Anyone know if such a port is underway?

I don't think so:

I haven't had a chance yet but I think we should start organizing this into PS3SDK. Thoughts?

Any volunteers to write USB and Bluetooth drivers? :P

I've started working on a USB driver. Progress so far is that I've got
the register file memory mapped, so all that's needed now is to pull
stuff like OHCI driver, USB core and bootkeyboard driver from e.g. U-Boot.

Do we know the little technical name of the usb chipset?
Have you found some official documentation about it?
I would like to look for hidden and unused (yet) features...

Actually, a complete list of all chipsets that may be able to do dma on their own would be very useful...

The register files exposed are the usual OHCI for USB1 and EHCI for USB2. Docs are readily available, these and UHCI are the only hardware interfaces in common use. Meaning everyone uses them.

Generally you would be able to access the entire PCI address space with DMA from such host controllers, but for an embedded system it's of course up
to the hardware to define what "the entire PCI address space" really means. I haven't gotten to that point quite yet... :-)

Unless manuel-laptop is a PS3, that's not gonna work. Build it on a PS3, or build and use a cross compiler.

i got the same problem and im on ubuntu also... any help would be nice

If you have the same problem, then the solution is also the same.

what tools do i need to use in order to build an otheros.bld like the one in this application? I don't want to work on ydl on ps3, I'll do it at slackware in my pc. Do I need to install the cellsdk or the ps3toolchain is enough to make it?

Post by **emoon** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 7:00 am

the toolchain is enough

about what warren said, "PS3SDK". I am correct in assuming you mean like what happened with the PSP.

I get exactly the same error. I have ps3toolchain installed. I thought it was enough to compile it, as emoon told as well. Any ideas?

You are using the wrong compiler, depending on how you installed the compiler you will need to change the name of the compiler being used in the makefile (ppu-gcc for example)

Can i ask something?
With your project we're able to run unsigned code?

jimparis · Post by **jimparis** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 4:45 am

Yes, of course, that's what Sony has allowed us to do with the "other os" option.

This means you are not calling the right objcopy. You should change your PATH to point to the correct one.

ok i am so happy reading between the lines there is an exploit but i do not have a clue what you are saying ive bought my son a ps3 for his xmas he has a psp which i flashed myself but i am thinki8n the ps3 is goin to be differant is there anyway some one can write a step by step on this like they did with the psp so that us folk that arent to clued up in it all can do it for just personal use plz plz it would be great if i could get it done before he gets it for his xmas thankyou

jimparis · Post by **jimparis** » Mon Nov 12, 2007 10:32 am

Reading between the lines? LOL. Try learning to just read normally first. There is no exploit here, this is all using supported interfaces from Sony, and I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, but I can guarantee you that the otheros demo won't let you do it.

lettyann · Post by **lettyann** » Mon Nov 12, 2007 8:36 pm

so in other words theres no exploit and there wont be anytime soon well thats ok i have great confidence there will be at some point i havent seen anything yet that cant be done al just wait and hopefully it wont be to long and its not just me thats not reading properly i got this site from another forum maybe you should tell them they are not reading properly either

Maybe you need to read the forum rules again. There is no exploit and the guys here are only interested in doing things above board and legal. The forum you are referring doesn't have a clue.

Get this straight: what we are discussing in this topic is endorsed by Sony. Sony have given us the software and tools we need to do this. All we are doing is taking Linux out of the equation.

Gosh! :/
