Z71: Standby mode fixes

Tue, 22 Aug 2006 07:44:39 +0000

I've traced the bug in aic23 i2c resume function so the sound chip can be now also suspended. Also, there are many patches laying around so I made big one again. All changes are in except USB hostmode.

Z71: New GaruxNG-G [UPDATED]

Thu, 17 Aug 2006 18:57:24 +0000

Thanks to Andrzej Zaborowski's efforts on Garux, I got new stuff to play with . Thanx balrog-kun . So ... I took that stuff and merged it to GaruxNG. It works in a quite different way though - mainly the progress bar.

Z71: Dicota/Stowaway serial kbd support [update #2]

Wed, 02 Aug 2006 01:51:17 +0000

This patch adds support for dicota (stowaway compatible) keyboard connected over serial port. You can now use it in console as normal keyboard This is much cleaner solution.

Z71: Serial port

Tue, 01 Aug 2006 18:16:26 +0000

Here is a patch that fixes serial port in linux on palmz71. The prob was that GPIO1 was set in a wrong way and so linux wasnt able to use the serial port.

Z71: IrDA, Powermanagement, Backlight

Sat, 29 Jul 2006 20:21:32 +0000

Here is a new patch against 2.6.16-omap2. It adds backlight, some basic suspend/resume and IrDA for palmz71 and palmte. Also there is some APM support so you can read battery status from /proc/apm and you dont have to use modified batteryapplet for OPIE anymore . It also can now indicate, whether the PDA is charging or not. I merged latest balrogs patches so in this patch should be support for TE, but I couldnt test that. There are also added some smaller fixes.

Z71: sound support

Wed, 24 May 2006 15:18:50 +0000

Sound is working on Zire71. I used driver from T|T2 (Zire71 has aic23 too) and it is working quite nice. Patch against linux-2.6.16-omap2 is here http://disk.jabbim.cz/marex@jabber.cz/patch-2.6.16omap2-z71.patch.bz2

Z71: U-Booting Zire71

Wed, 10 May 2006 13:51:49 +0000

I've managed to get TT2 uboot running on Z71 I'm booting to uboot using modified GaruxNG (my working codename FinalGARUX ) The package can be downloaded here http://zabor.org/marex/uboot-pkg.tar.bz2 - it contains patch for uboot and garux. Be sure to read the README in the package ... I have explained everything in there ... I hope
btw. the binary you'll get after compiling garux and uploading it into palm will be called _Ubootgarux or something like that ... it will be first thing in the list
PS: you'll need uboot-1.1.4 source too
