I have some ideas (mostly gleaned from wince), but I have ~zero time
to experiment.
The idea for the *real* suspend is to power down everything, prefetch
the wake-up interrupt handler into CPU cache and point VBR to the
prefetched handler.

Maybe this is what's needed?

http://www.intel.com/design/strong/manuals/278240.htm -- Read section 4.4 for details on the system registers for turning off devices etc ...
Isn't that what I said?
I have pinged them, but nothing seems to be moving, they are relying on the 2.6 kernel as much as I am if I recall correctly...
Any way to get directly to kristoffer? He's who I really need to contact, and is not on their irc room much. |

| Heh. I would rather not rollback, instead of just diving into it and seeing where it goes. I always learn more that way.
Besides, I hate formatting and recopying the whole system into my cf. It will be running perfectly once I can get the uclibc toolchain compile to stop getting errors.
Snappy!, once I get the free time (I have...a lot of things to do first ) I can get into programming. This time I might as well finish it, considering that I can practice on my 720 anywhere (It isn't all that fun to learn stuck in a room for hours ). |

| Snappy! convinced me to learn how to program. I guess I will learn C first, as I finally have resources to do so, and a book from my favorite dummies author (Dan Gookin) (finally!). Once I have time, which should not be in too long, I can get started.
-Oh, if no one has noticed, some things came up, and my activity on the forum will be erratic. (In other words, I might not be on for a week or weeks at a time). |

| Take a look to this site: http://armlinux.simtec.co.uk/kautobuild/2.6.15-rc2/index.html
It provides with tested, known to work, kernel 2.6 build configuration files. Among the tested machines you can find the Jornada 720, with a working config file. |

| I think I have found myself there before...
Thanks for that, but I still want to know what on earth is going on with the official 2.6 kernel for the 720. A progress bar would be nice. |

| Ok, just so everyone knows, gtmess turned out to be...a mess.
It doesn't work well, and unless if it gets fixed, I will use centericq instead. Its essentially a console equivalent to gaim, all your protocols in one nice little place. |

| Perhaps, since I am building a distribution, I really should be using the testing 2.6 kernel.
More information on that later, with the results!
-Oh, and I decided J-720 Linux just is too sloppy of a name. I will come up with one (of course in another language ) later, that shows what this distribution is all about. |

| Well, looks like the people are talking about my advances on todopocketpc, a spanish forum. Unfortunately, I need to learn a lot more of the language before I can reply (or register )
It seems that it is mentioned that my distro could save their handhelds, but I am thinking: I need a *string of curses* KERNEL FIRST! |

You would be welcome

Indeed, a fully functional Debian distro would save our lovely handhelds with a cutting edge operating system.
About the Kernel, I though that JLime was dead since no update were posted for a long time, but some days ago Kristoffer appeared again, so it looks like the 2.6 porting to J7xx is still going on.
I think that it would be good that you talk with Kristoffer and tell him that you are interested on using their Kernel for your project. |

| Doesn't he know? The problem is that it is so hard to communicate with him. The only feasable way seems through the forum...in spanish. I heard he doesn't speak english much/well.
So far, I have had a 5 sentence conversation with him, some time ago.
Jlime, dead? No way. There's stuff going on.
You are on todopocketpc? Currently, I can understand stuff. But writing my own sentences is very hard, I usually can't say what I want to.
EDIT: I am definitely learning C now. A few little dos programs so far, and I have learned that its not a good idea to cheat your way through, and use shortcuts like put instead of printf, and gets instead of scanf. (Long story short, one displays stuff right, the other doesn't. I don't mind the extra characters to get things right. ) Edited by ProgramSynthesiser 2005-12-06 9:03 PM

If you want to say something special, you can do it in english. At todopocketpc there are also some foreing people. |

| Ok, I finally have a clear plan for busybox. For now, as I cannot compile, I will just go with Debian's coreutils. I will then delete just the ones that the system absolutely does not need complex parameters for, and use busybox for everything else. As far as tinylogin, I haven't had any problems with it so far.
Kernel 2.6 will be tested right after I can boot up properly.
I seriously need a means of cross-compiling. If anyone could please figure out how to do that, many problems would be gone. I am being constantly held back by the fact of necessary programs not being compiled for the platform. |

| Nope, they don't seem to have strongarm machines.
At this point, I need to either get a working cross-compiler, or a microdrive, and fast. If I take too long, these devices will be too old to turn on.
I guess I'll find some time to just work on getting a working cross-compiler, five hours straight or something..
I might get the money together for a microdrive sometime. But as Fry's stopped selling them, and Best Buy does, it looks like I will need to dish out almost $200 for a 4gb. All I want is a 2.2 for under $100... is that too much to ask?!
