Angstrom & OpenZaurus / How To Reset Opie?

« on: June 16, 2005, 09:12:23 pm »

Sorry, I have one of the 32MB RAM Zaurus' and the swap makes a big difference...  I was just trying to give a tip that would hopefully prevent Opie from coming to a crawling halt in the first place.

To help speed up your installs, everyday use, and reduce the number of program crashes you should make a swap partition on an SD card.  The documentation is in different posts on the forum but if you can't find it, post a request and myself or someone else can walk you through it.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / How Kernel Handles Pxa255 On 5600?

« on: April 20, 2005, 02:49:42 am »

I just flashed to the new kernel and I have experienced the same problem as ShaneFalco.  I am using a Linksys WCF12 and this the last part of the output from dmesg

hostap_cs_crypt: registered algorithm 'NULL'
hostap_cs: 0.3.7 - 2005-02-12 (Jouni Malinen<jkmaline@cc.hut.fi>)

... followed by what looks like a dump of some sort (if you need the rest let me know)

If I can do anything else to help let me know.

Windows Issues / Openzaurus And The Sdl-5600

« on: March 07, 2005, 11:15:13 am »

I read on another post that once the 5600 hibernates/sleeps it can no longer be recognized by windows until you reboot it.  Try rebooting your zaurus, wait until Opie loads, and then put it in the cradle.

I've been able to get it to install the drivers but I haven't had any luck getting is to sync with Outlook     If you get it to work with Outlook please post what you did.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Media Player For Opie

« on: February 23, 2005, 02:39:11 am »

I too have experienced problems with xmms playing mp3's... from my playing around it appears to be related to the bitrate on the mp3.  Bitrate of 128 and lower seem to play fine while 192 and higher refuse to play (I do not remember if mp3's encoded at 160 play or not).  I was able to get mp3's encoded at 192 and higher to play from the console using mplayer if that helps any???

Correction:  Opie Media Player skips on the higher bitrate mp3's whereas xmms just isn't playing them...

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.2 Opie & Gps

« on: January 29, 2005, 01:13:18 am »

Try
stty -F /dev/ttyS0 4800

stty -F /dev/ttyS0 should then display that the serial port was set to 4800 baud.
Then cat /dev /ttyS0 should display something
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=64310\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

That worked like a charm.  I appreciate the help now on to zRoadmap and qpegps.  Thanks again.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.2 Opie & Gps

« on: January 27, 2005, 06:08:21 pm »

I am using a serial gps unit on a 5600 and am still having no success.  Here is my inittab:

Code: [Select]

# /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration.
# $Id: inittab,v 1.91 2002/01/25 13:35:21 miquels Exp $

# The default runlevel.
id:2:initdefault:

# Boot-time system configuration/initialization script.
# This is run first except when booting in emergency (-b) mode.
si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS

# What to do in single-user mode.
~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin

# /etc/init.d executes the S and K scripts upon change
# of runlevel.
#
# Runlevel 0 is halt.
# Runlevel 1 is single-user.
# Runlevels 2-5 are multi-user.
# Runlevel 6 is reboot.

l0:0:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 0
l1:1:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 1
l2:2:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 6
# Normally not reached, but fallthrough in case of emergency.
z6:6:respawn:/sbin/sulogin
#S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS0
# /sbin/getty invocations for the runlevels.
#
# The "id" field MUST be the same as the last
# characters of the device (after "tty").
#
# Format:
#  :::
#
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
# 2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
# 3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
# 4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
As you can see, I have tried commenting out the suggested line but I still can't get it to work.  If I try cat /dev/ttyS0 as suggested it doesn't display anything and I have to ctrl+c.  I also tried to cat /dev/ttyS3 and got "cat: Read error: Input/output error".  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the raw data without gpsd?  I figure I might as well start with baby steps... BTW the light on the gps unit does flash on and off like it did when it was working before.

Thanks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.2 Opie & Gps

Maybe one of you can help me.  I am having trouble getting my gps unit (from serialio.com) to work with my 5600 with opie.  I tried commenting out the line you suggest bazmi but I still cannot get it to work.  I know it can work because I had it working with qpeGpS on the sharp rom.  Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

P.S. I'm trying to get the gps unit to work with qpeGPS and all my programs are on a 256MB SD card in case that helps.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Browser For 3.5.2 Opie

« on: December 17, 2004, 12:06:59 am »

msjones,

I was able to get konqueror to work on my 5600 by installing libstdc++6 from the 3.5.1 feed.  If anyone out there knows of a better way to get konqueror working on a 5600 please post it.

hope that helps... if you still have questions feel free to send me a PM
