst 
   (*** THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT !!! *** )

6. boot the (redboot then) kernel. you will see dmesg on the screen.
   you can check whether bootp and nfs-root are working.

7. (if you still wonder if things are working, use tcpdump etc.)

8. wow, it's show time!

Hi!

  I working on a mips tree for 2.4.X and I seen PS@ info was released. So
was are considering placing it inot our mips tree. Does anyone know what
the NDA and license issues are?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessary a
good idea.                                 [ Alexander Viro on linux-kernel ]

[Oliver M . B. <ol...@go...>]

Hi!

In the last few weeks, I've been working on Debianizing the PS2 Linux Kit
in order to create a more confortable working environment.

I think we all do agree, that it should be our goal to make the PS2
binary compatible to mipsel and use Debian/mipsel in the long run.

Nevertheless, I as an interim project, I added the "mipsEEel" architecture
to dpkg and started compiling stuff. About half of base is done now.
As I will be heading to Japan on Monday and stay there for a month
(not carrying the PS2 along), I'll not be able to work on it. I've
put all source and .debs I have made so far at

http://www.informatik.uni-muenchen.de/~_bolzer/ps2linux/debian/

If anybody wants to take a look or extend the list, you're welcome.

# Looking forward to see most of you in Japan
