OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Qpegps 9.2.3.3

« on: August 17, 2006, 10:01:20 pm »

Yeah, I could see that. I guess I'll install the development related packages and try to compile the newest version. Any help would be appreciated.

OpenZaurus/Opie/Qtopia / Qpegps 9.2.3.3

« on: August 10, 2006, 07:28:12 pm »

Just wondering if anyone has compiled qpegps 9.2.3.3  (source at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ckage_id=51026) for openzaurus 3.5.4 yet, or has plans to in the future. I currently run 9.2.3 fine, but 9.2.3.3 has much needed features and bug fixes. Why wouldn't qpegps 9.2.3.3 be included in 3.5.4? It was released in February of 06' it seems.

On the qpegps site, they provide binarys that are only compatible through runcompat, which I read corrupts and crashes like none other (see https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...2&#entry129302) so I haven't tried to install it (although running the binary from the IPK mentioned above produces a standard compat error looking for _20t.darkCyan, something I saw corrected in other applications under 3.5.3 with the compat libs).

Would it be much work? I've only compiled things on desktop linux boxes that already had gcc and everything ready to go, but if it's not that bad to get the zaurus compiling apps, I would do it and try to make an ipk if someone would point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.2 Opie & Gps

« on: August 10, 2006, 12:33:01 pm »

Have you tried re-installing gpsd 2.20 from the OZ feed and then replacing the gpsd binary in /usr/sbin with the one from hvontres?
This worked very well for me. If you leave the name as gpsd then it should work.
I hope this helps.
Donald.

Basically, the gpsd telltale in qpegps flickers between green OK and red ERR.  RoadmapGPS shows gobbledygook, control characters etc. Using the gpsd 2.20-r1 from the 3.5.3 feed I get proper nema data in RoadmapGPS, but nothing in qpegps, only a green OK.

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=96908\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Replacing the gpsd binary gave me great results on my collie 5500 under OZ 3.5.4. Both qpegps and roadmap run perfectly (and at the same time), track logs are great, but signals are sometimes hard to get (Abicom CF GPS with external antenna). I had screwed around with alot of commands before hand, but it turned out that all I needed to do was have everything installed (gpsd, qpegps, roadmap), then simply replace the /usr/sbin/gpsd with the version provided previously in this threadz (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=528). I had experienced proper function in roadmap and none in qpegps using the latest version of gpsd, it just seems a downgrade is required to have qpegps working, but this doesn't effect function in roadmap.

I did, however, experience the flashing gpsd status message at times, I believe it was related to having two copies of gpsd running, or resuming from suspend and having problems with that.

SUGGESTION: If you are using a CF GPS card and you wish to suspend, simply suspend and then remove the card. When you want to resume, resume the zaurus and then plug the CF card in. It will then work properly, I've done this and aquired GPS signals within seconds of resume.

Good luck, it's worth all the effing around!

that would explain the difference, but it sounds like this will work for collie owners sooon.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Ir Problems With 3.5.4.1

« on: August 04, 2006, 05:59:07 pm »

Ok, I'm slowly starting to understand this problem.

In the 2.6 OZ kernel, all of the hardware specific IR port code lives in the pxaficp_ir module which hooks into the irda module to provide hardware control. So an ifconfig irda0 up makes the IRDA stack turn on and connect to the IR port. All of the OBEX stuff uses the IRDA stack so it works OK (my phone was able to see my Z and vice versa).

However, most (all?) keyboards are SIR only. They don't support any of the IRDA protocols. So zkbdd needs to connect directly to the tty device that is associated with the IR port. But IRDA owns the port so when zkbdd tries to control ttyS2, it fails. If I disconnect the IRDA stack with an ifconfig irda0 down, it powers off the IR port so now zkbdd can connect to ttyS2 just fine, but it doesn't do me any good because the port is shut off. I'm not entirely sure how to get around this yet. If anyone out there actually knows how this works, I'd love to hear from you. Note that this is on GPE. I suppose it's possible that OPIE has the solution burried in it somewhere. If anyone has gotten IRK to work with OZ 3.5.4.1 on a C7x0/C8x0, I'd love to hear from you.

Bottom line is that it doesn't look like zkbdd on 2.6 kernel devices is going to happen until I can get this sorted out.

Dave,
zkbdd takes input perfectly on ttyS2 on my collie SL5500 under 3.5.4, meaning scancodes register on the test9600 driver. Maybe there is a conflict with the setup for your phone? Both kbdd .1 and zkbdd .2 access ttyS2 fine for me on a default install, kbdd .1 even passes input correctly to the kernel and I get the 1500T maps (which are totally off).  Let me know what you think, or if I could send you any info or test anything. I think we're really close here.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Package Manager Updates File Lists Constantly

« on: July 31, 2006, 05:40:50 am »

Hey all,
I've been having this and other problems with the package management system in OZ. It seems that when I remove packages, the package manager updates tons of other file lists that are unrelated to the action requested. Is this a bug? Should I clear a file or delete something or change flags?

Here is an example of the phenomena:

Code: [Select]

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Ir Keyboard Drivers - Alpha Release

« on: July 31, 2006, 01:28:41 am »

Update: I installed zkbdd version .2 and got the recognition of scan codes using the test9600 driver, but am unable to even get incorrect input via the f8u1500t driver. I had to edit the f8u1500t.lua file and add quotes around all statements including hex, it would give a syntax error otherwise.

I am up for writing a driver for the f8u1500 if I can get this working, I bought the damn keyboard and I will not let my 20 bucks go to waste.

Please give any input you could possibly offer, it would be sweet if this page http://kopsisengineering.com/kopsis/ZkbddAddingKeyboards was finished, I wouldn't have to ask any questions. Re-writing a driver is pretty confusing via the description gave earlier in this thread.

Thanks!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Ir Keyboard Drivers - Alpha Release

« on: July 30, 2006, 03:17:19 pm »

Update: Upon restart, kbdd wasn't functional until I did "mkdir /dev/misc/" and "mknod /dev/misc/uinput c 10 223" and "ln -s /dev/misc/uinput /dev/uinput". Is there a way to make these commands permenant?

At this point, keystroke were registered when the -d option was enabled. Then, when I ran without the -d option, keystrokes were displayed on screen! The only problem is they are absolutley incorrect, nothing is mapped properly (left is $, up is ", right is _, ect). Should I be changing maps out for the F8U1500 or something? Any help is appreciated.

An interesing irony: The T key works perfectly on my F8U1500 (NOT T). I read previously in the thread that the non T models are not supported, should I just get to painstakingly mapping my own maps using the instructions in this thread?

Hey guys,
I have a Collie 5500 running OpenZaurus 3.5.4 (I know this is the wrong forum, but this is the only discussion I could find related to kbdd) and I have installed kbdd and uinput with success (obtained from the OZ3.5.4 feed, kbdd version .1) using the instructions in this thread (creating the /dev/misc/uinput dir and mknod). My only problem is this: When I run kbdd with the -d option, I can see press and release on my Belkin F8U1500 (NOT T) perfectly. When I simply run kbdd without the -d option, nothing happens upon keystoke. It seems the strokes are recognized, but just not turned into keyboard input.

Is there any way to solve this?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Irk Problems With Belkin Kb Under Oz

« on: January 24, 2006, 11:04:14 pm »

hey all,
i've been searching like hell all over the internet and am posting a question here as a last resort. i have a zaurus sl5500 under OZ 3.5.2 with opie and I am trying to get my Belkin F8U1500 working. I've got lirc installed and working great with opie-remote.

After having some serious problems installing the irk-belkin package (cannot find package irk-belkin) I simply put the package files in the proper places from data.tar. This might be the problem, but I don't know. Either way, when I use the IRK input method for belkin, configured correctly for my zaurus/kb, nothing works. I can't find a way to view output from the program to see if it is working correctly, and I have NO output from lircd -n (send output to stdout) Anyone have any experience getting this device to work? I am using lircd and irk-belkin from the oz.pdai.org mirror (making sure to download the lirc package for collie). Any help with being able to see error output or ANY way to check if something is working so I can narrow down the problem would be nice.

thanks in advance,
larry
