| 07:00:43 | mb | hi * |
| 07:02:21 | mb | q: can i minicom to my ipaq (usb-cradle) with usbserial and ipaq module ? |
| 07:04:40 | debugger | my bootldr 2.18.48 is causing hard-reset when I do soft reset :( |
| 07:05:37 | debugger | when I use pocketpc, as restoring backup requires a soft reset (linux is on CF card) |
| 07:08:31 | Indi- | mb; prolly, if you can figure out how to make the ipaq tell the PC its a serial port via USB |
| 07:09:12 | Indi- | dunno why ud want to |
| 07:09:29 | Indi- | USB ethernet and ssh/ftp/everything else is much nicer |
| 07:09:44 | mb | Indi- : i'm going to flash my ipaq |
| 07:10:05 | Indi- | the bootloader (which does the flashing) is very basic |
| 07:10:18 | Indi- | i dont think it knows about the USB port at all |
| 07:10:22 | Indi- | hence the need for a serial link |
| 07:10:29 | mb | uhm :P |
| 07:11:13 | Indi- | if you really wanna do it ur way go and buy a USB serial port converter then plug the ipaq serial cradle plug into that |
| 07:11:13 | Indi- | :) |
| 07:11:26 | Indi- | dont think ur gunna get away with it any other way |
| 07:12:07 | mb | a serial cable costs about 25 EUR.. |
| 07:12:39 | mb | can i start wince after i installed the new bootoader ? |
| 07:12:44 | mb | +l |
| 07:13:07 | debugger | my bootldr 2.18.48 is causing hard-reset when I do soft reset for wince :( |
| 07:13:42 | Indi- | my ipaq (3850) booted CE fine after bootloader installation |
| 07:13:54 | mb | k, thx |
| 07:14:03 | Indi- | not that ud ever want to boot CE again after using linux on it |
| 07:14:04 | Indi- | :) |
| 07:14:12 | debugger | version? |
| 07:14:19 | mb | hehe |
| 07:14:22 | mb | right |
| 07:14:45 | Indi- | err |
| 07:14:49 | Indi- | sec |
| 07:15:08 | debugger | my pc has one serial port and i am using an external modem so no way to get ipkgs untill i get usbnet working :( |
| 07:15:09 | Indi- | 2.18.01 |
| 07:15:26 | debugger | does that one do boot vfat? |
| 07:15:29 | Indi- | damn thing fails to resume occasionally |
| 07:15:38 | debugger | i guess not :( |
| 07:15:46 | Indi- | boot vfat ? |
| 07:15:47 | Indi- | no idea |
| 07:15:57 | debugger | my linux is on 128 mb kingston CF card |
| 07:16:04 | debugger | i dual boot |
| 07:19:45 | debugger | i am going to test 2.19.x first on h3100 before frying my h3700 |
| 07:22:46 | debugger | WORKS :))))) |
| 07:23:30 | Indi- | sweet |
| 07:23:54 | debugger | but honestly i have no idea whats new with 2.19.29 ;) |
| 07:51:14 | mb | Indi- : ur right.. the bootload does not know anything about usb :P |
| 07:51:27 | mb | USB device not accepting new address=3 (error=-110) |
| 14:02:16 | CraHan | hi |
| 14:02:59 | CraHan | since the ipaq 3850 has 32mb rom, will flashing it using with the familiar image take up the whole flash? |
| 14:03:07 | CraHan | or only the size of the images? |
| 14:03:40 | CraHan | cause i've read that there's a small partition that contains vital info for pocket pc |
| 14:03:48 | CraHan | in case one would like to restore it |
| 14:03:54 | Indi- | afaik it only takes up ~6mb |
| 14:03:57 | Indi- | which pisses me off |
| 14:04:03 | CraHan | oh |
| 14:04:10 | Indi- | the asset partition is preserved |
| 14:04:10 | CraHan | so the partition would be 6mb? |
| 14:04:17 | Indi- | and you back everything up during install anyway |
| 14:04:24 | CraHan | yeah, i'd like to keep that asset partition where it is :) |
| 14:04:46 | Indi- | i want them to have an (optional) bigger base distro |
| 14:04:51 | CraHan | so the asset partition gets backed up too during install? |
| 14:04:58 | Indi- | wasting ~24mb of ROM as is |
| 14:05:03 | CraHan | darn |
| 14:05:11 | CraHan | but on the 3600 i had before |
| 14:05:16 | CraHan | it took up the full 16meg |
| 14:05:20 | CraHan | had 6 fere |
| 14:05:21 | CraHan | free |
| 14:05:29 | CraHan | but the partition itself was the full 16meg |
| 14:05:51 | Indi- | mm |
| 14:06:00 | Indi- | im not clear on the details of jffs2 |
| 14:06:12 | Indi- | -rw-r--r-- 1 br users 262144 Sep 22 19:43 saved_bootldr.bin |
| 14:06:13 | Indi- | -rw-r--r-- 1 br users 54571 Sep 22 19:43 saved_bootldr.gz |
| 14:06:13 | Indi- | -rw-r--r-- 1 br users 13927408 Sep 22 19:42 wince_image.gz |
| 14:06:23 | Indi- | there the files i was left with as backups after install |
| 14:06:28 | Indi- | no asset partition |
| 14:06:33 | CraHan | ah |
| 14:06:39 | CraHan | guess it isn't touched |
| 14:06:55 | CraHan | or, it's contained in the wince_image file |
| 14:06:57 | Indi- | theres a howto linked off www.handhelds.org |
| 14:07:00 | CraHan | ok |
| 14:07:04 | CraHan | lemme take a look at that then |
| 14:07:06 | Indi- | i believe its just left alone |
| 14:07:09 | CraHan | thanks |
| 14:07:15 | Indi- | np |
