Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom For C3000 Beta2

« on: January 11, 2006, 05:25:57 pm »

Just a short feedback...

I'm successfully installed this pdaxrom image on my C3000 (but extracted the hdimage.tgz myself, because i didn't read the workaround above). Thanks.

But another problem occured if i left a memory-card in the cf-slot, the init-script tried to mount this card as root. I think this is sometimes a very welcome behaviour, but should not be the default behavour?

Thanks again for made my C3000 usefull

C1000/3x00 Hardware / How To Do Video Out On C3000?

There should be no reason that it can't let you arbitrarily twiddle memory locations.

They even let the fields in the commands for that, but the framebuffer only accepts hard coded values for full screen at 16bit.

If that's the case I'm going to bed that it doesn't support any sort of compression, either.

No compression at all.

After going deeper in to the specs of this usb-vga adpter i see:

- every transfered frame must really be complete frame at 640x480x16 pixel (600k)
  (which means about 2 frames per second, see above)

- even moving the cursor need a complete frame

I hoped it is possible only to transfer changed picture blocks.

just for comleteness. This is the link to the(one?) usb-vga Solution:

Data Display AG - USB-VGA controller

There is also a preliminary documentation which seems to be enough for programming a linux driver.
Even if (and they do, i think) the usage and bandwidth restrictions above apply, it will be a very nice toy.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Usb Host Kernel Module Not Loading

« on: January 27, 2005, 05:41:47 am »

Seems that the dumb cable shorts some connector in the mini USB socket and wakes up the built in controller.  Before that it is off and the modules can't be forced to load.

Is that what you want to happen? 

Ahh, that means my cable is defect or just the false one. That was also my first guess.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

when try to load the module for the usb host ctlr i get this strange error:

Code: [Select]

Any thoughts?

thanks

PS: usbcore is loading fine, if i load usbcore before trying to insmod the ohci module i get the same error.
