More .......

With this kernel you have ssh whith dropbear, and nano-X, this is for project LinWizard and run very well in the s200.

ssh -l root 10.226.6.6

Password: root

I think that this is the start point to owner project, then we can compile with opie as in Universal.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cr2:
opie needs only minor customizations to run on another device.

IMHO it's more important to make SD and the touchscreen run.

Can you dump the TS and SDHC dlls from the device ?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Thempra:
No, I can't access to SD memory or I don't know do it. I try to mount /dev/mmc.... by say that it is not here.

I will try to compile de kernel with SD and MMC options ...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cr2:
I meant the wince .dlls. We have already tried it, and it didn't not work

to get them in this way.

Look in your logfile, you already have them. And the MMC/SD init command times out :(

Hallo to all... I want to ask a really simple question... I putted linux "HARET" in my s200... it start but... how to have keyboard on screen? Thank all...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Thempra:
You need connect your s200 in USB port and since your computer run

#ifconfig usb0 up 10.226.6.1 netmask 255.255.0.0

#ssh -l root 10.226.6.6

Password: root
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] sub078:
So... I need a computer with running linux? I don't have linux on my pc... There is a solution? thanks for answer....
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Thempra:
I dont't try it in windows, but I suppose that you have to run GNU/Linux in the s200 connected to the USB, Windows detected it as network interface and you configure it with IP 10.226.6.1 and netmask 255.255.0.0.

Then with putty conect to ssh at root@10.226.6.6 with password root.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] sub078:
Thank you... I will try... but... It's possible to install OPIE linux on s200? If yes... where i can find installation guide? My english is not good and I have some problem with the TECNICAL linux guides! Thank all for comprension! :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cr2:
Ok, i've checked with the wince dlls, the MMC/SD driver is ok.

What you are missing now is the card power gpio, card detect gpio and the irq.

Take the latest haret from http://handhelds.org/~koconnor/haret

read the docs and trace gpio usage.

To know other gpios would be useful too.

Only the exe is insufficient, you need the kernel to run, It 's in project linwizard

How do you get it? what default.txt do you have?? I try with:

set KERNEL "zImage"
set MTYPE "875"
set CMDLINE "root=/dev/ram0 console=tty0"
bootlinux

but it not run.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] iassael:
i followed the instructions of another site with haret.exe

why it will not run?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Thempra:
what site?? what instructions?? linwizard??

1º Do you see the boot of GNU/Linux?? Loading ......

or

2º Do you conect to telnet on port 9999??

If is thefirst option, you can conect to you PDA by ssh, because It's run dropbear (ssh server)

New Ideas

The last weekend I could mount a NFS of my laptop , I think that this is a temporaly solution of a not MMC detect.

I try to compile kernel from SVN:

svn co svn://uclibc.org/trunk/buildroot
copy the file to buildroot/.config
cd buildroot; make menuconfig; make

but I get the next error:

In file included from libpthread/linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/errno-loc.c:22:

The people of Movilinex have SD/MMCsupport !!!! Great work!!

The post of idea:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=174107&atid=867988&file_id=202149&aid=1593777

HOWTO:

you can use the: "[URL="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=174107&atid=867988&file_id=202149&aid=1593777"]SD-Workaround.zip[/URL]"
but check for newer Versions !

Unzip the Files an copy it to \Strorage\Program Files\HaRET\

a.	run ns.exe
open file install.ns
click "OK" (down left)
close ns.exe

b.	open ns.exe
open file hideSD.ns
click "OK" (down left)

c.	connect via telnet
cd /dev
mknod mmcblk0p2 b 254 2
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt

you can use my_cc.ext2.gz
it inculdes the /dev/mmcblk0p2
you have to rename it to cc.ext2.gz

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cr2:
Yes. I have found the TS SPI port location today, so a small SPI driver

needs to be written for TS to be functional.

The problems with SD init are also more or less understood now,

so the device will be usable as a PDA soon.

Linux package for Prophet

Hello (this is my first post ;)),

I assembled a small package with the components I found on different posts, because when I tried with the packages I found on the net, it never worked. I had to adjust few parameters in the default.txt for it to work on my QTEK S200.

#2.6.16
set MTYPE 6666
#2.6.22-rc4
#set MTYPE 689
#set CMDLINE "root=/dev/ram0 ro console=tty0 init=/linuxrc omap_udc=nodma video=omapfb:accel"
set CMDLINE "root=/dev/ram0 ro ip=192.168.3.35:192.168.3.31:192.168.3.31:255.255.255.0:tornado:usb0:none omap_udc=nodma video=omapfb:accel"
set INITRD my_cc.ext2.gz
set KERNEL zImage
set RAMADDR 0x10000000
set RAMSIZE 0x02000000

bootlinux

Those who wants to try, just unzip the file attached to the main memory and run haret-0.4.8.exe. I used the my_cc.ext2.gz and bzImage with SD support but didn't try it yet.

I can't SSH to the device with XP because it asks for a RNDIS driver. I tried to build it using some tutos on the web but the device is still marked as "The device can't start" (code 10). Can anyone help?

Thx

Hari

They lack the modem. Others have tried and ended up with bricks.

There's a reason people are selling these significantly cheaper.

If they could be flashed and magicked into working devices - people would do that and sell them for more money.

Who in 2015 actually uses phone calls and SMS when you have what's app, Skype etc? Might as well buy a demo unit for significantly cheaper ;)

Because you don't walk around with wifi? Do you live under a rock or wut...?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lite426:
We've got wifi pretty much everywhere where I live , and for those who don't you can carry a cheap wifi dongle thing. Or you living under a rock?

Lmao you have free WiFi whenever you're on the move? Dam.. You high tech man. Rest of us using cellular and 4g lte must be living under a rock...

Yep, get out from under your rock and get with the times, phone and SMS are outdated now. With the money you save from buying a demo unit (£300) it will cost a mere fraction of that to buy wireless dongle and a cellular SIM with data plan, I remember T-mobile had a deal where you could buy a SIM for £20 and get free data for a whole year. Not sure if they stil do it, but I'm sure there are loads of other bargains around. If you want to go ahead and waste your money buying a phone though, be my guest.
