| 10:54.12 | Andy__ | has anybody here ever ported familiar to a new hardwre platform? |
| 10:54.16 | Andy__ | i'm looking for advice on how to do it |
| 10:58.00 | bluelightning | http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/FamiliarFaq#head-229e6aa878bc6d96f529068e7b722e6615301d61 |
| 10:59.24 | Andy__ | thanks for the link bluelightning |
| 11:00.27 | Andy__ | i'd actually be really interested in getting someone to do the initial port |
| 11:00.45 | Andy__ | eg get the LCD up and running and kernel loading |
| 11:01.13 | Andy__ | in exchange for some goodies, or something |
| 11:01.52 | bluelightning | Andy__: you're the guy who posted to the list? |
| 11:02.05 | Andy__ | sure am, |
| 11:02.18 | Andy__ | didn't really get any responses tho tbh |
| 11:02.30 | bluelightning | I'd love to be able to help... but unfortunately I don't have the skills |
| 11:02.48 | bluelightning | you may perhaps get more responses by posting to the kernel-discuss@handhelds.org list |
| 11:02.56 | Andy__ | ah never mind, thanks for the link tho |
| 11:03.04 | bluelightning | all the kernel hackers hang out on that list |
| 11:03.07 | Andy__ | yeh I think I posted in the wrong forum initially |
| 11:03.12 | bluelightning | (the handhelds ones that is) |
| 11:03.23 | Andy__ | it's because it was the only one with an update archive, so I presumed the only active one |
| 11:03.30 | Andy__ | which i've later found out to be untrue! |
| 11:03.59 | bluelightning | yeah the archives are way out of date... it's annoying, but I think our admin does not have time to fix it :( |
| 11:04.54 | Andy__ | ha ha, not a problem it just made me think it was inactive |
| 11:05.09 | Andy__ | seemed strange tho as everywhere else in handhelds.org seems pretty lively |
| 11:05.22 | Andy__ | are you running familiar at all bluelightning? |
| 11:05.45 | bluelightning | yep... at the moment I'm running the latest image as built with OpenEmbedded |
| 11:06.00 | Andy__ | cool, on which PDA? |
| 11:06.00 | bluelightning | I have two iPAQs, both running Familiar |
| 11:06.05 | bluelightning | h3970 and h3850 |
| 11:06.22 | Andy__ | I'm trying to get an old iPAQ of ebay at present |
| 11:06.34 | Andy__ | seems the newer ones arn't too well supported |
| 11:06.39 | Andy__ | would you reccomend one of the ones you have? |
| 11:06.42 | bluelightning | should find plenty of older ones there I would think |
| 11:07.29 | bluelightning | h3800 series is probably the best supported... it does have some very minor issues, and it's the older SA architecture at slower clock rate, plus the screen is slightly older tech |
| 11:08.07 | bluelightning | h3900 is good, but the microphone doesn't work and neither does consumer IR |
| 11:08.13 | bluelightning | minor issues to be sure, but still |
| 11:08.35 | Andy__ | yeh, the 3900 looks nice, i'd like to get one with the newer PXA in it |
| 11:08.51 | Andy__ | preferably a PXA255 but would settle for a PXA250 |
| 11:09.20 | Andy__ | how did you find installing linux on it?? did it go smoothly |
| 11:09.26 | bluelightning | I would advise steering clear of the h5550... it looks good, but I think they screwed up when they designed the power system |
| 11:10.19 | bluelightning | installation was very smooth, yeah... I did the first installation by serial, then I got a CF sleeve which makes it much faster to reflash new images |
| 11:10.50 | Andy__ | cool, I might try and get one of those then |
| 11:11.21 | Andy__ | there seems to be loads of iPAQ's on ebay so i'll dive in on one |
| 11:12.01 | Andy__ | thanks for the chat bluelightning, going to go and get a shower now and get to work! |
| 11:12.50 | bluelightning | np |
| 11:12.51 | bluelightning | cya later |
| 11:13.29 | Andy__ | bye |

| 20:04.03 | wysek | I've got some questions to ask about opie |
| 20:04.18 | wysek | already installed it and ... is there any web browser available? :) |
| 21:17.46 | rodkey | Well, technically one should ask this on #opie, but konqueror is one browser for opie. |
| 21:19.11 | wysek | sorry for that |
