Slackware 14.1 has been installed on Gumstix Overo Devices and used succesfully with their expansion boards, with a 3.5 series kernel, built with Yocto, and BitBake.
Slackware packages install, and software built with "configure" and "make" also install and run.
GUI Has not yet been tested. In Progress.
The majority of focus will be placed on Installing, Running, and Developing Slackware 14.1 on Gumstix as Slackware 13.37 is End Of Life, and the 3.5.x Kernels built with Yocto, and provided by Gumstix support enough devices.
Using The Caspa / MT9V032 Sensor With Slackware 14.1 On Gumstix Overo
Make sure to use a 3.5 series kernel built with Yocto and Bitbake per Gumstix' instructions. At least 3.5.7. When purchasing your device you may be able to request they flash the NAND with an appropriate kernel.
Using The P54USB WiFi With Slackware 14.1 On Gumstix Overo
This may be enabled by default in a Yocto kernel. It supports Hot AP mode. Needs 5 Volts.
Using The rt2800usb USB WiFi With Slackware 14.1 On Gumstix Overo
This likewise may be built in by default in a Yocto kernel. Works at both 3.3 and 5 volts.
Using The LIS331 3-Axis Accelerometer With Slackware 14.1 On Gumstix Overo
This is an I2C device. Level Shifters may be needed on the SDA and SCL lines when your system voltage is above 3.3 Volts.
Using The MPU-6050 3-Axis Accelerometer With Slackware 14.1 On Gumstix Overo
This is an I2C device. Level Shifters may be needed on the SDA and SCL lines when your system voltage is above 3.3 Volts. Sources
