OpenWRT on the Sony PS3 Game Console |

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'. |

longer boots can be found here: |

To alter the kernel command line options, run 'make kernel_menuconfig' |
||||
and go to 'Kernel Options' -> 'Initial kernel command string'. |

|
||||
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. |
