Linux on epods (revisited)

It looks like I have Linux working (to an extent) on my epods. It boots from CF with a ramdisk and stand alone shell. I put together a web site with more details: http://home.attbi.com/~shenning/linux-epods.

Very cool! I didn't think I'd see it happen because most of the hacking seems to have died down with the epods and the Linux port is pretty ambitious. It would be cool if you could get something like OPIE running on the epod!

Good Luck!

Thank you very much for the effort you have put into this so far!!!! My Epods have been shelved waiting for a working Linux kernel with serial console.

I see you are hung up on the Touch Screen driver, and wish I could help. Is there a USB driver for the chipset ( I would be interested in getting that up and running and have some experience with usb devices ) ?

Does anyone have the image that skinny referred to up top? He hasn't posted on the BBS in years, and there isn't an email in his profile.

thanks.

I finally found Skinny (see above) a year or two ago and actually got a linux kernel to boot. I could do ls and simple commands via serial console. I'm not a linux guru, but can find everything if someone wants to resurrect this.
