After several days working, the 2.6.34-rc2 kernel is working on gdium expect sound. Of course most of the codes are from mandriva and Philippe's work.
I will make some code clean and make the sound work in the next few days. It seems the sm501 sound driver needs a hardcoded 8051 firmware to work. Damn it. [...]

Since there is a benchmark result of Marvell Sheeva CPU, we can run the same benchmark program [...]

New version of qemu does not support MIPS host anymore.
For the sake of portability, the new version of qemu uses TCG, a tiny code generator, instead of dyngen to generate host code. That means one backend is needed for each host architecture. There are i386,x86_64,ppc,ppc64 and hppa backend in TCG, but MIPS is not on [...]

Although Vincent has given us a how to article of debian on gdium, but there are some detailed things missed. So I rewrite it here with some more detailed steps.
(1) Prepare the new USB disk
Format the new USB disk with at least tow partitions, one is ext2 partition for the root file system and the [...]

This morning I eventually received my gdium liberty 1000 from zjs express, nearly 5 days after its shipping! Last time I use sf express to ship my mp4 player to Beijing in less than 2 days. I understand, because of the battery stuff can not be shipped by airline, but 5 days is excessive for [...]
