new bootloader, Kernel 2.6, fbpanel

please read "step-by-step" instruction before flashing.

hmm, extreme testers only....
This is too tempting, will certainly give it a try later

EHEHEHEH!! You told me and you did it!! HIHIHI!! You are the best!
Now, extreme testers only, what do it means?
You hadn' t time to test it deep or have not yet tested?
Do you think i can begin to pass the all Contrib on the Beta4 or i have to wait some?
New Builder and SDK?
Tell me what you think i have to do, because now with the Beta2 it's stable enough, if it' s like that i' ll have no problems to begin working on it.
I would like to pass directly to Beta4.
GO ON LIKE THAT!
BYEZ!
-
extreme means no one tested it yet - just me! For me it work ok.
I need another testers.
For your stuff, ill write overlay documentation at evening.
-
What advantages does this new bootloader bring over whatever beta3 used?
Sashz just mentioned overlay so I'm presuming that video acceleration is in? Whoop!
What difference is there in the amount of free memory available with this 2.6 kernel over 2.4? I don't mind losing a few meg RAM for extra speed though.
Its very annoying for us C3000 owners always having to wait for a port when an exciting new distro like this gets released- where are you Thc? iamsmith? Get porting asap pretty please!
Can't wait to hear how the new zpsx runs under beta4!
-
Sl-6000 need 1.1bate4 PDAXROM too.

Hi,
I just tried beta 4 on my C1000, but only the first step (C+D+power. green light for ~20 sec.) works. The second step (ON+power, release after 10 sec.) doesn't work, The zaurus wont turn on and no emergency-system is booting. only thing working is C+D+power and diagnostic menu. I did everything exactly as it's written on the page. Any hint what could be the problem?

Could someone post a screenshot of the new hotness, so those of us who can't help with the extreme testing can see what we are missing?

Right Sash,if it' s so, this evening i' ll begin installation and port of my stuff.
BYEZ!

Good work Sash! UBoot should rock. I'm going to give that a try on my C3000. Do you have an idea what would be necessary to make it work on other models (tosa for one)?

Okay, probably new bootloader flashed ok.
1) eject battery
2) unplug power adapter
3) Press and hold ON button ("ON" , not "OK", as before in sharp loader).
4) Hold "ON" button and plug power adapter.
5) Hold "ON" about 10-15 sec
emergency linux must booting
after as you boot emergency linux, you can insert battery and close battery cover

I had exactly the same problem with my C1000, am wondering if there is a typo within the instructions or a missed step?
Luckily the NAND restore worked perfectly so no harm done.

Nope nothing. Should the emergency boot just pop up during the button holding of step 5?
I have removed the battery and the SD card. I have the CF card (FAT16) with both files from the site unzipped onto the root.
Everything else, up to this point, works as described on the website.

Currently i added Cxx00 and C7x0/860. Probably for tosa need add tosa NAND flash driver. That easy with one from kernel sources. I'll look later.

I have the exact smae problem on my C1000. Has anyone gotten this to work so far? If so, what model are you using and did you do anything different from the instructions? I have tried with the battery switch in both positions, holding the "ON" button for different lengths of time, anything I can think of.
I am eager to hear from anyone who has successfully flashed.

Hi,
I've just tried on my 3200 and can get the bootloader on, but it's not Emergency booting . . .
Any ideas ??
Thanks

On my C3100 I have exactly the same problem too.
-
-I have used poweroff command to turn off my SL-C3100...
-Next I put my SD Card... with FAT16 ... but cant install bootloader because both LEDs flashing, my SD card dont have factory format... any tip? I have tried with a MMC and RSMMC ....
-Now I cant turn on my Z! any help?
-
On the mail.pdaxrom.com Sashz mentions that he's found the error and is correcting it. So shouldn't be long.
-
This is cool, thanks sashz!
I'll be looking into it tonight!
Awesome!
-
Man I wish I would have read indept first... I have a unusable Zaurus... and I'm too lazy to walk upstairs and pull my NAND off my my server and copy it to my Microdrive...
So.....
I think I will just wait for sash's return...

Where can I downoad the C7x0/860 beta4 ? I would love to help out with the testing effort.
-
I7ll give it a shot.....maybe this weekend, maybe sooner. Been looking forward to 2.6. Haven't a clue what advantage we'll see with uboot. mickeyl's enthusiasm is encouraging, though
-
I working for fix this problem. Please wait :-)
-
today i'll buy another SD card extra for testing beta4
Just looking forward to see 2.6 running.

-
perhaps my question is stupid but why the testers doesn't test the new release on sd card instead of the internal memory of the Zaurus ?
The new boot loader is just a new way to boot your Zaurus ...
i have another question : the 2.6 kernel package with the beta4 is video accelerated??
very big thank you for your work sash !!!
you make me love this rom !!!

1)yes, i'll think about booting from card for testing.
2)yes, qvga and overlay included.

I'm assuming that this would only work if you've upgraded your zaurus to the new boot loader and keep with that? So if that's right, you'd only be able to do that when you're settled on using a version of pdaXrom that uses the new boot loader?
If that's the case, when the stable version is out and people are using that rather than the betas, it'll make beta testing the next version a lot easier right?
-
Sashz,
Can you point me at the 2.6 kernel sources? I'd like to rebuild Bestcrypt ...
Thanks,
Mike.

Fantastic news! Good work sashz- I can't wait to see this new release running.
What about cpu scaling?
Am I right in thinking that uboot will bring us a unified pdaxrom for cxx00 including C3000?
-
danbold: under 2.6 Zaurus models are more united then under 2.4:
- c7x0 kernel handle c700/c750/c760/c860/sl-7500
- cxx00 kernel can handle c1000/c3000/c3100/c3200
In OE/OZ we splitted cxx00 into :
- akita (c1000) which boot from flash
- spitz (c3000/c3100/c3200) which boot from microdrive and does not use flash
How Sashz will use it is his choice.
-
What about cpu scaling?
yes.
-
sashz .. i love you
sorry ...
cpu scaling + video accelerated ...
My Zaurus is not a pda, it's a real computer !!!!
can we boot the new beta on sd or cf card without replace the original boot ?
the problem mentionned by a lot of people is fix or not ? It's hard to wait for testing the new release !!!!!!!
thank you very much !!!
-
Could someone please explain CPU scaling? I presume it's not the same as overclocking, which you can do already! Which devices support it?
And is there any graphics acceleration possible on the 7x0/8x0 models or is it only the 1000+ models?
Thanks.

If you application need more CPU the kernel do overclock or if you not need CPU this goes slow and save battery... nice not?
-
Ah thank you - so it's dynamic overclocking, and underclocking - nice indeed!
-
sashz, cpu scaling is already set up in the rom or do we need to set up manually?
the kamp-idled is th daemon who manage the cpu scaling?
thanks
-
ok I bought a 512MB SD Card now and tried to flash... as the others explained the bootloader thing works but emergency linux doesnt boot (as I thought before).
Is it necessary to install a backup again for the next try (after you fix it) or should I leave it for now until you release the fix? I don't need the Zaurus at the moment so I am lazy to install a backup again

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=126533\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
Very nice, but my experiences with frequent lockups when overclocked let me wish that there should be a configurable overclocking limit!
Under normal working conditions I didn't have these lockups, but when overclocked, then plugging in an USB device and at the same time starting a program, or similar conditione, which CAN happen but are rather rare I guess.

oh... it seems that there are news on the blog of beta4... it has a new title:
pdaXrom 1.1.0beta 4 and new bootloader - for extreme testers !with serial cable! only
-
Serial Cable only????
I guess when I get home... beta3 is going back on... 24hr no Zaurus... I can't take it no more...
Late
-
I don't understand. Why is a serial cable needed?
-
Pdaxrom 1.1.0beta 4 And New Bootloader, SL-Cxx00 yet, for extreme testers only
Could you rename topic please ?
SL-Cxx00 = SL-C1000 / SL-C3000 / SL-C3100 / SL-C3200
Thanks you
-
ok... I have a slight idea....
Back when I ran the Familiar Distro on my Ipaq 5550... you would install the boot loader... then after that was loaded you would do a key combo (Direction button + Soft reset)... and it would boot into the (I assume) emergancy console... they you would terminal into the device and upload the jffs image via the terminal using YModem ...
Might be going the same route... or just a way to go about it... for the time being....
-
sashz!
1- where we need serial cable? for restore?
2- Have you used a SD or CF card to install beta4, and what is you Z model?
-
cpu scaling and overlay? A tremendous gain. I'm dying to try it. However I don't have a serial cable for my 3100, and it doesn't seem like peole are having a lot of success yet.
will this support 4 gig sd? (in theory, even though it likely hasn't been tested)
-
thats the problem... it seems that nobody has a serial cable (why should people do )
So we have to wait until sashz fixes it... hopefully soon because I'm also dying to try.
btw. I'm restoring a Backup now because I think it will not be ready today and tomorrow I'll need the zaurus again.
-
oh no... my c3100 doesnt boot after restore. d+m menu still works but the zaurus doesnt boot. it's like beta4 after installing the bootloader... nothing happens.
Damn I tried it a second time... no boot-up. do I have to restore the old bootloader also?
-
http://mail.pdaxrom.org/node/78 (http://mail.pdaxrom.org/node/78)
new u-boot uploaded,
instruction updated
-
thx.... already trying it!
Edit: emergency system works!!
-
Is the new beta version sure ? I mean no installation problem ...
i want to try it but i don't want to have problem during install like the other people ...
-
I was able to install it now!
What I can see is a beautiful pdaXrom with 2.6 kernel!
thx sashz for that great work!
I'll have to go now back to my Zaurus

what is your first impression?
-
A few things:
*After changing some settings in "Look and Feel" the background remains grey and there are no icons.
*eXit doesnt work (have to kill X with ctrl+alt+bs)
*reboot doesnt work (need to open the battery and press the button to reboot)
Edit: the second time it worked
*the speaker runs at the same time as the headphones (important for me!)
*no changing of backlight with fn+3 and fn+4
*display is somehow dark at all
*CPU Config doesnt work
*USB Config also not working
-
For network card - launch Lan & Wifi from Settings and add new configuration with name as your network interface "eth0" , "wlan0" , etc
We will rewrite this utility soon.

Ive loaded this rom
CF/SD Manager shows Hitachi Microdrive. Does not detect inserted CF cards.

We will rewrite this utility soon.
-
please could you make the headphones work without the internal speaker at the same time? because i need the zaurus also as mp3-player.
or what do I have to do? in xmms it's best to use OSS driver, is that right?

Can someone please post the `dmesg` output?

Hi, I seem to be stuck. The emergency boot happened and I have a screen come up saying:
pdaXrom emergency system
==================
pdaXrom [Akita]
Loading /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/Akita/keymap.map
Processing /etc/profile... Done
-sh.3.00#
Now the notes say:
4) Screen on and emergency system will booting
Ok that seems to have happened above.
5) After booting, it will detect SD or CF and run autoboot.sh script
Has it done this?
Now the next step is step 7 (is this s typo?, as step 6 is missing)
7) After flashing, it will reboot and pdaXrom will booting - time for battery insert
Well... mine seems to have got stuck somewhere along the line or I'm a missing something here, which is entirely likely. Anyone able to help, please do. :-)
-
On my C1000 loading from a CF....
I had to edit the autostart.sh and change the
LOC=$1
to
LOC=/mnt/cf
After that the install started and rebooted fine...
Try that omro

It happened the same to me. I just started again from step 1 of "Bootup emergency system" and at step 3 I kept maintaining the ON button pressed, I saw many lines like "writing block number ..." and then the system tried to reboot but then I probably messed up with the battery. So i waited a few minutes without battery and unplug, reseted the device, reinserted the battery, plug the power and turned on the Z and then it booted.
After a quick try:
* it uses fbpanel instead of matchbox-panel
* screen is quite dark right after entering run level 5 when booting and remans dark after.
* sound problem
* USB config doesn't work
* Suspend/resume seems more reliable and responsive
* Rxvt instead of aterm
* Card applet gives more details
Nice work, it seems promising. Congrats !

On my C1000 loading from a CF....
I had to edit the autostart.sh and change the
LOC=$1
to

After that the install started and rebooted fine...
Try that omro
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=126631\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
Did that and still nothing happened automatically, but I tried something which I tried without success earlier. I did:
[/CODE]
cd /mnt/cf
./autoboot.sh
[CODE]
And then it started the writing blocks thing, rebooted and now I have pdaXrom 1.1.0 beta4 to play with.
So that little text change helped thanks InSearchOf :-)
And of course thanks to Sashz for something new to play with.
Can't wait until all the bugs are ironed out and I can migrate to pdaXrom permanently :-)
One little thing I've noticed is that right click has changed, no longer function+screen tap. It's now shift+screen tap. Is that a planned change?
Also is it just me or are others finding that single taps on the scroll bars cause it run away as if it was being held down?
Also the "start" menu exit brings up the exit box, but pressing OK does nothing.
And the soft reset button doesn't seem to work anymore in the battery bay.
Also the xpdf cropping bug seems almost, but not entirely fixed. It's way better than it was though.
Looks cool though and I like the new panel :-)
-
Works for me!
Formated my old SD 128MB with:
$ mkfs.vfat -F 16 /dev/sda
12) If both LEDs flashing, that mean bad CF or SD, or non FAT16.
My two leds flashed but this install u-boot... Nice!
My Z is back to life!
All worked in auto mode... not need any manual change...
-
Screenshots please
-
Is it just me... or does the fbpanel has a shadowing graphics bug directly above it...
just checking to see if it is something wrong with my image... because I didnt see anyone else mention anything about it...
Also I will have to compile new drivers for Specturm24 cf... I think I can get that working shortly... give me about 30 min... :-)

given that it does cpu scaling, wouldn't it be reasonable for the cpuconfig to be vestigial and worthless? The issues that you'd resolve with it are handled automatically now.
imho the usb is a major issue, the headphone/speaker thing is pretty import, as is the lighting and the look and feel. Sashz is making fast progress, though. I guess these will be solved soon, at which point I'll flash. HOw is the speed? the video acceleration? Those of us who haven't flashed yet are very curious to know...
-
I've noticed that if you click on the clock you get a weird pop up box saying
xmessage
please define some command
I've noticed that the suspend/resume does it's old trick of pressing suspend in the "start" menu and then later when you press the on button, the screen flashes up for an instant and goes black again.
I too can see a faint shadowing above the panel, but only visible to me on the background, not on running apps.
I'm almost loathe to say this, but things feel slower to open and close and react, on the few apps I've tested. I hope that's just me.
I also can't get the get the system to halt or reboot from the command line. The former results in a "the system is powered off" message. The only way to then turn it off is to remove the power cable and battery. The latter just hangs.
-
My firts impressions!
1- Man this is very fast... now
2- Screen is a bit dark, yeap I setup to level 6 (MAX) .... and need more backlight!
3- Suspend/Resume is very nice now not long times ever...
4- Damnit ... my screen ... I need more backlight!
5- I see this shadow above fbpanel, too, is it a LCD wron settings?
We have the power!
-
*display is somehow dark at all
I can agree BUT... I LOVE IT... it a lot more crisp... yes before I could rant and rave (Positive that is) about how bright and clear it is... but now I can say how crispt the quality is... not to "shiny" and reflective..
Another small addition...
No more OSS Mixer... its now ZMixer... it looks more to the point... but there has be a way to get rid of the CD and Line volume controls... NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THEM!... but I might work on that...

I've noticed that if you click on the clock you get a weird pop up box saying
xmessage
please define some command
fbpanel does that on my SL6000 under RC12 - I believe you can define a command in the '~/.fbpanel/default' config file to change the time...?

There is a error msg on hotplug in boot time about pci mapping

i've successfully flash pdaxrom 1.1.0 beta4..
Everything seems to work faster..
Suspend seems to work better...
There are bunch of error during startup.. but boot up with no problem..
I found one problem..
When i attach my usb ethernet adapter and assign an ip address, the whole screen (and the panel) will start to flicker.
Anyone have the same problem?
Sashz ... u're great...

Is there a way to show the current clock speed that the cpu acceleration is setting?
I ask because I ran my latest codebase for ZPSX on beta 4, and it runs much slower now. It's actually slower than the GP2X version at 250MHz now.
I'm using the SDL 1.2.9_arm5vtel IPK from older beta's. It supports bvdd.
I'm hoping the speed issue is on my end, as I imagine Sash has his hands full.
Tested on: Sharp Z C1000 under Beta 4 using SDL 1.2.9 under X Windows.
This version of SDL screws up running under command prompt after INIT. It seems it's not rotating the Linux framebuffer as needed by bvdd.
Maybe I need a different IPK?
Great work so far Sash!
-
I was thinking about comparisons as well.
on my 3100 beta 3 default 400mhz clock i get 17 frames per second in glx gears.
glx gears is hardly a definitive benchmark, but a comparison might tell us something.
what are the beta4 guys getting? what are other beta 1,2,3 users getting? a few posts on this would be interesting....and keep us busy while sashz works feverishly on fixes

I've noticed that the suspend/resume does it's old trick of pressing suspend in the "start" menu and then later when you press the on button, the screen flashes up for an instant and goes black again.
I too can see a faint shadowing above the panel, but only visible to me on the background, not on running apps.
I'm almost loathe to say this, but things feel slower to open and close and react, on the few apps I've tested. I hope that's just me.
I also can't get the get the system to halt or reboot from the command line. The former results in a "the system is powered off" message. The only way to then turn it off is to remove the power cable and battery. The latter just hangs.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=126641\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
I think I can tell you why everything feels so slow:
Also is it just me or are others finding that single taps on the scroll bars cause it run away as if it was being held down?
... that is the reason, if you tap on the screen it seems that the button remains stuck, so you have to press a second time so that the button releases and after that the action will be performed. This is quite important to fix because the Zaurus is not really good controllable right now.
Anyway I find the speed to be really good, but had no time for testing for example quake or video playback.
Edit: Overall speed is just great!
Edit#2: Suspend doesnt work anymore (I didnt change anything though)... if i press the ON Button the Zaurus supends and reactivates again so its always on. Anyway suspend is still possible through the menu.

Sashz, thank you for your hard work. It is time to donate again.

Keep in mind that without Richard Purdie work this PdaXrom release wont even happen. He did >90% work on 2.6 kernel for Zaurus.
-
Looks like in next days Sash will work on fixing things fixed in OE/OZ.
All clamshells has ALSA sound under 2.6.16 and mixer on Cxx00 has very big amount of options - in OZ we provide sane defaults so 'it just works'.
Overall experience with working 2.6 after using 2.4 will be that it is faster - Preempt is done very nice in 2.6.
Backlight control was changed in 2.6 totally - on c7x0 we have 63 levels (dont know how on Cxx00 - I do not have such). Also LED support is changed.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=126672\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
why don't you show everyone how great the OZ team is and provide Sash with your patches to fix those problems so he can spend time on doing other things? support the Zaurus community and work together and help each other out instead of fighting alll the time.
if we all cooperate, then the Zaurus will be more fun and productive for us all.
-

That comes across as a very smarmy comment. I hope it was actually you pointing out that issues have been fixed and that if Sash wants, you'll tell him how to fix them. It would be nice to think that was an offer of assistance that got lost in translation, not the sound of someone gloating.

There's nothing wrong with giving credit where credit's due. I'm just hoping that the real problem a lot of people have with Hrw's posts is that english isn't his first language and he doesn't realise how rude they come across in translation. Here's hoping.

During last time I work with Sash (discussions about u-boot, 2.6 kernel patches) outside of that forum. My post had to show that some things are resolved in OZ so they can be taken from it by Sash or experienced users and put into pdaX.
if we all cooperate, then the Zaurus will be more fun and productive for us all.[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=126678\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
I know that my English is not perfect (it is too technical - lack communication parts). But does anyone have to shout when I write something in pdaX part of forum?
Currently I work on OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1 release (with help few few OE/OZ devels) and all our work is available for anyone so you people can also look into it and help Sash create distro.
-
Great HRW - but yes sometimes you posts comes through as critiscm - but lets keep this thread flame war free and focus on the new release with its new stuff and problems.
-
Laze: s/new release/new releases/ - Sash makes new pdaX, I make new OZ
-
It's genuinely good to see the teams working together. I must admit I read Hrw's post as a bit condescending but then realised it was not meant to be: english is an imprecise language all to often. If collaboration between OZ/PDAXROM happens like it already is doing, new releases should be easier and quality better.
Thanks to both teams for their work, and thanks to Sashz (and all!) for pdaxrom: it suits my needs best.
-
The beta seems less of a progression of the last betas, but more of an evolution of pdaXrom as a whole, with a new kernel and some new innards etc.
Dare I ask, what does the future hold? It's looking very interesting.
-
Just in time I realized that this beta is not for me. Well, at least I have a decent backup now So my question is when a C7x0 will be available. It would mean that a lot more people will be able to pinpoint all those minor problems, and hopefully help to fix a few things here and there.
-
Hey,hey, hey!!!!!! I'm proud here, i' m proud there, let' s finish this stuff pleeeeeeZe! Is it possible that when someone do credits to another one, everytime the same???!!!!
One cannot discuss about things that come across the OZ and PdaXrom that is suddenly war, bah.....!!
I refresh alwas the same thing, all the people work on things done by other people.
Is the open environment based on that?
It' s a chain, Linus made Linux, other guys made drivers and distros, other made utilities.
We all know this story.
As Laze said, we behave a little like children sometimes.
I think we have to concentrate better on the develop.
BYEZ!!!
-
Hopefully more on-topic:
Has anybody figured out why the screen becomes so dim and can't be made more bright with "setfl 6"?
Also, Has the Shift and FN keys as left and right mouse button modifiers swapped?
FN-screen tap now seems to be the middle mouse button.
I had the same headphone issue on OZ, maybe a deamon neads to be written to fix this?
Is there any work in progress on new applets for CPU control, lan-wifi, USB etc, would it be helpful if I had a crack at these for the 2.6 kernel?
Sashz, This is fantastic, I //really// like suspend working so well!
-
Quick status update from Sash - he has fixed the exit bugs and a couple of other small things. He is working on look & feel and wifi utils - and is hoping that he also has time to fix the card storage kernel module today too.
So there you have it - he is working hard ...
-
"echo LEVEL >//sys/class/backlight/*-bl/brightness" for changing it - check on device.
-
Thx Laze for telling us this... it's a relieve
And thanks Sash for working that hard... I'm thinking of a donation...
Thanks for help Hrw, it works. No I saw that "6" is not the maximum and for me "20" is optimal... but now I know how to change it.
-
I mean there is any problem in use patchs, sources, tips, anythink from OZ team... is this a OpenSource communit or not? and OZ team can use same thinks from pdaX ...
Users must decide for OZ or pdaX ... .... yeap kernel 2.6 has many patchs from OZ team and many others from others PC distros and individual people .... and credits for pdaX with kernel 2.6 .... is for all people... but who join all in a alternative distro was sashz.... credits for pdaX 2.6 is for he... yes there are many works of many peopleo arroud the world... we know it....
yeap ... my English is so bad too....

Does anybody know where firmware for hostap wifi CF should be placed for this beta?
EDIT: It looks like lots of the required stuff for hostap to work has been left out of this. beta, like hostap_cs.conf in /etc/pcmcia.
Does anybody know of a package I could install to get this, or how I can fix it? I'll experiment in the mean time,

OE/OZ repository is open for anyone. pdaX repo is closed and only Sash has access to it. He release dump of it from time to time as pdaXrom-builder.
So I see small difference..

Hi,
I figured out something. It seems cpu scaling isn't actually scaling yet. I checked the current cpu scaling_freq and it's always 416 even when under 99% CPU load.
How do you enable cpu scaling in beta 4?

I can't use mplayer with bvdd... It can't fount /dev/bvdd
Can't use InfraRed (no ircomm)
P.S. He he! Caught another bug... With suspend or with X... If you leave Z for a lot of time (around 2h) - after wake up it shows black screen (lighter then if screen turned off). ctrl+alt+backspace - works...

Hi, I've been testing this out for a while now.
I can't load firmware into my wifi card because prism2_srec wasn't included in this rom.
I'm not sure if that was intended or where I should get it.
I've copied a version from OZ, but it wont run because the libc in beta4 is too old... i'll keep playing.
Also, USB gadget devices seem to not work in this beta.
I'll keep playing with this. Suspend works so well, I really don't want to leave 2.6!

I'm afraid I find the suspend as bad a it was before on my C1000, you press the button to suspend and then the press the button to resume which results in the split second flash of the screen followed by suspension again.

i did everything like the guide said but after flashing it gives my alot of JFFS errors and then it panic saying that there is no init passed to the kernel.

Really... on my C1000... it will look like it is going to suspend... but it has a blinking cursor for about 3-5sec... then the desktop appears...
I think I might be going back to the beta3 for the next few weeks... I would love to use this rom and help the dev process... but I bought the Z to use it... I will prolly jump back on the boat when I get back from TDY...

It sounds like something has not worked correctly, I've reflashed about 4 times already, it's worked each time.
Try downloading the files again (they may be corrupt), and try reflashing from the start again.
If this fails, i'm really not sure what is broken. Maybe the SD card or the Z's NAND? Which Z model?

May I ask you how to use git to download a copy of the source you used?

The tutorial on http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git...s/tutorial.html (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/tutorial.html) is not very helpful.
UPDATE: found cogito, currently compiling it to try to retrieve the sources...
UPDATE2 : failed! so I'd still be interested in the cmd line to fetch that version

IIRC, you can change this behaviour with "alsamixer": Disable the mono speaker or a similar option to mute the speaker but not the headphone socket. Changing this was done automatically by the last kernel.
I'll confirm this later.

I ran into the same problem. I've used the same compact flash card even since I had my zaurus to do flashing. I have never had any problems flashing roms with it, but for beta4, my compact flash card only worked for flashing the u-boot. When I tried to flash the kernel with it the emergency boot would not recognize it, even when trying to mount it manually. What I had to do was use my multimedia card to flash the kernel since the emergency boot was able to detect that automatically. This is weird since I have never been able to do any successful flashing with my multimedia card before.

First,there is rootfs.img kernel.img and autoboot.sh in my CF card. After above screen show, I insert my SD card,and copy the file from CF to SD under command line, then eject CF and reinstall beta4 from SD. It is successful
And I think the default boot location of autoboot.sh is SD, because I see "LOC=$1"

another question, sorry ... mathcbos is still the default desktop?
-
just read the title (for extreme testers only)... there are a lot of changes in beta4 and so there is still a lot to fix. Until now its far from stable... or at least the Zaurus is working rock-stable but beta4 is still somehow useless because a lot of things do not work as they should or do not work at all.
but there are coming more and more patches and so beta4 gets better and better. And one thing to say already: kernel 2.6 boosts the speed of the Zaurus which is quite nice.
I go with beta4 now but if you have important work to do with your zaurus you should stick with older versions.
For me the Zaurus is working as I need it but the only thing which really needs to be fixed as soon as possible is the sound... using the Z as mp3 player with beta4 is not recommended because the sound is poor and not loud enough and the speaker works at the same time as the headphones do. In xmms I managed once to get just the headphones (in ALSA plugin I set "mono" I think) but then it no longer worked anymore.
btw. I tested the CE-RH2 (or better: my Creative Remote which is modded and now works as a CE-RH2) but it doesn't work with beta4.
I tried "xev" but it recognizes only if I lock and unlock the remote... the other buttons dont get recognized.
-
Can apps be compiled from source in beta4 yet?
ie. is there a zgcc for beta4?
if not, why not?
-
yes, i see the "extreme tester", but the older version are tag "beta" so it's quite difficult to know which version is the most stable ... and i'm very impatient to have this new version !!!
this version is faster than OZ ???
-
To be honest I cannot compare it to OZ and it is not so easy I think... but what I can say is that it is faster than older versions.
I do not exactly know which beta is the most stable but as beta1 was out it was called the first stable pdaxrom release if I remeber correctly.
Better ask someone of the pdaXrom team for this...

new bootloader, Kernel 2.6, fbpanel

please read "step-by-step" instruction before flashing.

Are we still on the "extreme tester" plan? Beta 4 is, or will be a gigantic improvement, I think, --but I have beta3 running just the way I want atm. Is a flash tomorrow likely to be a crash dummy experience or a pretty well worked out rom (for a beta)? or somewher in between?

Good work Sash! UBoot should rock. I'm going to give that a try on my C3000. Do you have an idea what would be necessary to make it work on other models (tosa for one)?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=126402\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
Currently i added Cxx00 and C7x0/860. Probably for tosa need add tosa NAND flash driver. That easy with one from kernel sources. I'll look later.

Hello
Very interesting work on uboot.
Are the sources for your uboot with the addons availalbe somewhere?
Is your release (md5 : 6814ebadc2f71df24840a81334b07576) including C7x0 support?
Guylhem
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=126883\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
here current patch. C7x0 added but not tested fully. Add in include/config/corgi.h next lines for support Sharp NAND logical partition:
#define NAND_LOGICAL Â 1
#define NAND_LOGICAL_SIZE 0x700000
For debug you need serial cable.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=126893\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
Thanks Sashz for the patch file. I would like to test this on my C760, but I'm not sure how to install. Could you (or someone else who may know how) please post step by step instructions for installing beta4 onto C7x0, including what steps are needed to apply the patch ? Sorry if I'm missing something that may be obvious to others...
Many thanks in advance...

I compiled SWI prolog on Beta4 just fine using ZGCC from beta2. (zgcc-3.4.5.img)
So native compilation is still no problem.

Excellent, thanks for the confirmation. I'll go install it. I can live with a buggy environment as long as i can still try and install the apps i want.
-
did anyone work on the sound problem and maybe for the compatibility of the ce-rh2?
-
Sound should be easy to fix by using proper alsa config.
IIRC someone work on getting CE-RH1 or CE-RH2 working but only in free time so who knows when it will be done..
-
thank you Hrw.
You now how to configure alsa properly?
-
I use OZ not pdaX. In OZ we supply proper ALSA configs which are loaded on start of device.
-
I remember using alsa config to fix my audio problems with the compaq armada 1750. It only fixed it halfway to were i couldnt hear the audio from the desktop but i can hear the audio from the music.
in terminal i typed alsaconfig and it would launch but of course you need the libraries installed if you want to play with it and after that, it's all a matter of guessing what works. I'm sure the oz dudes can list the configuration they used to make the audio work.

Awesome, I really need those 200 extra MHz!

I flash OpenZaurus 3.5.4.1-rc, start and sound is working. I can use alsamixer to configure but does not have to. I'm 100% sure that pdaX can be configured to have it too.
Basically it need to run alsamixer once, configure it, use 'alsactl store' and then add 'alsactl restore' in initscripts.

Socket low power Wifi card not working. Dmesg shows firmware not loading. I've tried placing the firmware in various locations:
/etc/pcmcia/firmware
/lib/firmware
/etc/hotplug/firmware
But no joy
This post makes me wonder if scripts for loading FW are missing https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19387 (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19387)
Anyone have any suggestions?

**Edit***
Nevermind, just read frimware.agent in /etc/hotplug. I put firmware in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware and bingo, wifi card is working.
In case anyone else needs the firmware for a Socket card, here it is. You need both files in the zip

One other issue I've run into: on boot it wants to mount /dev/hda1 to /mnt/cf. Unfortunately, my internal drive seems to be /dev/hda1-4 (four partitions). I've fixed fstab so it mounts the internal drives ok & /mnt/cf, but sometimes when I pull the CF card, it won't remount on insert, as it says /dev/hdc1 doesn't exist.
The cards applet on fbpanel eject the internal drive and only way to get them back is to reboot.

afaik they are trying to get the new system coherent and polished before the move it to all z platforms. beta1 is only a few months old still (and what I have on my 6000). I wouldn't sweat it.

Hi,
I think I am going for pdaXrom with this SL-C1000.
I tried step
11) Green LED must light on for ~20 sec.
this seemed to work. It might have been less than 20s, however.
But I could not manage to boot the emergeny system. The screen would never turn on.
Bootup emergency system
1) Insert SD or CF card with pdaXrom
2) Press and hold ON button and plug power cable
3) Wait for 10 sec and leave ON button
I had to do a NAND restore to see the thing alive again.
Obviously I am missing some detail. Maybe some kind soul could point me the way.

Problem solved:
After I had gunzip'ped pdaXrom-1.1.0beta4-Kathrin-u-boot-akita-current.zip I found emergenc.img differed from the file Winzip had extracted.
BTW the green and orange leds both turned on when flashing via the "C" and "D" keys. The leds were lit not for 20s but only for about 10s.
The Z did not accept a 64 MB and 128 MB CF card, only a 1GB SD card.
Resetting: Taking the battery out and unplugging the power supply is one way. One can just push the reset button beside the battery compartment. It was meant for that.
I really appreciate to have a 2.6.16 kernel on this tiny machine. Still the emergency system only. But let's call it a day.
Many thanks to EVERYONE who contributes. I did spend a couple of bucks yesterday donating.

After installing beta4, I try NAND backup to a CF (FAT16) and succeed. But when I try to restore the same image, NAND restore failed with message 'format error'. Any idea?
I have no problem restoring previous backup like beta1 one.
EDIT: tried SD and failed also.

Does beta4 support larger than 1 gig sd cards? I'd like to try an install to a large sd, If it does

Well, the fourth beta is great but has a few anoying bugs:
1. disabling of speaker sound after inserting headphones must be done manualy. It would be great to have it automated as in Xrom <beta4, cacko...
2. sound from speaker is weak and distorted! It's not hardware malfunction as i've reflashed to cacko and the speaker sound there is ok.
3. Usbfunction doesn't work so we can't use Z's as usb mass storage devices. The problem in the script is that it checks an nonexistant file for device model info. It's easy to fix that. But after that it accesses /etc/usbcontrol which doesn't exist in beta4.
4. The short shadowy bar over fbpanel is extremly irritating!
Regardless of this, thanks to Sash and everyone else who contributed to making an extremely powerful 2.6 kerneled zaurus system!

Ok..everything installed just fine.
1st quesion--which kernel is current? The one in the curent zip , or the updated one listed with voLtage control?
2nd queston Hostap-driver install fails with the error "/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia no such file or directory" What is the fix for this? I use an ambicom wireless card, and I'''m pretty dependant on hostap.
Comment: Big sd cards, like my 4 gig from zipzoomfly seem to work perfectly on Beta4 I'd have tried it sooner if omeone had said so.
-
er... I'm trying a nand restore from the trisoft site. Everything seems to be ok... it says ok --meaning it's done. when I reboot I get nothing. just a black screen and a charging light.
ideas??
EDIT: Once again, some fiddling and a few power cycles and it is working fine.

1- For now ...
2- go to shell and run alsamixer ... look for "right XXXX" and "left XXXX" controls .... put all in max.... speaker is nice now...
3- hum.... time for try it here!
4- Yea.... but in my Z... the bad is a huge dark dot in center of screen ... dont have it in beta 3
Hey, remember beta4 ... is a alfa4 .... new "kernel" === "many bugs"

I tried with my new C1000 with the boot loader and every reboots can ONLY go to D+M mode without pressing any D+M combination.... (therefore any holding ON button is in vain...)
is there any idea to that?
-
I suspect if the bootloader was not installed properly. If it is installed properly then the Z should boot into the shell and not DM mode. Maybe try to flash with another card would work.

I think you might have turned on the flag in your Diag Mode Menu.... I dont remember which menu it is under but there is a ON/OFF switch in there that you can flag it is auto boot in DM mode until that flag is turned off...

Anybody know, how to fix problem with screen in beta4 ?
My screen working not so good then i tryed press on it.
Thx in advanced.

Ok, I've been playing around with the beta. It think the obvious stuff has been reported.
However, when I went to fix the hideous sound issue with xmms, by running alsaconfig, I got:
Error opening terminal: rxvt.
I ran xterm -e alsacong .. but I got:
xterm: unable to open font "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-60-iso10646", trying "fixed"....
That font is horrific, and alsaconf is not displayed correctly. It was very annoying to try to read through the garbage to get sound working well. I don't know if sound _is_ working properly, as there seem to be lots of options which I'm not familiar with. =)
I realise that the new kernel fixes the sound issue.. but perhaps this xterm issue remains?
-
Just installed beta4 on my C31K.
Everything's good so far. I have a question though:
When I went into the diagnostic menu (M+D) and selected "NAND Flash Erase" I got an error after the flash was erased. It said there were 8 blocks and 1 was bad... That can't be good, right? I had OZ 3.5.4.1 before...
-
Ok, I've been playing around with the beta. It think the obvious stuff has been reported.
However, when I went to fix the hideous sound issue with xmms, by running alsaconfig, I got:
Error opening terminal: rxvt.
rxvt under Beta4 also got this error whenever running other programs from within (or in a forked shell), such as nano and less. Earlier on I recompiled mrxvt and got this again, but when i changed the terminal name in .mrxvtrc from 'rxvt' (default in compilation) to others like 'xterm', mrxvt is fully functional again.
-
After a few days toying around with beta4 I have to say that calling it 'experimental' is an understatement, granted, having a 2. kernel is great, but almost nothing works the way it should,from wireless to cf/sd hotswapping - I even got segfaults while mounting & unmounting filesystems. Totally unusable.
I'm torn between beta3 and OZ 3.5.4.1 now...

Beta3 has been the best for me, so far. Almost 0 problems.

I wonder whether there is anything new in recent CXX0 beta4. Perhaps it is simply the Cxx00 beta4 finally working for Cxx0? I asked in the Cxx0 beta4 thread and got no answer. Is there a changelog somewhere? I'd be interested if anyone has any information.

Out of interest what WM do you use? The incorrect window sizes in matchbox is really annoying and icewm looks ugly and doesn't seem to be any more or less responsive than matchbox. I had a quick play with WindowMaker after reading some posts about it and that looks quite nice, very familar (not that I know linux gui's that much).
Had a quick play with beta 4 but after spending the last couple of weeks playing musical chairs with ROMs I'd like to settle on one and start using my Z for what I intended!

In beta3 I use XFCE4 complete with plugins etc. It's great to use and fast too!
-
So far I've tried xfce, windowmaker, icewm, KDE. They all remedy the window sizing problem in matchbox. And they are all great window (and desktop) managers to play with!
In my experience, icewm feels very fast and responsive. I also don't like the default theme so I switch to one of the alternative themes. Plus Rox desktop (a a nice theme) I have even more goodies and eye candies. And more fun of course!

I've been working on getting the beta4 to work on my c3k for the past couple days now, and I still can't get the emergency system to boot (Bootup emergency system from http://mail.pdaxrom.org/node/78) (http://mail.pdaxrom.org/node/78)) I'm sure that I've got the correct u-boot installing, and the orange and green lights come on for about ~14 seconds, so that seems ok, but then when I put the pdaXrom files on my CF card, put that in my Z, and do the 'ON" + POWER, I get nothing... nada.
I've seen most people having problems like this with their c1k, but few to none with a c3k. Am I missing something? is it my Z? Any ideas?
Thanks!

I've recently gone back to the Sharp ROM (I say gone back but I've never used it as I had the Jap version and flashed it straightaway). I've noticed a couple of key things.
* It's really fast - I mean compared to pdaX and OZ with the main GUI's (I tried most) it really was noticeable to me after using the others.
* It works - Sound, USB drive, suspend/resume/installed apps etc.
* Looks nice
Thanks to Cresho for his fully loaded backup this made it even easier.
The only real disadvantage is the lack of certain application support (e.g. Firefox) but it's not a real problem.
For the person that just wants it to work and doesn't want to spend time playing around with different distros and apps to find the right combination (as fun as it is) I can recommend the Sharp ROM (I guess people who don't want to mess around will have this on already but still).
Things are definately shaping up with the other ROMs though so I'll be keeping a close eye on them.
Sorry just realised it maybe slightly off topic but thought I'd mention it.

Well, it's quite complicated task to get Beta4 running on C3K. ThC is working on it now, but, IMHO, the best (and long-lasting! ) solution is to upgrade NAND to 128 Mb, making your С3000 a snow-white C3100. For now, we aren't going to deploy "C3000 NAND upgrade factory", but who knows...

on my C1000 i have seen this bug:
1. if i put and release my various sd without click on the applet card for unmount.... the Z freeze...
2. the subpanel of the fbpanel was too long, le icons go out of the screen...
3. When i close X, in my console the key "a" dosn't work right, i press it but don't write.

4. Cpu config if i try to overclock the Z freeze and i must do soft-reset.

I installed this (latest) version Beta4 on my C860 and after going through some install-problems I got it running.
After installation of the new U-Boot I thought my Z was bricked or at least I couldn't find a way to get it started. CD Keys just gave blinking led and MD didn't work anymore (they still don't). The easy solution to just remove the battery, unplug power, hold OK and insert the battery I gladly found somwhere.
Now, that I have it running, I detected some problems. The most annoying one is the issue with the keys. Ctrl and Alt keys both don't work, mouse buttons do not work, backlight increase and decrease do not work. Looks like a major problem with all special keys. Any solution so far?
Apart from that it looks great and it seems to me that it is faster. My 1GB SD card with Ext2 fs was not recognised in the first place, I had to unplug and plug it several times but now it works.
The package-manager starts up with no options in "Install on", the first install fills the list but this first install fails and has to be redone.
After exit from X the a-key doesn't work anymore, so you can't type "startx" after that. You can get around this by just typing "!!" which repeats the previous startx.
The sound doesn't work on my C860. XMMS runs fine without sound the mixer starts but unable to increase volume, same with the volume applet in the taskbar.
