Zaurus - pdaXrom / Beta 1 Installer Broke

« on: January 02, 2009, 01:27:19 pm »

FYI,

i just messed around installing various roms on my C860
then i wanted to go back to "stable"
and i think the katherin beta1 feed has a syntax error in the installer file
install was saying something about a unexpected } in the file.
luckily i had an old version on a backup disk.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Dumb Terminal Via Ttys0?

« on: April 26, 2006, 10:30:52 am »

is there any way to get a dumb terminal set-up on serial port ttyS0??
i have been reading all the serial posts about gps devices and such but
i still don't have a clue what may be wrong......
i have tried all the run levels thinking it may be pppd .....but running "setserial" reports no UART associated with /dev/ttyS0 at each runlevel

i noticed that there is a usb control app in pdaxrom, but in the current rom i'm using, (1.1.0beta1), it seems to kill the keyboard input, (is the app writen for external keyboard use?)
 i CAN bring up the pickboard
and type setserial in an aterm window, and setserial then reports a UART:16550A, Port: 0x0000, IRQ:14, but then it doesn't exit to a prompt and control-c does not kill the program....
i think i am just a little ignorant on how it is supposed to work, can anyone teach me?

i need to run minicom or something like it to talk to a piece of hardware like a router via a 9600baud,8,N,1 serial connection....

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Socket CF monitor mode

« on: November 13, 2004, 08:34:42 am »

was there a previous version of pdaxrom, ( i currently use rc5), that worked with kismet and the socket cf card?  
could i take the working drivers from a cacko rom and copy them into the pdaxrom? or is there a kernel difference?
( like just copy symbol.o,orinoco.o,hermes.o files)
i see in the builders resource the kernel patches but where could i find the kernel source? or is it a plain vanilla 2.4.18 kernel with the patches applied?
if i had to go that far i'd have a ton more questions

hey,
i can't seem to drop to the console in 3.3.5 on my 5500
if i use the shutdown app and select stop opie i get a kinda xdm login screen, then if i select "quit"
i get "login:" in a black bar on the left side of the sceen, at this point any typing does not echo on the
screen
is it broke or am i just doing something wrong? it used to work in 3.3.2..........
my /home, /root, and /opt directories are on SD...........
