Sharp ROMs / So What Exactly Is Cacko?

« on: July 24, 2007, 09:24:35 pm »

you got an akita which means limited space (ie, only 128MB of NAND) and you expect to have man and all the docs installed on it? the zaurus is an embedded system and does not have all the tools that are preinstalled on desktop linux systems preinstalled, although most of these tools can be installed if you insist on having them. installing ipk files work in cacko both from the GUI as well as command line which is not the case in opie (or even gpe). you just need to configure a feed or install packages manually one by one. all the tools you want are available, it is just a matter of finding them and whether you have sufficient free space to install them all...
as mentioned before, pdaXrom has working screen rotation and well as a better spreadsheet app as well. hancomsheet is not supported on opie due to it using newer libraries but it may work if you add older compat libs...

you really should do more research...

No need to get defensive, bro, I'm not saying it doesn't do anything for anyone, just that it doesn't do what I need.  Sure, I've got 128MB, but it sure looks like it's only using 64 megs for the root partition, and that's 40% free - that could probably fit a few man pages.  I've also got a 1GB SD card, 77% free, and a 4GB microdrive with nothing on it... too bad ipkg always fails when installing packages, whether to the internal flash or to external cards, via the CLI or the GUI tool!  Too bad there isn't some kind of log file for ipkg, so I have some idea *why* it fails to install.

You should really not jump to conclusions.

Sharp ROMs / So What Exactly Is Cacko?

I didn't find cacko too slow, even Opera was quite useable.

the only thing cacko lacks is a WPA wizard, which isn't really a major headache, just edit the wlan-ng.opts file to add WPA=y and edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file.

I bought an Akita a few months back and have been trying to find the perfect ROM.  I finally got around to Cacko, and I find it's missing quite a few things.  Perhaps it's my machine only, but it's missing a working networking wizard, man, locate, and any capability to install ipkg files.  It does have HancomSheet and a working screen rotate capability, which pdaXrom is lacking, but I'm definitely going to go look at Opie again, because if I can't install programs I'm not going to run this ROM.

Software / Is There A Hex Editor For The Zaurus?

« on: May 12, 2007, 03:08:15 pm »

Depending on how extensive your hex editing needs to be, you might be able to get by with just vim and xxd (see section 23.4 specifically)

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Sdio And The Cxx00

« on: May 08, 2007, 02:28:17 pm »

I've been trying to post this link for the past four days, but never got validation until today:

SourceForge has a page for a Linux SDIO project that's descended from MontaVista's SDIO stack; it's a patch file for Linux 2.6.18 kernels, but could probably be adapted to whatever pdaXrom is using currently.  Note that while the PXA270 is specifically supported, only Atheros SDIO wi-fi cards are supported at the moment.

I'll have a couple more links this evening.
