NAND Driver

Hmmm, If we are still getting dma errors with the sd card, I wonder if the NAND driver is functional? With the last kernel, i know that dcordes was working to get it running with the kaiser. Does the NAND driver initialize when the kernel is booting up?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] corvus:
Good job...

Now i can mount /system and /data

If you see init script the last line exec init1 that is a elf binary. This cause a Segmentation fault, so we get to the end... if someone have any idea to continue, i can test anything...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] corvus:
Please, can compilers use this config:

http://git.source.android.com/?p=ke...c52123b116ba7b088193225e444f75b77cc04;hb=HEAD

It have loop, cp457, iso8859 and ashmem.

Or modify the one you are using with this options... It seems that the problem I have with segmentation fault is because ashmem is not set.

Thanks

Corvus.

PD: Only 1 step to get Android booting... i Hope...

Centralized Development Hosting [feedback?]

Hello developers, I'm cross posting this between the Kaiser Android page, the Diamond Android page, and the Android Dump page:

I do not have the time or experience to contribute, although I am excited and looking forward to getting Android on my Kaiser, so I thought I would contribute what I could toward the development process: Space and bandwidth.

I have created a ftp user account on my web server which will be dedicated to helping the *development* process. If you, as a developer, have files to share/work on, upload them to the appropriate a folder with your name on it.

I am currently hosted with godaddy.com on their deluxe plan ($7/mo) and should have plenty of bandwidth to work with, but this is intended for development, once we have finalized files I will probably need to have files moved to other servers as I doubt my bandwidth will hold up once we have functional ROMs...that said, any developers are welcome to use this space as a place for development collaboration and to share files relating to ROM development.

If anyone has any questions about the use of this space or other recommendations about centralized collaboration, email me, contact at the bottom.

Please use the space respectfully and don't mess with other's files.

[edit] PM me for logon credentials. (thanks for the input guys!)

There are currently the working folders:

/android dump/ - Files/scripts for pulling Android from the G1.

/diamond/ - Files/scripts for getting Android working on the Diamond.

/kaiser/ - Files/scripts for getting Android working on the Kaiser.

thats not really a good idea, change that password and pm the interested parties. I don't think you want to be responsible for what the internet, as a whole, wants to dump on your machine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] aximilation:
How so? It's a limited ftp account, if there is any trouble, I can just pull the plug...

[edit] Are you saying you think it's better to provide login credentials to select people who PM me? I can do that as well.

Dear aximilation,

it seems that there are concrete hopes to see Android on ARM920T equipped phones (like trinity).. it would be perfect to have another ftp directory for ARMv4 processor..

Perhaps I could contact benno and christopher to make them aware of your ftp. I know they are developing for Freerunner but the processor is the same.

Excuse my poor english!

Thankyou for your good work!

I can scroll araound but when I click on something for example google maps it just freezes. This happens in almost all of the apps. How can I ge tthe apps working? It also has a G for my signal with one bar. All of the apps freeze, and then I have to take out the stylus and soft reset. I have a folder labeled tilt androis that has all my files, and I took out all the Z images except for the most current one. I had to rename the current one to Zimage for it to load.

you are most likely booting the version .8 on android- which will boot, but has the errors that you listed and is also very unstable. If you got all of your files from post 1, then you are currently running the m5 (0.8) version of android.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] biscuits1978:
Is there a version 0.9 (or 1.0?) available for download? I've heard of people even being able to use some of the phone features, but I have yet to be able to do so.

All the time we spend replying this post is time we dont spend making it work, and if you read the las 5 pages maybe can help. If not you must wait until the work is finished and is almost sure you will see a Sticky in the Rom Development forum...

Until then dont make us waste our time...

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] biscuits1978:
My apologies, not trying to stray you away from work, but with all due respect I was talking in regards that this forum has had references to 0.9 before you guys starting working on those 5 pages. I realize you all are working on progressing these efforts, I was merely questioning a version that wasn't out there for download and testing.

I'm not going to press you all to hurry up and finish as I'm sure this is not a quick resolution thing you all are doing. Trust me, everytime you all make an entry on this forum, I get an alert on my phone and read up on it. It's been that way for a while for me, and I'm impressed on how much work is being put into this.

Salutations. When might we be able to natively boot Android off of the NAND without having to use this haret.exe stuff? I'd love to quit being MS's ***** and use Google's stuff, but I really don't like the idea of using haret as a crutch to get Android running. Is this becoming more of a possibility now that the G1 hit stores?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] EDA-One:
I think, the first step should be, to get android running with haret. If that works, the next step would be to get to know, how it could be started without haret.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xmercury:
Sorry to go off topic, but the thread title needs to be changed. Something along the lines of "QUIT ASKING STUPID F*CKING QUESTIONS and READ THE D*MN THREAD" oohh yeah and add Android in there somewhere.

If we were able to boot without Haret, it would be mentioned in the first post. These posts annoy me to no end and I'm not even a developer. I can only imagine how annoying they are to them.

I've been reading the thread for weeks. I don't like the idea of having to use WinMo to run haret and then boot Android. If I have to do that, I'll stick with L26's relatively new M2D ROM. Just haven't heard anything about booting Android without haret. I was merely wondering if anybody had any idea about running Android completely independent of WinMo and haret. I had a Wizard, then a Hermes, and now a Kaiser. Quit hatin'. I have 3 posts. So what if I lurked without signing up for a long time? This is a cool site.

storm a'brewin

look, i think the birdflu thing was purely a longtime poster/reader's frustration over the inability for others to read before asking. This "will android boot without haret" question has been asked at least 2 more times on this thread.

Please everyone if you dont like using the search feature, dont ask real people either. Its lazy. We are all working hard and hoping for more TECHNICAL expertise here, not answering the same questions over and over.

so I will answer for everyone that is too lazy to RTFM...errr thread...

1 our current builds from source (1.0) do not boot yet (fully)

2. yes you need haret (for now)

3. we know where the source code can be obtained

4. the G1 wont be as much help as the source itself (it may aide in perfecting drivers and software)

5. This forum is for the KAISER and its variants. If you have a different phone, you can try whatever you want, but if you want to talk about YOUR different phone start a thread in the appropriate forum.

6. quotes have to be long sometimes to compare output results. If you dont like it, get a bigger screen.

7...ugh...im sure there is more, but geeeeeez.... try the google first and the search feature before making yourself look like a lazy ass to those of us that have been following this thread since it was a different thread!

thank you and good night.

Oh my god. You are an idiot in several multiple ways.

Get sars, as you said.

No, seriously... You dont get that? That this may be possible in he future? You know that using haret is an excelent way to try to boot android of the phone, since: You can test different image files without doing unneccesary rom flashing. It's just a method, an easy method, near to hand and works great, so you think using WinMo is being MS *****?

Cutting Quotes and Project Status in the first

It is clicking God's created "Last" that 70% of the people come to this forum posting with useless questions like "is it working?", "0.8 has problems",etc etc....

I like to start reading from where I stopped, so I know what happened with the discussion and don't need to ask any stupid questions. In addition, I don't know if you tried, but PIE for Kaiser renders quite badly this forum (1 narrow column of text). And I googlelise the page to see properly and but then it paginates over the already page of the forum. I believe it's good manner in forums when quoting, leave just a small part of the text to get the context. If you want to see the message quoted, then you go back, so easy...

By the way, who'g got the rights to edit the first page? Why don't we put something like:

--------------------------------------------------------------

(DATE) STATUS: opensourced code (2 days ago) doesn't work yet.

version 0.8 works with issues

version0.9 and 1.0 don't work because they are too big for the memory and the SD driver has DMA problems.

This script below has the commands to configure, get all necessary libraries, and call all the commands to get and compile the code.

See in the post two a more detailed description about the status of the project.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Of course you guys know might know better what to write, but something short and clear would filter 70% of the posts to this thread which don't add absolutely anything to help us to finally get android working fully in our kaisers. Gonna give another try with ubuntu. Good work and good luck!!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] echofloripa:
It's pretty good we could put most of it in the first post combined with what I had proposed before.

But why do you need to quote a whole log? That will be

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] dcordes:
Can kaiser owners check out and report what works and what doesn't (booting, calling, touchscreen, display power, etc.. ) in the new zImage at http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/kaiser-bootkit/zImage-kaiser-new.bin ? Nothing new was added here and nothing dramatically changed, it is only a rebase of barry's patch at http://headfuzz.co.uk/files/android/git-diff-2.6.25-170908.diff to the g1 release kernel code.

IMPORTANT

I want to outline quickly what benefits the release of the sources by google bring for the linux on kaiser (and polaris) situation:

##KERNEL PART##

The source code for the WIFI in g1 (aka dream aka trout) which was prviously not available, will bring us wifi support for kaiser, polaris, titan and many others. It needs some work to be adapted to the seperate devices though. I almost have that done for kaiser (and polaris) so stay tuned and hope with barry's help I can make it happen.

Also in the trout source code, LED drivers and maybe some other nifty things can be found which could be easily adapted to kaiser.

What the new kernel source does not do is fixing the SD driver problems.

##USERLAND##

The also newly available source code to the google android userspace will enable modifying things more easily (previously only the advanced computer scientist like dzo was able to do that).

I.e. you can make the image smaller so you can boot it from ram in order to try it on kaiser. or maybe it will boot from SD card with a minimum of apps and stuff (even with the broken SD driver situation on kaiser).

Also one could edit the way the phone apps work so we can send sms and so. Maybe that would even work out of the box. I'm not sure about gprs and 3g though because that is done kernel wise in a different way on g1 than on kaiser. (msm rmnet) but that's not unsolveable.

Unfortunately I can't come up with a working alternative to android yet.

Just ran the new zImage against both android.bin and android-data.bin (up one directory) as well I booted with angstrom-new.bin (up one directory). For all test I booted from a 8GB SDHC card.

android.bin did not allow me to make a phone call, application was as stable as it has been.

android-data.bin allowed me to "place" a phone call although I never had any sound.

angstrom-new.bin booted fine, able to see modem, gps data, per instructions in README.txt. did not set-up to get online.
