Qt/Qtopia / Missing Libopcodes-2.9.5.0.31.so

« on: March 26, 2012, 07:11:07 am »

Had similar problems, because on my 5500 3.10 or 3.13 with Sharp ROM there was no sudo package installed and user zaurus couldn't execute all instructions in the dev-image setup script. One of the instructions that failed was the symlinking of the libraries. Fix: install sudo before you install the dev-image.

Qt/Qtopia / Developer Image 1.6 Configuration Question

« on: March 26, 2012, 07:05:06 am »

Thanks! Space on SD-card or CF-card is a lot cheaper than in former times. I'll try to extract the dev-image on a desktop linux with squashfs-support (e.g. with Slax or Puppy LiveCD) and transfer the files on a SD card for the Zaurus.

That is a great idea, & here's one better: Repack the uncompressed image files in cramfs format, which is supported by default at least in Sharp's C860  ROM. Developer Image version 1.5 was provided in cramfs format, though that package has long since disappeared from the Internet.

Done.

You don't need a special Linux with squashfs support. BTW. often squashfs support in modern linux is squashfs 4.0 and that can not mount squashfs 2 which is the version of the dev-image 1.6.

For most linux distros there is a package squashfs-tools with unsquashfs, a tool to extract squashfs archives. And this tool can extract squashfs version 2 too. unsquashfs (or modern 7-zip which can also extract squashfs) is available for Windows too, but i didn't try these because i was afraid that symlinks in the dev-image will get broken.

After extraction you can make a cramfs archive with mkcramfs from the cramfsprogs package.

Sharp ROMs / Prism 2.5 Firmware Trouble

This sounds good for WPA wifi connection.
I have this combination working on a C3200.

Why do you want to compile the hostap-utils-0.4.7?

There are already complied versions for hostap and wpa_supplicant available.
I'll check what i have installed and give you the file names when i'm back home.

Shout-Out ;-)

Now with winter approaching this is the time for Zaurus and other hobbyist things. Last week i could make my C3200 cooperate with WPA WiFi Router, jippy, now i can use webradio in my sleeping room! During such works i often use OESF for help on specific topics; many of my searches in Google end here. And often i'm not here as registrated user but as guest. I log in every 1-2 weeks to check for news.

Qt/Qtopia / Developer Image 1.6 Configuration Question

I'm not an expert.

All tools need some sort of standard path to tools, include dirs, lib dirs... without links all these settings need the addition of the mount location. This is a lot of work.

For the mount location itself: /home/zaurus/develop is as good as every other location. When you use the default /home/zaurus/develop you don't need to change the settings in the install script (and other settngs in the image if there are such)

My questions: Are the dev_img16.img from elsix for Sharp ROM and OpenZaurus the same? Can the Image be used on the SL5500, too?

General Discussion / Larger Sdhc Cards On Sharp Rom

« on: April 30, 2010, 02:39:47 pm »

Today is Xmas

I have a Fujifilm 4GB SD card and it was not possible to use this card with C1000 (ROM 1.01JP) and tetsu-SD-Driver 1.0. When i tried the zaurus fell in a endless loop and a soft reset was required.

Now with bucchi 2.1 SDHC-Driver the card is recognized!

Thank you very much!

Snappy,

i see in your sig

Akita (Daily use)
SL-C1000 with Cacko 1.23 full
Accessories: Wifi XI-825 CF | 4GB 150x SDCARD | 1GB RiDATA PRO-2 80x CF

that you use a 4GB 150x SDCARD. I know only about 1 GB and 2GB in the Secure Digital official specs and possible touble with non-SDHC cards >1GB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital). I would like to use a 4GB card too, so my questions are: which brand is your card and do you use a special SD driver module?

Thanks
Stefan

5x00 Hardware / Failproof Unbricking Method For Sl-5000d And Sl-5500

« on: March 31, 2009, 07:39:31 am »

I tried to contact matrixcore, but had no success.

Anyone how has more information about this topic?

I have a Zaurus Collie (5500) and want to do a complete backup before i do large software modifcations. The 5500 has no NAND backup/restore like newer Zaurii and JTAG seems to be the way to go...

Thanks
Stefan

Ich komme seit ca. 1 Woche bei www.linuxontour.de nicht mehr auf die Forenseiten. Es kommt bei mir nur eine allgemeine Seite mit ""Wartung" und Login. Ist das nur bei mir so?
