Index of /users/alge/angstrom-ba
This directory contains stuff related to the linux porting
effort on the HTC BlueAngel Device.
I create these images with oe (openembedded), see the #htc-linux
irc channel for more info about HTC based phones and their linux
porting state. (e.g. at http://irclog.iclem/net/?chan=htc-linux )
Under http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/angstrom-ba/images/
you will find tar archives which can be booted using HaRet
after extracting to a second partition of a SD card.
Detailed HOWTO:

EDITED: currently handhelds.org semms to be down for several months, please
try meanwhile this archive.org snapshot

There is currently no way (and it would be far too dangerous)
to install these images directly, they are used from SD card
without touching the ROM.
The latest image is
http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/angstrom-ba/images/htcblueangel/gpe-image-htcblueangel.tar
After untarring this to a sdcard (see HOWTO above) unpack
http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/angstrom-ba/gpe-alge.tar
on top of it to get some latest changes.
Please also consider the default.txt file in the main directory
and put it on the sdcard as described in the above mentioned Howto.
My kernel patches have been moved into an extra subdirectory
http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/angstrom-ba/kernel-patches/
now.
If you want to update your kernel without overwriting your sdcard from scratch,
you can use my /etc/ipkg/alge*feed.conf files (in gpe-alge.tar) and the script
http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/angstrom-ba/scripts/update-kernel.sh
The reason, that a simple "ipkg upgrade" not works, is that I dont
increase the package release numbers of the kernel ipkgs, so you have
to "ipkg install -force-reinstall" the appropriate packages.
This is what that script does.
After running it, copy /boot/zImage-*.bin to /media/card/linux/zImage.bin
(provided your sdcard is mounted there and you keep your HARet + kernel
in a subdirectory ./linux on it).
