Angstrom & OpenZaurus / collie and kernel from 3.5.3 upgrades

« on: July 13, 2005, 05:19:53 am »

View your personal message for a offer from me. Perhaps I can help you...

Cheers,

Andreas

As far as I understand, the r21 does not work with GPE.  It does work with Opie.

but I'm not sure...

I offered $25 for a bootable working 3.5.3 kernel for the SL-5500.

Let me revise the offer(I'll honor the previous one it's in some past post).

I'll give $35 for a kernel that does the following -
1- boots with the stock 3.5.3 Opie and GPE images(this can be relaxed if you provide a new GPE image to go with the new kernel
2- right arrow(and other keys) do NOT suspend the machine if you hold them down
3- the "Cancel"/Off button works: ie it
3a- suspends the machine if it's awake
3b- resumes the machine if it's suspended
(where suspend = doesn't drain the battery too fast)
4- the machine autosuspends: ie if you leave it on it'll shut itself off
5- suspend from the menu works
6- I'd really like the buzzer as dsp code to be compiled in also, how about $40 if you get that in there too

Originally I had kinda directed my offer to hrw but I'll pay anyone.  Gotta work on an SL-5500.

Paypal or any method you like(that's safe for me).

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz Keyboard Death?

« on: July 11, 2005, 05:30:44 am »

Hi,

have the same problems. Most of the time it occurs after a longer supsend (e.g. over night).

Andreas

This seems to occur frequently.  My Zaurus suddenly doesn't register key presses from either the keyboard or the magic buttons (addressbook, calendar, arrows, ok, etc.).

I'm running henteges 3.5.3 on an SL5000d.  Every time I suspend, I use the menu (not the keyboard), because of something I read elsewhere.

With this bug I can turn the zaurus on using the cancel key, but I can't successfully do anything keyboard related after that.  Ideas?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / collie and kernel from 3.5.3 upgrades

« on: July 08, 2005, 06:24:10 pm »

Update News for 5000D (and probably 5500):

as I reported, the kernel in the upgrade feed didn't solve the problem on SL-5000D for me.
That was the reason that I started to dig into the kernel and the oe build system.

At the moment, I've got a kernel that is working for me. First thing I found was/is a bug/issue
with open embedded: I think that the kernel config file for the 5000D has not the correct
config option set: CONFIG_COLLIE_DEV is not set. Setting this resulted in a kernel that worked.

Playing with this kernel, I found that resuming with the "Cancel" button worked only once (most
times), after another suspend the Z didn't wake up again. Is this the same with 5500 Z's?

Well, I digged into the code and patched it at the apm code. Now it seems to work.
I will do some more testing and tweaking until I will post this patch.

If anyone is interested, please contact me.

Hope this is helpful for anyone,

Andreas

 Hmmmm...

Anyoune with a SL-5000D who can confirm that I'm not the only one that has
a zaurus that has the suspend/resume issues even with the new kernel?

Greetings,

Andreas

Hi,

I've tried this update with a SL-5000D and it worked without any problems (except
the wrong kernel issue when booting).

BUT:

I still have the suspend/resume issues!!!

This fix doesn't seem to work with SL-5000D (at least with mine). For example:
Pressing Right-Button or Menu at the "waiting one minute state" does suspend my
Zaurus.

Any Ideas?

Greetings,

Andreas

P.S.: Same with OZ 3.5.2, only working Version for me is 3.5.1

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz3.5.3 (collie) On/off Button Problem

« on: June 13, 2005, 12:07:08 pm »

Hi all,

I have the same problem here with OZ 3.5.3 and 3.5.2 on a SL-5000D. OZ 3.5.1 has no such problems. Did some investigations, perhaps they help:

- Installed OZ 3.5.1
- Used OZ 3.5.3 feeds for all other install/updates
- Uninstalled all opie packages, libqpe1, libqte2, tslib
- Forced reinstall off libgcc2
- installed task-opie-base

After that, i got a (very basic) running version of Opie 1.2 on a 3.5.1 ROM.
Had the same Suspend/Resume Problem as described above.

Seems not to be a kernel/apmd problem...

What do you think?

Greetings,

Andreas
