Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Rename Binaries On Oz Miror Site

« on: December 09, 2005, 06:43:39 pm »

you need to choose one rootfs and rename it to initrd.bin

updater.sh is 'crypted' because sharp decided to use it like that.

thanks for your answer.
I've copied all file: initrd.bin, updater.sh and zImage.bin to my CF card root.
and i succeed to reboot and update my ROM.

BUT, i have had some errors. main seems to be on FAT.

first message i catched: FAT: logical size error sector 381
where comes from problem? my CF is bad format? ext2, FAT or other?

and, when install is finished, i can't turn off by button "on/off" on front side of my zaurus c1000?

i must go to menu and click on "suspend".

if i lauch a terminal, prompt ask for login akita and password? normal?

thanks,

tom.

Hi,

I've just bought a C1000.

I gone to hentes site to donwload
http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/mirror/www.op....5.4-RC/sl1000/

there are these files:
 bootstrap-image-akita-20051018215632.rootfs.img        21-Oct-2005 20:56  4.7M  
 gpe-image-akita-20051020214839.rootfs.img              21-Oct-2005 20:59   23M  
 opie-image-akita-20051020214839.rootfs.img             21-Oct-2005 21:02   20M  
 updater.sh.akita                                       21-Oct-2005 21:02  5.8K  
 zImage-akita-20051018215632.bin

i must rename
zImage-akita-20051018215632.bin to zImage.bin
and  updater.sh.akita to  updater.sh
but what for initrd.bin?
I need to rename opie-image-akita-20051020214839.rootfs.img to initrd.bin or not?
and another question?
Why updater.sh is not readable by a text editor? un-crypted?

tks,

tom.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Which One? Opie Or Oz

If you are good at following instructions, and you have a decent sized SD card (128+) I suggest trying the Hentges images of openzaurus with cardfs.  It's a good shortcut to a fully working system with minimal effort.  The cardfs script will install a lot of apps you will want at the time of flashing.  The latest release candidate includes konqueror, a few cool games, and things like opie-ftp.  It is the same Openzaurus release as you will find in the OZ feed, but the cardfs script gives you a running start when installing applications.

See http://hentges.net/misc/openzaurus/oz3.5.3-opie1.2.0.shtml and read the cardfs instructions before flashing your Z.

Hi,

I have a question.
I've just bought a zaurus C1000, with Qtopia on it.
I want to flash ROM to OPIE.
I download bin on previous quoted URL:
[a href=\"http://hentges.net/misc/openzaurus/oz3.5.3-opie1.2.0.shtml]http://hentges.net/misc/openzaurus/oz3.5.3-opie1.2.0.shtml[/url]
but if i read installation guide, we need zImage and initrd.bin but there is no updater.sh file to download. Where can I find It or how can i flash my C1000 with only zImage and initrd.bin copied on CF root.

thanks

tom.
