Title: Problems With 1.1 Beta 4 And Usb Utility
Post by: mrbisme33 on June 26, 2006, 01:10:22 am

First off, I'm brand new to all of this.  I love my zaurus and I just came off of cacko.  I've got a C1000 and beta 4 running.  Has anyone else had problems with the usb utility?  I can't get it to open, and when I usb connect to my main computer, there's no recognition that my zaurus is a mass storage device.  Is there a command line interface for chaning how zaurus plays with usb hosts?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Okay, I've got a little more information on this.  Error messages include:

  File "/usr/bin/usbfunction.py:, line 6, in ?
     class usbconfig:
  File "/usr/bin/usbfunction.py:, line 11, in usbconfig
     f = open("/proc/deviceinfo/product","r")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/deviceinfo/product'

I checked and there is no deviceinfo in /proc.  I hope this helps.

Thanks again!

When I get a hold of my Zaurus... I will look at the python code to see what it is actually looking for...

It might need to be remapped to /proc/cpuinfo... I will check when I get home...

You were right.  After remapping to /proc/cpuinfo, it works like a charm.  For the C1000, modify /usr/bin/usbfunction.py

Change
f = open("/proc/deviceinfo/product","r")
to
f = open("/proc/cpuinfo","r")

Thanks for your help InSearchOf

Actually, upon further investigation, this solution doesn't really work.  It allows the utility to open, but at least on mine, it does not work as a storage device.  By the looks of the code, it appears to be written for the 3100.  If anyone figures this out, let me know.

Thanks,
John

"modprobe devinfo" or "modprobe deviceinfo" (do not remember now) will give that /proc/deviceinfo/ stuff

FATAL: Module deviceinfo not found.

Same on both counts.  Anyone figure this out yet?  Thanks for helping out

oops.. I forgot that beta4 is 2.6 based - so no deviceinfo module (it was 2.4 only). Looks like that python app need to be rewritten.
