Linux...?

[Snooty]

I've heard whispers about the possibility of Linux being ported to the GP32 - but is it likely? Is it even possible given the hardware available?

I'd assume it probably is. The processor is fast enough, and I assume the RAM is sufficient to run it. Obviously it'd need a keyboard to work properly, but I understand that people are working on that problem.

Does anyone have anything more concrete?

Yes, its definitely possible. If empee.daug.net were still online for non-Finlandians, you could see a screenie of it. As it is, you'll just have to take my word that it *has* been done.

BUT it was done aaaaaages ago, and no news since, so I don't think anyone is working on it atm anymore...

Drivers are scarce for some of the hardware ... lots of source editing and recompiling required too.

If it's been done, why hasn't it been released?

 

[Shrike]

it wasn't released because it didn't work
if memory serves me the image showed the gp32 booting it, many an error occured

 

[esoteric_]

Yep...

... failed.
... failed.
... failed.

Man.. it would have been devine.

Hi! I am new here! this is my first post!
Since in Linux we can recompile the kernel, i think itz more tha possible to create a copy of linux for GP32.Although, technical knowledge is a must.
