The attached WHDLoad LinuxConsole file opens op a full-screen command line shell on your TV/monitor.
To use this:
Your use of this is entirely your own responsibility, I'm not responsible for any issues this causes on your THEA500.
v3.3:
v3.2.1:
v3.2: First release.
To use this:
- Extract the files in THEA500- LinuxConsole-v3.2.1.7z to the root of a USB drive that you know works with THEA500.
- Insert the USB drive in your THEA500
- Go to the USB drive and run the LinuxConsole.LHA file
- You will get the full-screen command prompt
- Use CTRL-D to exit back to the Carousel
- Note: As soon as RGL remove the 'host-run' option from their Amiberry version in a firmware upgrade this won't work anymore
Your use of this is entirely your own responsibility, I'm not responsible for any issues this causes on your THEA500.
v3.3:
- Removed stray 'the64' binary from bin directory, thanks to spannernick for noticing it
v3.2.1:
- Removed a lot of unused/unnecessary files from the WHDLoad 'THEA500' directory
- Moved the host-run command + invocation to the WHDLoad 'THEA500' C directory and startup-sequence file so the Amiga directory could be removed
- Change .uae settings to point DH0 to the WHDLoad boot-data directory
- Changed LinuxConsole.LHA to a 0-byte file as it is only needed to make it show up in the Carousel
- LinuxConsole_ol.uae still (loosely) based onAminimiga_ol.uae by Ami-Jimmy from AMiNIMiga project.
v3.2: First release.
- As there is no standard framebuffer console driver on THA500 I've used Yaft instead. I did make some minor changes to the source:
- changing the hardcoded terminal type to 'linux'
- changing the hardcoded shell path to '/tmp/bash' - v3.2 as I based it on my THE64 on-screen command line shell v3.1
- LinuxConsole.LHA + LinuxConsole_ol.uae are based on Aminimiga.LHA + Aminimiga_ol.uae by Ami-Jimmy from AMiNIMiga project. Thanks to Ami-Jimmy for letting me use them.
