Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Pxa255 Kernel + Wi-fi Cf

« on: May 12, 2005, 01:38:03 pm »

Hey, it would also be useful if we could come to some conclusions beside hacking something together that works... so what did you do to make it work? Is it a rebuild of the modules?

I did a full opie-image build of the openembedded tree with the kernel parameters tweaked to remove the cache workaround. Other than that, everything should be the same as what you'd get from openzaurus.org.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Pxa255 Kernel + Wi-fi Cf

I have a pxa 255 NAND made with OZ 3.5.1 I think, only had to use it two days ago to wake up my Z after a bad flash!

It is RARed down to approx 20 meg, do you have somewhere I can upload it to ?

Ack! Now I need a really big favor from one of you guys with a pxa255 and an sl5600. I was upgrading my image when the power went out and now my zaurus is bricked! I need a nand flash backup file. To make one, insert a fat-formatted cf card larger than 64M, press the d+p+hard reset buttons to get into the diag menus, go to the 4th menu by pushing right on the keypad 3 times, then hit the 'w' key.

I would really, really appreciate it if anyone can help me out with this.

I was trying to flash with my latest version of openembedded and the thing is completely hosed. The lights just sit there and blink at me. I can get into the diag menus (d+p+reset) and that's about it!

Can someone out there with a pxa 255 go to the 4th diag menu and export an image to their cf card and let me know a way to get it. If not, I might as well throw this thing uot the window.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Benchmark Numbers...

« on: May 10, 2005, 04:32:05 pm »

Here's mine running on an sl-5600 with OZ 3.5.3 and a custom compiled kernel:

1. Integer Arithmetic -> 555093 dhrys
2. Floating Point Unit -> 2.30 secs
3. Text Rendering -> 399 chars/sec
4. Gfx Rendering -> 3485.92 gops/sec
5. RAM Performance -> 45.16 MB/s; 6.35 MB/s
6. SD Card Performance -> 20.78 MB/s; 956.48 MB/s
7. CF Card Performance -> 28.41 MB/s; 35.35 MB/s

I have both the special kernel and wifi (linksys WCF11) working on an sl-5600. Konqueror runs very fast indeed.

http://tekgnome.com:70/feed/zImage-poodle-20050420150825.bin

http://tekgnome.com:70/feed/opie-image-poo...ootfs.jffs2.bin

It works on my poodle with a 'PXA250' using my SMC2642W. I have inserted and ejected the CF-card and the wireless-card without any problems... and used both just enough to test.

Integer Arithmetic: 553863 dhrys
Floating Point Unit: 2.36 sec

I should note that I used both the kernel and opie-image supplied by azurensis.

Thanks

I'm not so sure that running that kernel on a PXA250 is such a good idea since the workaround that is disabled in it was specifically for that processor. You might get some strange results eventually.

Hey, if it's working, enjoy!

If you just want the kernel modules you need instead of downloading the whole opie-image, they can also be found at:

Hi!
I would like to know if there is anyone with the special kernel for the SL-5600 PXA2PXA255 that works with Wi-Fi.
The thing is, the kernel is very fast, but the wi-fi cards are not detected.
I don't think that there is anybody with the special kernel and Wi-Fi (CF) working.
Thanks

That kernel image actually has both the pxa255 workaround disabled and the Fast Floating Point Emulator compiled in instead of the NWFPE. Here are its stats:

Integer Arithmetic: 555556 dhrys
Floating Point Unit: 2.30 sec
Text Rendering: 392 chars/sec
Gfx Rendering: 3459.25 gops/sec

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Possible New Zaurus Kernel For Oe

« on: April 25, 2005, 01:04:54 pm »

It means that the 2.4 kernel for collie will stagnate, since no one is doing any work on that. It also means that 2.6 for collie will sooner or later be available and then you can choose whether to stick with 2.4 and SD or with 2.6 without SD.
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

There was a guy (or gal) who posted on this forum awhile back that (s)he disassembled and then reverse-engineered sharp's sd_mmc driver for Collie. (S)he also claimed that (s)he rewrote most of the code in C and change a few things along the way to make in faster. I don't know the name of the person, but you can try to find his/her old posts on this board. Here's a link to compiled driver developed by this person:

"3. SD Support

Ian Molton seems to have added SD support to handhelds.org's kernel. I'm
still trying to contact him to discuss this but the following patch enables
SD cards to work for me:
http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/2.6.11-rc1/mmc_sd-r1.patch

Was there a reason why SD support wasn't included in the original driver?
Would something like this patch be accepted into the kernel (I realise it
has some rough edges). I'd probably remove the attempt at 4 bit support
until a mainstream driver supported that..."
