General Discussion / Serial Port On 6000l

« on: July 14, 2005, 09:52:55 pm »

> you  tried ttys0 ?

Yes.  Thanks, but  nojoy.

The gps vendor says to reboot and go into run mode 4
from the menu
  q (x): Qtopia
  a (e): Linux Console
  r (e): init 4 (ttyS0:terminal)
  t (e): init 5 (ttyS0:-free-)

However, this seems to be for the Sharp rom, and
the openzaurus rom did not have that option.  Are
there different runlevels that support/don't support
the serial port?

General Discussion / Serial Port On 6000l

What is the name of the serial port on the Zaurus 6000L with
openembedded?

When trying to run gpsd-dev, the first thing in the install
file says to:

  stty -F /dev/ttyXXX ispeed 4800 && cat < /dev/ttyXXX

I've tried that with every device listed in /dev/tty*, but
nothing shows up.  What is the name of the serial port on the
Zaurus?  Does the serialio.com gps unit work with that
combination of s/w and h/w?

The led on the gps unit blinks, which indicates that it is
powered up and has a position, so that much seems to be working.

Is there an tcpdump/ethereal for serial ports that can be used
to diagnose this problem?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Kernel Didn't Upgrade To 3.5.3

1) I'm using a ext2-formatted SD card. Does it have to be vfat
for the upgrade to work properly?

Yes. Or fat16.

I'm suprised you've flashed anything at all (and have Opie working) - were you running an Opie ROM beforehand?

I've tried both zImage and zImage.bin in the root directory of the
SD card, with the same results.

Yes, and that time the SD card was vfat.  This time, I mixed 3.5.2 instructions with
3.5.3 updater.sh, which was the problem.

Thank you for the reply.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Kernel Didn't Upgrade To 3.5.3

« on: April 21, 2005, 05:01:25 pm »

I tried to follow the instructions to upgrade from OZ 3.5.2 / Opie 1.1.7,
to OZ 3.5.3 / Opie 1.2 but something didn't work.  Upon boot, I get
  You are using the wrong kernel!
  You are running ' Linux 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-021129 '
  I expect kernel ' Linux 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-3.5.3 '

I take it that the kernel (zImage) didn't flash properly.

1) I'm using a ext2-formatted SD card.  Does it have to be vfat
for the upgrade to work properly?

2) when the update runs, it says something like
  Flash erase done.
  0%          100%
  ..........
  Please reset.

That is, the dots don't quite go all the way up to the 100% mark,
which looks suspicious.

I've tried both zImage and zImage.bin in the root directory of the
SD card, with the same results.

If I let the boot continue, Opie starts, and says it is 1.2.  Is
it ok to just go ahead and ignore the warning and run this way?

Any suggestions?
