Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.4.1-alpha2 And Bluetooth Socket Rev G

« on: March 20, 2006, 10:40:18 am »

This is a known problem in 2.6 kernel tree - patch could not get to the mainline
for several months now. But this can be fixed by aplying the following patch:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/ker...509.2/0072.html
and rebuilding the kernel. I hope someone would include it in OE and creates
a fixed build.

Hi,

still unable to get Socket CF 2.5 Rev. G properly working with 2.6 kernels on my 860.
It's a serial_cs bluetooth card.
Any hints?

TIA

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / trying to get 3.3.6-pre1 on 860

« on: February 20, 2004, 03:01:50 pm »

Just a few suggestions. I myself was stuck in exactly the same
situation while flashing C760 with 3.3.6-pre1 - OZ logo and
forever flashing cursor.   In my case the situation resolved easily -
my initrd.bin got corrupted and because there are no md5sums
on the website it was hard to detect. Re-downloading and
checking that the size is right helped.  

If that doesn\'t help then there was some idea that badblocks in nand
might prevent OZ from flashing properly. Does your C860 have
any badblocks? In my personal opinion it is no problem for flashing
as my 760 has a badblock but still I managed to flash it many times.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ 3.3.6-pre1 + 860 = big fat failure !!

« on: February 10, 2004, 09:46:06 am »

All right, on my own I figured out _my_ problem: corrupted
(or, rather, interrupted) download of initrd.bin.
It would have been much better if md5sums file was also present... And my guess is that at least some of the problems
that people are reporting stem from this \"issue\".

Btw, it made no difference of what version of eraseall to use -
looking at the source it does not do anything special with bad
blocks - just if some error occurs on erasing some 16k block
it reports an error and proceeds with erasing the next 16k block.

Also, attempting to start opie-sh howto results in error - inability to find the howto itself. Is it supposed to be this way (i.e. if this is a known issue) ?

Thanks,

Alex Y.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / OZ 3.3.6-pre1 + 860 = big fat failure !!

« on: February 09, 2004, 11:59:11 am »

OK, I tried to play yesterday with eraseall...
Background: C760, some badblocks in NAND. Flashing with
stock zimage, initrd,a nd updater.sh results in OZ booting, logo
appearing and cursor flashing on the left (right under the logo).
That\'s it

So, I compiled eraseall from the CVS of mtd using 2.95.3 toolchain
and statically linking it (just in case). Changed updater.sh to call
./eraseall instead of /sbin/eraseall and placed the newly compiled
\"eraseall\" binary along with updated and re-encoded updater.sh
to CF. After flashing - exactly the same result...

Btw, flashing went normally with all the proper messages and with no errors.

Mickey, any other word of advice on how to proceed here?
Btw, there was no problems with 3.3.5.

I am just wondering if anyone could manage to install 3.3.6-pre1
on C760?

Thanks,

Alex Y.

Mickey, I think this is quite an important thing and could be the reason for many recent  
install failures reported here. Could you please elaborate on how exactly to workaround
this issue, i.e on what stage to run eraseall and how it can be fixed in the next release?
I would document it myself but unfortunately, I do not have full understanding
of this NAND stuff.

Thanks a lot,

Alex Y.
