As you know the release V 1.03 is done. It's not possible to make a compatibility of all third party software to V 1.03.

Like:
displayserver V x.xx (link to download)
Picker and Voladj V x.xx (link to download)
Logoediter V x.xx (")
Emptris V x.xx (")
ect....

So everybody knows witch third party software can be used with V 1.03

It's only a suggestion....

Don't know if it exists yet ... But maybe some place where there are links to these various things as well. Though that would mean some extra work to maintain.

The current version of the Logo editor should still be 100 percent compatible with 1.03. In fact, it'll even be compatible with 1.1 when it comes out.

Picker/Voladj will need some work before they are 1.03 compatible. I am waiting for Richard to release an official 1.03 compatible Voladj, and then I think a new version of Frank's ioctl utility will be needed for it. At that time, I will re-assemble a new picker/voladj zip file and post it.

I can't speak for the other programs.

displayserver 1.1 runs fine on 1.03. For remote control funtionality, you can install the ir_trans kernel for v1.03rc1, which also has the irfake hack. http://empeg.dyndns.org/empeg

Frank,

How come the codes for the Pioneer stuff has changed? Or is that a question to ask the empeg people?

The empeg people have changed the way the IR-driver works. The state-machines have changed so that they generate different IR-codes.

I believe Richard e-mailed me code that will work in 1.03. When I get to work, I'll double check that it works and get a working kernel posted. Along with a new ioctl program.

Is there any specific help sites that have instructions on getting a crosscompiler to work right? Or are the instructions and toolchain on the developer site still working right for the newer kernels? I do now have a 4 proc machine at work at my disposal with SuSE 7.2 on it. Would be much quicker to compile the kernels on there compaired to on the empeg.

Can I get a copy of that patch? I was just going to sit down to get the old code working..As to cross compiling, it depends on your system. Under debian, it's as easy as doing an "apt-get install task-cross-arm".

Fly me to the moon...

I need to figure out what I did with the patch, I should have it posted soon.

As for the cross compiling, the main problems I ran into was using the old toolchain. http://www.hulkster.net/empeg/prog.php3 is back up, so I have the toolchain from there. (It was down last time I was trying this)

I do now have a 4 proc machine at work at my disposal with SuSE 7.2 on it. Would be much quicker to compile the kernels on there compaired to on the empeg.

Be careful with 'make -j' - 2.2 kernels have issues with it. In particular, the 'make dep' step should run without -j.
