LinuxExpo 2008

Well, I didn't published any news for a long time, so I want to fix this. I'm not good in reading comments and replying to them. So I want to apologize to all of you. But here comes opportunity to meet some of the developers face to face. During the next week (15.-16.), there will be LinuxExpo exhibition in Prague. They say that it is the biggest OpenSource exhibition in central Europe. In the fact, it's really small exhibition. But if you happen to be in Prague, you can meet some of us there. We will be presenting some Palms with Linux of course ;-) And last note, if you register in advance, it's free ;-)

Dropped T5

As you maybe already noticed on Hacking & Development main site. Marex dropped Palm T|T5. He pushed sources into handhelds.org. That is probably good for T5 users. Once handhelds get propagated into vanilla it would be great. But I think, there is still some work left on T5.

When you read that T5 has been dropped, you probably worried about releases. So I just want to let you know, that I still consider Palm T|T5 as a part of Hacking & Development project and will be preparing releases for T5 in cooperation with snua. These releases will be based on Hacking & Development kernel, but I don't think that this actually matters.

Let's revive!

I had no time to keep my blog up to date lately. But there wasn't so much news in the project. What's new? Marex wrote MTD driver, so we can access NAND memory in Palm. Marex tried reading and it worked. Writing should work too, but nobody was brave enough to try it. Nobody knows, what will happen. There are two possible endings. It can end up with dead Palm or with hardreset. Possibility of bricking device isn't much tempting... Other thing is, that we don't have NVFS driver yet. So we can't mount memory from PalmOS :-(

But I've got some good news after all. I finally managed to update stable releases. This is interesting mainly for Palm T|T5 users. You can get them as usual at my homepage

Last piece of information is that we've managed to setup OpenEmbedded compilation machine (together with SleepWalker) and we are experimenting with building new images. So maybe I'll have some new images in near future ;-)
