-To install the built image, you'll need to copy bin/otheros.bld to a
|
|
|
-USB device, MMC card or CD image. The image will need to be placed
|
|
|
-on your media, at the path:
|
|
|
+The OpenWRT build will create both a 1st stage PS3-Linux image
|
|
|
+suitable for programming into the PS3 flash memory, and a 2nd
|
|
|
+stage PS3-Linux image suitable for loading via bootloaders or
|
|
|
+the kexec utility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- /ps3/otheros/otheros.bld
|
|
|
+The 2nd stage image is convenient for testing new builds. It can
|
|
|
+be loaded from disk, USB device, or the network by an existing
|
|
|
+Other OS bootloader. After the 2nd stage image is tested and
|
|
|
+found to be good, the 1st stage image can then be programmed into
|
|
|
+flash memory. It is recommended to use this method during
|
|
|
+development to avoid corrupting the flash memory contents, which
|
|
|
+requires a reboot to the Game OS to repair.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Then insert the media into the ps3, and navigate to 'Install Other OS'
|
|
|
-in the PS3's menu.

-Depending on your monitor, you may need to alter the kernel command
|
|
|
-line options. The default is to autodetect, which should work on most
|
|
|
-monitors. However, if you get a blank screen on boot, or you'd like to
|
|
|
-use a different resolution, you can specify a different video mode.

|
|
|
|
|
|
-To do this, 'make kernel_menuconfig' and go to 'Kernel Options' ->
|
|
|
-'Initial kernel command string', and add a video= parameter - for
|
|
|
-example "video=720p". You can also specify a vide mode explicitly,
|
|
|
-for example "video=9" for 1080i at 50Hz. Possible mode ids are:
|
|
|
+The 2nd stage image file is bin/openwrt-ps3-vmlinux.elf. It can
|
|
|
+be loaded with an entry in the bootloader config file. It has
|
|
|
+no initrd file.

|
+The 1st stage image is named bin/otheros.bld. It can be programmed
|
|
|
+into flash memory either from Linux or the Game OS. From Linux,
|
|
|
+use the command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- full screen mode: <video mode ID> + 128
|
|
|
- dither ON mode : <video mode ID> + 2048
|
|
|
+ ps3-flash-util -w otheros.bld
|
|
|
|
|
|
+From the Game OS, use the menu item 'Install Other OS'.

|
+The default video behavior is to autodetect the monitor capabilities,
|
|
|
+which should work for most monitors. More info on video modes can be
|
|
|
+found in the man page of the ps3-video-mode utility.
