uClinux Version 2.6.22-uc1 For PSP

[wraggster]

M.Jackson has posted a great release for fans of Linux, he has ported UCLinux to the PSP, heres the details:

Hi everyone. I have recently ported another uClinux of version 2.6.22-uc1 onto PSP. On top of the serial driver and the framebuffer driver, there is a new joypad driver enabling apps to read input from PSP buttons, and the a block device driver allowing linux users to access the Memory Stick in linux. And I have established a website for it: http://jacksonm88.googlepages.com/linuxonpsp.htm

Thanks to everyone who have offered me help on this.

VERY cool!
nice coding man, i remember a long time ago some people were working on linux with psp.
this looks good and i cant wait to see how far this goes

I just tried it out, very happy!
It has vi included,only thing I wasn't happy about was that the onscreen keyboard uses the dpad.I'm gonna look around and see if I can change that.Hopefully we'll be able to install programs easily one day.

Hell Yeah!, FINALLY! Linux on PSP (not being a POC...), the penguin is unstoppable!

BTW, Is this project related to PSPLinux from Chris Mulhearn?

I looked at his site and it appears that he has a prebuit toolchain for redhat 9...
Might not be so bad to compile apps,I need wifi and links!
Edit:Oops,that was pretty dumb of me,thinking I could use pikey.I wasn't really thinking.

I also tried the targus universal,no go but I'm gonna try pikey with it.

that wont work this is a diferent os. sonys os is nolonger loaded so no pikey.

That is very dumb that it doesn't use the nub....I can't press the letters in the corners and therefor this app is useless.

EDIT: My dpad is messed up, but I finally figured out how to get it working....I think this could turn into something good. Needs more programs installed first. Very limited at what you can do...no cal, time, uptime commands etc.

EDIT2: Wow, it doesn't even have the init command so I can't shut it down :|

I think this is a great advance, bringin linux to the psp has been a real pain in the ass, with many little issues that could have made the most patient one become desperate...

Still i'm very happy to have a 2.6.x kernel, a Framebuffer driver, A-Block support and serial IO to mess with.

Let's hope more skilled people get interested in this Linux port.

$n!pR,reboot actually shut it down for me,lol.
I think I'm gonna spend the night trying to install the toolchain instead of playing tekken,I need more programs.
EDIT:maybe not, the links on his website are broken

I'm not really familiar with vi,I usually use nano but when I hit control C I can't exit.
