Cocoboot: new version

I just recently added firmware extraction to cocoboot (to get palmtx wifi FW, just tap on the Dump Marvell WiFi Firmware in the pulldown menu). For now it works probably only on palmtx. Thanks to kEdAR, you can download the new version here http://kedar.palmlinux.cz/test/cocoboot-git20080702.prc

(btw. someone feels like fixing prc-tools for amd64, newer gcc etc. ? maybe you can reuse your wifi bounty for that ;-) )

PalmTX: WiFi - for real

With palmtx being slowly moved towards mainline, I gave a try to libertas driver. With little tweak, I was able to create ad-hoc network between palmld (with palmos) and palmtx (with linux).

What now? firmware loader from if_cs.c doesnt work so you have to enable wifi in palmos and then boot, anyone feels like fixing it?

Photos follow:

PalmTX: WiFi - first steps (update: 3)

Just found out something interesting - I backported the libertas driver in mainline to -hh20, made some tweaks etc. . Well ... with wifi enabled in palmos, it is possible to set the card to ad-hoc networking in linux, assign essid and the device can be then seen by others ... but it crashes kernel when you connect to it, which might also be a result of my fast backporting of lbs driver .... well if anyone feels like hacking on it, I will put the patch and some photos here later.

It's over, all over :)

Stepan (aka step2back) has finally finished his great work of porting hackndev.com and old.hackndev.com to new django-based code. That means things would be better indexed, more fast and more shiny.

Feel free to test it at http://dcms.hackndev.com. Final move would be in ~1 week when all tests would be over.

Known issues: some posts might be messing, we're working on it.

PalmTC: handhelds.org migration started

The title is selfexplaining. Code cleanup started, palmtc base support is already in -hh.

PalmTT5, PalmLD: DROPPED

PalmTT5 is now oficially dropped by Hack&Dev, all palmtt5 related patches now go to handhelds.org . Update: same goes for PalmLD.

Specs opened?

I've just got an answer to email dated September previous year. It seems that Winbond can now share all the specs of TT3's W86L488Y SD/MMC/SDIO reader. Now we can fully support SD and SDIO including palm SDIO wi-fi adapter!

PalmTT3: Bluetooth

Here you have some fresh news ... we have something to present on this years LinuxEXPO, no but really ... bluetooth works on palmtt3. It's still in early stage and the init routine is still a bit unclear, but I somehow know how to turn it on and hciattach. This way I'd like to thank snua12 for his hardware hacking (desoldering dead palmtt3 board and also pointing out that there is a testpoint which gets high when BT is on) and for lending me his palmtt3 and kEdAR for giving us one dead palmtt3 to desolder it and trace the pins. It was easy to hook up wire to that pin and try which GPIO turns it on then. Read on ...
