| 01:24.44 | amgad | hi eXi , i wanna ask bout couple of stuff |
| 01:25.20 | amgad | i have an sd-card running gpe now, |
| 01:26.18 | amgad | but when i remove the card and restart the phone, its hard resets.. is this normal, or can it be avoided?? |
| 01:33.55 | amgad | eXi, hello ??? |
| 06:26.01 | awelux_ | amgad, I think yes. The windows on the ram is overwritten by linux |

| 13:48.54 | m1nd | lukeross: not for me... but I have a pretty old image.. I don't know if its working... |
| 13:49.47 | m1nd | And of, I'm also running the Opie image.. I would guess the GPE is a bit more updated.. |
| 13:52.45 | lukeross | ok, i was reading the logs and the newer images of both are supposed to suspens. im about to give it a try |
| 13:53.15 | m1nd | great ;) would you let me know how it went? |
| 13:53.22 | lukeross | will do |
| 13:53.29 | lukeross | i've only just started playing with linux on BA, but so far am fairly impressed - calls and SMS worked well and no hassle |
| 13:54.45 | m1nd | yeah... gomunicator is pretty great ;) |
| 13:55.39 | m1nd | I'm actually working on a gsm comm library that will make it pretty easy making a phone app for Opie also.. or any other gsm enabled device ;) |
| 13:56.41 | lukeross | sounds good, but i bet the devil is in the detail |
| 13:56.57 | lukeross | eg. my network loves service numbers, where you get a text response |
| 13:58.01 | *** join/#htc-linux rob_w (n=bob@p213.54.218.125.tisdip.tiscali.de) |
| 14:00.24 | m1nd | lukeross: hmm... well that depends to what degree I will support stuff like that... |
| 14:01.11 | m1nd | I guess I will eventually, but for now just plain calls and sms... standard AT stuff... |
| 14:01.41 | lukeross | yeh, makes sense |
| 14:02.45 | m1nd | I had another question since I'm babbeling away ;) anyone tried fitting a booting image into flash rom? |
| 14:03.54 | m1nd | I have no idea how it works, I just remeber I did it on a old ipaq I had... |
| 14:04.13 | lukeross | i'd have thought its a bit high risk, until there's a proper bootloader |
| 14:04.26 | lukeross | the bootloader for the ipaq is quite clever |
| 14:04.32 | lukeross | wasnt it donated by compaq? |
| 14:04.41 | m1nd | not sure... |
| 14:05.24 | m1nd | makes sense to have a proper bootloader first, yeah ;) |
| 14:05.32 | m1nd | still I'd like to see it eventually! |
| 14:06.42 | lukeross | so would I, but I'd guess it's a way down the list. i think full APM, followed by wifi seems to be on several peoples' minds |
| 14:07.40 | lukeross | i'd like to get the camera working too |
| 14:10.28 | m1nd | yeah... that would be nice! |
| 14:10.33 | amgad | about gomunicator, i find it very annoying that its not communicating with contacts on gpe.. |
| 14:10.53 | m1nd | amgad: implement it ;) |
| 14:11.15 | amgad | as soon as i finish my exams mon, |
| 14:11.20 | m1nd | ;);) |
| 14:11.56 | m1nd | I've got my last exams 24 may... and a bachelor paper due 30 may :/ |
| 14:12.34 | amgad | i'll finish at 26 may, and the graduation project at 20 june |
| 14:12.36 | amgad | :( |
| 14:14.23 | amgad | m1nd, does anyone run firefox on blueangel?? |
| 14:14.40 | amgad | i tried to installed it but i had dependencies problems |
| 14:15.21 | amgad | i'd like to read some html docs offline, and i can't dow it with the mini browser thing in gpe |
| 14:17.03 | lukeross | good news re suspend, it works on the newer images |
| 14:17.17 | lukeross | i had to merge two images though, to get a usable environment |
| 14:19.51 | m1nd | lukeross: hmm.. Opie or GPE? |
| 14:20.05 | m1nd | amgad: I've never heard of it.. what about using dillo or something |
| 14:20.06 | m1nd | ? |
| 14:20.19 | m1nd | never heard of anyone running firefox I mean... |
| 14:20.27 | lukeross | i use GPE. i unpacked the gpe-ba.tar.bz2, then unpacked the latest gpe-image-blueangel over the top |
| 14:21.07 | m1nd | ok... |
| 14:21.12 | amgad | m1nd, i'll try dillo |
| 14:21.17 | m1nd | do that... |
| 14:21.28 | lukeross | then there's a menu icon marked "suspend" |
| 14:21.45 | lukeross | and a script /usr/bin/suspend.sh |
| 14:21.52 | m1nd | lukeross: I don't think anyone has updated the Opie-image for quite a while.. so I'll try the new GPE Image myself... |
| 14:22.23 | lukeross | is http://hands.com/~lkcl/blueangel/opie-image-blueangel.rootfs.tar.bz2 no good? |
| 14:22.32 | lukeross | i believe the latest ones are supposed to be there |
| 14:22.37 | amgad | ok, where do u get the gpe image from? |
| 14:23.11 | lukeross | same directory, but for some reason it doesnt boot into GPE but instead drops to console. hence i unpacked the older image underneath it |
| 14:24.02 | m1nd | lukeross: yeah... same does the opie image there... it has not been updated since january :/ |
| 14:24.35 | m1nd | I've got a booting Opie image (had to add some modules and stuff), but it has no suspend... |
| 14:24.48 | m1nd | I like Opie a bit better though... its faster.. I find GPE a bit slow... |
| 14:27.39 | lukeross | does it work if you expand the new image over the older image, so the graphical bits of the old are in there too? |
| 14:28.51 | m1nd | well, is there a "new" opie image to do that with? |
| 14:29.06 | m1nd | I only see the one from january, and thats the one I've already got... |
| 14:30.29 | lukeross | oh right, sorry. theres an even older GPE image (Dec) which seems to have some bits the Jan images miss, but no images newer than Jan I'm aware of |
| 14:30.39 | lukeross | suspend works in the Jan images for me |
| 14:30.57 | m1nd | ok, cool... Does buttonpress also work? |
| 14:31.03 | m1nd | for suspend I mean? |
| 14:31.12 | lukeross | nope |
| 14:31.26 | m1nd | how do you un-suspend then? |
| 14:32.04 | lukeross | when in suspend, pressing the power button unsuspends it. but pressing it again doesnt re suspend |
| 14:32.23 | m1nd | ok... that should not be to hard to implement though... |
| 14:32.38 | m1nd | how about bluetooth? straight out of the box+ |
| 14:32.39 | m1nd | ? |
| 14:33.12 | lukeross | ive no bluetooth devices to test it with |
| 14:33.34 | m1nd | heh ;) okthen... but I think it should work... |
| 14:34.10 | lukeross | hmmm. actually im not sure it behaves properly after it comes out of suspend |
| 14:34.29 | m1nd | hehe... typical ;) |
| 14:34.30 | lukeross | i can't seem to open any programs afterwards |
| 14:34.40 | m1nd | hmm now that sucks! |
| 14:35.37 | m1nd | well... I gotta take a drive... I'll probably come haunt you later for more experience info about the new GPE image... So I know what I'm getting when I switch from Opie ;) ca guys... |
| 14:36.05 | lukeross | bye |
| 14:42.50 | amgad | lukeross, please, i find two kernel images, one is "zImage-2.6.12 11-Dec-2005 23:30 827K " at http://gnulinux.biz/files/blueangel/sd/linux/ |
| 14:43.01 | amgad | which is advertised on this page |
| 14:43.32 | amgad | and another "http://wiki.xda-developers.com/uploads/zImage-2.6.12-hh2" |
| 14:43.41 | amgad | which one is latest? |
| 14:49.39 | lukeross | not sure. i think the latest readily available one is http://hands.com/~lkcl/blueangel/zImage-2.6.12 - dated 14 January |

| 20:46.50 | *** join/#htc-linux mrevil (n=mike@port-83-236-11-83.dynamic.qsc.de) |
| 20:47.44 | mrevil | Hello |
| 20:48.18 | goxboxlive | hi mrevli |
| 20:48.47 | awelux_ | hi goxboxlive |
| 20:49.17 | awelux_ | I think you should try out different combinations for the last three bit of the driver. |
| 20:49.22 | mrevil | i think i've got an easy question |
| 20:49.31 | awelux_ | compile it as a module and start trying goxboxlive |
| 20:50.00 | goxboxlive | Yes i can i can try that. |
| 20:50.03 | awelux_ | While I tried some combinations I saw distortions very similar to the ones of the universal |
| 20:50.16 | awelux_ | So I'm pretty sure that it's possible. |
| 20:50.26 | goxboxlive | ok i c. |
| 20:50.29 | mrevil | i know, everything is really beta but i just want to see a little enguin on my magician, where can i find a (somehow) running kernel? |
| 20:50.39 | awelux_ | For example: Try to swap the 3 and 2 for the X and Y axis |
| 20:50.53 | goxboxlive | ok |
| 20:51.03 | awelux_ | mrevil, right place. right time :) |
| 20:51.11 | mrevil | :-) |
| 20:51.50 | awelux_ | The very first step is to create a full backup. |
| 20:52.03 | mrevil | i should be working on my exams, but i'm so curious |
| 20:52.05 | awelux_ | Because you will have to do a hard reset. |
| 20:52.20 | awelux_ | Linux will overwrite the wince in the ram |
| 20:52.33 | mrevil | oh, that's always a good idea while running wince, too. |
| 20:52.38 | awelux_ | :) |
| 20:52.54 | awelux_ | Do you have a SD card you could reformat? |
| 20:53.01 | mrevil | yes, i have |
| 20:53.05 | awelux_ | An SD card is needed if you want to run opie |
| 20:53.53 | mrevil | ok, just for the beginners: what is opie? i played around with haret a little bit.. |
| 20:53.59 | awelux_ | If you want to compile the kernel yourself you could get it from cvs |
| 20:54.27 | awelux_ | Ah. opie is a graphical user interface based on qtembedded. like kde for pda's |
| 20:54.40 | mrevil | i'd like to try the stony way ;) where can i find it? |
| 20:54.50 | awelux_ | hehe. good. |
| 20:55.07 | awelux_ | You will also need a gcc crosscompiler. |
| 20:55.14 | mrevil | oh, you are really as far as running a GUI on it? |
| 20:55.19 | awelux_ | yes. |
| 20:55.28 | mrevil | wow :) |
| 20:55.47 | awelux_ | GUI, TS, SD card, and network over USB. |
| 20:55.53 | awelux_ | TS=Touchscreen |
| 20:56.06 | awelux_ | keys don't work yet but they should be quite simple |
| 20:56.28 | mrevil | i've just downloaded a toolchain a few days before... |
| 20:56.34 | awelux_ | since yesturday evening the TS is working flawless :) |
| 20:56.55 | awelux_ | mrevil, wow. I will dig up the line to checkout the cvs tree |
| 20:57.08 | mrevil | pretty hard work i assume.. |
| 20:57.19 | mrevil | that would be nice |
| 20:58.54 | awelux_ | hmm.I'm having trouble accessing SF cvs... |
| 21:00.06 | mrevil | hmm, when SF works again, which is the name of the project? |
| 21:01.10 | awelux_ | K2-6-12-hh2-xda0-un0 |
| 21:01.23 | awelux_ | the magician shares the tree with universal and others |
| 21:02.12 | mrevil | is this the kernel, lying in the handhelds.org cvs? |
| 21:03.38 | awelux_ | yes. |
| 21:04.52 | mrevil | i think i checked out something form there but was not able to configure it.. result was a red line in the middle of my screen |
| 21:06.18 | awelux_ | is there a magician_defconfig in arch/arm/configs ? |
| 21:08.01 | mrevil | no, i don't see it. i see a himalaya_defconfig and a xda_defconfig but none for the magician |
| 21:09.16 | awelux_ | that is strange. I thought I checked it in. I'm fighting a bit with cvs |
| 21:09.51 | mrevil | hmm, perhaps i should simply "cvs update" |
| 21:11.41 | awelux_ | I'm just checking it out myself. |
| 21:12.54 | mrevil | i checked out cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/xanadux, linux-2.6-xda |
| 21:13.17 | mrevil | wrong thing? |
| 21:14.02 | awelux_ | Actually I'm confused myself right now. give me a few minutes to sort it out. Probably something changed on the server. |
| 21:14.20 | mrevil | OK, thanks for your help anyway! |
| 21:17.22 | awelux_ | Worst case I will send you a tarball. |
| 21:18.14 | mrevil | would be great! |
| 21:32.11 | awelux_ | let's see how long this will take. |
| 21:32.39 | mrevil | i hope xchat does like transfers :) |
| 21:33.03 | awelux_ | usually yes. But your firewall must forwarrd connections |
| 21:33.23 | mrevil | ah.. which ports? |
| 21:34.20 | awelux_ | usually you have to forward a few ports to your system and then tell xchat which ports are forwarded. |
| 21:34.29 | mrevil | sorry, kindof new to irc |
| 21:34.40 | mrevil | i'll take a look |
| 21:34.54 | awelux_ | It's in preferences. Netzwerk, Dateitransfers, Netzwerkeinstellungen |
| 21:36.09 | mrevil | DCC IP should point to the external IP? |
| 21:38.26 | awelux_ | yes. When I request to send a file to you your client is expected to answer with an ip address and port where I should send it to. |
| 21:38.57 | awelux_ | but you can check the box. get my ip from server |
| 21:39.09 | awelux_ | then you just need to enter a port range |
| 21:39.33 | awelux_ | I suggest some ports above 1024 and below 32000 |
| 21:39.49 | awelux_ | one port should be enough. |
| 21:40.01 | awelux_ | but two or three can't hurt. |
| 21:40.18 | mrevil | i'm just fighting with my firewall... |
| 21:41.48 | mrevil | ok, port forwarding should work now |
| 21:43.57 | awelux_ | I think you will have to click accept in the window/tab that popped up. |
| 21:44.38 | mrevil | hmm, there didn't pop up anything |
| 21:44.56 | awelux_ | hmm. maybe I mixed up mthe port stuff |
| 21:45.26 | awelux_ | ohh |
| 21:45.28 | awelux_ | ic |
| 21:46.06 | mrevil | jippie :) it is working |
| 21:46.36 | awelux | this will take a while. Can't be helped. |
| 21:47.55 | mrevil | thanks a lot! might i steal a few more minutes of your time? |
| 21:48.07 | mrevil | about installing opie? |
| 21:57.44 | awelux | I've followed the great example here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UniversalProgress |
| 21:58.09 | awelux | you will need the opie image |
| 21:58.49 | mrevil | will the Universal one work? |
| 21:59.50 | awelux | yes. |
| 22:00.03 | awelux | The arm binaries of opie are the same |
| 22:01.41 | mrevil | that URL looks easy to understand. could become a long night :) |
| 22:08.54 | awelux | hmm. It seams like sourceforge is slowly coming back. When I checkout using my user name I can see the files I checked in. |
| 22:11.59 | mrevil | i'm not really in love with cvs.. |
| 22:12.28 | mrevil | the interesting thing is, anonymous cvs did work... but perhaps i used the wrong repository |
| 22:14.27 | mrevil | thanks for the kernel-tree :) |
| 22:14.56 | awelux | I've tried anonymous as well and could not get the files. |
| 22:16.42 | mrevil | cvs update did work, but it included nothing about magician |
| 22:17.08 | awelux | yes. Same here. I'm trying to figure that out |
| 22:17.31 | mrevil | you mean the kernel inside the xanadux-project, don't you? |
| 22:18.15 | awelux | yes. when 'I checked out the tag K2-6-12-hh2-xda0-un0 with my user it worked. |
| 22:18.34 | awelux | But with anonymous the files were missing. |
| 22:18.56 | mrevil | is it a bug or a feature? ;) |
| 22:19.15 | awelux | maybe a sf feature |
| 22:20.15 | mrevil | do they have their own cvs implementation? |
| 22:20.47 | awelux | Maybe they serve the anonymous access from a different server |
| 22:21.14 | awelux | If you have some time you could request a user ID on sf |
| 22:21.26 | awelux | and try to check out the files with that user id. |
| 22:21.49 | awelux | But the ones you got just now will work |
| 22:22.32 | awelux | if you type arm-linux-gcc -v will that work ? |
| 22:22.43 | mrevil | not the worst idea. i'll try for future. but now i just want to run the pengu.. |
| 22:23.24 | mrevil | i hope it will when i've set the right PATH |
| 22:26.24 | mrevil | OK, gcc version 3.4.1. is that OK? |
| 22:26.31 | awelux | yes that's fine |
| 22:27.10 | awelux | in the Makefile in the kernel root path you can edit the CROSSCOMPILE variable to point to your arm gcc |
| 22:27.24 | awelux | if the above worked you need to change nothing |
| 22:28.32 | awelux | just type make magician_defconfig |
| 22:28.48 | awelux | that should configure the kernel for magician |
| 22:28.57 | awelux | there is probably still a .config file from me |
| 22:30.31 | mrevil | ok, then make zImage? |
| 22:31.28 | awelux | yes |
| 22:32.05 | awelux | And then there are two little tricks. I think they are both still needed: |
| 22:32.28 | mrevil | which are? |
| 22:32.46 | awelux | You have to use the Image instead of the zImage and you must have phone flight mode off |
| 22:33.18 | awelux | There still seams to be some minor memory corruption which prevents the zImage from uncompressing |
| 22:34.07 | mrevil | but what about the flight mode? |
| 22:34.38 | awelux | And the flight mode, you don't have to enter your pin but the phone must be on. |
| 22:35.02 | awelux | You can also enter the pin. But when we select flight mode it simply doesn't boot. |
| 22:35.15 | mrevil | which means sim has to be inserted? |
| 22:36.30 | mrevil | ok, compilation completed. i'll just take a last look on my contacts and hope all of data is synced.. |
| 22:37.26 | awelux | Yes. sim has to be inserted |
| 22:38.23 | mrevil | do i need an initrd? |
| 22:38.51 | awelux | hmm. |
| 22:39.31 | awelux | yes |
| 22:40.02 | mrevil | what has to be inside? |
| 22:40.26 | awelux | I'm using one but it's possible that you don't need mit anymore when you use the SDcard |
| 22:40.46 | awelux | you could try to boot the Image without the SD card prepared and the initrd |
| 22:41.00 | awelux | You should at least see the output to the screen |
| 22:41.17 | mrevil | my first try will just try to start the kernel, system has to come later.. |
| 22:41.17 | awelux | while I try to boot without initrd |
| 22:42.08 | awelux | set KERNEL "Image" |
| 22:42.12 | awelux | set MTYPE 875 |
| 22:42.30 | awelux | boot2 |
| 22:42.38 | awelux | that should boot the kernel from haret |
| 22:42.52 | mrevil | blank between boot and 2? |
| 22:43.04 | awelux | no |
| 22:43.36 | awelux | there was a bootlinux command whichwas rewritten and in that period there were both bootlinux and boot2 |
| 22:43.47 | awelux | now there is only boot2 in gnuharet |
| 22:44.52 | mrevil | jippie :))) |
| 22:45.55 | mrevil | ok, i did not build the system, so it gives up saying unable to mount root fs but not the worst sign |
| 22:45.58 | awelux | sounds good :) |
| 22:46.24 | awelux | I'm currentöy checking without initrd. I guess it will work |
| 22:47.57 | awelux | yes. It's booting fine without initrd |
| 22:48.14 | awelux | So just prepare the SD card. |
| 22:48.19 | mrevil | i'm looking forward to adjust my screen and move the "funny" dentist appointment... |
| 22:48.43 | awelux | set CMDLINE "root=/dev/mmc/blk0/part2 init=/linuxrc console=tty0 mem=63M" |
| 22:48.44 | mrevil | yes, that will be my next step |
| 22:51.56 | mrevil | my opie-image doesn't want to unzip.. next try |
| 22:55.46 | awelux | did you try tar xfj universal_rootfs_060312.tar.bz2 |
| 22:56.29 | mrevil | yes, but i think the download was not OK. now everything is unzipped |
| 22:56.44 | awelux | do you have a card reader available on your main pc and linux? |
| 22:56.58 | mrevil | yes i have |
| 22:57.19 | awelux | then you can use this to prepare the SD card. |
| 22:57.37 | awelux | That's much easier than trying to do it on the device. |
| 22:57.41 | mrevil | partitioned my sd card and but the files on the second partition (ext2) |
| 22:57.51 | awelux | ok. |
| 22:57.54 | awelux | good |
| 22:58.14 | awelux | open the linuxrc file in the root of the fs |
| 22:59.19 | mrevil | i cannot find a linuxrc |
| 22:59.36 | awelux | ah. |
| 22:59.59 | mrevil | do i have to create one? |
| 23:00.41 | awelux | The initrd used the linuxrc to setup some basic stuff |
| 23:01.05 | awelux | it's easier to do it there than in an init script |
| 23:01.39 | mrevil | thanks |
| 23:02.14 | mrevil | do i have to modify it? |
| 23:03.01 | awelux | in this file you will find the ip address under which you can reach the magician |
| 23:03.10 | awelux | it's set to 192.168.2.206 currently |
| 23:03.34 | awelux | that's probably fine for you too |
| 23:04.06 | mrevil | ok, how will i communicate with it? with synce-serial ? |
| 23:04.41 | awelux | later if the device booted you can pull and replug the usb cable and then your linux pc should recognise the device as an usb net device. |
| 23:04.50 | awelux | you just type ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.205 |
| 23:04.53 | awelux | on your pc |
| 23:05.00 | mrevil | oh - mom - some drunken ... under my window... |
| 23:05.17 | awelux | and you can ssh 192.168.2.206 into your device |
| 23:06.45 | mrevil | ok, back again, thought i had to call an ambulance |
| 23:06.56 | mrevil | is it ready to boot now? |
| 23:07.50 | awelux | hehe. |
| 23:07.57 | awelux | yes it is ready to boot now. |
| 23:08.47 | awelux | with the above line you will start linuxrc first and linuxrc calls init after doing some stuff. |
| 23:11.41 | mrevil | ...the big moment... |
| 23:13.45 | mrevil | cannot find root-fs. perhaps i made a typo |
| 23:15.04 | awelux | hmm. maybe. can you see something on the screen related to finding the sd card? |
| 23:15.13 | awelux | like the size of the card? |
| 23:15.54 | awelux | and replug the usb andway and check with dmesg on your pc what is detected. |
| 23:16.11 | mrevil | yes, "host does not support read-only switch, assuming write-enable", |
| 23:16.21 | mrevil | unrecognised SCR structure |
| 23:16.30 | mrevil | version 1 |
| 23:17.27 | mrevil | do you now what that means? |
| 23:18.29 | awelux | I've not had this message. Sounds like there is a problem with the partition of the SD card. |
| 23:19.03 | mrevil | ok, i'll try to partition ot step-by step as told on the website.. |
| 23:20.03 | mrevil | but networking seems to be working |
| 23:21.16 | mrevil | ..not really, transmit timed out. |
| 23:21.28 | awelux | no wonder |
| 23:21.36 | awelux | since the linuxrc was not executed |
| 23:21.40 | awelux | it's on the sd card |
| 23:21.53 | awelux | so no ip is assigned to the usb net of the pda yet |
| 23:22.06 | mrevil | yes. but nice to see, the kernel recognises the usb-connection |
| 23:22.07 | awelux | you could try to boot with an initrd |
| 23:22.34 | mrevil | how do i create a fitting one? |
| 23:22.54 | awelux | It's probably best to reuse an existing one again. |
| 23:24.05 | mrevil | where can i find one? |
| 23:25.13 | awelux | as usual I used the one from universal. |
| 23:25.23 | awelux | cr2 did a great job on that. |
| 23:28.40 | mrevil | are that two devices that similar? |
| 23:28.56 | awelux | yes. They use the same cpu |
| 23:29.01 | mrevil | oof course, same binaries... |
| 23:29.19 | awelux | not just that |
| 23:29.30 | awelux | you can use the same binaries for all arm cpus |
| 23:29.53 | awelux | but for embedded devices there are a lot of peripherals included in the cpu |
| 23:30.15 | awelux | and since the magician and the universal use the same cpu almost all peripherals are the same too |
| 23:32.21 | mrevil | my machine wants to reboot. i'll be back.. |
| 23:37.13 | *** join/#htc-linux mrevil (n=mike@port-83-236-11-83.dynamic.qsc.de) |
| 23:37.31 | mrevil | back again |
| 23:38.18 | awelux | kernel ops because of usb? |
| 23:38.52 | mrevil | no, no really - my cardreader didn't work anymore |
| 23:39.21 | mrevil | didn't give my access to the card anymore |
| 23:40.54 | mrevil | formated my card again |
| 23:41.25 | awelux | you should have waited 1 minute more :) |
| 23:41.59 | mrevil | argh... i forgot it |
| 23:43.08 | awelux | np. I'm surprised it didn't resume |
| 23:45.05 | mrevil | one silly question: do you know a method not to enjoy the winCE-tutorial after a hard reset? |
| 23:46.00 | awelux | good question. |
| 23:46.01 | awelux | yes |
| 23:46.36 | awelux | a little script doing all the synce-pcp |
| 23:46.46 | awelux | and then synce-prun "My Documents/gnuharet.exe" |
| 23:47.05 | awelux | and I've a startup.txt with the haret commands |
| 23:47.28 | mrevil | that might be helpful |
| 23:48.48 | mrevil | do i have to put the rd into the linux partition? |
| 23:50.22 | awelux | no |
| 23:50.26 | awelux | the rd is the initrd |
| 23:50.56 | awelux | you could mount it with mount rd.loop /mnt -o loop |
| 23:51.16 | awelux | just copy the rd, the Image and gnuharet to your magician my documents |
| 23:51.44 | awelux | in haret you use these lines: |
| 23:51.46 | awelux | set INITRD "rd" |
| 23:51.48 | mrevil | not onto the sd-card? |
| 23:51.57 | awelux | #set CMDLINE "loglevel=9 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=16336 keepinitrd" |
| 23:52.09 | awelux | no the sd card didn't work yet. |
| 23:52.25 | mrevil | ah, now i understand |
| 23:52.27 | awelux | without the # of course |
| 23:52.49 | awelux | I recommend to create a default.txt file with the haret commands |
| 23:53.01 | awelux | and copy it to the device as well each time. |
| 23:53.19 | awelux | Keep in mind that the newlines in the default.txt must be windows newlines |
| 23:54.15 | mrevil | which commands are that? |
| 23:55.56 | awelux | set KERNEL "Image" |
| 23:55.56 | awelux | set MTYPE 875 set INITRD "rd" |
| 23:55.56 | awelux | <PROTECTED> |
| 23:56.09 | mrevil | ok, a misunderstanding |
| 23:56.56 | mrevil | i was thinking you meant the way to prevent winCE from introducing itself |
| 23:57.21 | awelux | Ich muss dringend mal ein fenster öffnen. Ich habe gerade eben einen maggie suppenwürfel verbrannt. |
| 23:58.20 | awelux | well. that's almost the same. It's convenient to use a default.txt for haret. |
| 23:58.20 | mrevil | hmm - sounds like smelling delicious ;) |
| 23:58.57 | mrevil | is there a difference between default.txt and startup.txt? |
| 23:59.04 | awelux | And if you want to start haret while the pda still shows the welcome screen you would rename the default.txt as startup.txt |
| 23:59.25 | awelux | just that haret looks for startup.txt when it's started. |
| 23:59.45 | awelux | And default.txt is the default file for the run button. |
