Talk:HP TouchPad
--JF 19:38, 5 September 2011 (MDT) Some questions:
- Did you guys have any issue installing WebOS Quick Install? (novacom driver issue?)
- Some ebuilds are on Sunrise (outdated), maybe we should bump them into Funtoo? (I can get this done somewhere this week)
- After installing novacom manually, WebOS Quick Install still doesn't see my TouchPad. Any clue?
Edit :
- I had to run manually the novacomd from /opt/Palm/novacomd. Preware installed now :)

On my touchpad, there is no /mnt/internal. The vfat filesystem is mounted on /media/internal

Was a typo, now fixed... :)

Seem we need a functional ARM cross-compilation toolchain, I have some long terms projects running a an ARM processor not counting it would give me extra compilation power to use my x86 desktop for SPARC stages. I can give it a look once my emergencies are cleared.

We will be using http://landley.net/aboriginal/ which provides a distro-agnostic cross-compile toolchain. This is not absolutely necessary for the TouchPad port though as we have a Gentoo seed stage already, so Metro can build a new stage directly on the TouchPad.

Another small point : I had to remount / read-write in order to create /mnt/gentoo. If you remember having to do so, you should add "mount -o remount,rw /" in the setup of the loopback :)

On my touchpad, the vfat filesystem didn't allow me to create an image of more than 4GB. I decided to restart the Gentoo installation using a "real" ext3 partition following parts of this guide : [[1]]. Note that doing so will require to "reset" the touchpad to defaults (but it will keep your personal files). I created a 12GB ext3 partition, and then reinstalled preware/F4/Xecutah/Govnah/etc
