From what I understand, the best way to open this device up is to create a linux build on the mini SD card. What toolchain are folks here using to do things...
Seam, I hope you have better luck than I had. I tried for a week to get my Z2 to boot an alternate Linux file system but failed. If you do succeed, please let...
Well, I tried the sample structure 'for testing' in the group files and that was a swing and a miss. I'll have to revisit it and see what wasn't working. Have...
Sean, I got it to build once but would not boot up from SD card. Found a link to a site that had a test configuration but that did not work either! ... -- ...
William, If you are having trouble booting after building an image, it could be that the activate charge time on your SD card is too long. This was the case...
Hi Sean, I have gone the angstrom/openembedded/bitbake cross compilation route with success. As for your goal list: 1. CLI web browsing This is trivially...
Hunter, I tried three different SD Cards, thinking that was the problem. I finally gave up on the Z2. Too bad, it looked like a good fit for one of my...
William, Sounds like the build image or your partitioning is probably the issue then. I can dd an image to file for you to download if you are interested. ...
Hunter, That would be great. I will give it another try. Thanks. ... -- William Estrada MrUmunhum@... Mt-Umunhum-Wireless.net ( http://64.124.13.3 ) ...
Hi, I just got a z2 and looking at info on how to put linux on it as others have done. linux.zipitwireless seems to be down and was wondering if there are...
Hi, I am the maintainer of the source forge OpenZipit project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openzipit As of this writing I have a 2.6.29 kernel and userland...
Hi -(e) I've been following your zipit progress on your blog, and am interested in trying out your new tree. Did you happen to cache your irc session where...
I've been trying to build some images to play around with on my linux box, with mixed success. Base-image builds, but won't won't boot (hangs after Taking...
To get my new ZipIt 2 to let me check email as well as text and instant message? I'm going to be getting one soon as my pay check comes. But I have been...
Please... It would be of great service if somebody could upload just the C runtimes or possibly .libs to use for compiling programs. I am a Window's person...
Hi All, If you update to the newest git tree, you can now directly bitbake intltool. This was keeping xserver-kdrive and scummvm from building. They are...
Bitbaking fine from the newest oe tree. It feels really nice to alt-tab between scummvm and xterm.  Lots of interesting programs starting to build fine......
Lots of software ported and running. Flash working too. Emulators, web browsers, etc. Check these links for newest info: www.hunterdavis.com (of course I...
would you be able to put some of the apps you ported to the z2 in the ipkg format so they can be installed with out bitbake at this time i can not get bitbake...
Sure, some of us have been talking about setting up a z2 package repository. I think there's some slowdown now as debian is mostly working on the z2 and the...
Good idea, actually could probably do xorg + gui mp3 player or maybe streamtuner for internet radio... that'd be a nice app.....will look into it ... From:...
I'll be sending Hunter an image to host soon that'll have sound and Xfbdev. I'll include mpg123 too (I'm streaming SomaFM right now, and it works great). I...
