Bug in 0.83 TT3 reflash code

Palm T|T3

The 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

Palm T|T3

The 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

TT3 and U-BOOT

Palm T|T3

I'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.
