01:33.07zemzb: actually i've discovered u-boot got patched for h2200 support in september, and seems to be actively maintained (latest commit on its code is only a few days ago)
01:34.22zemzb: and have wrangled angstrom's OE environment to build u-boot git for it, and successfully flashed the result (with an extra header tacked on that it still doesn't include so far...), but it just "loads" to a black screen... which i dunno is a problem or not, since i didn't get to actually giving it any kernel or config to do anything with
01:36.22zemzb: (also i found a kexecboot build for it that, afaict, wasn't actually tested or get anywhere, cause about the only thing i found so far is the build which lacks the one header still and is bigger than the flash its meant to go into)
01:37.05mzbthey guy originally in charge of Angstrom started with an h2200
01:37.25mzbfwiw, it was the first handheld to run a 2.6 kernel
01:37.34zehehe
01:38.40zesadly, i still won't be getting a cellphone any time soon, and my previous pda was a caiso be-200, so even this is the most advanced mobile gadget i've gotten yet ;p
01:46.33shawn186ze the iPAQ H2200?
01:47.00zeyes
01:47.22shawn186huzzah :D
01:47.27shawn186anything for the H3600?
01:47.49shawn186i have yet to see a cradle serial pinout sprout up anywhere
01:48.03zedunno anything about that one, i'm barely learning about this one yet heh
01:48.17shawn186the H3600 is an amazing device
01:48.30shawn186whenever I can get PPC2002 off of it
01:48.43shawn186so far, I have ran PPC2000 and PPC2002
01:48.50shawn186my next is familiar linux
01:48.54zehehe
01:48.56shawn186once i find a pinout :D
01:49.47shawn186the fact that you can run a different operating system on this platform makes it amazing
01:50.09zeso far this h2200 has been surprisingly easy to hack through its stock USB connection and the flash card(s), thanks to that rescue bootloader it's got
01:51.35zewhich it also helpfully boots into without the key combo once you've messed up trying to flash the 2nd stage bootloader and left it in a bad state :p
05:35.26zedoes http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/ work for anyone, or is it just me? i setup all the options, click the button, it tells me it might take a few minutes, i leave it for minutes, hours, days, nothing ever happens
05:35.55zewell not "all" the options, just a few, or some, or any, or none, nothing makes a difference
06:09.20zelooks like i got the kernel to build, just one line changed in its head-h2200.S to match the same change done in the equivalent file in u-boot's source heh

08:43.52zewell it's started responding now it looks like, succeeds at preconfiguring, then quickly fails everything else until it succeeds at assembling image heh
08:45.52zewell its got a few directories on it, a /dev with some entries, /etc/resolv.conf, and some opkg files heh
