Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Hancom Apps & Oz 3.5.2 Opie

« on: February 21, 2005, 02:39:28 pm »

1. when i try to install hancomword, i get a message - 'no architecture defined'. i saw somewhere in this forum that this is because of  a broken control.tar in the ipk.  i tried with -force-depends but get the same message.

Your right, it is just the control file that is screwed up.  Here is how to fix it.  

1.tar -xzf hancommobileword_1.4.4_arm.ipk
2.tar -xzf control.tar.gz
3.emacs control (or whatever editor you like) to have just:

Code: [Select]

Package: hancommobileword
Installed-Size:  538444
Version: 1.4.4
Priority: optional
Section: qpe
Maintainer: www.hancom.com
Architecture: arm
Description: HancomMobileWordNote there should be one blank line at the end, and no other blank lines anywhere.
4.Save and exit the editor
5.tar -czf ./control.tar.gz ./control
6.tar -czf hancommobileword_1.4.4_arm.ipk ./debian-binary ./data.tar.gz ./control.tar.gz

Now the package manager should happily install this program.  You still need to do the oz-compat thing.  I don't know why, but I did not need to the linking at the end of bazmi's directions.  It worked for me, but I am new to OpenZaurus (flashed last night, and still getting programs loaded), so I don't know if it will work for anyone else.

General Discussion / help with SD read/write speed

« on: June 14, 2004, 10:17:43 am »

Actually, I haven\'t heard any complants yet about using the async kernel.  If you saw one, let me know so I can investigate.  

I have had trouble with the async kernel.  It doesn\'t seem to be the async part that is causing trouble though.  Ever since loading that kernel, my zaurus must be rebooted between uses of the the USB network interface to the computer.  If I put the Zaurus in the cradle, in a few seconds it will start to respond to pings from the computer.  If I take it out of the cradle and put it back in, it does not respond to ping, even if it was suspended and resumed while out of the cradle.  When re-inserted the computer ifconfig shows the usb0,  but ifconfig on the zaurus only shows the “lo”.  I have to reboot to be able to connect to the computer again.  

I re-flashed, and tried again as soon as the initial boot was finished, and had the same problem.  I don\'t know if it is a problem with the kernel, my SL-5500, or incomparability with the tkcrom 1.0.  I tried flashing the original tkcrom kernel, and the problem did go away, but the SD became unbearably slow again.  

I would rather use the async kernel (even with this problem) because it makes SD write more then 10x faster, but it would be perfect if it didn\'t have this little problem.
