Hi,
I downloaded the lates snapshot and it worked perfectly for me, but my USB Keyboard (2,4 GHz Dongle) won't get accepted as a keyboard.
How can I compile your kernel to add the missing driver?
If I clone you linux-git-tree, configure it with the obvious settings for nspire it can't find any USB-Devices ("doesn't acceppt address").
Could it be I forgot to disable High Speed? But I couldn't find anything.

With my custom rootfs I can get X running .. a bit. The screen slowly goes brighter until it's completely white but the console still stays active in the background.
If I type "reboot\n" it works.
I haven't tested swap but gcc works fine without it.

Edit: If I use your config (through /proc/config.gz) it still can't find any usb-devices.
Edit2: It seems I'm hitting a buildroot issue with X: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2012-September/058504.html

Thanks for your Linux port :D

The screen slowing turning white is a problem with the framebuffer driver. It should only happen when the LCD screen goes to standby or turns off.

Regarding the USB keyboard, are you connecting directly from the calculator or via a powered hub? Wireless dongles draw a lot of power and the USB controller might not be able to keep up (AFAIK, the calculator can only provide something like 8mA of current compared to the 500mA mandated by the USB specs).

Every second line goes white and then it's like turning off an old Gameboy Color.
Even if X exits, I can't get the fb to work again.
Maybe wrong mode set, I'll try to get rid of that.

I use an external powered 7-port hub. With my custom kernel on my laptop it doesn't work, too, but with a standard kernel it does.
It's a sunplus adapter, I think I only have to compile HID_SUNPLUS into the kernel.
Edit: The keyboard works perfectly. EXT4 too, with its journal the filesystem will survive system crashes.

Sadly I don't have an USB WLAN dongle but a Fritz!BOX Fon WLAN 7050 with integrated USB-Network card, do you know which modules it needs?

@tangrs
Have you tried to build Octave or Maxima to run on Nspire Linux ?

I don't think so. Are those programs written in C or in C++? since C++ currently can't be run.

C++ is only impossible with ndless programs, with Linux programs it's no problem.

C++ is possible actually, to a certain extent :

The Maxima is actually programmed in Common Lisp which in turn requires a Lisp interpreter / Just in Time compiler normally written in C. Since have few dependences, this program can be compiled and run on Nspire Linux.
(And is the core software of my Linux from Scratch project called Maxima OS, as may on the future this communit to try build a new indie calculator)
Ginac is a CAS library written in C++ and is even more portable than Maxima.
The only constrain in Linux is the RAM and Flash disk size of the calculator.

Nception or nCeption definitively would fit really well for the name of such emulator.
