It occurs to me that I might just have one of the most tricked-out non-alien-OS kindles in the world. Next up... prBoom
Ah cmon - you've gotta try ay? |

getting prboom to work.
Step one. Get a screen http://sdl.beuc.net/sdl.wiki/FAQ_Lin...ebuffer_device EDIT: SDL just is refusing to play nice with AALIB. I'll try a handbuilt one as GM has kindle provided where he put the eips flip in his last go-round. TBC... Last edited by twobob; 08-20-2012 at 06:39 PM. |

Okay that's enough low hanging fruit posts. If someone has something serious to offer on where I should go next wade in.
In the interim I will be trying to implement Knc1's ideas for making the TC natively. Much reading to do I fear ; ) well this is an ereader site I suppose : D EDIT Reading: http://fun-tech.se/stm32/gcc/index.php Thanks for listening to me talk to you with your new fangled internal voices. Work of the devil no doubt. Pfft, they'll be developing space-craft next. EDIT: And tiny books that can calculate moonshot while narrating Beowulf. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi.../BLBeowulf.jpg Where's my tea? Last edited by twobob; 08-18-2012 at 08:30 PM.

The BR project folks do want to get the build of QT and WebKit fixed before the final release of 2012.08 version. Of course, I know the only things you wanted out of the entire build was QT and WebKit. Guess that is just the way the bits crumble. But the experience will probably come in handy anyway. Maybe one of the readers here will think of something to do with these things now known to work on the K3. |

A long time ago, before the K4 was out, I had mplayer with aalib (in optware) running in a myts terminal. I also had SDL (with some demos I wrote) running on the K3 and DX (with no sound). I did not get sound working in SDL. I added an "eips" call in the page flipping function for eink updates. I did not have problems with resolution or bit depth as I recall.
I was hoping to get SDL sound working "some day". My SDL build and apps look for the SDL libs in /mnt/us/SDL without needing to define any lib paths (built into the programs during the compile). |

The sound stuff is secondary. pretty confident I could get that going. If I get another moment I'll have a fiddle. Lot's to pile through today

USE DEFCONFIG: patched_luigi_defconfig. This should allow the changes to be then propagated by BR correctly to the Kernel in the configure via defconfig stage - which is the next thing it does after applying the patch. and b) GM advises me that there are some patches (above) that I should have applied to the source before building. I'll go read through them today - it was late (well,...early) when I posted that. Never mind. Having read through those links. the 'patches' AFAICS are actually two perl scripts for APPLYING patches. the others are for the various apps, which I won't be supporting. Guess I was just letting you know that I may be amending that patch (god help us) to include some more stuff. work automatically. as currently it is executed two folders away from it's target AFAICT and is targeting a file that does not exist at the time of patching. Thanks mate. Last edited by twobob; 08-19-2012 at 07:05 AM. |

The patch doesn't touch the config/defconfig right now, but you could certainly do so, although I'm not familiar with buildroot's kernel build procedure, so I'm not sure what's the best way to achieve that...

The amazon GPL code already has the patches applied. The comments in with the scripts say they are for applying patches to any GPL code that you replace with original unpatched code.
My comments in a previous post were that you may want to apply some of those patches (or modified versions of those patches) to any new code, if it replaces patched amazon code. My point was that it was worth studying to see if it was useful for this project. @twobob: Now that you have studied the amazon patches, are they not relevant to what you are doing in this thread?

But it is easy to get lost in the details. The most practical way(s): Build the kernel outside of Buildroot, set Buildroot to use the "external custom kernel" (or words to that effect). That is how most of the developers claim that they use it in their "day job". Many of the lead developers are using Buildroot in their "day job" to produce embedded systems under contract. The next most practical way(s): Open the kernel archive, apply all patches and changes desired, create a new "local" kernel archive. Then tell Buildroot to use that local archive file. The situation is similar to that of the cross-tool-chain - - Buildroot **will** build that, but in commercial production use, that is rarely the common practice. Same, same with the Linux kernel. In commercial production use, the kernel is built (as a separate build project) outside of the Buildroot system. The reason for both are the same - once built and working as intended, it is very rare to change either of them during a product's lifetime. (And it saves a tremendous amount of Q.A. testing to not have to repeat that for the tool chain and kernel. Note: Running the target binary "tests" (make check) is not currently supported by Buildroot.) |
