iPAQ Forum / Howto Configure Targus Stowaway In Familiar 0.8.4

I did a wrong reseach.
There is no more use of kernel modules for keyboards, all is solved freeing tty0 for keyboard and configuring kbdd

iPAQ Forum / Howto Configure Targus Stowaway In Familiar 0.8.4

« on: November 13, 2006, 05:23:56 pm »

I have an used Ipaq 3950, that comes with a targus stowaway keyboard, wich works with the included distro familiar 0.8.2. But when I flashed with 0.8.4 not any more.
I looked for:
stowaway-modules for 2.4.19 kernel
stowaway-3600
in http://ftp.handhelds.org/distributions/fam...es/v0.8.4/feed/

I found a mix of ipk's of another distros that I tried:
http://ftp.handhelds.org/packages/stowaway...600_1.0_arm.ipk

I've followed the steps in http://www.tkn.tu-berlin.de/research/momba...MOMBASA_ON_IPAQ but nothing works

last test I do:
modprobe h3600-stowaway
stowd

give me this error:
Unable to open /dev/ttySA0: no such file or directory

Since I see /dev/tty0 to tty5 I assume that something must be changed somewhere in the configuration, but im LOST

Can anybody guide me to found proper pkg's or a howto?
Thanks in advance

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / collie and kernel from 3.5.3 upgrades

Uf, still experimenting with roms!

1- flash 3.5.2, ALL ok BUT no windows sync soft works (original cd or last intellisync from 3.13). So I get KA/PI KO/PI with PI-Sync, its a little troublesome to get it working but it finally runs fine, just it gets much memory and takes a big loadtime. Is there an intelliSync/Qtopia soft that works with 3.5.2 ?

2- flash Hentges rom, and again the suspend problem, but not so frecuently, and now the clock don't reset, but keeps the time where it freezes. I just don't understand. Is there a procedure or configuration to avoid the problem? (its just software I presume).

Arrgh I like more the opie PIM than KO/PI  

Salute la barra!

Well, but what I don't understand is what is the difference between a sucessfull flashing and a failure? If the system not only boots, but take a series of steps before freezing, I necessarily reach to the conclusion that the flashing was fine (hey may be I'm wrong hehe) and the problem is other: I don't know, may be a specific incompatibility between the zImage (wich is the component that change) and some sort of specific hardware combination (what a hell, may be which works fine have US chips and the wrong have taiwanese chip, for to say something).

I say this because I flashed this series (all with 32-32 memory usage):

OZ 3.5.3 with 20050407 zImage (OK)
OZ 3.5.3 with bad version check zImage (2 times FAIL)
OZ 3.5.3 with 20050407 zImage (OK)
OZ 3.5.3 with last zImage (4 times FAIL)
OZ 3.5.3 with 20050407 zImage (OK)
SHARP 3.13 (OK)
OZ 3.5.3 with last zImage (2 times FAIL)
SHARP 3.13 (OK)

All times, except the first 2, with a clean CF that only have the files to be flashed.

This drives me to conclude that the problem is in the zImage and/or hardware combination and not in the flashing procedure

Well, I give up.

I downloaded the opie-collie and the upgraded zImage from another machine with a diferent ISP (just in case...).

I flash It twice and get the same result: freezing in 'configuring update'. I assumed that after 20 minutes of 'configuring update' the machine is effectively hanged (don't tell me that showld wait more, sigh!).

Oh, the hard is a SL5500

Well, now Im a happy (?!) user of a crapy Sharp ROM 3.13

Is there another alternative to that rom?

(of course I'm lurking the openzaurus files hoping there will be another upgrade to flash arrrgggggghhh)

er um...
I do the upgrade and the boot keeps in 'Configuring update modules' for more than 10 minutes, so i concluded that it freezed, so I repited the flash procedure and it freezed again.

I have a zaurus sl5500

Using this files to flash:
opie-image-collie-20050407173817.rootfs.jffs2
zImage-collie-32-32-r21.bin
of course, after renamig it to initrd.bin and zImage
