I ordered from hpcalc.org that Walter mentioned and I can confirm that you receive a nicely finished product. I've also created several WP 34S and 31S devices myself. If you have a steady hand and lots of patience, it's not at all difficult, but not everyone is cut out for that job. Flashing on Linux works well with MySamba. The Windows version of the emulator works well under Wine but I see no reason to use that instead of the native Qt emulator. If you'd like to compile the Qt emulator, you'll need the standard Qt development tools and libraries, there's no trick to be aware of. If you'd like to build the flash image on Linux, you should install the Yagarto 4.6.0 toolchain under Wine (it's a Windows package). That's the only compiler that's currently known not to miscompile the flash image. Other versions and builds of GCC often cause problems. Those problems can be quite subtle and may not be easy to notice quickly, so you really don't want to go there unless you want to debug compiler bugs. I've created tiny scripts to invoke the Yagarto tools through Wine as if they were native Linux binaries so 'make' just works. I recommend you do the same. However, starting up Wine has a lot of overhead, which makes compiling the library with the constants slow because that involves invoking GCC very many times to compile small files one by one. I also have a native CodeSourcery ARM GCC toolchain installed in my Linux development environment and I modify compile_consts.c before every build to invoke the native GCC only for the constants, it speeds up the process greatly. I have verified that the constants aren't miscompiled (it's only data, there's no code in those modules). If you'd like to get involved in the development, I suggest you first check out features.h to see the compile time options already available. My builds and patches can also give you an idea of what's possible with the code base. If you have further questions related to using these things on Linux, I'm happy to help. |
