02:08.48eidoLaptophi folks, after spendign 6 months trying to get a mobile crossing iPaq-driven / bluetooth gps mapper to work on anything close to a stable configuration, i'm giving up.  which means i have a bluetooth GPS receiver and an ipaq handheld.  if i nuked it, and installed opie, how is gpsdrive or other possibilities?  the machine isn't exactly earthshatteringly powerful.  400mghz xscale pxa260, 65meg ram, 128meg flash (though i have a 2
02:08.48eidoLaptopgig sd card)

06:40.38andiAndyGraybeal: check tcpdump or ethereal
06:40.46andiand compare with a working situation
06:41.01AndyGraybealandi: awesome thank you
06:41.38AndyGraybealyea, the logs aren't giving me any hints, i've been busting my knuckles trying to figure out how to get bootpd to be verbose in osx .... grr!
06:41.43AndyGraybealthanks alot for the response.
06:42.27anditcpdump can record packets
06:42.45andiand you can look at them later with ethereal
06:42.55AndyGraybealah very neat.  thank you
06:43.01AndyGraybeali'll use it
06:43.10AndyGraybeali'm getting tired now; i'm about to head to sleep, i'll try it out in the morning.

13:37.27AndyGraybealso a quick question, i've seen this twice so far, when i try to automatically 'detect' my handheld from the pc, it always asks to "press the hotsync button"  ... i have an ipaq 5550, and i'm unaware of what this button is; any ideas or work arounds?
13:38.09AndyGraybealin fact, i press all the buttons on it and nothing seems to happen
13:40.45*** join/#handhelds mithro (n=tim@ppp246-117.static.internode.on.net)
13:49.30AndyGraybealhmm, if i'm using an ipaq, should i be using KPilot, or is that just for palm pilots?
13:55.11bluelightningAndyGraybeal: kpilot is only for palms
13:56.04AndyGraybealthanks bluelightning  (btw just found your blog mr eggleton!  busted)
13:56.19bluelightningheh
13:56.22AndyGraybealj/k about the busted part :)
13:56.25bluelightning:)
13:56.55bluelightningso tired... time to get some sleep
13:56.58bluelightningcya later
13:58.10AndyGraybealokay, another rediculous question, do i install 'opensync' on my handheld, or does it just live on the pc?
14:01.12AndyGraybealnight
14:03.18voragoIt lives on Pc.
14:03.51voragoAnybody with linux on hx2790? I've managed to boot it (right shifted screen) but it halts with only cursor on the screen after booting...
14:04.05voragoI'm also looking for some ways of debugging it; like, serial usb terminal.
14:15.57AndyGraybealvorago: thank you

14:45.46mzb_d800I should add that I've now also verified operation of that cable on both h5550 and h1900 (in addition to h2200 and hx4700) .... one day I might test it on the g/f's hx2100.

19:19.56voragomzb_d800, Hm, I see.
19:20.17voragomzb_d800, I'll look for ready ones; but access to such hardware in my country is pretty bad.
19:30.01*** join/#handhelds Eldred (n=Mightful@blk-11-24-211.eastlink.ca)
19:31.07EldredExcuse me, after putting Opie on a my handheld, will I be able to connect to my Linux box, and transfer files?  How will I do this?
19:39.39*** join/#handhelds bd2 (n=cbou@89.113.85.104)
19:39.43MonMothaEldred: yes, and there are many ways.  I know many people just use scp/sftp over wifi or similar
19:40.09MonMothaonce you put linux on it, it's "just another linux box", only in a form factor convenient for portability
19:40.59EldredI don't have a wifi card on my PDA (Potential for it, just haven't purchased the card yet).  Is there any way I could do it through my USB cable on my charger?
19:42.12MonMothasure
19:42.29MonMothathe default use of the USB port is to emulate ethernet
19:43.01EldredThank you very much!
19:54.59voragoIs there familiar distro suitable for running from HaRET?
19:55.10voragoIs it much problem/risk of flashing better bootloader?
19:55.29voragoDoes bootloader must fit exactly specified device? ;d

19:57.05*** join/#handhelds goxboxlive (n=goxboxli@141.80-202-161.nextgentel.com)
19:57.17voragoAnd... another question; If I hold 4 buttons and reset I get... 'Eboot' Which detects USB, creates serial device on Linux (ttyUSB0) and waits for something.
19:57.28voragoIs it possible to boot linux over this bootloader?
20:18.58andivorago: bootloaders are different on different machines
20:20.43andivorago: playin with the bootloader is generally a big risk, since if you make a mistake, changing anything on the ipaq is quite hard
