iphitus Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) oh! so cool. where? how! does the bluetooth work? my dad's got an old T3 with a bust up battery, if i can get linux on it, i might bother fixing it up! edit: Ok, I googled, http://hackndev.com/ looks like bluetooth does work. Is it possible to boot the palm straight to linux? James Edited February 20, 2007 by iphitus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaglin Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 (edited) Hi James, Sorry, so much work and a couple of parties... Well I think it s possible to boot straight into Linux but you ll have to flash the ROM so quite dangerous (also there is a fix if you mess-up which involves soldering!!!) let me know how you get on, I ve got a couple of gpe running but all is not functionnal yet, that makes me really want a Zaurus!

sjaglin Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hi there, Here are a few more details on how to proceed. 1-You need an SD or MMC card to boot your t3 from Linux (garux) 2-Format the card (or at least the first partition) fat 16 3-Make a directory calle linux2ram and put the following files in it : (found at http://ked.wz.cz/palmlinux/ and other...) rootfs-t3-gpe-farcaller-042806.squashfs kedar_changes.squashfs kernel-modules.squashfs alsa.squashfs mplayer.squashfs mc.squashfs 4-Make the following modlist.txt file : 01-rootfs-t3-gpe-farcaller-042806.squashfs 02-kedar_changes.squashfs 03-kernel-modules.squashfs 04-alsa.squashfs 05-mplayer.squashfs 06-mc.squashfs and rename the file in /linux2ram as required. 5-install garux on the pda and launch it then it should all work fine I ve posted a few shots : http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/5062638 the result is a bit slow but there is a way to accelerate the transfers between the CPU and the card , I still have to work on that... I have not managed to find out how to save my settings and file yet either but it's real fun to use the command line on the T3 and be able to tweak a bit more with the hardware than it 's possible with Palm OS Enjoy!
