My whole purpose in doing this is to provide a method of selecting the movies based on JPG movie covers. The shortest path there is to modify the HelloWorld to do that. I have four items of discovery left before I can finish adapting HW. 1) Control power light. 2) Control wifi. 3) Passthrough input. 4) Record input. Then I can finish adapting HW to be a simple DvdPlayer. <br /><br />After that, I can start researching how to do display drivers for linux, then figure out how to replace the bootcode and the entire Linux environment with the one I started doing in OpenSPHD main project. <br /><br /><br />Offtopic, rather than trying to conduct conversation / coordination on this blog, it would be more appropriate to do this in a forum. I was doing it at Xtreamer, and the folks there were great. I was able to make some progress. But then they found an alternative method of accomplishing the movie jukebox, and our goals are no longer in sync. <br /><br />http://minimodding.com/tiki-forums.php has a forum I requested to have created for this very purpose before xtreamer won me over with a conversation already in progress. So I'll go to mini-modding and post areas I'm researching and what I've tried/know. I will continue posting progress here as I make discoveries, and over there as I'm working toward those discoveries. I'm just having a hard time tracking down conversations on this blog and it's not being helpful in recruiting more people who can work on the ScreenPlay or very similar device.Joman100https://www.blogger.com/profile/03003968843359860882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421400133233521188.post-762187011286426602010-03-06T21:08:21.153-08:002010-03-06T21:08:21.153-08:00Hello Joman,
I finally got the toolchain working ...Hello Joman,<br /><br />I finally got the toolchain working as you suggested in this post. Went through the steps twice. The first time around I still got the C++ not found in this system. However, the second time, it simply worked.<br /><br />I tried the Hello World App. Excellent stuff.<br /><br />I was wondering though, about rendering the graphics on the screen. I understand that you can control every pixel on the screen, how will things go from here?<br />Would it be a graphics API with a set of functions to display common components for a UI? Or could it be expanded into a graphics driver that X or tinyX could recognize? If an X server is used, would the realtek still be able to decode the media, or would the processor have to do it? (Does depending on the Dvdplayer library prevent creating a driver?)<br /><br />I know that this is getting ahead of things, but I'm trying to get up to speed with how all this fits together.<br /><br />Another idea comes to mind. Might be a bit early, but I believe it would be a good idea to divide the work into different categories. This way anyone who is interested can do some research and contribute to any of those categories. As things start to develop more and converge it would take the shape of a customizable replacement firmware. In other words, sort of a road map for this firmware.<br /><br />Am I being too ambitious? <br /><br />Thanks again for the effort you put in all this.Shadesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421400133233521188.post-58434583968714119612009-11-05T02:10:34.496-08:002009-11-05T02:10:34.496-08:00OK, thank you for your interest.

So I think the problem must be in the .config of the kernel, I cannot think of any other thing we could get wrong. I'll try to ask in the Iomega forum to deliver the .config file they used to build the package, otherwise it's pretty useless of them to deliver the sources of the kernel. I'll keep following your blog to see if you are successful in finding a way to build modules for this kernel. Good work 'till now dude! ;-)<br />Thanks, byerospogrigionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421400133233521188.post-8210045289082402002009-11-04T23:21:31.182-08:002009-11-04T23:21:31.182-08:00Sorry.

I also used this tool and came up with the same thing. It may take replacing the whole OS with the one compiled here, since we can't get it to match. I'll look into further another day.Joman100https://www.blogger.com/profile/03003968843359860882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6421400133233521188.post-27523070165468736402009-11-04T13:14:42.146-08:002009-11-04T13:14:42.146-08:00Hi, still me.

I think it is more correct to add comments here now... since I have tried this toolchain and the result is the same: module disagrees about version of symbol struct_module, so I have the same problems with CRC of the symbols. Facing a wall. Any other suggestions? Thank you, bye...rospogrigionoreply@blogger.com
