HPCARM Port for Dell Axim X51

[Thorsten Alge <lists%thorsten-alge.de@localhost>]

Hi,

after a while I found my old Dell Axim X51 and remembered I tried to
install NetBSD on it. Now I tried again. I followed the tutorial[1]
meticulously and got hpcboot.exe to start (kind of). I chose the WZERO3
kernel because its closest to the pdas specs. It seems to load and
execute the kernel and it writes info to /dos/bootlog.txt but what you
see is only the screen freezing in the hpcboot.exe.

The log stops with:

> 2nd bootloader vaddr=0x0057f000 paddr=0xab389000
> 2nd bootloader copy done.
> [progress] 8
> seg[0] paddr 0xc0200000 file size 0x3fae5c mem size 0x3fae5c
>         ->load 0xc0200000+0x003fae5c=0xc05fae5c ofs=0x00010000+0x3fae5c
> seg[1] paddr 0xc060ae80 file size 0x34cfc mem size 0x513e8
>         ->load 0xc060ae80+0x000513e8=0xc065c268 ofs=0x0040ae80+0x34cfc

I tried a serial console but the usb-adapter does not register as a
serial console on the connected machine (I don't know if the pda detects
it).

Is there a way to bring the kernel to write all detected hardware into
the bootlog.txt so that I can try to customize the kernel accordingly?

Regars
