Dou you have a running rootcmd server? If not, then the cru command won't work.

What happens when you type in "cru cardctl status" ?

The problem is how do i turn on the GPS CF alone without using qpeGPS?

Are you running "cardctl resume" within Qtopia before you start gpsdrive in Debian? That should be all that you need to do. You can just put the command in your gpsdrive startup script if you've created a separate icon to start gpsdrive under Qtopia.

I told you to run "carctl enable" in an earlier post - that was incorrect, it should be "cardctl resume".

because my startup script is under Debian instead of Qtopia
so i tried "cru cardctl resume"
it doesn't seem to work for me
the LED is flashing
and "cat /dev/ttyS3" gives no data


do you know how they turn on the GPS CF under qpeGPS?

okay
now i think where the problem is

the LED of my GPS CF is not flashing, so i do a "cat /dev/ttyS3"
it gets nothing
because i haven't turn on the GPS CF yet

so i need to use qpeGPS to turn on the GPS CF

and i turn on my Gpsdrive

and then "start gpsd" with no serial comm.  

then it will runs

the problem is how do i turn on the GPS CF alone without using qpeGPS?

everytime i run Gpsdrive, i need to run qpeGPS first to turn on my GPS CF

is there any way to do it?

i never able to get my Debian communicate with my GPS

when i start up Gpsdrive
it can't get any info for my GPS card

so i do a

Code: [Select]
cat: /dev/ttys3: Input/output error
i don't know why this happen
but qpeGPS was working fine and if i do a "cat /dev/ttyS3" under Qtopia , it works fine
except on Debian

is there any config i need to make for this CF card?

So, when is OpenZaurus going to stop adding new kernels and featurs and make an operating system that actually works?

As soon as you stop complaining and fix the bugs...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=91918\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

My point was not that there are bugs - all programs have bugs - but that the number of bugs has increased over the past two years.  This is the opposite to every other free software program I have used.  What would be the point of me fixing some bugs in the current release if the next release just adds a whole bunch more?

Some projects avoid this problem by having stable and unstable branches.  The gung-ho developers add features to the unstable branch, while the old hands fix the bugs and make stable releases for the public.  Now, maybe OpenZaurus doesn't have enough developers to maintain two branches, but in that case there should be one branch - stable - and a new feature shouldnt be allowed into it if it causes major system instability.

I mean, two years work and this project is less usable than it was before.  If you use a metric like  lines of code or new features added then maybe there has been much progress, but if you use a metric like usability or number of non-dev users then there has been *negative* progress.

so according to you
they should discontinue the OpenZaurus project
okay... then so what?
you don't need to use it
no one force you to use it

if you don't like it
leave it, ignore it

SD card recognization depends on the OS (driver problem)
which ROM you're using?

how do i solve this problem by giving "zaurus" access of "root"?

A quick "chmod 666 /dev/dsp" should fix it. You may need to do the same with /dev/audio as well.


I normally use gpsfetchmap.pl and it works fine for me with negative numbers.  There's many arguments you can use with it - what exactly are you typing in and what output are you seeing? I know that the following  works for me :-

# su - zaurus
$ gpsfetchmap.pl --start-lat 53.9 --end-lat 54.1 --start-lon -2.9 --end-lon -2.6 -sc 10000 -p

oh
i found that there's a bug in the gpsfetchmap.pl script

so i have to manually tell it to get the North America maps in order to work
thanks anyways
