Hi All

Many Thanks

The prebuilt 2.4 kernels available to us dont have bluetooth enabled. They could be rebuilt to include the bluetooth modules however.

wicknix: any chance you could do the bluetooth modules as i could really use bluetooth on the alpha400

Just think if wicknix can do this depending on what setup he has
bluetooth in all 3MX's + etch that would be excellent. possible satnav over bluetooth umm
well wicknix what do you think !!
Many Thanks
Andrew

PS
are you feeling the pressure build up yet !!

T_Nut: i'm getting very close to having a go at the kernel myself. Not only have I not so far been able to run etch of the sd card (maybe needs ext2/3 compiled into the kernel not as a module and possibly tweaking the rootfs as well) but i really need a few modules for things like bluetooth and usb to serial cables. I just need to find the kernel source, any patches and make sure i don't screw things up

but wicknix is sooooooo much better at these types of things

Ultimately the hard drive i had all my 3MX stuff and compilers on bit the dust just before i released ultra3. I havent set up another dev environment yet since then. If you guys want to give it a go i found a few of the needed files.

thanks i'll setup a vm for it tomorrow and give it a shot

[rkdavis]

wicknix: just a quicky but which board type to use for the make defconfig-..... command?

russell

[wicknix]

pmp_defconfig for 2.6 kernel or defconfig-pmpv2 for 2.4 kernel

[rkdavis]

ok i guessed right then.

i've done a test build and it seemed to build ok. i need to actually try it now

[wicknix]

If it works could you rebuild one without the splash screen for me? I'd much rather see the boot process than a useless splash screen.

Cheers.
