uhhm almost all linux distro's will reboot.  all you have to do is type '/sbin/shutdown -r now' and it will reboot '-h' is halt.

My instinct is telling me to build the known-to-work pure free-xdk PBL app, and tool it up with some additional debugging statements to output the results it gets from the USB controller during initialisation.

I've given up on trying to remake ltools mini linux.. I have the stripped down VER working with out the UXE scripts and a redone linuxrc..

I've decided just to compile a custome kernal just for OpenDash.. (i was going to have to add SMB support and Keyboard with Xpad support unless i wanna steal gentoox's kernal.. WHICH I MIGHT!!! hahaha.. ) I have much learning to do on compileing the new kernal.. But i hope to churn somthing useable out (SMB SUPPORT!) Well good luck guys!

you shouldn't have to make manual changes to the header files to change the directory order.. just specify a bunch of -I(relative path to directory) statements on the commandline and that should do it for you just fine.  IE if you add -I../include it will look there before checking the standard header files (or at least, it should..) also try adding -no-cygwin on the command line if it isn't there, because we want to link against our own newlib etc..

[PedrosPad]

Some of the PBL sources #include <boot.h>, for example, which only exists in the std gcc header folders, but boot.h contains #include <sys/type.h> (yes, *.h files including others )- but there is no /sys/ folder relative to the gcc boot.h file, but there *is* one, say, 2 folders down in the free-xdk folders - which obviously it fails to find   .  All very puzzling.  Copying the *.h file and editing the *.c files was in desperation, not my first approach.

I wondered if it was standard Linux development practice to mount the /sys/ folder under the gcc include folder or some such.

[d0wnlab]

that's a good point.. Pedros do you know what environment free-xdk is known to work under? I didn't bother trying to get it to work for too long because it has *no* documentation whatsoever and just seems, I dunno, worse than openXDK in a lot of respects.

Considering freeXDK uses an old cromwell usb library, why don't you try doing what you're doing with PBL with cromwell instead?  (add debugging info, etc..)  It might be a better solution, I dunno.

I got the sources for PBL 1.4.1 and downloaded the cvs modules of free-xdk. After some trial and error and a bit of luck I managed to compile PBL 1.4.1 under a linux system (fedora core 2). Well at least it produced a xbe file, I have no clue if it works...

I'm puzzled.  Why doesn't the PBL makefile have a gcc switch "-Ixboxlibc/include/"?  Why didn't the original authors need this?

[d0wnlab]

I just spent another couple hours pushing through the cromwell source on my xbox that can get the furthest.  It's still crashing in the USB booting code and it's going kinda annoyingly bad.  Even if we get it working the interface sucks for anything but a dash (I don't think multiple controllers are supported?  they seem to not be via the API..) but that's all extensible I guess.. *sigh* I'm going to bed..

.

and here's one of my other project right now (will also work on openXDK, hopefully four player multiplayer tetrinet-style)

well, here's some pics of what I have working dash-wise

[Keo-Keo]

if you want i could give you shell acess to my fc2 server will some space.. you can compile the stuff and host it there too..
