astearon, Yes some people have been able to get a gui interface to work using a native uClinux linux kernel running on the PSP. The main blocker right now is there's no linux WiFi driver for the psp. So even though you can get a gui you'll have to sneakernet all data over. Or possibly use the minius...

Ok, I've given up on Sourceforge. Their admins that accept or reject projects are ridiculous. They send me emails asking about the project but the reply email doesn't work. I try to tell them that their email address is not allowing me to respond and they send another email asking that I only respon...

Sourceforge rejected us :-(

I'm resubmitting one more time before I try google code

*It's really weird that they would reject the project.

looks like the emulator is a no go...

"nope, we are not emulate any hardware through their mmio addresses and we don't even emulate kernel mode."

Using the emulator to run linuxonpsp won't work. (At least that's what one of the devs said)

Looks like there's a Java PSP emulator... http://www.jpcsp.org/ Here's a statement from their forums... "Emulation of the 3D graphics hardware is in the early stages. This leaves programs that use the frame buffer directly, such as through pspDebugScreen. In other words a few pspsdk samples wor...

Your project is placed in a Pending state until the SourceForge.net staff is able to review and approve your project request. The approval process may take 1 to 3 business days. We'll find out in a couple of days if sourceforge will allow this as a project. My guess is they will I'll update the foru...

Sourceforge would work but I don't think they allow wiki's. (It's been a while since I've used sourceforge). If they do allow Wiki's that might be the way to go. What this project needs is a central hub of information people can go to. Currently there's little bits of info in lots of different place...

manatails007, What this project needs is... 1. A good/reliable host for the downloadable source and binaries 2. A Wiki were data about psp hardware , uClinux kernel, minigui, kernel build process, minigui build process, and possible wifi drivers can be listed. Something like this... http://www.mytht...

vijay, I just did research into MiniGUI and you are right. It's definitely the way to go. Unfortunately there's not much user documentation (in English) available on the web. But, the MiniGUI wiki has complete and well written docs explaining it's use. http://www.minigui.org/docs.shtml Nice work get...

Someone appears to have already got Nano-X running on the PsP...

:-)

Nano-X seems like a logical choice for a Gui once wifi is working.

There is a MIPS R4000 port available...

Thank You M.Jackson for all your hard work.

"Why Wifi, USB is not enough to avoid "sneaker netting" ?"

Yea usb would solve the problem as well. It's just that wifi is more ideal.

This would be sweet if usb worked. :-(

"and DMA controllers (for audio, lcd, ms, etc.) ? I mean EFFICIENT implementation of PSP hardware in Linux, not a simple polling serial or ms device." A lot of this stuff is probably already handled by the Linux kernel. I'm telling you manually "sneaker neting" files from one dev...

"well, at least two persons already tried to make a psplinux, but curiously we don't hear about them now (or at least here). The major issue is about hardware. Those both psp linuxes are very restrictive and not very attractive in my opinion because of the hardware issue." The only thing m...

It looks like there is a driver http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libertas-dev/2008-April/001459.html But, the information Marvell is providing is not what the libertas-dev want. This is good and bad. At least there's "something" available for a driver to be created with. But, It doesn'...

Anybody have any updates about a wifi driver for the PSP running a native linux kernel?

This truly is the last hurdle

The kernel is running all we need now is a way to communicate with it from a remote system. As soon as that happens linux on psp will take off.

For those that don't have any programming experience email the people I indicated earlier in this forum thread that have experience writing drivers for the marvell 88w8686. Point them to this thread and ask them for help. Most likely they could get something working in less than a day. (if they have...

Getting a gui to work on the psp isn't that hard. There's all kinds of embedded x servers out there that would likely work. But without a network connection (ideally wifi) how much fun would it be? Once a wifi driver is available an X server will be ported. Some X servers might not even need to be p...

List of chipset vendors who are known to be at least partially GPL friendly Marvell Libertas (includes the 88W8305, 88W8381, 88W8385, 88W8388 and 88W8686) According to prplague on #openmoko, Zcomax XG-880M module might fit the requirements. Embedded Works provides SMD versions of 88w8385 which are 9...

In Kernel 2.6.22 support for a Marvell Libertas 8388 802.11b/g USB driver was added.

The PSP has a Marvell Libertas 88W8380. The 8380 seems very close in version number to 8388.

Does networking work?

I know there are several people that are very interested in running linux on the PsP. Can you give a specific step by step examples showing exactly how you got this working. I know it's annoying but if you can show... 1. Where you got the source 2. What files you modified 3. What modifications were ...
