Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxii13 On Nand

I'm pretty sure the kernel is in tools.tar, actually.

OK, np - I put tools.tar on my sd card too, so it's worked successfully.

Try here:
Pdaxii13 build files
The link you quoted  was broken from 5.4.7 onwards.... not sure why.... but have fun with 5.4.8..... Note: I would guess that tarball doesn't upgrade the kernel which you might want to do to get the new sound stuff - it makes a HUGE difference to the sound quality (thanks eviLjazz!)

Hi

I can get the initrd.bin for 5.4.8 from here:
[a href=\"http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/akita/]http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/akita/[/url]

...which I guess will include the new kernel (which I've been using successfully on 5.4.7)

build 5.4.8 is available for testing.
this release comes with an updated kernel (still 2.4.20 but with extra features)
the sound should be better, battery monitoring should be better, and hostap support is improved, ie some wifi cards that previously were created as eth0 will now be wlan0 and scanning should work so wifi radar should work nicely now. in order to get wpa working, you need to install this package: hostap_driver_0.4.7_3_armv5tel.ipk

Hi Meanie, do  you have the upgrade file (pdaXii13-custom.tgz) available so I can upgrade from 5.4.7 to 5.4.8?

The link at:

[a href=\"http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/tmp/]http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/tmp/[/url]

for pdaXii13-custom.tgz doesn't actually link to the file (if it exists).

Cheers,

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad it works for you, zedkatuf2.
Alright, back to porting my Quasar Media Player to pdaXrom...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=165476\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

...the mixer makes a huge difference when listening to music, so thanks again.  Quasar media player looks fantastic - looking forward to trying that out once ported

For Sale / Wanted / [sold] Zaurus Sl-c3100 With Accessories

Hello folks,

I'm selling a like-new Zaurus SL-C3100 with a lot of accessories.
I almost never used it, it was my "backup" device (I mainly use my C3200). I rarely use it, so I'm now selling it - but still keep my Zaurus   
Bids are starting from 250 Euros: Zaurus SL-C3100 with accessories
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=165522\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]


Hi I notice that you also have a Planex GW-CF54G CF on Ebay - did this work with your Zaurus or not?

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Interesting Problem With Ambicom Wl1100c
« on: July 26, 2007, 05:08:17 am »
I have a similar issue with my Ambicom card (I have had this problem since day one).

My primary & secondary firmware are also 1.1.1 & 1.8.0

...I wonder if we all bought our cards from Taiwan/Ebay ?!

...anyway, now that I've found my CF to PCMCIA adapter, I was considering trying to upgrade the firmware at some point....what's putting me off is overcoming the ambiguities in the firmware-flashing instructions on the websites posted elsewhere on oesf.....it's not that they're particularly bad, it's more that I don't seem to read the instructions at the right time of day (too knackered/kids asking questions/baby crying etc  )

Your links are okay.
For updating the kernel you just need zImage and updater.sh.
Modules are optional. There are some drivers included in the module archive which are not included in pdaXrom or pdaXii13.
The kernel config is just there to make things more transparent in case you want to recompile the kernel yourself from either the sources I provided or my current SVN.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=165372\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

OK, tnx.  I've reflashed & can confirm that it works great under pdaxii13.  It's so nice having the bas/treble & 3d surround option - and it makes a massive difference - many thanks again for all your time spent on this!

Okay, that took a bit longer than expected. Sorry about that.

So here it is:

Mixer sourcecode and binaries for Sharp ROM/Cacko and pdaXrom/pdaXii13:
http://www.katastrophos.net/zaurus/sources/wm8750mixer

Pre-compiled kernel images that include the modified WM8750 driver code:
http://www.katastrophos.net/zaurus/kernels/v55

In my kernel branch the official pdaXrom kernel patches that are included with the pdaXrom builder have been merged with the Cacko patches. There weren't many differences sourcecode-wise. Most of it comes down to just a few kernel configuration differences, which are handled by the build system included in the sourcecode snapshot. I'm going to submit the changes to the pdaXrom team. However, I'm not sure if they are still interested in the old, albeit stable kernel 2.4.20.

I've tested the pdaXrom kernel extensively on my C3200 for the last 3 days. It's working without any problems.
Please post your results for the other models! Thanks.

Hi - just want to confirm that I should use the following to get the mixer working on pdaxii13:


[a href=\"http://tinyurl.com/35oyyo]http://tinyurl.com/35oyyo[/url] - mixer app
http://tinyurl.com/2o7aql  - zImage kernel for pdaxrom (fastfpe)
http://tinyurl.com/2u2kt7 - kernel config
http://tinyurl.com/39mdud - pdaxrom kernel modules
http://tinyurl.com/2ncw3z - updater.sh

....slap on vfat sd/CF & reflash kernel as per normal?

(I've put the above as tinyurl's so you can see them, as the oesf BB sometimes abbreviates long urls).

Alright, I installed pdaXii13 at last. It's quite nice actually. WPA is a nightmare to set up, though.
Anyway, attached is a screenshot of the mixer app running in X11 and Qt3.
I'll probably release the ipkg and kernels sometime today or tomorrow.

Wow! Many thanks for spending the time on this...looking forward to trying it out!

C1000/3x00 Hardware / White Screen On C1000 (fixed)
« on: July 21, 2007, 02:03:07 pm »

I used to get slow fades to white screens on my 1000 and 3200s either after resuming or playing around in Kino2 when I was running Cacko.  Like you a reset would clear up the problem.  I don't think it is related to the ribbon cable because I have not run into the problem in various pdaX, OZ and Angstrom builds I have run since then.  I tried the hinge screw tightening on both units but the screw were still tight.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=165233\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I get the slow fade to white when I use my ambicom1100C wlan card; interestingly, the same card freezes my laptop when I type iwconfig...in my case, maybe  the card's firmware version (1.80) is causing the problem....or it could even be a hardware fault with the card.

wouldn' the thing to do be to patch the existing pdax kernel and then build as usual (not that I7ve done any such thing in pdaX, but itt seems more logical)
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=165082\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

...yes, definitely - no time to do it though   [if anyone wants to try, it'd be nice to get working on pdaxii13  )

OK, I might try & compile the app....also thinking of 'risking' installation of the fastFPE-uncachedfb kernel
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=165070\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]


....pdaxii13 complains about not being able to find ide_cs kernel module on bootup & then X11 freezes, so I've reflashed back to the 5.4.7 kernel for now; maybe someone who has more time  can look into this - perhaps, for example, I should've used fastFPE-cachedfb


...haven't got the time to fiddle more for now, but am def interested to see if this the mixer can be gotten to work under pdaxii13, as it looks like a fantastic improvement.

Here are my lousy FPE benchmarks:
http://www.katastrophos.net/zaurus/kernels.../FPE-Benchmark/

The new FastFPE code is a lot better than the old code that comes included with the stock kernel sources. It's the default FPE for Tetsu's kernel now. The Cacko kernels comes with NWFPE enabled.
My subjective feeling is that FastFPE accelerates Opera A LOT.

As for the mixer application, it's plain Qt 2. I bet Qt 2 / 3 is included in pdaXrom. It should be fairly easy to compile once you have the dev environment set up.
I can't sacrifice my Zaurus right now and install pdaXrom since I need a working setup tomorrow. Perhaps at the weekend, can't promise...

cacko doesn't use X11. cacko is based on qtopia.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=165061\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]


OK, so this means that the actual mixer application won't work on pdaxii13 I guess

...Am I correct in thinking that the actual compiled mixer application only works in an opie/QT-type environment, or does cacko use X11 like pdaxii13 (I'm using pdaxii13)?

[Sorry for being ignorant - I guess I should know the answer to my question!!]
