How to setup a Linux4Palm development workstation on Gentoo
Submitted by Alex on 30 April, 2007 - 12:29.Since I'm now setting up my laptop as a development workstation, I figured this time I'd document the process. The result is a fairly complete guide to configuring x86 Gentoo Linux for Linux4Palm development. It covers OpenEmbedded (Angstrom), toolchains for Linux and Palm OS, the Hack&Dev Linux kernel and the Cocoboot and BFUGarux bootloaders. Most of the instructions should apply to other distros as well, just replace 'emerge' with 'apt-get install' or whatever the appropriate command is for your package manager.

OpenMoko on PalmTX
Submitted by cstroie on 18 April, 2007 - 00:03. Linux4PalmI managed to run and adapt OpenMoko on PalmTX. It is built using the good-old OpenEmbedded, so using a Palm kernel (and modules, of course) and a root image from http://buildhost.openmoko.org/ , you can run OpenMoko on Palm.
One problem is OpenMoko is based on GTK, so it will need more than 32MB RAM (the phone has 128MB). Another problem is the screen size: 640x480, so everything looks a bit too large. I was able to scale the interface down to 480x320, but there still were some elements not to fit the PalmTX's display. And one final problem: OpenMoko has a looong road ahead, meaning that the distribution and the interface are not fully functional, but I am sure they WILL be.
PalmLD: USB2 - first steps - UPDATED
Submitted by marex on 6 April, 2007 - 20:10. Palm LDHmm ... Look like it's just one small step for Marex, but one big leap for LifeDrive users :b I managed to enumerate that wicked USB2 chip from Cypress (EZUSB SX2 ; CY7C68001) with USB bus from linux AFTER reseting that chip with GPIO118 (power down/up). I enumerated it with built-in descriptor (UPDATE - I can enumerate with master supplied descriptor), but that means the communication with the chip is possible and Im probably just a few steps away from fully-featured driver for that chip. Testing code is in SVN.
