6000 - Tosa / Bluetooth Usb Dongle Questions

« on: November 27, 2007, 05:41:11 am »

Because I can't borrow any powered USB hub from my friends, so I have not test it yet.  However, my friend give me another USB dongle (CSR chipest), so I retry this BT dongle with the same IPKs.

This time, my desktop, laptop, and HP PDA could "see" my Zaurus, but  my Z still could not see other BT devices by typing hcitool scan and sdptool browse.

Does anyone has further suggestion to check whether or not it is possible to use USB BT dongle (CSR chipest) on the 6000L?  Thanks in advance.

6000 - Tosa / Bluetooth Usb Dongle Questions

« on: November 18, 2007, 11:03:39 pm »

is the dongle getting enough power? (I can only think of checking by using a powered hub)

Thank you adf!  I never thought about this, you are really so smart!

it does seem as if the dongle is being properly recognised by the zaurus, and as the followup poster said, perhaps there's not enough power to drive it properly. do you know if the dongle is class1 or 2, i.e. 100m or 10m range - the former will take a lot more current.

Thank you speculatrix!  This dongle is Class 2 (up to 60m range), so it is very possible that there is not enough power as you and adf mentioned.

can you "see" the Zaurus if you scan from another device?

No, my computers (desktop and laptop) and cellphone can’t see the Zaurus.

try turning off security and authentication in the /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf and then trying the hcitool scan, and sdptool browse.

According to your suggestion, I revised the script in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf to:
…
Security disable;
…
# Authentication and Encryption
#auth disable;
encrypt disable;
)

Then I tried the hcitool scan, but my Zaurus still can’t find any device.  Therefore I tried sdptool browse, it got:
#sdptool browse
Inquiring …
Inquiry failed

At this monent, my computers (desktop and laptop) and cellphone still can’t see the Zaurus.  

I have further question, though the BT dongle was recognized by my Zaurus, but none of my other BT devices could see the Zaurus, why??  Because lacking of power for the dongle??  

Because I don’t have a powered hub, I will try to borrow one for testing in the next few days.

Thank you again, adf and speculatrix!!

6000 - Tosa / Bluetooth Usb Dongle Questions

« on: November 18, 2007, 05:40:54 am »

I can't make my Bluetooth USB Dongle available on my 6000L (Stock ROM).    My BT USB dongle is NOT listed on the support list, it was manufactured by E-Bestand which has a Item Number ESB06, but I don't know the chip version.

I had followed this thread “New Bluetooth Drivers, For Sharp ROMs using 2.4.18 kernel” [a href=\'index.php?showtopic=0\']https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=9995&hl=bluetooth[/a] and installing the ipks as following:
bluez-zaurus-2.13_2.4.18_alpha3_arm.ipk
susp-resume_0.9-3.1.ipk
sudo-0.1.ipk
susp-resume-bluez_0.9.1_arm.ipk

Besides, I also installed the following ipks simultaneously:
qshdlg_0.6.2-1_arm.ipk
bluepin_0.0.1-1_arm.ipk
qtopia-bluetoothnetworkapplet_1.0.1_arm.ipk
qtopia-pannetworkapplet_1.0.1_arm.ipk
bluetooth-support_1.23_arm.ipk

I had also deleted the file:
/etc/pcmcia/bm3.conf

When I entered konsole and typed “hciconfig”, it shows:
hci0:   Type: USB
        BD Address: 00:11:67:05:EE:82 ACL MTU: 678:8 SCO MTU: 48:10
        UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN
        RX bytes:99 acl:0 sco:0 events:13 errors:0
        TX bytes:299 acl:0 sco:0 commands:13 errors:0
Question 1:  In my understanding, if it could show the messages listed above, it means that this Dongle is recognized by Zaurus, and it should be able to use the BT applications on Zaurus.  Does it correct??

Next, I turned my cellphone’s and compuetr’s BT on, and then typed “hcitool scan”, it shows:
# hcitool scan
Scanning ...
Inquiry failed: Connection timed out
It cannot find my cellphone or my computer.  As so far, I cannot use any BT applications on my Zaurus 6000L.
Question 2:  If my understanding of Question 1 is correct, how to make the BT applications get work on my 6000L??

Please help me to overcome the two questions.  Thanks in advance!

Software / Quasar Media Player Released For Sharprom And Pdaxrom

« on: November 08, 2007, 11:25:57 pm »

the_oak, thank you very much, now I can play the MPEG file in landscape mode   !!

for other 6000L user's reference, below are the steps that I do for my Z (under SharpRom) for playing the musics via Quasar Media Player:

1. Install mplayer-bvdd version 1.1.5-1 ([a href=\'index.php?act=findpost&pid=0\']http://atty.skr.jp/pub/zaurus/mplayer/mplayer-bvdd_1.1.5-1_arm.ipk[/a])
2. Install Quasar Media Player.
3. According to gab74's statement, creating fb.modes in /etc/, and it contains the following:
[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']mode "qvga"
geometry 240 320 240 320 16
timings 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
endmode[/div]
4. According to the_oak's statement, creating mplayer.conf in /home/QtPalmtop/etc/mplayer, and it contains the following:
[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']monitoraspect=4:3
#monitoraspect=16:9
#monitoraspect=3:4[/div]
5. According to the_oak's statement, within the Quasar program, click on "Tools" then "Configuration". On the MPlayer tab:
  (1)Put a check in the box beside "Use additional options:", and put
      "-vo fbdev -fbmode qvga -vm -vop rotate=1"
      in the box
  (2)Keep the box which below "Mplayer location" simply says "mplayer"

Thanks again, the-oak, you had made my dream come true  
Further thanks to eviLjazz and gab74!!

I don't have time right now

I’m so sorry for disturbing you, please do me a favor once you are available again.

but there is an old thread about this and Gab 74 wrote this:
https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?s=&...ost&p=50101

Ha, we cited the same thread with different pages.

If I remember right, this fb.modes file was necessary.

Yes, I had already created this file in /etc/.

Also you need to check one of my posts in this thread for mplayer options in Configuration settings for Quasar.

Do you mean this?  

For other SL-6000 users information, the mplayer settings I used are:
-vo fbdev -fbmode qvga -vm -vop rotate=1

If yes, I had add this setting in mplayer configuration already.  But it doesn't work, I guess it could be that I have not add "vop=rotate=1" in my mplayer.conf successfully.  

Due to the mplayer.conf always shows malformed characters when I open it via Zedit, I need someone help me to add "vop=rotate=1" in it and then give it a try.   Any suggestions??  Thanks a million!!

The mplayer I have installed is: mplayer-bvdd version 1.1.5-1. It installed links to itself in several places (/home/Qtpalmtop/bin/ being one of them). I think I downloaded it from here:

http://atty.skr.jp/pub/zaurus/mplayer/mpla...1.1.5-1_arm.ipk

Hope this helps.

Thank you the_oak, it works!!  Now I could play the mp3 and mpeg files.  (I thought that the original "mpegplayer" and "mplayer" are the same file, please forgive me for making such silly mistake.)

But I could not play the mpeg in landscape model (fullscreen).  When I played the mpeg files, it shows a small screen (about quarter of the whole screen).  I had tried to add "vop=rotate=1" to mplayer.conf on my Z (I refer to this topic "Video playback on the 6000 - OESF Forums"
https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showto...6000&st=30), however, I could not add those words in it because my mplayer.conf shows malformed characters when I open it with Zedit.

Could someone please tell me how to make it play MPEG in landscape model??  Thanks in advance.

Software / Quasar Media Player Released For Sharprom And Pdaxrom

« on: November 06, 2007, 09:14:49 am »

I'm using 6000L with Sharp ROM, and I had installed Quasar Media Player (0.9) twice on my Z, but so sad that it could not work on my Z.  

My situation was:
Installed fine.  The first time to startup the program fine, but I could not play any MP3 or MPEG file.  Therefore, I closed Quasar Media Player and re-executed it again.    However, the program just hangs there and nothing happened.  Namely, installing with package manager goes fine, but I can not to actually start it.  I don't know how to make it work on my Z.

FYI, I only use the stock Mplayer, without any addition libs.  Shall I install another libs on my 6000L??  I hope that someone could help me to use this execellent player on my Z, thanks in advance!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update:

It's strange that I can "enter" this program's control panel now.  When I add the mp3 from a file, I could see this song  shows up in the On-The-Go Playlist.  However, when I push the "play" botton, it always shows the information that "mplayer could not be executed or was not found on your system.  Would you like to specify the location of the mplayer binary on your system?"

So I go to "tools" --> "configuration"  -->  "mplayer", I specify the location as "/home/Qtpalmtop/bin/mpegplayer" (I cannot file a file called "mplayer"), then re-play the song.  But the same information still shows up.  

I still could use the original "Media Player" on my 6000L, please tell me how to specify the location of the mplayer binary.  Thanks in advance.

General Discussion / I Mounted A 2 Gig Sd Card!

« on: October 27, 2007, 10:13:34 am »

Thanks Cyril92, Xamindar, and Cybersphinx for helping me, thanks again!!    

I found that there are "Two" sharp_mmcsd_m.o files that under two different directories listed below:
/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o, <--- this one (sharp_mmcsd_m.o) looks like linked to the other one listed below.
/lib/modules.rom/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o
Please tell me which one should be replaced??

The /lib/modules.rom/ directory is not writeable, you have to use /lib/modules/.

Thanks for your reply, it works!!! I have backup the original files!!

However, I have further question:  How could I replace the original sharp_mmcsd_m.o to the fixed one under /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/  ??

I guess that I may replace the original file by the following methods, please tell me which one is correct:
 
1. Delete the original sharp_mmcsd_m.o under /lib/modules/, and use Tree!Explorer copy and paste the fixed one to the same directory, reboot??  

2. Using Terminal to replace the original file.  But I do not know how to do it, could you tell me the method??

3. Should I re-link the fixed file to the original sharp_mmcsd_m.o under /lib/modules.rom/??  Or I have to create a new link?? If I have to create the new link, how to create the new link??

Please help me again.  Thank you.

« on: October 27, 2007, 09:17:38 am »

Thaks for your kindly answers, I am so happy that all you would like to help me to mount the 2 GB SD card.  
 

You might have to do it at the console.  Do you have the konsole program installed?

Do you mean "Terminal"? Yes, I had installed it, and I had installed the konsole, too.  But I don't know how to use them correctly   .

Just use "su" to become root and copy it.  Make sure you make a backup of the original file first in case the new one doesn't work.  "cp original_file original_file.bak"
If you are not comfortable using the konsole just ask here and we can help you out.

I found that there are "Two" sharp_mmcsd_m.o files that under two different directories listed below:
/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o, <--- this one (sharp_mmcsd_m.o) looks like linked to the other one listed below.

/lib/modules.rom/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o

Please tell me which one should be replaced??

I have tried to backup the two original files (sharp_mmcsd_m.o) via Terminal, but failed due to I am not comfortable using the Terminal. I use the description below tried to enter the /lib/xxxxxxxxxx/block/ directory first:
su
cd /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/

when I pressed enter at that time, I got "No such file or directory" message, and I have no idea what to do then.

Please help me to mount the 2 GB SD card, thanks again.

Probably you should be root to have rights to change such this file.

Thanks for this info. I had changed the Tree!Explorer to root when I revised this file, and it didn't work.  Anything I missed?  Please help me to use the 2GB SD Card on my 6000L.  Thanks in advance!

I am using SL-6000L, but I cannot make the file which under /lib/modules(&modules.com)/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o to be replaced via Tree!Explorer QT by copy & Paste.  It is always showing that "Cannot write '/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/********/sharp_mmcsd_m.o'. You do not have the permission or the file may be in use", so that I could not replace it.  Could you please tell me how to change this file  to the fixed one??  Many Thanks!
