Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.3 Bug List

« on: July 05, 2005, 11:47:53 am »

Calendar corruption...

I am not sure where the bug actually exists, but when syncing the calendar on Qtopia 1.7, any all day events automatically become 2 day events.  For instance, I added an event for July 4th titled "Independence Day" and check the "All Day" block.  I synced my Z with Qtopia which shows a 2-day event for July 4th and 5th.  This bug showed up with the vanilla OZ Opie Rom and the Hengtes Opie Rom.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.3 Gpe-image

« on: May 10, 2005, 04:25:34 pm »

I installed OZ 3.5.3 (GPE) a few days ago to test it out using a 32/32 configuration on a SL-5500.  I can confirm the autologin of root issue, as well as the in-ability of users to log in if their config was changed.  I can also confirm the control applet did nothing at all, but the only major problem I found was the inability to sync with the PC.  I was able to ping both ways, but that was it, so this morning I decided to try Opie.  Right away it communicated with Qtopia 1.7, so it already has a leg up in my case.  At this time, I don't remember any other issues that I had with GPE, and the jury is still out on Opie.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Benchmark Numbers...

« on: May 10, 2005, 04:00:52 pm »

I ran the benchmark tests on my Sl-5500 running OZ 3.5.3 (Opie) just for the sake of curiousity, and got the following results, and compared them to the stored previous results also on a SL-5500:

                                                         
1. Integer Arithmetic -> 309358 dhrys (240010 dhrys)
2. Floating Point Unit -> 4.79 secs (41.498 secs)
3. Text Rendering -> 399 chars/sec (88 chars/sec)
4. Gfx Rendering -> 2787.00 gops/sec (1786 gops/sec)
5. RAM Performance -> 28.10 MB/s : 23.39 MB/s (50.123 kb/sec)
6. SD Card Performance * -> 28.10 MB/s : 23.05 MB/s (41.7329 kb/sec)
7. CF Card Performance -> 27.90 MB/s : 988.75 kb/s (105.873 kb/sec)

* Not sure how this was measured without a SD card installed

If these numbers are anywhere close to accurate, my congradulations to the developers.  Those are some fairly staggering numbers by comparison, I can only imagine what a 2.6 kernel would probably do to those numbers.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / GPE Login Anomolies

This anomoly still affects OZ 3.5.3 (GPE), and the previously mention fix-action seems to be the only fix currently.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Syncing With Pc

« on: May 08, 2005, 10:56:39 pm »

Zaurus: SL-5500/Collie
kernel: 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix
OpenZaurus version: 3.5.3
OpenZaurus Type: GPE

Hello,

This morning I installed OZ 3.5.3 (GPE) onto my SL-5500, which went off fine.  But, for some reason I am unable to Sync with Qtopia 1.7.  I have searched around and found a few tips but nothing seems to work.  I can actually ping from the Z -> PC and back, but the software will not connect.  I even installed Intellisync 1.43E, but get the same results.

PC IP is 192.168.129.200, running XP Pro SP2 (I know its windows, but I can't convert the wife )
Z IP is 192.168.129.201

I copied the files over to the CF card this morning while it still had original ROM in place.

Also, for some reason the Z won't sleep even with all sleep options enabled.

Thanks for any assistance in advance.
