<div>Why do you need busybox if you're just making a hello world program? <br />
The way I got started was to<br />
download buildroot-zipit<br />
http://www.openzipit.org/Development/<br />
Using this also tries to compile all the packages for the actual zipit fs, but all we want is the compiler toolchain it puts together. It would be good if we could get together to edit that Makefile to only set up the toolchain. Any thoughts?<br />
But anyway, running this Make takes hours, and then when you come back you see that it broke, but don't worry, the stuff we need got compiled and is in build_arm/staging_dir/bin, so from there you can use arm-linux-gcc --[[User:Tomdabomb911|Tomdabomb911]] 00:04, 24 September 2007 (EEST)</div>Tomdabomb911http://elinux.org/Talk:ZipIt_CompileTalk:ZipIt Compile2007-09-23T20:50:22Z<p>Tomdabomb911: </p>

<div>== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
The [[ZipIt]] Wireless Instant Messenger is made by [http://www.aeronix.com/ Aeronix] and imported from China. The official site is at [http://zipitwireless.com ZipItWireless.com.] The [[ZipIt]] runs a custom IM app running under linux. The GPL/LGPL source code is [http://www.zipitwireless.com/linux.html available or documented.] However, the object file for Zipit binary is not available for re-linking so they are in violation of the LGPL license for glibc.<br />
<br />
There is an active community of users working to extend the functionality of the [[ZipIt]]. This group maintains this wiki and a [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zipitwireless Yahoo! group.]<br />
* '''Technical details''' of the [[ZipIt]] (hardware & software) can be found on the [[ZipIt Tech Details]] page.<br />
* Details on '''modifications''' you can make to the Zipit (backlight, flash menory, ports) [[Zipit Hardware Mods]]<br />
* Alternative '''software''' created by users is available [[ZipIt Software]]<br />
<br />
<br />
The [[ZipIt]] can be purchased from Radio Shack (The Source) for $99 or [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=darrensautocropa&path=tg%2Fdetail%2F-%2FB0002XR9IQ%2Fqid%3D1101255239%2Fsr%3D8-2%2Fref%3Dsr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl23%3Fv%3Dglance%26s%3Delectronics%26n%3D507846 amazon] and other online retailers.<br />

== Project Updates ==<br />
'''July 2005'''<br />
* Greatly expanded information on installing the [[BURN3]] and [[OpenZipIt]] firmware, especially from Linux.<br />
* Many tech details have been moved to the [[ZipIt Tech Details]] page in order to simplify this main page.<br />
<br />
'''June 2005'''<br />
* Added two How-Tos: [[ZipIt WiFi Flash]] and [[ZipIt Compile]]<br />
* A software-only firmware modification is outlined in the former link.<br />
<br />
'''March 2005'''<br />
* Keep checking the Yahoo BBS for the latest current status<br />
* The core Linux components are now replaceable (including newer [[Busy Box]], telnetd etc). Also a way of reflashing a non-solder modified device has been found.<br />
* Eventually a software-only SDK will be released (soldering not necessary if you are careful with subsequent reflashing steps)<br />

<hr />
<div>I've been trying to connect my [[ZipIt]] to my university's wireless network for a month now, and it finally dawned on me that once you connect to a wireless network with WEP on, you have to explicitly turn it off before you connect to an unencrypted network...<br />
<br />
eg.<br />
<br />
To see a list of networks, both encrypted and unencrypted do a:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
iwlist eth0 scanning<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
To connect to an unencrypted network, you do a:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
iwconfig eth0 essid [ESSID]<br />
udhcpc<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
To connect to an encrypted network, you do a:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
iwconfig eth0 essid [ESSID] key [WEP key] <br />
udhcpc<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
However, if you want to connect to an unencrypted network after this, you need to do a:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
iwconfig eth0 essid [ESSID] key off<br />
udhcpc<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
I really hope I'm the only person that didn't figure this out yet... lol<br />
<br />
