Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Opie vs GPE

« on: October 26, 2004, 05:54:58 pm »

Which environment is everyone using with 3.5.1?  Why do you prefer that to the other?

My two favorite apps are console apps, anyway (kismet and hnb), so it doesn't matter that much to me.  I'm looking for a good gps program, pdf viewer, and sketchbook.  Does one particular environment have better versions of these apps than another?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / KO/PI compiled for Openzaurus 3.36?

« on: May 22, 2004, 01:39:35 pm »

I\'ve built a ko/pi package using oe.  However, I couldn\'t install it - it required a newer glibc.  Ipkg trashed my system (3.3.6pre1) while trying to upgrade glibc.  Any suggestions?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Openembedded and building images

« on: May 22, 2004, 01:35:23 pm »

I\'ve been using openembedded recently to build packages.  However, I can\'t install anything because 3.3.6pre1 is too old - if I try to install a package, it requires a newer glibc.  ipkg can\'t install glibc - it fails partyway through and leaves the system trashed.

So how do I upgrade my zaurus so it\'ll work with openembedded packages?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / lirc_sir broken in 3.3.6?

« on: March 16, 2004, 06:03:01 am »

I\'m trying to get lirc working on the latest OZ rom.  However, opie-remote keeps crashing.  This is output from lircd:

lircd 0.6.6: could not open /dev/lirc
lircd 0.6.6: default_init(): No such file or directory
lircd 0.6.6: caught signal
SIGTERM


I have a /dev/lirc, that was created when I installed the lirc package.  To be sure, I removed it, then recreated with mknod.  Still nothing.

I do notice that when I modprobe lirc_sir, I see

Warning: /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/char/lirc_sir.o symbol for parameter irq not found

modinfo reveals:

warning: symbol for parameter irq not found
parm:        irq int, description \"Interrupt (16)\"


Sure enough, I can\'t set irq. Presumably, it has a valid default.  Still, I don\'t knwo what\'s happening.  Are the sources for this kernel (2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix) available so I could try building the module myself?
