Welcome to this very quick and dirty project log for the Open2x project.
I will work on constructing a more elaborate website with more information at some point.
I guess if you have made it this far you may want to know a little about this new project, it’s goals, etc. etc.
Well I don’t really go in for manifestos and long diatribes about how this and that came together so I’ll keep it simple.

The Open2x project has come about to facilitate, release and host source code to support all manor of open source operating solutions on the GP2X handheld.
Initially the project will make available via SourceForge.net’s hosted CVS the stock vendor supplied Linux kernel source (2.4.25) for the MMSP2, the processing solution the GP2X is based on, and the stock implementation of the Das U-Boot (1.0.0) bootloader source for the MMSP2/GP2X. (source code will be imported into CVS over the next week).
The MMSP2 targeted source code to both these solutions was very kindly provided by MagicEyes Digital Co. Ltd..
The project may also make recent builds of popular open development libaries available for use by developers who wish to use Linux or just access the raw hardware to code software for the GP2X.
The 1st action the project would like to undertake is to clean, stabilise and improve the feature set of this source code to form the basis of future Open2x bootloader and Linux kernel releases on the GP2X.
To this end the project welcomes community involvement either directly on the project or via the mailing lists, forums, bug trackers and patch trackers available on our SourceForge site.
If you’re an experienced ARM Linux kernel hacker and you have just bought a GP2X and fancy helping us do some hacking around let us know!
