How to install pdaXrom on 6000L
From OESF
- applies to pdaXrom 1.1.0beta1 "kathrin" on Zaurus SL-6000L (6000 series)
I'll try to explain how to install this wonderful OS that is pdaXrom ! To be clearly, I do it step by step:
Contents |
Installation
1-Format your SD or CF card in FAT file system.
2-Put these files on your card: You can download these 3 files from: pdaXrom site 1.1.0beta1 for Zaurus-SL6000
tools.tar initrd.bin updater.sh
3-Put your card on your Zaurus and push the reset button. Then, hold the 'OK' button and push the 'ON' button.
4-You will see the "maintenance menu". Go to number 4 (update).
5-When your Zaurus reboots, you will see the pdaXrom installer!
6-Select option number 3 and choose 1 (resize), then set the size to 45MB or 47MB as you like and choose OK.[NO default value, please type in a size number]
7-When your Zaurus is rebooting, push the reset button.
8-Hold the 'OK' button and push the 'ON' button (to return to the maintenance menu).
9-You will see the "maintenance menu". Go to number 4 (update).
10-When your Zaurus reboots and shows the pdaXrom installer, go to the first choice (Install new ROM) and wait...
11-If the installer asks to you: "Do you want to format internal user flash now" Answer YES.
12-Then reboot. The system should begin booting. You will notice a Bluish pdaXrom banner at the top of your screen, and scrolling text below. The first boot will require a lot of time. This is because ssh needs to generate several keys.
13-Now pdaXrom is installed, let me explain to you how you can configure it.
Configuration
1-Zaurus login: root.
2-Now enter a password for root (for security reason). Use 'passwd' command to do it.
3-Then, do this (This configures your X11 environment to look pretty):
#tar --no-same-owner -xf /root/.home_default.tar
Now, your Zaurus is ready to play :) Just start X with:
#startx
Wifi Configuration
In its current state, 1.1.0beta1 wireless networking cannot be enabled using the GUI utilities
e.g. Wireless Router Info:
SSID or ESSID = ECHO WEP key = 0102030405060708090a0b0c (or 0102030405)
1-Edit the file /etc/wlan/wlan.conf
and locate the following line:
SSID_wlan0=""""
change to:
SSID_wlan0="ECHO" (or whatever you Router SSID is)
That's it. Save the file and move on.
2-Edit the wlan configure file
#cp /etc/wlan/wlancfg-DEFAULT /etc/wlan/wlancfg-ECHO
and locate the following line:
dot11WEPDefaultKey0=
change to:
dot11WEPDefaultKey0=01:02:03:03:04:05:06:07:08:09:0a:0b:0c:0d (or whatever you WEP key is)
3-Create a new file called wifiup in your home directory
#cd (gets you to /home/root) #vi wifiup
Add the following and save the file:
killall dhcpcd /etc/rc.d/init.d/wlan start dhcpcd wlan0 ifconfig
Once the file is saved, make it executable, and create a symlink in /usr/bin
#chmod 755 ./wifiup #ln -s /home/root/wifiup /usr/bin/wifiup
Now you can activate wireless by typing
#wifiup
4-Similarly, you could create a file called wifidown with the following content to disable wireless
killall dhcpcd /etc/rc.d/init.d/wlan stop ifconfig
again
#chmod 755 ./wifidown #ln -s /home/root/wifiup /usr/bin/wifidown
Now you can stop wireless by typing
#wifidown
Screen Rotation
(change from left to right)
1-modify /usr/bin/rotate.sh
change "left" to "right"
2-modify /etc/sysconfig/clamshell/scripts.d/x11src
landscape(){
/usr/X11R6/bin/xrandr -o normal
xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/tosa.xmodmap
portrait(){
/usr/X11R6/bin/xrandr -o right
xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/tosa_right.xmodmap
3-create the appropriate tosa_right.xmodmap
#cd /etc/X11/kb #cp tosa.xmodmap tosa_right.xmodmap fix keys in tosa_right.xmodmap (i.e. change UPPER/DOWN to LEFT/RIGHT and vice versa)
