08:17.01rob_wmorning
08:29.42algei'm still struggling with 2.6.16 ...
08:30.10rob_wstill not booting ?
08:30.15algenow i got the tagged cvs trees (hh4 and hh5 from handhelds.org),
08:30.24algeyour patch applies ok
08:30.27algeit compiles
08:30.30rob_wok
08:30.38algebut now i dont see anything
08:30.41rob_wi am fighting with a newer oe today
08:30.47algethe haret logo fills up
08:30.49algeand stays
08:31.28algecan i ask you to send me your zimage, just to see it working one time :-)
08:31.29rob_wok that could a compiler issue .. i had this also then compiled the same stuff outside oe with gcc 3.4.4 and it worked
08:31.39rob_wsure hang on
08:32.18algeok, i'll check my cross gcc version
08:33.01algealge@xi:~/ba$ ./tmp/cross/arm-linux/bin/gcc --version
08:33.01algegcc (GCC) 3.4.4
08:33.36rob_wyeah i also had this try , but it was not working .. couldnt figure out what oe does to not work
08:33.46algeanother question: i alos applied the ts2200*diffs, ok?
08:33.50rob_wbut also sometimes haret fucks up and u just dont see something
08:34.00rob_wyeah .. ok
08:34.14algeis this the same haret as with the 2.6.12 image?
08:34.21rob_wthose basicly move the tsc2200 into some better location
08:34.32rob_wthere is a newer one
08:34.45algei have
08:34.47algealge@xi:~/ba$ md5sum /backup/usbdisk/linux/haret.exe
08:34.47alge016d4e9e61409602a3a1da245d0096a8  /backup/usbdisk/linux/haret.exe
08:35.22rob_wmd5sum gpe0108/haret.exe
08:35.22rob_w61934fe1ea18ed56c82bcc11955dd311  gpe0108/haret.exe
08:35.59algewere can i find this one? or is it now the standard one without ba souns enabling?
08:36.00rob_wnow check my gnulinux.biz dir .. i uploaded the haret and zImage
08:36.05algethanks
08:36.27rob_woh , right this one might not do the sound trick
08:37.25rob_whmm oe now builds diet-x11-X11R7.1-1.0.1-r0   i hope this is NOT X11
08:39.44algewith current oe, I had to change some bb files to compile, opie related: opie-bluepin, opie-qcop, opie-rdesktop and opie-alarm/ need EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_POST += "LIBS+=-lstdc++"
08:40.54rob_ware you a opie developer ?
08:41.19algeno, i just want to try both gpe and opie, after my kernel boots :-)
08:42.05rob_wi see
08:43.42algethere where some more changes necessary to build with oe, e.g esound does not create correct links to its libesd.so files, i had to create tmp/staging/arm-linux/lib/libesd.so -> libesd.so.0.2.28 and tmp/staging/arm-linux/lib/libesd.so.0 -> libesd.so.0.2.28 manually
08:45.20rob_wi bet opie is not so maintained currently then gpe
08:46.28algeesd was needed for gpe-image
08:46.41rob_woh
08:47.19algethe problem was that it creates a recursive symlink tmp/staging/arm-linux/lib/libesd.so.0.2.28 -> libesd.so.0.2.28
08:49.37algeanother thing that happend during gpe-image build was, that i had to symlink:
08:49.38algeln -sf /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket /home/users/alge/ba/tmp/staging/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
08:49.39rob_whmm now also my freetype still is broken
08:50.08rob_wtmp/staging/arm-linux/lib/libfree
08:50.09rob_wtype.so: undefined reference to `inflate'
08:50.22algeI dont remember that i had to fix this too, lets see ...
08:52.28rob_whmm freetype-2.2.1-r1 is still not build .. maybe it took a older version and therefore misses some functions
08:52.36algeit does not find its libz.so
08:52.51rob_wyeah this i solved 5 minutes ago
08:53.02algemaybe also add -lz ?
08:54.47algeat least this didnt happen here, i cannot remember a missing inflate ...
08:56.04rob_wso u say inflate is a libz function ?
08:56.50algeit sound like one :-)
08:57.08algeand my ubuntu libfreetype is also linked with libz
08:58.30algei686 linux:
08:58.30algeroot@phi[linux]# nm /usr/lib/libz.a | grep inflate
08:58.30alge...
08:58.30algeinflate.o:
08:58.31alge00000270 T inflate
09:00.19rob_whmm i rebuild zlib and libpng and pange still fails saying libpng misses inflate and some other functions

09:01.15rob_wdid my zimage boot ?
09:01.26algeis -lz in the linker options? and a correct -L...staging...
09:01.41algei m inserting the card ... now!
09:02.34algeit coul not reqad the startu.txt file, rewritung it ...
09:02.56rob_wnew haret wants a default.txt !!!
09:03.06algeoh thanks. ..
09:03.08rob_wstart haret and click on run
09:03.15rob_wand have that default.txt !!
09:04.46algemy default.txt now reads:
09:04.46algeset KERNEL "zImage-2.6.16-not-flicker"
09:04.46algeset MTYPE 766
09:04.47algeset CMDLINE "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 console=tty0 "
09:04.47algebootlinux
09:04.47algeok?
09:04.57rob_wyes
09:05.53alge... haret.exe:
09:06.05algeunknown keyword: bootlinux
09:08.16rob_wdamn all  libz and libpng show inflate inside .. yet pango fails
09:08.31rob_wah shit .. u need to have :
09:08.50rob_wboot2
09:09.00algeok
09:09.57rob_wtmp/staging/arm-linux/lib> nm libz.so | grep deflate
09:09.57rob_w00003ff0 T deflate
09:10.40algewow, it boots ... :-)
09:10.46rob_wyeah
09:11.14algebut i still want to be able to compile it myself ... ;-)
09:11.57rob_wsure
09:12.18alge... now it starts the calibration, but the touch screen does not work, of course, there are my nonworking kernel  modules in the rootfs
09:12.56algelets see if i cann ssh in via usb ...
09:13.56alge... no.
09:15.15alge... if to leave now, lets try again later
09:16.27alges/if/i have/
09:17.06rob_wok
09:17.17rob_wi use gcc-3.4.1 to compile the kernel
09:17.53rob_wi cant find where i downloaded that .. i will upload it to gnulinux.biz
09:19.28algecould you please also put your unpatched kernel tree, or at least the diff between original 2.6.16 tree and your unpatched trees there?
09:20.16rob_wwhich ,, the one i am working on ?
09:20.51algewhere you apply your patch (or better: generate your patch from)
09:21.19rob_wok  that will take ages to upload but  i will start right away
09:21.49algeyou need only to upload the diff between kernel.org 2.6.16 and yours ...
09:22.26rob_wok .. lemme see
09:22.36rob_wi hope i can have that quick ..
09:23.17algetanks, bye, i'll be back in some hours , so dont hurry

12:07.52aweluxthe biggest obstacle might be that you need an sd card which works under linux without additional tweaks.
12:08.06aweluxSomething like normal speed 1GB
12:08.15aweluxor a mmc card
12:08.40aweluxfaster or bigger cards don't run well so far.

14:33.27rob_whey maui
14:33.36mauihtc wizard development is starting: http://linwizard.sf.net ;)
14:34.26rob_wargh sf.net
14:35.35aweluxmaui, did you talk to silven ?
14:35.47mauii mailed him recently
14:35.55aweluxHe's done a lot of the existing wizard development.
14:35.58aweluxgood
14:36.16mauialso contacted ithamar, an arm kernel developer employed by tomtom bv ;)
14:36.33aweluxic
14:37.40aweluxthe project is good news. the wizard development really needs some coordination.
14:38.43mauiyep
14:40.04mauione question to those already running linux on their htc devices...is linux faster?
14:40.20mauii always think wm5 is somewhat fuzzy and slow
14:40.49rob_wmaui,  how would u compare wince with linux ?=?
14:41.38mauiyeah i mean comparing pim functions for example (wince and opie)
14:41.43mauior general boot time ;)
14:41.54rob_wmaui,  very odd to do !!
14:42.09rob_wdont argue with the speed but with the features !
14:42.23mauiok
15:02.10mauidoes someone know how to use losetup?
15:02.25mauii have to change my cc.ext2
15:05.45rob_wcc.ext2 ?

15:50.41mauicc.ext2 is the file containing the file system
15:50.45mauibusybox etc.
16:06.39aweluxIsn't it just losetup <loop device> <target device> ?
16:07.32aweluxthen you can just mount the loop device.
16:07.47aweluxBut it's easier to say just mount cc.ext /mnt -o loop
16:12.03mauithanks ;) it works now
16:55.47lilliputawelux, thx got a 512 mb one
16:56.41lilliputI also have a windows vmware image if needed to run microsoft sync  stuff I going to have a go in about half an hour
16:56.48aweluxthat's plenty
16:57.09aweluxI mean the 512mb
16:58.47lilliputif I am still right the phone/gprs/3g are still not working but the touch screen has been fixed ?
16:58.56lilliputI followed from far the dev
17:00.03aweluxyes. the touch screen is working fine now
17:01.06aweluxI suggest you create a backup of the current device and start working your way through the install description in the wiki
17:01.45aweluxLinux on the universal is not a permanent solution right now but it's getting more and more interesting.
17:16.43rob_wahh NOTE: package gpe-image-1.0-r20: task do_rootfs: started
17:19.02algefine :-9
17:20.07algebtw: has someone the documentation for the latest haret (that with the boot2 command)?
17:20.07algei can only find sources for versions with the "bootlinux" command.
17:21.34silvenalge: I think boot2 was introduced with gnu-haret.
17:26.30algebut he sources of gnu-haret at http://jornada820.sourceforge.net/files/ still have bootlinux and harett from handhelds.org cvs also has BOOTLINUX ...
17:27.47silvenalge: gimme a sec. I'm checking the horrid mess that is my devel folder :)
17:28.19aweluxalge, it's basically the same
17:28.37*** join/#htc-linux asylumed (n=insanity@196.211.28.90)
17:28.49aweluxboot2 just uses a different way to load the kernel into the memory but it otherwise the same as bootlinus
17:28.52aweluxbootlinux
17:29.14aweluxif you have a telnet connection to haret you can type help to get a list of commands
17:29.30aweluxin particular there are many more commands to dump hardware info.
17:31.02algeok, i was mainly asking because i was unsure if i had to give anything more then "set INITRD ..." to et an initrd loaded ... which fails for me for some strange reason ...
17:33.07silvenI have: set KERNEL "zImage" set MTYPE 6665 set INITRD "rd" set CMDLINE "root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc"
17:33.27silvenalge: what hardware are you on?
17:34.19algeblueangel, MTYPE 766
17:35.40algeI have generally a problem ith my self compiled kernels, they cannot boot any root device.
17:35.40algenow I had some hope that i could write an initramfs with some helpful debug echos, but it doesnt load it.
17:36.22silvenI've had some problems doing my own initrd's also. I'm not sure what is causing it though.
17:37.49aweluxalge, some of the dump commands for hardware information will not work on the blueangel since they are very cpu specific.
17:38.07algeI already changed defconfig to have DEV_RAM + INITRD enabled, but even doesn not checkthe given initrd image.
17:38.17aweluxBut the boot2 command for booting should do fine.
17:38.34algeok,
17:39.17asylumedwhich kernel version are you booting?
17:39.21algebtw: that telnet connection to haret  works only from windows?
17:39.28alge2.6.16 hh5
17:39.30silven??
17:39.34asylumedworks from linux too
17:39.40asylumedjust did it a few min ago
17:39.42silvenWorks from linux for me.
17:40.23asylumedas long as the ppp0 connection is setup by the synce stuff..
17:40.38algewhen i plug the mda via usb a ipaq-somethging module loads, do i have to setup a ppp connection then?
17:41.18algeok, synce, i tried it once but not seriously enough
17:41.32asylumedit should pop a new usb serial port in /dev/tts/
17:41.51asylumeduse synce-serial-config /dev/tts/USB0 (or similar)
17:41.53algeyes, this does apper
17:42.08asylumedstart "dccm" (not as root)
17:42.17algeok will try

19:24.52algealready tested (except gomunicator) -- works :-)
19:25.25algeeven suspend/resume worked (but only once)
19:28.38rob_wonly once ??
19:28.41rob_wbah
19:30.06algei suspended via menu-entry, not power-switch, resume was on power-switch, the next touch on power-switch locked it up
19:30.46algei loaded htcbluangel_suspend manually before
19:30.55rob_wyeah thats the way
19:31.51rob_wmaybe next time save a dmesg after a resume ..
19:33.02algeokay ...
19:38.51algebtw: gomunicator needs a libasound2 ipk for install. i'll try if i can take it from my oe deploy path
19:39.52rob_wit is uploaded also
19:42.00algethis time resume did not work, maybe i was to quick after suspend ...

20:01.31algegomunicator can make outgong calls, but no sound to be heared, (complains also about not beeing able to access mixer).
20:01.31algeno surprise, when no sound driver available or working
20:04.50algeI had to chmod 666 /dev/ttyS0, maybe the user should better be added to dialout.
20:04.50algepam_groups could do things like that ...if it was in the gpe-image
20:06.20rob_woe needs to handle that
20:07.09rob_walge,  how good is ur coding ? .. we need to align forces for uda1380 .. i just dont get it quick
20:10.51algei'm not quite a kernel programmer, but i'm comfortable with gdb, strace and so on.
20:10.51algelet's see how i can help.
20:10.51algebut first i should setup my build environment properly ... i could use some nslu2 knowledge for my oe-for-xanadux setup, but currently i'm a little bit frustrated about my failing kernel complies ... ;-)

20:15.42algenext suspend run: suspend from menu, takes about 5 seconds ... resume works, i could write dmesg, tap the screen for ">" ...lockup
20:15.59algei'll prepare a dmesg script with a short name ...
20:17.13rob_wok ..i need beer
20:18.21algebtw. can i speed up this wince hard reset "move the zahnarzttermin" stuff somehow? i get bored of it ... but meanwhile i'm really quick :-)
20:37.55algenext trial after resume: my "dmesg >out" script segfaults after resume ...
