The Ångström Distribution

The Opie user environment is now officially supported in Ångström, for the following devices:

• iPAQ h2200 series (h2200)
• iPAQ h3900 series (h3900)
• iPAQ h4000 series (h4000)
• iPAQ h5000 series (h5000)
• iPAQ hx4700 (hx4700)
• Zaurus SL-5600 (poodle)
• Zaurus SL-C1000 (akita)
• Zaurus SL-C3000 (spitz)
• Siemens Simpad (simpad)

Support for other machines is in the works. Read on below the fold for details.

If you want to help out your machine mentors by testing kernel 2.6.24 for akita, c7x0, simpad, spitz or tosa, grab a 2007.12-r9 image from the autobuild area, install it and tell us all about it.

Zaurus users should download the 'installkit' tarballs and will find the updater.sh, zImage.bin and rootfs file ready for flashing inside, the simpad users will need the jffs2 file and flash it according to the instructions on opensimpad.org.

happy testing!

You can get the angstrom 2007.12 release image for console-, minimalist-gpe- and x11-image for Siemens SIMpad machines from:

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/releases/2007.12/images/simpad/

If you own a 16 MB class SIMpad (CL4,WP50 or T-SinusPad) please use the console- or minimalist-gpe-image and install only the packages you need. The x11-image is too big for those machines. For 32 MB class machines I suggest using the x11-image.
