Yes and no

openembedded ist useing another NAND  flash layout
and the openembedded kernel can not read u-boot parameters .
u need a special kernel and install images for openembedded gpe and opie images



    i can take a look if i find some running gpe/opie image with running kernel ..

someting like this for nand layout drivervs/mtd/nand/sharpsl.c ......
#define DEFAULT_NUM_PARTITIONS 5
static struct mtd_partition sharpsl_nand_default_partition_info[] = {
        {
        .name = "U-Boot",
        .offset = 0,
        .size = 256 * 1024,
        },
        {
        .name = "U-BootEnv",
        .offset = 256 * 1024,
        .size =  128 * 1024,
        },
        {
        .name = "Emergency",
        .offset = 384 * 1024,
        .size =5376 * 1024 ,
        },
        {
        .name = "Kernel",
        .offset = 5760 * 1024,
        .size = 1408 * 1024,
        },
        {
        .name = "JFFS2",
        .offset = 7168 * 1024 ,
        .size = 123904 * 1024 , // NICE BIG ROOTPART...
        },

Zaurus - pdaXrom / C3000 Completely Dead After Uboot Flash
« on: September 24, 2006, 07:36:31 am »

Hello.,
           after recieving some encouraging feedback on the pdaxrom blog, I tried to flash the new UBoot system on my C3000. Flashing went fine with NO errors, however the unit went dead after the reboot - can't even access the diagnostics menu, although I am not sure I am accessing it correctly....does anyone have any suggestions, or is the unit totally dead?
many thanks

did you from D+M menu a complete NAND erase ( screen 3/3 extra menu )
 do this and try again
( there may be problems if the nand inst clean )
after installing u-boot

repower the zaurus and
hold the front power button approx 8 sec
then there should the pdax emergency-linux
.... insert your pdaX-rootflashfilesystem in cf , wait some seconds , an type /media/cf/autoinstall.sh  /media/cf
( it may be named autoboot.sh  , i dont exactly remember )

then it should install pxaXrom.

i had also problems installing u-boot without doing  a nand erase from service menu
( i hope you have done  a backup from service menu ...)

General Discussion / Debian Etch / Kernel Z Support
« on: September 21, 2006, 07:53:39 am »
Quote
I would presume that ARM will be a supported architecture in this next stable Debian release but what are the chances of us seeing (almost) complete support for the clamshell (or otherwise) Zauri out-of-the-box , with optional GUI installer, in the ARM port?

I suppose this would depend upon Z support being in the mainline kernel source? Is it still not in yet- I don't know as I've not compiled Linux in some time. What is holding it back from being integrated?

Is anyone here running sid on a c3x00? How does it run compared to pdaXrom or OZ? What doesn't work (apart from video accel of course) or what was difficult in setting up if anything?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=140105\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]
 
i am running a compete debian testing  ( 2.9 gb )
include X support on my C-3200
( c-3000 only with microdrive )
i used a openembedded kernel ,  as flash-image ,  a mixed gpe-/opie image
with pda-xrom-uboot as bootloader , ( 123 mb on /dev/mtd5   )
on microdrive is an bootstrapped debian arm upgraded to testing
and as X-server works  naitive compiled xserver-fbdev from the oe distrib
( tslib,zaurusd some and other utils  are also naitive ) ( approx 12 hours compiletime  )
maybe i will create some debian packs for my addons ..

greeting

Viking


i am now working for debian-alsa-support-wm8750 and better tslib

C1000/3x00 Hardware / How To Identify Usb Host Cable?
« on: April 14, 2006, 11:35:41 am »

I would be very careful with doing this. In host mode, the Z is expected to provide power while in client mode, the host pc will provide power to the Z which it is not supposed to accept, because if it does, it fries  If you really can't find a host cable, then you are better off hacking a normal cable and connecting the magic pin. There is plenty of guides online with picture illustrations showing how this can be done. I would advise not to change the behaviour in the driver/software code since accidents may happen and you can accidentally switch mode or worst, misconfigured hotplug mechanism does it for you and suddenly, your Z is smoking.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=123125\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I said this with ATTENTION !!!!!

and mentioned that this will kill the zaurus.
( connectiong to an 6 Volts powered hup is also a bad thing )

but for detecting if an plugcable  is host or for  client use, its very easy to measure it
with an multimeter ....

C1000/3x00 Hardware / How To Identify Usb Host Cable?
« on: April 13, 2006, 11:02:58 am »
some technical note:
the mini usb connector uses 5 contacs
(
 the normal "bigger" connector uses 4 contacts
2 for power/ground
2 for signals
)

the mini usb connetor uses
2 for power
2 for signals
and one magic conntact
this conntact is not used on dump cable-changers
but on hostcabels its wired ( maybe with resistor) to ground ( i am not shure if its ground
 or power, but it is linked  with some outside connector )
so its possible for the usbdriver to check if there is an hostcable by asking the state of this magic pin.
if it is an hostcable the driver turns power on and start useing it as host.
if this magic pin has no connection then the driver uses client mode.

so its possible to use any adaptor-cable  by overrideing the driver function asking the state of the pin. ATTENTION !! this DESTROY your zaurus if you connect to an PC and switch in hostmode ....... ( i think .. i nerver tried it ... so my zaurus lives )

but you can also use some measure device and small needel s to check
if your adaptercable has wired ( mybe with resistor ) pins between 1-2 or 4-5
( depends how you are counting )

if it is wired you got an hostcable
if not its and dump changer ...

ih hope this helps

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.4 Rc Bug & Work-around List
« on: December 23, 2005, 08:20:58 am »
Anoter problem occured    
on boot i can mount my sd-card
i can write sync and read from it.
after a suspend/resume cycle
i can read directories that i had read from bevore i have done a suspend/resume cyle
( maybe the information is buffered in memory )
but if i try to open an unread directory/file or do a  write ro sync
the process stuck and i cannot kill him .
the only thing I can do is a reset.

any ideas ?

Did these problems occur before your kernel rebuild?
yes, but at that time i didn't focus on getting running apm. ( network connect was primary goal)


Is something (a script etc.) altering the values in /sys/class/backlight/corgi-bl/brightness and /sys/class/backlight/corgi-bl/power after resume, or is this the kernel forgetting?

no i dont think so ..

The scripts shouldn't be necessary as I think the kernel should remember what its settings were before the suspend.

hmm ..

You might want to talk to RP on irc about this.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.4 Rc Bug & Work-around List
« on: December 22, 2005, 10:37:48 am »
Hello
i tried out the 3.5.4 snaptshot  with 2,6 kernel on my akita c-1000
//edit: ( exactly opie-image-akita-20051209185141 )
very nice
 but i had problems getting my usb-pegasus-ethnet-adapter  to work
so i recompiled the .dev kernel ( 14+15rc2)
i had also a problem with the apm
after resume there was no backlight ( all seems working )
trying to tap the lightapplet on the dark, black screen an hiiting it will result
to an nice working zaurus.

a better solution is adding a new resume/suspendscript
/etc/apm/scripts.d/backlight

------------
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = suspend ] ; then

echo "1"  > /sys/class/backlight/corgi-bl/power
elif [ "$1" = resume ] ; then
echo "0"  > /sys/class/backlight/corgi-bl/power
echo "25"  > /sys/class/backlight/corgi-bl/brightness
fi

: exit 0
------------------------------
don't forget setting the symlinks in
/etc/apm/resume.d
/etc/apm/suspend.d
pointing to the backlight script


but i have no working sound (:-((

you had to patch the kernel

Beware ... this overirdes  the clean detection
change file : usb-ohci-pxa27x.c

static int __init pxa27x_ohci_init(void)

        int ret;
    /* USB Cable Connected ? */

        CKEN |=  CKEN10_USB;

a added support for the cf
and added orinoco .0.15 sources ( iwconfig eth0 monitor now works )  
but the apm-keybordfrezze problem is not solved  
you can download and try the result
at
http://eric-weiss.de/download/zImage ( c1000 2.4.20 openzauruskernel )
http://eric-weiss.de/download/modules-c1000.2.4.20.tgz modules ( with sd-card driver )
