Himalaya Progress

The first step was taken as HaRET is running on the Himalaya.

Works:

• HaRET was compiled from source and can be used with SynCE from a Linux PC. It's a bit unstable though!
• Booted the first linux-2.6.1-rmk0-hh0 kernel on Himalaya. See HimalayaLinuxBooting!
• Made some steps in disassembling the bootloader and nk.exe: see supporting IDC scripts at HimalayaHardware
• Found the proper settings for the LCD (ATI chip and GPIO B wires: see HimalayaLCD
• The first kernel that boots on Himalaya was checked into the SourceForge CVS!
• Fixed: USB is now working properly in the latest kernel in CVS, including usbnet support!
• Updated the kernel in CVS to linux-2.6.3-hh0-xda0.
• Updated the page HimalayaLinuxBooting to reflect booting a 2.6.3 kernel including zImage and InitRD
• 10Mar2004 with kind assistance from Texas Instruments, got the touch screen (a TSC2200) working.
• 17Mar2004, managed to get a response from the HimalayaGSM modem (reset working).
• 23Mar2004, managed to send "multimode" commands and get a response!
• 27Nov2005, boots with kernel-2.6.12 See HimalayaLinuxBooting!
• 30Dec2005, Blueangel ASIC3 MMC/SD driver adapted - works! hurrah!
• 10Jan2006, Blueangel audio driver adapted - works with exactly the same bugs as a Blueangel...

Todo (See also HimalayaToDo):

• Research the proper initialization of GPIO and ASIC3 GPIO
• Investigate Keypad and Battery reading in the TSC2200, and "jitter" from the touchscreen.
• Get DiskOnChip - 32MB - working. 24nov2006: someone got ?DoC millenium+ working on another device - needs checking.
