Zaurus - pdaXrom / Ir Keyboard Drivers - Alpha Release

« on: October 18, 2005, 04:05:45 pm »

I've just tried the palmOne Universal Wireless Keyboard (3169WW) with your drivers on my C860. None of the keys were functional at all. I tried all the stuff you suggested in the thread up to this point. When I load the driver with type test9600, I can see all the scancodes, so it appears that the driver is working fine but lacks mappings for this particular keyboard. Has anyone provided you with the codes for this keyboard yet? If not, I'd be glad to do it... it'd be neat to be able to use a "fullsize" keyboard.

Will this stuff work with pdaXrom?

Will this stuff work with a USB Bluetooth adaptor?

Thanks!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Usb Bluetooth / Ratoc Cfu-1

« on: June 20, 2005, 01:02:09 pm »

The humorum Ratoc CFU-1 driver has associated modules that ostensibly support, among other things, USB Bluetooth adaptors. I have an Orange Micro Blue2 adaptor I'd love to get working.

When I modprobe the bluetooth module and plug in the Blue2, dmesg says:

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 4
bluetooth.c: found interrupt in
bluetooth.c: found bulk out
bluetooth.c: found bulk in
bluetooth.c: USB Bluetooth converter detected
bluetooth.c: Bluetooth converter now attached to ttyUB0 (or usb/ttub/0 for devfs)
bluetooth.c: usb_bluetooth_probe - improper number of endpoints. Bluetooth driver not bound.
bluetooth.c: usb_bluetooth_probe - improper number of endpoints. Bluetooth driver not bound.
bluetooth.c: usb_bluetooth_probe - improper number of endpoints. Bluetooth driver not bound.
bluetooth.c: usb_bluetooth_probe - improper number of endpoints. Bluetooth driver not bound.
bluetooth.c: usb_bluetooth_probe - improper number of endpoints. Bluetooth driver not bound.
bluetooth.c: usb_bluetooth_probe - improper number of endpoints. Bluetooth driver not bound.
bluetooth.c: usb_bluetooth_probe - improper number of endpoints. Bluetooth driver not bound.

There is a device at /dev/usb/ttub/0; if I cat /dev/usb/ttub/0 I don't get the "no such file or directory" message, so it seems as if it is to some degree working.

I cannot figure out what to do next, though. I'd sure appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Bluetooth Over Aircable On Pdaxrom - How?

« on: June 20, 2005, 12:53:56 pm »

Have you gotten anywhere with this? I have an AirCable adaptor like yours, but have never been able to figure out how to use it, either...

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Software Request: Wavemon

« on: February 18, 2005, 04:18:58 pm »

I'm not sophisticated enough to know if it would be an issue with the Kistmet binary or with the wifi driver... but I do know that the Symbol card in question worked fantastically well with Kismet under OpenZaurus, so it cannot be a problem inherent to the card, the Zaurus, or Kismet.

Come to think of it, it probably is the driver, because it doesn't seem to be possible to set the transmission strength* of the card under pdaXrom, while it is under OpenZaurus.

Issues like these are making me increasingly inclined to switch ROMs.



* Yeah, I know, you wouldn't think that transmission strength would affect Kismet's ability to discover networks**, but it does. Maybe the setting does more than the name suggests.



** Or maybe you wouldn't think that. I would.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Software Request: Wavemon

« on: February 18, 2005, 01:35:29 pm »

If Kismet worked well on my hardware, I suppose so, but as I posted in another thread, the build of Kismet on the feeds doesn't work for me. My Symbol wifi card does well to detect the wifi network we've got at the office while standing right next to a WAP. (The Symbol card works well for actual wifi usage, however.)

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Software Request: Wavemon

« on: February 17, 2005, 01:42:38 pm »

I'm trying to get wavemon compiled for pdaXrom to aid in setting up a largish 802.11 network. I'm getting errors in the configure stage (see other thread, "C Compiler Cannot Create Executable"). Has anyone already compiled wavemon? Would anyone with a working development environment be willing to compile it?

Thanks!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / "c Compiler Cannot Create Executable"

« on: February 17, 2005, 10:55:33 am »

When cross-compiling (actually, when running the configure script), I sometimes get an error that says "C Compiler Cannot Create Executable". Does anyone else get this? What does it mean? How do I fix it?

Thanks!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Ratoc Cfu-1 Working!

« on: February 08, 2005, 03:58:16 pm »

Very nice to see someone trying to solve problems themselves ;-) He he just kidding..

I know you're kidding, but in all seriousness... I've spent a *lot* of time on this. In the end, it turned out to be relatively simple, but as a Linux newbie, it was all I could handle. Happily, the author of the drivers was cool enough to correspond with me and help troubleshoot the problem... otherwise, I'd still be struggling with it.

Nice one and Sash will try and implement as IPK for easier usag - hope its okay.

Please do! If I were a little more sophisticated, I'd do so myself.

Now - the big question - how can I get my USB mouse working with pdaXrom now that the USB host is working? I modprobed hid and created the /dev/input/mice node; now if I cat /dev/input/mice, I can see data on the console when I move the mouse or click the buttons. How can I get the window manager to use the mouse? I saw in another post (from long ago) that Sash said that the window manager (or at least tslib) would need to be recompiled for this to be possible. Is this still the case?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / cotrol cacko with usb mouse

« on: February 08, 2005, 11:25:40 am »

TinyX Xserver dont use XF86Config, for use USB mouse need XServer recompilation or write new module for tslib (for translate mouse pointer) at least.

Has anyone actually done this?

I have a USB mouse and (at last!) a working USB host. I've created /dev/input/mice and, by CATting to STDOUT, can see data coming in from the mouse.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Usb Mouse And Pdaxrom

« on: February 08, 2005, 11:05:11 am »

Now that I've had my CFU-1 USB Host working for about five minutes, I'm foaming at the mouth to get my little USB mouse working, too. Can anyone give me any ideas as to how to go about it?

Thanks!

General Discussion / Usb Mouse Support

« on: February 08, 2005, 11:03:50 am »

I've added some code to the InputHelper applet to allow you to use a USB mouse under Qtopia on the SL6000.
...
I expect that as it works with the C750 via the CF USB host card, it'll also work with other Zaurus models in the same way...

Can this be made to work with pdaXrom?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Ratoc Cfu-1 Working!

« on: February 08, 2005, 11:00:06 am »

After much fiddling around, my friend and I have gotten the Ratoc CFU-1 USB Host card working with RC8. (I assume this would work the same for RC9, but I've not tested it yet.) Here's how:

* Download and install usb-modules and cfu1-driver IPKs

Download Here

* Rebuild module dependencies

Code: [Select]

depmod -a
* Restart pcmcia subsystem

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart
* Add mknod entries to startup script; the way we did it is to add the lines below to the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script, just before the line "# set time"

Code: [Select]

mknod /dev/sda b 8 0
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
mknod /dev/sda2 b 8 2
mknod /dev/sda3 b 8 3
mknod /dev/sda4 b 8 4
mknod /dev/sdb b 8 16
mknod /dev/sdb1 b 8 17
mknod /dev/sdb2 b 8 18
mknod /dev/sdb3 b 8 19
mknod /dev/sdb4 b 8 20
mknod /dev/sdc b 8 32
mknod /dev/sdc1 b 8 33
mknod /dev/sdc2 b 8 34
mknod /dev/sdc3 b 8 35
mknod /dev/sdc4 b 8 36
* Symlink the usb script into the /etc/pcmcia directory so cardmgr can find it

Code: [Select]

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb /etc/pcmcia/usb
At this point, you should be able to plug the CFU-1 into your Zaurus and have it recognized and all relevant drivers loaded automagically. In order to mount a USB flash drive, you'll first need to load the usb-storage module:

Code: [Select]

modprobe usb-storage
Then you can make a mount point and mount the drive; for example:

Code: [Select]

mkdir /mnt/usbflash
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbflash
Huzzah!

Edit: I've just set this up with RC10 and it works!

Edit: Instructions altered ever-so-slightly to work with RC11.

Edit: Instructions work fine with RC12.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Kathrin Rc9 Out..

« on: January 31, 2005, 10:08:19 am »

So, when you say "Ratoc USB not implemented yet :-) - ipk update soon" - what's going on with that? There's been talk for a long, long time but it continues not to work. I've messed with it, had my Linux-guru friend mess with it, and even corresponded with the author of the driver... I can't get it working. You guys owe me nothing, obviously, but the Ratoc USB Host is the #1 thing holding me back from using my Zaurus like I planned to, and making me look wistfully at other ROMs. Please, I beg you, fix this!

I'm sorry, I should have stipulated "with a Ratoc CFU-1 USB Host card."

I have a C-860, CFU-1, mouse, keyboard, etc, but I've not yet gotten them to work.
