Z71: U-Booting Zire71

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

So GPE is running on Zire71 and TungstenE . The magic thing that made this possible was .... enabling swap in kernel Color palette is still somehow weird but I hope that this will be fixed soon. Touchscreen is working very well on Z71, but there are still some problems with it on TE (different chipset). On Zire71's 16megs of RAM I have to use swap, on TE it is not necessary according to balrog. Sound is still untested ... I'll test it soon I hope . And plans for future? Make modular kernel ... static kernel is good for development, but not for work. btw. root image is familiar-gpe-084rc1 from h6300 Kernel, changes to the rootimage and all the necessary stuff will be released ASAP the fbdev will be fixed.

OPIE on Zire71

OPIE on Zire71

I've managed to get OPIE up and running on Zire71
But there are still some weird touchscreen issues. I had to hack touchscreen driver in kernel to pass through the calibration and even though it is not working as it has to. It seems to think it has 320x240 screen (I took opie image from jornada which has 320x240 screen) so I'll have to look at tslib. Another problem is, that touchscreen has some weird colors sometimes. I hope I can solve this soon
