Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Anybody Compile Flite Or Roadmap For 3.5.1?

« on: December 13, 2004, 02:38:06 am »

I've gotten zroadmap to work under 3.5.2, but have had no luck with qpeGPS.  That and opieMail are the killer apps for me.  I'll be leaving for SE-Asia tomorrow morning and was trying to get my old SL-5500 up to snuff before leaving.

OpieMail is doing great.  It talks SSL to my imap server and TLS to  my smtp server.  Wonderful.  

qpeGPS shows promise, but I can't install the build on SF.net, and the build in the 3.5.2 feed doesn't work with gpsd from the 3.5.2 feed.  I would have liked to rebuild w/ debugging, but I struggled to get a working toolchain (openembedded being down limits me to a very small set of resources).

Does anyone have a build box I could get an account on?  There are reports of qpeGPS 0.9.2.1 working well, but, like I said, the ipks on sf.net are fubar'd.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Openzaurus 3.5.2 & Netgear Ma701

From the tools screen, select Network, choose wlan0, then click configure.  Set the mode to managed, then rescan the neighborhood.  You should see your AP come up.

Select it for your SSID and everything should work.

Also, there's a mistake floating around about /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf.  You should append this stanza to the hostap_cs.conf file:

card "NETGEAR MA701 Wireless CF Card"
   manfid 0xd601, 0x0002
   bind "hostap_cs"

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Toolchain?

« on: December 09, 2004, 10:59:00 pm »

Hey everyone,

I've been searching for an OZ compatible toolchain so that I can do some debugging on qpeGPS.  The links I've come accross are dead.  Is there any recent info on how to set this up?

If it makes a difference, my workstation is fedora core 3 based (gcc 3.4.2 )

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.2 Kernel Module Problems...

« on: December 01, 2004, 09:44:14 pm »

kapm-idled is kernel task to do nothing - ignore it

So a load average of 3.00 is ok when the unit is completely idle (even opie not running)?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.2 Kernel Module Problems...

« on: December 01, 2004, 09:39:31 pm »

OK, seems to work with zaurus_kbdsim  (btw, why insmod -f )

So, rather than install diff on my z or cp down the old and new files to my workstation, the diff looks like:

- insmod -f kbdsim
+ insmod zaurus_kbdsim

anyway, the /etc/init.d/fbvncinput file is only 8 lines (shorter than a proper diff).

Mine now looks like:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

rm -f /dev/ts
mkfifo /dev/ts
mkfifo /dev/tssim
mknod /dev/kbdsim c 61 0
insmod zaurus_kbdsim                   <<<<<<<<<<
/usr/bin/tssimd

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.2 Kernel Module Problems...

« on: December 01, 2004, 01:32:27 pm »

Hi everyone,

I had just finished installing OZ 3.5.1 on my 5500 (opie) when I went to the web site and found word that 3.5.2 was available.  Thinking that it wouldn't be too hard to upgrade (now that I had familiarized myself with the procedure), I started fresh.

Anyway, a couple things I noticed...

First, kapm-idle seems to use a lot of CPU (92.1%).  Top shows a consistent load average of ~3.00.  Is this all normal?

Second, when I try to start fbvncserver using '/etc/init.d/fbvncinput start', it complains that it there's no module named kbdsim.  Should I alter the init script to insmod zaurus_kbdsim.o, the module that installed with fbvncserver-kmodule?

Thankis for now (I'm sure I'll have a couple more questions soon - specially about installing opera).
