New Pdaxrom Release R198

[Sam Hell]

i have some problems myself with the new release, as for my both 1GB Hama CF-Cards canceled working.

i reinstalled through uboot two time, but i still cant access the CF-Cards.

One of them i freshly formatted with Fat16.

Is there a command to mount them manually ?


And i would like the commands for formating Memorycardds with ext2 on the Z, for
both the card and the cf please
I had written them down, but i forget where  

i just know it was something with "etx2mf..."...

Mounting should be something like
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/cf
(on my zaurus it's /dev/hdc1, but I have a C3100)

Formatting :
# umount /mnt/cf
# mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda1
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/cf

Good luck,
Chero.

Here's a fix permanent fix for the non-mounting problem.  It's in the first page of this thread from ZDevil:

Code: [Select]

II. Fix the card mounting issue (thanks to louigi600 for providing this)
You will notice that upon reboot after flashing, both SD and CF are not mounted.
To fix this, edit /etc/fstab. Use your favorite editor to do so.
Open the file, in the lines for /dev/hda1 (for CF) and /dev/mmcblk0p1 (for SD), change
CODE
noauto,owner

to
CODE
owner

Save the file, exit the editor.
Then the cards will be mounted automatically.
I think you need to reboot before this works.

ok, automount seems to be another problem i didnt even noticed

i get the mount working, but the CF-Cards seem to be empty under pdaxrom, what they are not. Maybe a driver problem or such *sigh*

For now, i go back to beta3, i need a working system today

Thx anyway

I am really hoping to get some networking going so I can help with debugging r198 on the C3100.

Unfortunately, it looks like the drivers are not working for my wifi card.
In dmesg, I get:
spectrum_cs: Cannot find firmware: symbol_sp24t_prim_fw
It's a socket revK low power wifi card which works well in beta3

So, I gave my ppp over bluetooth connection a shot.
Looks like the driver loads and the bluetooth card gets attached properly:
1.0: ttyS0 at I/O 0xc48403f8 (irq = 137) is a 16C950/954

but when I try using the ppp preferences, the search button doesn't work, it says "Can't get DUN info".  I have tried changing the setting from rfcomm0 to ttyS0 and my phone is definately discoverable.
Is there a way to set up the bluetooth pairing manually or am I doing something else wrong?

I feel like I may have jumped in a bit too deep but I am hoping that if I can get at least one of these going I can give it a go... I'd really appreciate a little help!

Just not to be too negative though:
- it's definately faster (even without icewm so far!)
- seems stable and robust
- supports screen reorientation
- suspend is OK and faster than beta 3, even with xmms playing (with ALSA)

Thanks, Capn_Fish.

One more question,,,maybe this is of interest to others too.  After installing uboot and r198,  if I want to return to my beta3 setup can I just do a nand restore?  Or is it a one way ticket??  :-)

This requires three steps:
1. Do a NAND Flash Erase (in the DM menu);
2. Do a NAND Flash Restore with the original Sharp Rom image (also in the DM menu);
3. Then flash Beta3 as usual (using the "OK mode")

This probably can go to the FAQ in the new Documentation.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. But I am trying to go back to beta3. I can get into the DM menu fine. I did a nand flash erase no problem. But I don't have the original sharp rom. Would the Cacko rom do? or if someone can point me to the rom that would be great.

Cacko has worked for me in the past. HTH

I know the pdaXrom team does not recommend it but I went from the latest (R198) back to my NAND of pdaXii13 without any intermediary steps.

Antikx, you rebel!  You sure love to live dangerously.    

Between charging your Z with an iPaq adapter and flashing you Z with NANDs from other models; your "antics" could very well give [a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Dave_Osborne]Super Dave Osborne[/url] a heart attack!

I am having a problem getting bluetooth ppp going in r198.
It is a socket card and dmesg returns the following:

1.0: ttyS0 at I/O 0xc48403f8 (irq = 137) is a 16C950/954

but when I try to attach the card, I get

# hciattach -p ttyS0 bcsp 921600 flow
BSCP initialization timed out

any ideas what to try next? The card worked OK in beta3.
