If you're looking to change something that needs kernel mode code run from old-style to 3.xx, check this out. It should help more than the other thread you linked above.

Alright, I've done a quick port of the bootloader to the 3.XX kernel.

Prebuilt:
http://localhost.geek.nz/psplinux/ucboot340.tar.bz2
(Install in PSP/Game3XX. Get vmlinux.bin and pspboot.conf from the kernel package, put them in the same dir)

Source:
http://localhost.geek.nz/psplinux/ucboot340_src.tar.bz2
(make in /kernelmodule/, make in /, copy kernelboot.prx and eboot.pbp)

I've tested on my 3.40 OE psp phat. I'm interested to know if it works for others ( slim? :D )

I just tested this on my 3.71m33-3 slim and it works beautifully!!
Thank you guy's,I'm willing to flash the bootloader or have a linux only psp for testing if you are interested.

[vijay]

ye i also tested it on my slim 3.71 M33-4 it works like a charm :P :P
but only problem is i cant switch off or exit ..... i have to remove the battery to get back to xmb

thanx alot for jackson and danzel :) :)

[Apeiron]

You don't have to pop out the battery, you should be able to just type "poweroff" in the console to shut off the system (po[tab] is fastest). "reboot" also works to shut it off, since it's a bit buggy and doesn't restart the system.

[vijay]

ye thanx Apeiron ......... i was trying the shutdown command ; its not working
poweroff command works ......... but while shutting down i hear a pop sound is it normal ????

im trying to get the mipsel toolchain
im folowing the tut on the web site

i downloaded the buildroot from
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/snapshots/buildroot-20071216.tar.bz2

but im unsble to see build_mipsel directory

I have had my website updated. There is a detailed instruction guiding you how to build the unified toolchain (very simple and automatic) and a few updated patches. Please visit http://jacksonm88.googlepages.com for details.

Cheers

im getting this error ........ while issuing the make command

Nice work on the 3.xx kernel port. Question M. Jackson - will your kernel take advantage of the extra memory available automatically?

Man, was that a badly formed post. What I meant to say was, will your kernel take advantage of the extra memory available in the slim automatically?

hi jackson i have upgraded to 4.2.1 as u said but still getting the same error :(

[morpheus5]

Jackson.
Suggestion:
for the OSK
Instead of using directional pad to choose the 3x3 character box, why not we use the keys on the right side to choose the charbox, this would be less frustrating for PSP phatt version.

for the kernel, how could we build MIPS initrd image? and how to run an initrd image without a bootloader?

Hi Jackson

i am trying to compile your new toolchain, but i have an error on libstdc++-v3 compiling gcc-4.2.1

this is the full error out:
http://pastebin.ca/842448

gcc of my pc is:

gcc version 4.2.3 20071123 (prerelease) (Debian 4.2.2-4)

any sugestion?


-------------------------

i try to compile 4.2.0 and i view the same error..

[vijay]

hi roge im getting exact same error as u r :(
im using ubuntu gutsy

[M.Jackson]

I have taken a look at the errors you posted and they all seem to me like the underlined headers are referencing certain type definitions or data members that the compiler did not recognize, which could be the result of differentiations in other system headers...but all of the system headers used to build this c++ lib should come from the same kernel/uclibc package that buildroot downloads, so having differences in those headers between your building environment and mine just doesn't make any sense...I don't know man. I have got no clue for the time being how that happened. But I was using RedHat 9 when compiling the toolchain. Could that make any differences?

I will keep looking into this.

[M.Jackson]

ok, I found some of the missing type definitions in file $(BUILDROOT)/toolchain_build_mipsel/uClibc_dev/usr/include/bits/uClibc_touplow.h. So maybe the compiler should somehow refer to this file (or its copy/soft link) when interpreting the code in ctype_base.h. Here are two suggestions:

The easier one (but less likely to solve the problem): try to change some of the config options in uclibc (by running make uclibc-menuconfig). There are certain tunable options related to glibc compatibility in strings and stdio functions and previously I decided to turn off some in the favor of size reduction ('cos glibc is powerful but also a giant monster for embedded at the same time). If you really can't get around the problem, try to turn them back on.

The harder one (more likely to work): find a way to force the compiler to look for missing definitions in the file i pointed out above, or just copy the missing definitions to those headers you were having trouble with.

[ale152]

Woooah!!
It works! AWESOME!
But.. now what can i do with it?
Can i use serial port or usb to connect a usb keyboard to psp?

[MythosGR]

Works great for me too (slim 3.71M33-4). Well done!

Hi Hiverful, Jackson

i was trying in last night to compile with the options and i see new erros..

from /home/rogerio/buildroot/toolchain_build_mipsel/gcc-4.2.1/libstdc++-v3/include/precompiled/stdc++.h:56:
/home/rogerio/buildroot/toolchain_build_mipsel/gcc-4.2.1-final/mipsel-linux-uclibc/libstdc++-v3/include/bits/locale_facets.h:688: error: '__to_type' does not name a type

but, now, i am in slackware 12.0 and my gcc is 4.1.2
my debian is in my work and i dont work on weekend.. :(

thanks for suggestions
