Announce: USB Storage package for SL 5500/5000 is available

[maslovsky]

After following a long thread about adding USB Storage support to SL-5500 devices and tracking down a few issues, I\'ve built a complete package, which adds such funcitonality.

The package is available at http://my-zaurus.narod.ru/usbstorage.html

It has been tested on Sharp 3.10 and 3.13. ROMs. It has not been tested with other ROMs and kernels, but it may work under compatible ROMs.

Also, do not install this package on SL-5600!

Thanks to nilch, lardman and rrusaw for working on this

What\'s the problem with the 5600?

This also won\'t work on OZ (the scripts won\'t work, but the GUI app ought to, I don\'t know about the hotplug scripts). If I have time I\'ll do a mod this evening (but more likely it\'ll be at the weekend).

Anton, what\'s the problem with using this on the 5600?

Cheers for packaging it all up,

Ah I see you\'ve altered sa1100_bi too. Fair enough does this make it more stable for you? I\'m still running with my original sa1100_bi and don\'t have any issues (other than needing to suspend after insmoding). I\'d guess that as long as they remove any references to sa1100_bi they should be okay. I\'ll also have a look at this later on.

The package includes 5500-specific USB module (sa1100_bi), which will not work on 5600.  I don;t have a 5600 device to test, but sources are available on my site - so anyone willing to port this to 5600 are wellcome.

The modifications should be trivial - remove sa1100_bi module from disctro and update hotplug scripts and application to reference pxa_bi modules instead.

Yes, I added the one line patch mentioned in the other thread. That;s the only way it works for me.

Simon, feel free to update the package to support OZ and/or 5600. I don\'t have enough time for that, sorry...

Updated link to the sudo package

[lardman]

When I\'ve got some time (probably at the weekend) I\'ll do the update (and test) for OZ and I\'ll alter the package for the 5600. For those with a 5600 who can\'t wait, you should be okay to use the same storage_fd.o module and you also shouldn\'t need any changes to your pxa_bi module. You will have to alter the hotplug scripts (and the package if you want to use ipkg to install) by hand until I can modify it.

For some more info about testing on the 5600 (and some quick and dirty scripts to get it working) look at this thread: http://www.zaurususergroup.com/index.php?n...iewtopic&t=1996 (Make sure you read it all the way through as my initial scripts had a couple of typos).

It seems there is a bug with it. I can\'t close the application when click on x just near the OK button?

Could be. Just click OK instead

First off, let me just send out a big \"Thank you\" to maslovsky and the others for creating this and making it available.  Secondly, I just wanted to let everyone know that I\'m running it on a 5500 w/ tkcROM 2.0 alpha 3 and I\'ve had no problems so far using it w/ my WinXP laptop.  Haven\'t tried attaching it to my RH9 Linux box at home yet; when I do, I\'ll let y\'all know how it goes.  

Thanks again, gang!

Just out of curiosity -- what does this do?  (I installed it last night finding it on yuor site just by coincidence) but i don\'t really know what it does... any help?

Thanks maslovsky, you are the man, now then I know what is my craddle use for.

BTW, I really can\'t think of any point to install this package.
 https://www.oesf.org/downl...udo_0.1_arm.ipk
Just look at the sudo control file \'/home/etc/sudoers\'

zaurus    ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

is the same of giving user \'zaurus\' to superuser power, and by installing this package, you are at security risk.

So, my point is, if you use your zaurus as PDA and you also needs to install this package.
It is best to switch the default user to root that just like TKC rom, sharprom 2.x etc.

What you need is edit this file \'/home/QtPalmtop/qpe.sh\', change this line \'export QPEUSER=zaurus\' to \'export QPEUSER=root\' and reboot.
This is what my current zaurus 5500 running and so far, has not encounter any problem.

Once again, thanks for the hardwork.

Is there something like this for a C750?

[lardman]

I\'ll probably do a package for the 5600/C750/C760 all in one.

In fact I\'m just trying to work out how to make an ipk of it all......
