Some more playing with USB Host on TX and I mounted USB flash drive and it looks like it is working. Going to post it on hackndev forum and later on my blog. I'll also publish new testing kernel with this feature ;-) miska — 8 months ago

I've been playing with my TX lately after experiments with flyback's T5 on hackndev channel. Result is that I've got USB Host somehow working on my TX too. It recognize devices on powered USB hub. I'll write some short summary about all these things on my blog soon. miska — 8 months ago

We spent some time during this evening trying several kernel modifications with Sleep_Walker and flyback on hackndev irc channel. The result was, that flyback's T5 mounted external USB Flash drive using it's USB Host! So I didn't wrote anything about GPE as I promised, but I think that these are much better news ;-) miska — 8 months ago

I just tested and reuploaded some testing gpe images on my testing page for hackndev project. Probably a lot of things is broken right now, but it boots up and let you log in (with 320x480 kernel) and you can play with it a little bit. You'll see why I prefer Opie ;-) I'll wrote something about it on my blog later. miska — 8 months ago

    HW donation from Wayne State University, in Detroit

    I'm glad to say that Wayne State University, in Detroit give us 5x Palm TX with hard case, 5x IR keyboards and 7x 1gb SD cards as HW donation!
    This will hopefully help Marex to create PalmTX flash driver, me to keep kernel builds up-to-date and ... [More] tested and miska to provide fine userspace builds.

    Thanks natwrkz and notone70 for your support! [Less]

    Palm Tungsten|C WiFi

    Hi, I've finally figured out how the WiFi in PalmTC actually is wired. Both me and Alex 'BobOfDoom' Osborne were partly right about it, but we both missed what the other had. Generally combining it into one driver resulted into a working WiFi ;-) . Patch after break.

    What is happening right now, what will be next

    If you watch these pages from time to time, you probably noticed that releases are outdated, not much usable for daily use and this project seems in this way dead. So what is going on?

    Unfortunately, lot of developers are no longer active in ... [More] Linux4Palm project. Yes, iPhone is spreading like disease - why hack old device when you can buy nice new toy where UNIX is already present?

    Our answer is of course - because it's fun! Today - a day after Linux Expo event we're glad to say that many people are still interested in what we're doing. Maybe some of Linux Expo visitors are just reading this page. If so welcome, join, read, learn and have fun with us.

    Git repository layout changes

    As Hack&Dev.com is still the primary project being hosted on the server I'm posting this (mostly administrational) notice here.

    The current git repository layout is going to be changed soon, as I no longer like the idea of "one group to ... [More] rule them all" layout. The new layout will be managed by gitosis (and will work pretty much like github does).

    Good points:
    - Better ownership/permission handling
    - Centralised storage for repositories (no need to have private repos in your ~/)
    - Optional r/o (git-daemon) and gitweb access
    - Optional push-on-commit to remote (github?) repos

    PalmT|T3, T|C, T|E2: Suspend-to-mem without reflashing bootloader (UPDATED #2)

    It's now possible to use suspend-to-mem without reflashing FlashROM on Palm Tungsten T3. How it's done after the break. Also, PalmTC and PalmTE2 have similar loaders so it might not take too long to see suspend on them as well.
