What's new in dev?

[leprechaun]

Hi all!

Been a long time since I did anything with my good ol' e680..
A few days ago I decided to give it a shot again and flashed to the newest AB fw found in this forum. Apart from me missing the patched cg33 version for e680 I finally got it working.. =)

Now I'm wondering, are there any interesting projects around considering porting away from ezx
or getting those provided kernel sources working?
And what about compilers, heard somehting about my old version having trouble with floats, are there any working versions around? Where can I find them?

I pondering on getting a new simple phone, something like SE or Nokia, to be able to go heavy developing on the E680. Any nice suggestions?

hey, welcome back!!

well it seems there are a couple of different development options, and a lot has been done in terms of ezx-apps; but for me i know its good to have, and all starts with, a good cross-compiler, (see what you've started )

for detailed stuff on what's been tested compiler-wise you might want to seach through the mailing list archives at open-ezx.org; there they are really focusing on some serious development issues including cross-compiling options (float-stuff and 3.X gcc stuff), 2.6 kernel porting, reverse engineering native ezx lib calls, hardware (e.g. usb-hosting), etc.

I wanna switch to writable root file system (JFFS2). Now i can compile the kernel from source with loop device and jffs2 support. Also i can flash zImage and successfuly boot my phone. I can replace cramfs rootfs with jffs2 rootfs, mount and umount it. BUT then i change boot kernel option rootfstype=cramfs with rootfstype=jffs2 and flashed the phone it froze with hellomoto pic. I need a way to see kernel boot output. Any ideas?
