    GP2X X Server

    *** Please ignore this message, I posted it as if the talk was related to GP32 *** There is already an X-server compiled for the GP32. We have been able to get Nano-X and the Xserver (the old one taken from freedesktop.org's CVS) up and running. I've compiled on the last month the incoming...

    "any News"- The Sequel?

    Hi there, I spent the last month living entirely in userspace, doing development for another ARM board I got. I've finished the GoboLinux port to ARM, which now includes support for Xorg and the Matchbox window manager. The cool thing is that this work directly applies to the GP32 in the...

    Any News?

    Hi there, Well, I made some good improvements on the thing. The bootloader is now using MrMirko's SDK (no more GamePark's proprietary stuff), and I've fixed the UART problem. It can send messages through the UART, copy the zImage into RAM and uncompress it. However, I'm facing some problems...

    Any News?

    Yes, it's going to be supported. Doing that is not that hard: it's just a matter of doing a syscall to the GP32 BIOS and reading the firmware version. The problem is that there's a huge number of flashed consoles out there, where the firmware version differs from the original one. One possible...

    Any News?

    Hi there! I was very busy on the last months, since I moved to a new city and stayed away from my computer for some huge time. I just got an internet connection on my appartment, and I've started to put all of my spare time on the port again. While away from the internet, I've enhanced the...

    206mhz 64mb Ram Full Usb Port?

    I've just moved to a new home, and I'm now just missing an internet connection there (doing that from the University). The good thing is that it took less time than I was expecting to continue working on it. I'll play a little on the Xserver/Matchbox thing this weekend and will post news in the...

    Linux 2.6 Port Status

    Thanks! :-) Yes, I think it would be easier to add full SMC support. There's already some good chunks of code for the s3c2410/s3c2440 NAND controller on which we can base our work on. About getting mainline: it's already getting in. I'm constantly talking to Ben Dooks (s3c2410/s3c2440...

    Linux 2.6 Port Status

    I've talked to Spiv and have seen some posts about the BLU+ problem. While we can peek the firmware version and detect which hardware is being used, a lot of guys have already reflashed their gp32 and are running a modified version. So, if both GP32-standard and GP32-BLU+ users have reflashed...

    Linux 2.6 Port Status

    Hi there, I've some news. The GP32 base port is almost complete for Linux 2.6. I've been working full time on it for more than 1 month, and I've finished today the base support against 2.6.12-rc2. So, this is what I've completed until now: - clock, dma, irq, gpio, uart, sleep code, uncompress...

    Blu Compatible

    Hi, This happens due to new LCD controller used by BLU+ units. There's some more information on this thread. I still didn't read about the new controller, but hopefully there's a way to detect which one is being used in order to determine the correct timings at driver's initialization stage...

    206mhz 64mb Ram Full Usb Port?

    I've managed to compile Matchbox some months ago -- it looks perfect for the GP32. The only pain was to compile it from CVS: it took 2 days patching it around, but I think they have merged the patches already. I just haven't run the final binary, as the filesystem growed too much to take place...

    If The Driver Was Open Source ....

    We would still need a USB 2.0 device, which we don't have on the GP32. USB 1.1 is just too slow to handle large transfers. Lucas

    Cool! Just stating a 'news' one, also: call for papers is open for the International Forum on Free Software here in Brazil, which will happen at June. I've submitted a talk about 'Linux on Videogames', and (if it succeeds on review) I'll be presenting the GP32 and the GP32Linux project for the...

    Ultima 7

    There isn't need to use any special ported library, we can do that nativelly on GP32Linux with SDL. I already have it compiled here on my personalized distribution for GP32Linux. Actually it's more simple than it looks: after compiled SDL, it's just a matter of compiling Exult and playing it...

    Ultima 7

    Hi, It's possible to run Exult and Pentagram (Ultima 8 port) with SDL with the help of GP32Linux. Actually, this is the most exciting thing that my GP32 is going to do on its life ;-) I tryied running Exult with the current kernel provided by gp32linux (2.4.13). Since I needed a partition with...
