Description: This is a proof of concept Port of ucLinux to the Sony Playstation Portable.<br><br>Why?<br><br>----<br><br>Why not? Porting Linux to a Console may be useless (even more so ucLinux which<br><br>is really limited), but its fun!<br><br>How?<br><br>----<br><br>A tiny Bootloader made with the opensource PSPSDK is used to initialize the<br><br>Memory and a little bit of the Hardware. It decompresses the ucLinux kernel<br><br>into Userspace and runs it. Currently it relies on the Display Hardware beeing<br><br>initialized by the PSP Operating system (and PSPSDK) to make the Framebuffer<br><br>Console work. As you can see from the dmesg, this is also pretty much the only<br><br>thing that works at all.<br><br>Installing?<br><br>-----------<br><br>If you want to try this Kernel, copy the two included folders to PSP/GAME on<br><br>your Memorystick just like with any other Homebrew Program.<br><br>I have only tested this on 1.5, 1.0 Users probably know how to create a<br><br>suiteable File for them. 2.x Users are probably out of luck since the Loader<br><br>runs in Kernel Mode.<br><br>Since the Kernel doesnt really work it will crash with a Kernel Panic and then<br><br>hang, you have to power-off your PSP to quit.<br><br>Source?<br><br>-------<br><br>The Sourcecode will be released in a day or two. Give me the time to Sleep and<br><br>maybe even clean it up afterwards.
