C1000/3x00 General discussions / Impressions Of Open (star) Office

« on: May 27, 2005, 08:01:04 am »

I've just tried debian package (openoffice.org-bin_1.1.4-1_arm.deb) from
http://people.debian.org/~rene/openoffice.org/test/arm/
The rest of packages can be found in common debian distribution. Openoffice seems to run better than I expected.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / New Tetsu Kernel - V17i For 3000 & V18 For 1000

SL-C3000 special kernel (v17i): http://tetsu.homelinux.org/zaurus/kernel/v...-v17i-C3000.bin

WMMX patch breaks gdb. It changes pt_regs structure used by ptrace syscall.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Lineo's 2.4.20 Kernel Mess

« on: April 25, 2005, 12:27:35 pm »

Is 2.6 already able to boot on C3K?

No. There's a lot of common Zaurus code in mainline, however machine support belongs to the few parts which has to be done specifically for every board. To my knowledge, no one started with supporting CXK* yet.

* I'm pretty confident that we are able to support both the Akita and the Spitz with the same kernel - like we do with the C7x0 kernel which supports all three corgi, shepherd, husky, and *cough* boxer.

I think I'll be able to port some drivers, but I'm not ready to start with non-booting kernel. Do you have kdb or kgdb working on C7x0 models?

My guess is 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-<sl6000> + mainline diff 2.4.18->2.4.20.

It's ugly. Please don't waste too much time with it but instead help us to recruit someone porting the 2.6.11 C7x0 Zaurus support to the CXK models.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Rotating Screen With Debian On Zaurus Slc3000

« on: April 15, 2005, 03:41:33 pm »

Hi group, good day!
Anybody knows if you install Debian, Is it possible change the screen orientation automatically when you rotate the screen?? how Detect it?

I mean change from 640x480 to 480x640 when you rotate the screen.
Could it be possible??

Best Regards,

It's not easy with Fbvnc. Fbvnc doesn't provide any external interface to change the screen orientation.

Rotate the screen? What do you mean? Physically rotating and folding the screen? It generates keyboard events, then you can use /proc/something to get the actual state.

General Discussion / N00b Q: X86 Compatibility

« on: January 25, 2005, 10:22:15 am »

The thing to remember is that to run an x86 Linux app, you'll need an entire x86 Linux environment (kernel, glibc, etc.).
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=63866\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

qemu project targets both virtual PC and user-mode emulators. You don't need the kernel for user-mode. User-mode emulation is faster.

General Discussion / N00b Q: X86 Compatibility

« on: January 25, 2005, 09:55:06 am »

Errr... No.  I meant Linux apps.  "x86" ≠ "Winblows."  I just need to run some text-mode only binaries that were compiled for Red Hat on x86.  Is this possible?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=63861\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yes. qemu is good for linux apps. I'd not been able to find a binary for ARM, so I've compiled it myself. Unfortunately it is dependent on some version of gcc. I had to fix qemu code and compiler flags. If you like, I can send the binary and/or patches.

5x00 Hardware / Maximum Ir Speed?

« on: December 24, 2004, 10:42:43 am »

It's SIR. Speed is 115200 bits/sec. SA1110 processor can do 4Mbits, but the tranceiver in zaurus can't.

General Discussion / Emulating I386

« on: December 10, 2004, 06:10:00 pm »

I was able to run wine on top of qemu. It was capable of running some simple applications (calc, notepad, etc.). They ran quite slow on SL5500. Actually, I've no idea if there's any use for that.

General Discussion / Accessing hard drive image file on Z

« on: September 01, 2004, 05:13:09 am »

I don't know the exact format of image. I guess, you may want to try -o (offset) option of losetup.

General Discussion / GPS?

« on: July 12, 2004, 05:17:20 am »

I use Hicom HI303-MMF card.
Many CF GPS receivers are "serial cards". They appear just like a common serial port of your PDA.
So GPS cards work in general.
What kind of maps are you going to use? What ROM do you have on your zaurus?

General Discussion / Zaurus aka IrDA sniffer

« on: May 31, 2004, 08:47:39 am »

Get some old irda-tools package from debian/arm. I hope it will be compatible with your libc. Though, it\'s not hard to compile.

You\'ll need to install some X11 environment. You may want to try pocketworkstation.org. There you can use common debian packages.
