Bug in 0.83 TT3 reflash code
Submitted by Farcaller on 11 November, 2006 - 11:54. Palm T|T3The bug, found in old version of smallrom patch is now solved. I've rewritten zboot (the middle-stage bootloader) so that it can wake linux without u-boot (we don't really need that 3-bootloaders-stuff).
In case you still want to use U-BOOT (you don't want to do it, really
) it has to be installed to 0x200a0 (with 0x20000 s/n data intact).
To restore problems of old smallrom patch you need to do two steps:
reflash mtd1 with your backup
reflash mtd0 with updated smallrom (will be on u-boot howto page in several minutes, it's md5sum is 536311dacb78c013bdab518fac8f2ee7)
This time I've modified zboot so it supports ELWPT3 protocol (Extended Linux Wakeup on T|T3), this also allows to pass wakeup execution to any place in RAM/ROM. No more reflashings of smallrom!

Feed the code until it sleeps
Submitted by Farcaller on 27 October, 2006 - 18:40. Palm T|T3The news you all have been waiting for: suspend/resume works 
It has some minor issues with SD driver, but an ugly workaround seems to help.
Booting is done via dual-boot smallrom/u-boot but it's possible to boot linux without smallrom modification (at least I think so).
/me just tested sleep/resume in GPE and feels great 
HOWTO-like thing is available here
HARET/P 1.1 (HARETP.prc v1.1 by Farcaller)
Submitted by Farcaller on 18 October, 2006 - 05:22. Downloads | Linux4PalmAfter a long period of inactivity I'm releasing new HARET/P
Bugfixes:
- HARET/P is now a standalone prc (however StdioLib.prc is still required)
- vset now writes correct byteswapped data
- added command 'help'
- added command exec to run scripts form pdoc files. Beware! Due to the broken pdoc support in palmpascal you have to end your script with a newline
Bug tracking
Submitted by Farcaller on 17 October, 2006 - 06:41. Linux4PalmL4P has got new bugtracking and wiki system based on Trac. You can access it via http://trac.hackndev.com
T|T3 and LD installations are accepting users, others are in "clean" state waiting for a project leader to come and configure project settings
T|X is managed separately at http://projects.linuxtogo.org/projects/palmtx/

TT3 and U-BOOT
Submitted by Farcaller on 16 October, 2006 - 05:41. Palm T|T3I've made some patches for u-boot, so now it can be used to boot TT3. u-boot works very nice and stable when executed from Garux, and has some minor issues when being reflashed over POS smallrom.
What does that mean? That means - we are very near to complete sleep/wakeup support in linux and also we have more free flash MBs (all 15 of them).
The flashing procedure is very easy, so this is my goal for "end users" - no dual booting, make linux work better. In fact, iPAQ handhelds don't support dual-boot (however they keep stock bootloaders intact). But smallrom is very bad choice to boot linux.
