Cxx0 Hardware / Request For Info: Ce-rh1

« on: April 25, 2007, 06:50:22 pm »

I've gotten a kernel module written and working for the CE-RH2 in-line audio remote for the Cxx00 machines for the 2.6 line of kernels. I'd like the same driver to work for the CE-RH1 remote but don't have a Cxx0 or the CE-RH1 to test with. If someone with one of these devices could oblige me I'd like to get the module tested and get and values updated so that the buttons work correctly.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhel...1352/focus=2729 for my original announcement and the URL to the patch. This patch is also integrated into OpenEmbedded so you can compile yourself to test as well.

If you're interested in helping me (I can provide images if you do not wish to build them yourself) then please e-mail me at .

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Development

i think pdaxrom-builder is much easier to hack than OE..

It dumps much more debug code during compilation..
It can create multiple build versions...

the new u-boot can speed up root or ketnel flashing...

maybe the builder need a bit of clean up :)

This may be true for quick "get it running" packages, but for a distribution having a system in place to automatically deal with packaging, dependencies, toolchain building, etc, is nice to have.

OE doesn't dump all output to console, this is true, but you normally don't need all that. OE *does* store the output for all commands run in handy log files which you can easily peruse after the fact (or even tail -f while the build is running, I've done this many times).

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Usb Connection Howto

The Cxx00 doesn't talk to Windows correctly yet. Richard Purdie "has some hints" which should make it work but he hasn't had time to implement them yet. :-/

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Which Gpe Applications Are Missing

« on: March 02, 2006, 04:07:52 pm »

You could alsp use mpd and gmpc or glurp to play music. I myself use mpd and ncmpc. I also have some shell scripts which I use with mpc to control mpd and also another script that I run when the hinge button is pressed in order to make the bl and all work (in kernel 2.4 with keylaunch, that is).

so it will fit - I flashed in on my c760 without problems

128M flash devices has / which is 53M in size

OK.  Some settings from GPE test-5 remained. I did remove and recreate /home and /home/root. Typical fault for OZ newbies...

Anyway after a while the login prompt kicks me off and I have to re-log as root...?Strange...

BTW I'm starting enlightenment with "Xfbdev". Is it the proper way?

TIA

No it isn't. /etc/init.d/entrance (or /etc/init.d/login-manager) should launch a login manager.

Indeed, entrance should start automatically. And logging in as root is normal. e is an experimental image and doesn't have the "create a new user" stuff that GPE has. If entrance isn't starting up that's a bug. Please let us know if you see any errors on your screen in a bug report. And make sure to mention your machine and all.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / New Keymap For C1k

« on: July 20, 2005, 10:47:30 pm »

I used Incr_Console and Decr_Console and it works fine in the console but it's not working in both Opie and GPE. I'm using Fn-9 and Fn-0. Could it perhaps be the Fn keys?

Aha, I think here are the keycodes I was looking for. However, I'm not sure which is which from this. If someone could let me know which keycode belons to which button that would be great. See my recent topic in the OZ/GPE forum.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / X Keys For Ce-rh1 Audio Remote

« on: July 20, 2005, 03:40:31 pm »

I've successfully gotten lineakd to compile and work on my C3K and I'd like it to work for the other clamshells as well. lineakd is basically a daemon which runs in X and listens for special keypresses. When a key is pressed it will run any command you want. I've gotten it to work very well on my C3K with my CE-RH2 audio remote controlling mpd via mpc. mpd is the music player daemon and mpc is a controller for it. (I've also added other mpd clients to OE but that's beside the point.)

I'm looking for a C7/8x0 owner with a CE-RH1 audio remote to get me the X keycodes for their remote. To do this easily you need another linux machine with X installed (remember that you can always use Knoppix on, say, a Windows computer to do this). Bring up your Zaurus and get into GPE. Run "xhost" on the command line with the IP of the other Linux computer with X (ex: xhost 192.168.0.45). Go to the other linux computer and open a terminal. Set DISPLAY to go to your zaurus (ex: export DISPLAY=192.168.0.42:0.0). Now start "xev". You should see a window pop up on your zaurus. Now press each of the keys on the remote and look for the "keycode XXX" entry in the output. Note the keycode and which key it is. Post the info back here or PM it to me and I'll add support for the CE-RH1 to lineakd. I'll even help you set it up if you like.

It does indeed work for the C3K as well. I also altered it a bit to map some keys for the RE-CH2 remote so that it could cotrol xmms-embedded. That was ok, but it only works when xmms is in focus. I'm working on getting lineakd working now so that I can control mpd with the remote. :-)

C1000/3x00 Hardware / C3000 Serial Port One Way?

« on: June 27, 2005, 04:55:40 pm »

And for those of us who are not soldering experts? Is there any way to fix this (damn) SerialIO cable or do I need to try to return it and get a Sharp cable?

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Serial Port On Sl-c3000

« on: June 27, 2005, 04:53:34 pm »

I have a SerialIO cable that I used with my old 5500 (Zaurus to 9-pin connector).  Anyone know if it will work with a C1000?  I'm getting a unit from Japan, but if it doesn't work that will put a damper on any serial connection to Cisco equipment.  I'd rather not spend more buying new cables.

See my thread on this. I bought the SerialIO cable for my C3000 and am only getting data one-way.

I suggest *not* buying the SerialIO cable as it seems not to allow receipt of data with the C1/3000. If you get the Sharp cable please reply to this topic so that I know if it works correctly.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / C3000 Serial Port One Way?

« on: June 24, 2005, 09:30:52 pm »

So the voltage problem with this particular cable causes data from the other end not be received? I had read in other posts that people have gotten serial connections to work. Was that with the Sharp serial cable? I wish I'd know about this before I blew $35 on this cable. So it's worthless unless I'm doing kernel debugging....

I have used the C3000 with the serial cable to configure Cisco routers.
It seems to be close enough to RS-232 for them.

I'd love to hear how you did this. I've been trying all day and can only get data from the Z to the PC. See my post.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / C3000 Serial Port One Way?

« on: June 24, 2005, 05:23:20 pm »

I'm attemting to use the serial port (Sharp port with a SerialIO serial cable) as a serial terminal. To test I started up minicom on both my z and PC and set the baud rates and such the same. When I type on the PC nothing happens. When I type on the Z I see what I typed displayed on the PC. I've tried playing with the settings on both ends and I can't get data from the PC to show up on the Z.

I can see three possibilities.
1) The serial port is one way. (I hope this isn't it....)
2) I'm setting something up wrong. (Entirely possible)
3) The serial port is set up as one way by the kernel.

I tend to think it's option 3 as when I rebooted my Z while the serial cable was connected I got kernel/boot output (but only until the sceen came up). One of the lines output is:

Code: [Select]

COMMANDLINE= console=ttyS0 root=/dev/mtdblock2 mtdparts=sharpsl-nand:7168k@0k(smf),5120k@7168k(root),-(home) jffs2_orphaned_inodes=delete EQUIPMENT=4 LOGOLANG=1 DEFYEAR=2005 LOGO=1 LAUNCH=q
Anyone have any ideas?
