http://blog.printf.net/articles/tag/treo650 en-us 40 <p>I've just taken advantage of the massively impressive work performed by <a href="http://www.shadowmite.com">Shadowmite</a> and others and installed Linux on <a href="http://madprime.org/">Mad</a>'s Treo 650. Here's a photo:</p> <div align="center"> <img src="http://static.flickr.com/40/112239512_7028adacb8.jpg?v=1142306105"> </div> <p><p></p> <p>Plenty more on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kosai/sets/72057594081694597/">my Flickr page</a>.</p> <p>I used Luke's <a href="http://gehennom.net/~tool/raw/treo-instructions.html">instructions</a>, but couldn't get the supplied watch-and-upload script working; it wasn't seeing the Treo's responses, so I ended up (after verifying that the connection was okay with minicom) just pasting in:</p> <pre> cat ./codeupload.load > /dev/ttyUSB0 ./sendimage ./zImage 0xa0800000 > /dev/ttyUSB0 ./sendimage ./initrd.gz 0xa1500000 > /dev/ttyUSB0 ./sendimage ./linuxupload.bin 0xa1d00000 > /dev/ttyUSB0 cat ./go.bin > /dev/ttyUSB0 </pre> <p>.. and hitting space on the Treo to boot Linux.</p> <p>Everything but the GSM radio is working now; it's hoped that that'll be on the way soon, as it presents itself as a simple AT command-set modem over a UART.</p> Tue, 14 Mar 2006 04:28:00 +0000 urn:uuid:65da99ff-d437-43c2-b97e-67e3c42abc09 Chris Ball http://blog.printf.net/articles/2006/03/14/treo-650-linux treo650 linux http://blog.printf.net/articles/trackback/1
