Booboo reports that dual boot is working (This news is also in a comment to a post below). In any event, this is great news. Read about it here: http://dingoo-linux.blogspot.com/2009/06/dual-boot-working.html This weekend is shaping up to be very promising.

Someone a few posts down asked: what is a kernel? There’s nothing here that a quick Google and lots of hours spent immersed in the jargon of software architecture won’t also yield, and better, but in an attempt to save you the trouble, here I go (just don’t expect to actually learn too much!).  A picture says a thousand words.  Our friend Wikipedia has this stuff on it: In computing , the kernel is the central component of most computer operating systems . Its responsibilities include managing the system's resources (the communication between hardware and software components). [1] As a basic component of an operating system, a kernel provides the lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources (especially memory , processors and I/O devices ) that application software must control to perform its function. It typically makes these facilities available to application processes through inter-process communication mechanisms and system calls . S...

Booboo has updated his linux kernel. Get it here: http://code.google.com/p/dingoo-linux/downloads/detail?name=zImage-200905030&can=2&q= The label says this: Linux kernel, fixed 8 bit sound mode, keymap changed to mimic GP2X . From the Spanish GP2x forums: The problem with the audio one in 8 bits. Booboo: I finish correcting it. The code of driver of sound OSS gives miedito. It does not arrive nor at alpha. Ominous quality, shoddy work and errors by a acojonante tube…. Also I have changed the one of the keyboard. Now soon I hang in google code new a binary one of kernel (the code in repositorio svn, obvious). You could verify that the keyboard map now is correct. Please good test the subject of the sound because it has been hung to me once. Only one, and I has not returned to happen, but you observe any rare thing, I occurred it. Another thing: you could try what so the gain control works. It is only...

From the Official (and porn free) Linux development thread on the A320 freeforum: Re: ** The Official Linux Development Thread ** by ezelkow1 on Sat May 23, 2009 11:51 pm Ok, uploaded my kernel build to: http://rapidshare.com/files/236491249/zImage.html tested and it boots up fine Uploaded my rootfs to: http://rapidshare.com/files/236494668/Root.tar.html I did have a few errors when tarring up the rootfs, but it looks fine to me, everything boots up fine. Do you have the options you used to build sdl_gfx, want to get that in so I can try to build gmenu with uclibc I will upload the toolchain in a bit ……. uploaded the initial uclibc toolchain: http://rapidshare.com/files/236510374/build_root.tar.bz2.html so with this and the previous kernel patches you should be able to do some basic development with uclibc. I have some newer versions of this and the root fs but they s...
