It is possible to do some debugging in linux by sending I2C commands

directly to AK4641, but it's not a task for a beginner.

i would love to learn if you could teach me or send me in the rigth path. thanks for replying. BTW i do have a distro with Ubuntu running but im not that familiar with linux

The keyboard patch from Milan is merged,

and keyboard works in text mode.

IRDA works.

One more OPIE screenshot: :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] milanvot:
Great! Can you please put somewhere your rootfs image (opie included) so we poor people don't have to make our own? :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
Yes, please make it available so we can try it.

( this is so cool)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
Ok, now i tried with Opie, and it works, but i had some problem to get true the screen calibration. After about 20 times i got true it, but it didn't calibarate good enough, but bether than GPE.

After Opie git started i tried the screen calibration again, but now it refuse to accept my "points". So i had to reboot it again.

The image i am using does not have keyboard support. Have to wait to CR2 puts it out.

Is it possible to have both GPE and Opie at the same SD card? So i can choose wich GUI i will start when X ist starting?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cr2:
I have put my opie.tar.bz2 here:

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/Linux

You can mount it with the root=/dev/mmc/blk0/partX

where X is the Linux partition number.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cr2:
It seems that we will need to write some opie patches:

1. Nonlinear (tiled/bilinear) calibration.

2. HTC Phone ODevice() support.

I'm not sure, but you can try.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
I'm not sure, but you can try.[/quote]

I will :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cr2:
You can add a bootlevel option or something like that.

Main opie location is /opt/Qt*, so it does not overlap

with GPE.

Please run the 'ts_test' program in /home/root,

i am interested if your touchscreen has the same nonlinearity as mine.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
Could you also put GPE in that direcory, because i'm using the BA one, not the one you have made for Universal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cr2:
I have also used the BA GPE, but will concentrate only

on OPIE in the future. I can tell you that gomunicator is

not working because it does not know how to configure

the universal, and needs a recompile.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
Ok, i se, well Opie looks nicer than Opie anyway.

The screen was a lot clearer with this version than with the other Opie version i used, it's also boots faster.

Do you have the same problem as me with the screen calibration?

Now when i booted i got right to the desktop and not at the screen calibration. I started the screen calibration manually, but refuse to accept my "points" so i had to reboot it.

I have also flashed my Imate today with the newest rom (beta) and Linux works as i should.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pasztorl:
The cvs on sourceforge refuse the update. Can I download your keyboard enabled kernel please?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:

I can't get work opnemoko... i installed the cab file (more or less 24mb) i tried with an mmc totaly formatted at fat32 and empty but when i start the program it tell me this:

"mounting sd card

no previous root filesystem found..

fail fail fail fail

root filesystem tar file not found"

then i tried to put the tar.bz2 file named O.P.I.E.II-4.3.0.tar.bz2 in the root of the mmc but the same error... where is my mistake? how have to be formatted the mmc card? wich file i have to put in it for have openmoko working on my universal? thank you!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
Why dont you read the HOWTO/README file and try again.

Install the cab file either Qtopia or Openmoko (OPIEII is old, and you will need a linux filesystem on your sd card).

With Qtopia and Openmoko you only need to install the cab file (20-40MB).

http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcuniversal/images/O.P.I.E-II/Qtopia-4.3.1/Qtopia-Linux.cab

or

http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcuniversal/images/OpenMoko/Openmoko-Linux.cab

All the other images needs a linux filesystem on the SD card. Thoose two i provided a link for doesent. It's enough to have vfat filesystem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] eidos:
Thanks i can't get work my universal with that two cabfile but it works with the qtopia and opie cab (the small files) and formatting tha sd card (fat and ext2) with qtopia i have the same problem of the person that i quoted and i read also the reply but the problems doesn't solve... opie works great but there aren't phone ans sms parts.. i read that maybe is possible install the openmoko program on opie for the phone call and sms is it true?

found something interessting about that "locked" thing ...

at every bootup my device was locked ... then i´ve tried it with the solution above ... it worked ... but without phone support :-) (yes ... cause i´ve deactivated ... i know) but after that i restored the orginal settings and started it again ... and it worked ... without the locked problem ... after a reboot it worked also :-)

and i really love it :-)

**** damned ! now i have done another reboot and it doesn´t work anymore ... it seem that i have to do the deactivate / activate thing at every launch (if i want to use the phone) ... ****
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
how do you deactivate and reactivate it? :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] webmin:
at the moment i have to shutdown qtopia and edit the config file...deaktivate phone ... after that start it from the command line .... end it again an change the config file back to original ... then it works ...until next reboot .... i´ll try to write a script that allows to change it an easier way ...

but, how about the author of this "rom" or image ... why we cannot get a fix or a patch ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
yes what about that
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] webmin:
what about what? sorry... don´t understand ...

do you ask about the support of the developer ... or about my script ? i´m still testing ... i´m not that linux freak ...and still have to read few how to´s to find out what script language i could use ... an so on ..

Last working WM6 version

Hello,

who knows the last WM6 build version "useful" to correctly install the last Linux cab files? I've read there are problems in last versions.

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] torgweg:
Hello. Since the arrival of the cab files i got errors "Root tar filessytem not found"

My problem was on my french WinCe system "Storage card" folder does not exists. It is named "carte de stockage".

The qtopia.linux.rootfs.tar.bz was put on "Storage card" on the device not the sd-card (25 mo on my device memory is a big problem trust me ...)!!

i move the file to "carte de stockage" wich is the current name of my sdcard, removed the folder "Storage card" and it works like a charm. The removal/rename of the directory "Storage Card" seems mandatory .

Great jobs all, and i hope that my remarks will help others.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
Hi, i have no idea how wincw does this. So i am hardcoding the path in the cab file. If someone could help me out how to fix this so the cab file will work no matter what language i wil be mostly appriciated.

Som other news, a new guy at irc helped us out making the phone suspend/resume now in Qtopia. He is also trying to solve the power issue, so maybe we will soon can use the HTC Universal as our daily phone. We are really getting closer :-) ...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hakkinenvthh:
Hey man, can u tell me when?

Update

A new guy at irc have gotten in toi the kernel development.

He has now started to take a look at the htcuniversal drivers, and as i mention yesterday he is doing a lot of progress.

He has now solved the suspend/resume part for the modem, and he has also fixed the power issue.

I let my universal running last evening over the night and this morning the battery meter hadent even dropped.

So now, we are even closer :-) ....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] webmin:
now i have another question ... where can i get those drivers for the universal ...

it should be possible to install another linux like damn small linux using those drivers. i don´t need the phone functions ... only the wifi and 3g /umts should work ...

anyone have some infos ?

Updated Qtopia linux image

Added a updated Qtopia Linux image.

Status:

* suspend/resume working

* wireless should be loaded automaticly now

* cleaned up a litttle

* Kernel 2.6.21-hh20

* Qtopia-4.3.1-snapshot

I have started to use this image as my main phone now.

It seems stable and everything shuold work.

Though there are reposrts that still someone has problem with the modem, but i dont have it my self.

It will install to Storage Card, so thoose of you who uses a another language have to move the tar.bz2 file after install to the root of your SD card. And also edit the shortcut i think.

http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcuniversal/images/O.P.I.E-II/Qtopia-Linux.cab

** Update **

Also added a new openmoko image. I dont know if sms is working, but the phone should work as with Qtopia.

http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcuniversal/images/OpenMoko/Openmoko-Linux.cab

There are several other wich has the same problem. Me included, but it doesnt happend so often for me.

The only thing i do is to restart Qtopia (held the power button). If that doesnt help i restart the device..

OpenMoko & Qtopia issues

Qtopia:

I have the same problems that other users, the device is locked and I can't unlock it using the methods described in this forum.

OpenMoko:

The first time I start OpenMoko work's fine, ask me the PIN of the SIM and register well with the network, Ican send and receive calls, sms not work, but when restart the device don't ask for the PIN and the status of the network is "registering..." and I can't change it.

Thank you very much for this excepcional job.

Merry Christmas and happy new year.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] teixeirabmb:
I face the same problems.

If we remove the SIM PIN through WM6, it will able to register again, but we start a security problem.

I also cannot connect with the Internet, through GPRS or WIFI. How can I config both?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fgarpe:
remove the SIM PIN in WM5 don't work, I agree with you that eliminating PINs poses a security problem.

For configure wireless conection you only need edit your /etc/network/interfaces file, this is an example:

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp

wireless_mode managed

wireless_essid your_essid_network

wireless_key your_wireless_key

of course you need a DHCP server, if you don have this the configuration file seems like this:

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet static

address 192.168.0.50

netmask 255.255.255.0

network 192.168.0.0

broadcast 192.168.0.255

gateway 192.168.0.1

wireless_mode managed

wireless_essid your_essid_network

wireless_key your_wireless_key

you need change this with your network settings, then run in terminal this command:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

If you can not register with the phone network I think that you can't connect trought GPRS.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
Just a little taster

Fr thoose of you who want to test the latest changes, and are able to hack a little their self, can download this opt folder and replace it with the existing one. Do it like this:

Get the opt folder from here:

http://www.linuxtogo.org/~goxboxlive/htcuniversal/images/opt.qtopia.tar.bz2

and save it to the root of your SD card. Then do as follows:

ssh in to your uni and stop Qtopia from running. The uni have to be in the shell. Then:

rm -rf /opt
cd /
tar jxvpf /media/card/opt.qtopia.tar.bz2
/etc/init.d/qpe.sh start &

That's all.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hakkinenvthh:
I did it but in the end, it says "write error: No space left on device". I think 100mb is not enough to replace opt folder. How can I solve it???
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
delete the old opt folder, the one we renamed to opt.old
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hakkinenvthh:
I deleted the old opt folder and unzipped the file opt.qtopia.tar.bz2 ok, but when I entered Qtopia again, nothing was happended. I checked the folder /opt/Qtopia before logging in Qtopia. But I can't see something new in Qtopia, everything seems have no change. Any mistakes???

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fgarpe:
Do you know that you can access to the SD card in Linux?, the 100Mb Linux image is only for the file system, but if you have a 1Gb SD you can access to all space, I thing that the SD is mounted on /media/card
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hakkinenvthh:
But if I want to install any packages, can I do that???In that case, I need more 100Mb for the file system, right? I can't execute any commands: ./configure, make... It doesn't like Linux on PC?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] goxboxlive:
of course, linux = linux. You have a full linux system on yuor uni now.

Use partitions to expand your system. LIke have an own partition for /usr and /home and such.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hakkinenvthh:
Ok man, I see. Can I have a compiler or a package manager (like RPM) with my Uni? How can I expand my system to a new partition? I don't know how the image of Linux works on my system. Can I increase its capacity? I replaced opt system for Qtopia but I still have not sound. Show me how, please
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fgarpe:
In universal the package manager is ipkg, is similar as apt from Debian, If you will increase the capacity of your image you need to create new one with more space and copy all your file system to it, then delete the old image in your card and rename your new image as qtopia.linux.image.

Steps to create a new image with 200Mb:

In a linux PC do

$: su -

(your root password)

$: dd if=/dev/zero of=/where_you_like/disk-image count=409600

$: mkfs -t ext3 -q /where_you_like/disk-image

(when answer say yes)

then mount the qtopia.linux.image from you SD card, and the new image in your PC

$: mount -o loop /media/SDCard/qtopia.linux.img /mnt/qtopia

$: mount -o loop /where_you_like/disk-image /mnt/qtopia_new

copy all data from your old qtopia image to the new image-disk, I do it with rsync

$: cd /mnt/qtopia

$: rsync -aH --stats --exclude=lost+found ./* ../qtopia_new/

umount the images

$: umount /mnt/qtopia_new

$: umount /mnt/qtopia

delete the old image from your SD card and copy the new renaming it as qtopia.linux.img

boot linux in the universal

I'm do it in Debian and works, remember that Linux for universal is in development status and is for testing only, I don't know if this procedure is the best solution to increase the space in your image, do it as your risk
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hakkinenvthh:
Can I have a new package manager for my Uni? What's the compiler in Qtopia?

Where can I download some ipk package for Qtopia? I installed some packages ok, but the destination of them is the folder opt/QtPalmtop-x11, not Qtopia. So I installed wrong packages that can't be used in Qtopia?

Do you know how to change the destination folder to opt/Qtopia in ipkg command?

Is there a terminal for Qtopia?
