Is it possible to make jlime work on Dell Axim x30?

Got any information regarding the hardware?.. arm/mips/sh/..? Ramsize.. and so on. The more the better

See the Axim X30 wiki page for more information.

Fell free to add yourself to the waiting list or begin active development by assigning yourself a job and joining the aximx30-port mailing list.
Linux Kernel

* Assign new machine type to X30. Done. MACH_TYPE_X30 = 655
* Compile and test minimum linux kernal.
* USBnet support.

So in short whats the current status? Seems to be somewhat unclear on the page.

Looks like supported is only CF, USB, lcd framebuffer... and nothing more.

That's it!

There is almost nothing done!!!!

That's why jlime could be interesting.
Is it possible to make jlime work on this device?

But ONE thing is good:
USB-Host works! And that's very much! You can add a USB-hub with Ethernet, WIFI, USB-Harddisk, souncard, Keyboard, Mouse...
That's exactly what's missing with mp900.

Perhaps both kernels can be mixed / integrated?

Let me see if I cannot merge the code into one of the linux-hpc.git branches. You should already be able to use the henchman userland without much problems.

Btw, it would be interesting to see how the usb-host is connected, maybe we could duplicate it on the mp900c.

Ill keep you posted. But feel free to remind me

Cant find any kernel sources / patches on the site. Are they merged into handhelds? Any way to get hold of a package of patches without needing to go through the entire source tree?

Here is config file. But (i hope) for patches you need to download whole source, here's some info:

the discussion page on teh hh wiki says that newer versions don't compile
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/AximX30Status
i played around with it a year or two ago but only got black screens on boot.
the original porter's links are all dead, but there should be a workable version in hh cvs somewhere
question is finding the right revision.
the precompiled version boots but i couldn't get usb_net to load b/c of the age difference between any modern distro and whatver vesion's in the initrd.
i'm willing to help get this working, my x30's been collecting dust ever since i got a j720

I found a good page that described howto to get it booting. Ive been adding the support step by step. Not at the LCD yet and thats why I havent built a testkernel yet.

From the looks of things, everything is supported inside the linux kernel so it just needed
some glue code for adresses and platform drivers.
Should have something worth testing in the coming days.

Im working on the 2.6.32-hpc branch if someone feels brave enough to give it a try, dont expect any graphical output though. Serial should produce something atleast.

Added the aximx30 machine to the 2.6.23-hpc branch. Currently framebuffer isnt activated but it would nice to know if it boots. If you got an serial connection you should download the branch compile a kernel (using defconfig) and give it a try.
