Call For Donations For Poodle Hardware

Marcin Juszkiewicz February 16th, 2006

Two weeks ago developer of Watapon ROM decided to stop its development. It was the only one distribution made specially for poodle (SL-5600) machines.

In OpenZaurus team we are unable to help poodle users due to lack of hardware (no device) and/or lack of developer with that Zaurus model. We release images which are expected to work because it does not take much time but sooner or later it could finish in abadonland…

Week ago few poodle users started thread on OESF forum about getting poodle machine for OpenZaurus team. Anyone can help - if you are user (or developer) then you can help with testing images, you can donate cash (or machine)…

When we get poodle we first work on getting current 2.4 based images works as they should, then device will be used to help with 2.6 kernel support (currently it should have SD/MMC, CF, USB working (and probably more) with small tweaks if not out-of-box).
