Debian sid (armel) on SL-C3200

Notes on a "proper" Debian installation. We start with the applied-data armel-root-fs, an up to date kernel, and move to official sources.

The stuff relating to networking is specific to me, everything else is a standard install.

NAND restore to Sharp bootloader
Grab latest yonggun kernel (hda2) and modules, and updater.sh
Grab armel-root-fs
Grab spectrum 24 firmware
Uncompress (but leave as tar files), put all on root of SD
The following armel debs are needed:
console-tools and libconsole http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/console-tools
tzdata http://ftp.uk.debian.org//debian/pool/main/t/tzdata/
libc6 http://ftp.uk.debian.org//debian/pool/main/g/glibc/
wireless-tools and libiw http://ftp.uk.debian.org//debian/pool/main/w/wireless-tools/
Boot into emergency mode (B+D), fdisk and format /dev/hda1 as swap (256MB), /dev/hda2 as ext3. Putting swap as hda1 is faster.
Untar armel-root-fs onto /dev/hda2
Untar modules
Untar firmware into /lib/firmware
Reboot into flash menu (OK). Flash kernel
Reboot twice.

Login as root (no password)

dpkg -i the debs

Set /etc/hostname to zaurus
Set 127.0.0.1 localhost zaurus in /etc/hosts

Setup /etc/network/interfaces
dhclient
route del default gw 192.168.2.1
route add default gw 192.168.2.254

date 030410412008 (MMDDHHMMYYYY)
aptitude update
cd /sbin
mv start-stop-daemon start-stop-daemon.FAKE
mv start-stop-daemon.REAL start-stop-daemon
aptitude install libc6-dev

Run aptitude, disable automatically installing recommended packages

Get spitz keymap
http://inv2004.googlepages.com/keymap-spitz.tar.bz2
Untar keymap
mkdir /usr/share/keymaps/zaurus
mv keymap.map /usr/share/keymaps/zaurus/spitz.kmap
gzip /usr/share/keymaps/zaurus/spitz.kmap
aptitude install console-common - Don't touch keymap
install-keymap /usr/share/keymaps/zaurus/spitz.kmap.gz

aptitude upgrade
aptitude dist-upgrade (asks about libsasl2. Choose n to first solution, y to second. This removes libsasl2, which isn't available in armel.)

Fix exim4 moaning:
rm /var/log/exim4/paniclog
invoke-rc.d exim4 restart

Setup fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 1 1
/dev/hda1 none swap pri=1 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card auto defaults,sync,noauto,user 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0

Correct time and timezone:
aptitude install ntpdate
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
ntpdate uk.pool.ntp.org
hwclock -w

Strip out obselete packages
aptitude purge libdevmapper1.02 libopencdk8 slang1a-utf8

Load some modules we need that don't autoload in /etc/modules:
snd-soc-spitz
ohci-hcd

Xorg:
aptitude install xorg xserver-xorg-input-tslib xserver-xorg-input-void xserver-xorg-input-evtouch x-ttcidfont-conf xfonts-base xfonts-cyrillic xfs libts-bin libts-0.0-0

Get touchscreen working:
tslib is hardcoded to /dev/event0 at the moment, so we need to tell udev to symlink.
Do this manually:
ln -s /dev/input/event1 /dev/event0
Then add the following line to /etc/udev/links.conf to fix it on reboots
L event0 /dev/input/event1
To calibrate touchscreen:
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE="/dev/event0" && ts_calibrate
