Debian / A Clean, Fresh, Configured Eabi Rootfs Tarball

« on: January 08, 2008, 11:52:28 am »

Great Work on this.

Any chance of a new version with Cortez's Libertas Kernel and the Libertas drivers available during the install?

I am asking this as my D-Link CF WiFi card died and the most readily available CD card these days in the UK seems to be the Sparklan 802.11g card.

Or am I being dim and will putting the module on the Zaurus and replacing the Kernel image in the package in the 1st post of this thread be enough?

Thanks to everyone who has put work into this endeavour.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Debian And Uboot

« on: July 26, 2007, 08:58:13 am »

The main reason that I am looking to change is that I cannot get Bluetooth to work on pdaXrom 0.198, I can get hcitool scan to see other devices and I can even pair with the Zaurus from my phone, but cannot get ppp to come up and make the connection.

I got ppp to connect to my old ISP (the one I used before I got DSL at home) using my C1000 running r198.
I did it manually and I did edit a few things to get it working:
in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

Code: [Select]

# PIN helper
pin_helper /usr/local/bin/bluepin_static;
...
...
...
# Local device class
class 0x3e0100;
...
...
...
# Default link policy
#   none    - no specific policy
#   rswitch - allow role switch
#   hold    - allow hold mode
#   sniff   - allow sniff mode
#   park    - allow park mode
lp rswitch,hold,sniff,park;
I created the /usr/local/bin/bluepin_static script as thus:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
echo "PIN:"
This is what I did to pear with my mobile:

Code: [Select]

hciconfig hci0 up
hcid
modprobe rfcomm
rfcomm connect rfcomm0 &
pppd  /dev/rfcomm0 115200 name  connect   "chat -v ABORT BUSY ABORT ERROR ABORT \"NO CARRIER\" \"\"  AT OK-AT-OK atz OK atx3l1 OK ats7=60 OK atdt CONNECT"
Also /etc/ppp/pap-secrets should look something like this:

Code: [Select]

# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client        server  secret                  IP addresses
#or maybe
#client server secret

Yeah, had all that working back in the good old days when the Bluetooth stuff was just getting going

I guess I babbles too much, what I want is a Kernel and install system to chuck Debian onto the HDD in my C3100

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Debian And Uboot

« on: July 25, 2007, 01:00:31 pm »

I've got a question: If I rip the filesystem off of an ARM Debian CD and stick it on SD/CF, could I use uBoot to boot it on the Z?

EDIT: I forgot to ask what the magic key combos are to pass rootfs location to uBoot. Or do I have that backwards, that you pass where the kernel is?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=159062\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I am in an "Interesting" position.

I have discovered while trying to uninstall uboot to go back to pdaXii13 that my NAND flash is faulty

What this seems to mean is that I cannot re-install the Sharp Bootloader (from the .DBK file on the TRISoft site)

The main reason that I am looking to change is that I cannot get Bluetooth to work on pdaXrom 0.198, I can get hcitool scan to see other devices and I can even pair with the Zaurus from my phone, but cannot get ppp to come up and make the connection.

My main goal however is to get Debian booting of the microdrive - I have a C3100.

All the links in this thread to things like the kernel.img file and the modules are all broken now, so I was wondering if anyone had copies of all the files required to install Debian on my Zaurus?

Preferably files that are proven to work, so off of someone's working Debian Cx00.

Thanks for any assistance

Sharp ROMs / Cacko 1.23 Download Link?

« on: December 25, 2006, 04:39:16 pm »

http://my-zaurus.narod.ru/cacko.html
Just opened for me. It's a bit slow, but all the Cacko images seem to still be there..
The screenshots really slow down this page, but the links to the Cacko images are there in about 20 seconds.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=149053\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Links are there - files/pages linked to are not

Looking for these myself

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Debian Raw

« on: February 22, 2006, 10:15:52 am »

Hey folks.

Got myself a C3100 the other month (friend on holiday in Japan)

I am wondering if anyone has been able to get Debian working as the only OS on the Zaurus.

So no QT, just pure, unadulterated Debian, installed on my 4GB Hitachi HD

Any takers?

General Discussion / Kino 2 issue

« on: August 19, 2004, 04:09:07 am »

Found the problem.

Kino2 does NOT like Directories with spaces in them

When I was copying the file it was just o /mnt/card/Documents

This was from /mnt/cf/Documents/Video/Last Exile

Changed this to /mnt/cf/Documents/Video/Last_Exile and it all works

General Discussion / Kino 2 issue

« on: August 18, 2004, 12:16:46 pm »

I have an MPEG4 file that I want to watch on my C860

If I put it on my SD Card then it plays no problem

If it is on mt CF card it doesn't play - however I can play it from the CF card using Mplayer.

Any thoughts people?

Cxx0 Hardware / WiFi Woes

« on: August 17, 2004, 05:00:28 pm »

Nothing to worry about - no need to ship it back.

The clue is (as always) in the error message

initmac

Which means (I think) that it is failing to IINITiate the Media Access Control layer.

I have a Netgear prism2 card using the wlan_ng drivers and had the same problem with the added bonus of the card going into suspend mode at the end of it.

All that is happening is that your card is unable to attach to a network.

Try setting up the following

Goto the network setup application and add a new connection  

In the Account tab call it Test

In the Config tab unceck the Non Spec ESS-ID

Wntr an ESS-ID of Test and change network type to Ad-Hoc

Now goto the TCP/IP tab and set the IP Address to 1.1.1.2, the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.252 and the Gateway to 1.1.1.1

This connection will be useful if you ever want to run Kismet as well as for testing your card

Now OK that and select your new connection and hit the connect button

You should see the Link light on the card come up and a connection will form

From here its just a case of troubleshooting your Wifi connection - ie we have proved it works

Nothing like how I expexted the card to work, but have been messing around with this card (and a bluetooth one) for about a week now (since I got my Z) and think I pretty much worked out the wrinkles

Hope this helps

David
