Angstrom 2007 Opie Linux on a Ipaq h2200

This is my first test of CF Card image Angstrom distribution on my old IPAQ h2200 with WM2003 SE.
Fist, I was glad with WM2003, all my necessary apps works (MSN Messenger, Pocket Word, Opera Mini 4, TCPMP...) but why not give a chance to linux on this device? I use Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop, why not a linux distro on a PPC? I´ve tested some months ago the Opie image on a Tungstein E and it was amazing, and on the PPC the system looks very stable so far. I didn´t need to replace the original ROM, I´ve used a bootloader and it works! I´m working to setup the system to communicate with my Ubuntu (by USB ethernet, any ideias?) to access the ppc by ssh and put some apps. Just one note...DO NOT APPLY A SOFT RESET, or you will gonna cry (to back to WM2003, you HAVE to apply a HARD RESET...).

Esse é meu primeito teste com uma imagem da distro Angstrom no cartão CF, em meu IPAQ h2200 com WM2003.

Primeramente, eu sempre estive satisfeito com o WM2003, todas minhas aplicações necessárias funcionam (MSN Messenger, Pocket Word, Opera Mini 4, TCPMP...) mas porque não dar uma chance ao linux neste dispositivo? Eu uso o Ubuntu 7.10 no meu laptop, porque não linux no meu ppc? Eu testei há alguns meses atrás uma imagem do Opie para Tungtein E e foi impressionante e no PPC o sistema é bem estável até o momento! Eu não precisei substituir a ROM original, usei somente um bootloader! Estou trabalhando para fazer o sistema comunicar-se com o meu Ubuntu(via USB ethernet, alguma idéia?) para acessar o PPC por ssh e inserir algumas aplicações. Somente uma nota...NÃO APLIQUE SOFT RESET, ou você pode chorar! (para voltar ao WM2003, você TERÁ de aplicar um HARD RESET)

Has someone succeed booting angstrom with opie 1.2.4 on the h22xx using an internal flash memory?

[joaosombranewhouse]

I'll try it one day, but I'm looking the Google's Android port evolution (I've seen one for HTC devices)

[spiderbaby1958]

So the basic idea is to boot off a cf card as if the card were live cd?

I just got an ipaq h2200. I know nothing about PDAs, but I'm sure as hell not going to get Windows for my PC just so I can synch my PDA. Thanks for the vid!

For IM program, I´ve took a look at AMSN, because i´ve seen at feeds that has Tclk libraries, and AMSN is built on this one. I´ll try later with a older version and look how thing will go!

Have you tried to connect to a GSM cell phone with IrDA? I´ll try this one also

Thanks for reply

[joaosombranewhouse]

Hi, Are you brazilian too? eheh

I´ll try your setting later, thanks for reply, now I´ve reinstalled all my system again, and g_ether works, I could connect by ssh and download packages by ipkg (but Angstrom don´t have too much packages)...only on M$ yet, but I´ll try to set up my linux.

I have installed AbiWord (really wonderful), Contacts, Calendar, Photo Gallery ,Calculator, Webbrowser...but at this one, I´ve not tried to use it yet, because I really want to connect by a GPRS account

oh... sorry, on the iptables comand it's not -j SNAG, it's -j SNAT
