any updates on the how-to yet ???

any updates on the how-to yet ???

I guess I am going to go ahead and publish the toolkit seeing as how I've had no feedback from TomTom (I hope they're not sitting in wait).. I need to make a couple of minor fixes and tests, but no promises it will be this week as I am snowed under at work

[e.stoiber]

good to hear you,......

Since you don't circumvent any copyprotection, i don't see what they could do,....
I guess anyway they make their most income from the services they sell (Maps, Add-ons,...)
The Device should only be for convinience.

[rasva]

Still nothing?

[pelrun]

Speculatrix, you're killing me with the wait here ;D

Any idea when you might get time to work on a release?

[DonYouAn]

I would be happy if there would be a possibility to get a TomTom-Nav on the Zaurus. I use the TomTom Rider with my motorcycle an I must say, that I like this little helper. So I'm courious about the ipk release. Hopefully it will come soon.

I guess you can catch Speculatrix here.
He seems to be more interested in his new toy

actually, I'm hoping to play with getting tomtom working on the n800 too. problem is that between work and domestic duties I don't get free time in large blocks, and I need, probably, a whole day to make zomtom a relatively painless install. with angstrom being a rapidly moving target, no sooner do I do an ipkg update/upgrade then I find myself having to test and tweak. That said, now they're trying to go for an official release, I am aiming to set aside some time to start with a freshly clean zaurus + angstrom release and write the tomtom setup/startup scripts.

Here's my vote to get this released even in a buggy state!

[jocasmi]

So do I :- )

[speculatrix]

good news! I have managed to contact someone at TomTom who seems positive about the idea, has heard of the Zaurus and will ask someone in authority about it!

[speculatrix]

unfortunately my contact at TomTom has gone very quiet (not someone I knew particularly well) - hasn't responded to a couple of emails.

meanwhile, I have tried out the latest Go300 software, v 7.9 with Cortez's ZUbuntu, and I'm sad to say it doesn't want to run at all, I think it's something to do with the format of the binaries. I'll dig out an old version and see. Shame, because I'd put in a lot of effort to write an automated install/setup/starter program which was coming together nicely, it might mean having to run angstrom. I'll let you know.

--edit--
hmm, no, an old version of "ttn" doesn't want to run either. I am not sure I actually understand what the problem is! My hunch is that Cortez's kernel is missing something that allows it to recognise the ttn binary.

I get the same error when I try and run any of the tomtom binaries on my tablet. :-(
Is there anyone running a fresh release of angstrom who'd be willing to try something for me, I don't really want to b0rk my zaurus just as it's got stable with zubuntu. PM me please.

[pelrun]

Does the zubuntu kernel have OABI compatibility switched on?

[speculatrix]

lack of OABI was suggested by someone else, so I am going to ask Cortez if he can produce a kernel for me with both EABI and OABI turned on.

still no comment from my contact at TomTom, which makes me wonder what the hell is going on.

it's annoying 'cos I spent a while writing a complex setup/config/runtime wrapper, and Rick says he has got sound working.

--edit-- sadly there doesn't seem to be anyone on the ubuntu forum who can roll an OABI kernel for me. whilst we run ubuntu on some servers at work, I'm nowhere near having a zubuntu development environment up and running.

[risc]

I'm quite close to a full running navcore at my Z.
Using Debian 5.0 with 2.6.24.4 and chroot environment.
Have my own fullfeatured busybox, strace, strings a.s.o for debugging + faked procfs and modified /dev
Everything works fine incl. FB and TS, except maps. NO MAPS FOUND!
They are at correct location and ttn finds them incl. dct

I assume it blames on DeviceUniqueID, which is going to be calculated in some way.
Both of my ONE and my Z are different.
You mentioned changing DeviceID some posts before. I have no idea where to start.
Any trick?
