So I have this cool toy,the Sharp Zaurus SL-5600,and so far I’ve been kind of disappointed with the various ROM images out there,and I’ve been wanting to build/compile the development OpenEmbedded/OpenZaurus image for my Z. Up until today,this has been an excercise in futility. But for joy! I am finally in progress of what appears to be a successful build!
Hopefully once I get it buillt,I can start hosting the images for other n00bs like me to download instead of dealing with the tedious build process.
Update: Oops. Sometimes it feels like things are never that easy…

Update 7/27:Success!…kinda. I finally got the OZ devel stuff to build. I had to tell it to use the 2.4 kernel,and then tell it to ignore applying a patch that was already applied (apparently). It’s very much buggy. I see I’m not the only one to notice this. In any case,feel free to download the images here. Good luck!
