Simple example:
Code: [Select]
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    printf("Hello World");
    return 0;
}
gcc main.c -o hw
needed 2 minutes (not overclocked).

For hello world? Wow...thats slow :o. If its that slow, then nevermind. I guess I'll just put lua/python or something lighter on there, and stick to my android phone for GCC.

I think ill add perl and lua, and try it, now, for the 2.5 hour compile process with my laptop...

Remeber: Change system/skeleton/etc/passwd and etc/securetty before the first build!

Edit: Made two rebuilds for tiplanet.org/nspire-linux-builds.
It works now, should be easier to read with a larger font. Also, the console output is faster.

Edit2: The bottleneck we have is neither the ram nor the cpu, it's rather the slow connection to our drive. USB 2 will make a huge difference.

How do I edit those two files? securetty is just a list of names (ttyS0, etc.), and I don't understand what passwd contains (default passwords?).

If this builds correctly I'll post it in the main thread so that people can use it. It contains vim, lua, python, and ruby, in addition to X windows. (It's based off xconfig)

When I enter nano on linux, the ctrl key state reverses, so whenever I press ctrl, it is off, and when I release ctrl it thnks that it is on. How do I fix this ???

Is this a touchpad/clickpad model? This issue was fixed just yesterday. It should be in the next nightly build at http://tiplanet.org/nspire-linux-builds/

On my Touchpad, when I use the defconfig kernel, tiny buildroot ramdisk, and ramdisk script from tiplanet.org/nspire-linux-builds, I get a kernel panic. What am I doing wrong? Can anybody help?

What does the kernel panic message say?

Edit: Does the kernel seem to work correctly after the panic?

Same here with a clickpad, but works with the expanded config kernel (except usb that seems not to be working fine with the most recent one/ones).

I used the extended kernel and it works. Thanks tangrs and gtugablue!

It may be that tangrs defconfig doesn't support bzip2ed images.

USB is not working with expandedconfig?
That's strange, I used defconfig as starting point, added some drivers
and removed the annoying logo.

With the other kernel, initrd and loader, every time I connected my Nspire to my PC the calculator would show a message saying a USB connection was made and the computer would recognize it as a Gadget Serial and use the corresponding driver. I was able to establish a serial connection using putty, even tough the console was always black (idk if it was suposed to show something but at least I know it was connected).
This time the calculator shows nothing when connected to my PC and the computer is unable to recognise it, calling it Unknown Device. I'm also unable to use putty with this kernel.
BTW, linux logo is still there, I'm using the expanded cfg kernel provided in the nspire linux builds homepage.

Which kernel did it work with and which did it not work? Did you connect any USB host devices to it beforehand?

To get a shell on the Gadget Serial device through putty, you need Nspire Linux to attach a shell to /dev/ttyGS0
