Guenter & Bob,

Thanks for your help with this one.  I forget that there's a framework
in place to do specific tasks before a suspend or resume - it's all
quite elegantly-designed really, and I just need to have a poke around
with the scripts and figure out how to use it - that's the fun of Linux,
eh?

Subject: [Angstrom-distro-users] Trouble loading Angstrom on NSLU2
Message-ID: <48A266E1.8080100@bytality.com>

I picked up an NSLU2 USB NAS device and wanted to put Angstrom on it 
because some of the reading I did suggested it was best with floating 
point calculations.  The goal is to use it as a simple, dedicated, low 
power  rsync server for offsite backups.

I'm having trouble getting it working.  I upload the firmware to the 
unit, and it returns successful, however I can't telnet or SSH to the 
unit.  I can see it pop up on my router's DHCP list as it pulls an IP 
address, but it only leases an IP for 60 seconds before letting it go.  
I don't know how to connect to the unit to figure out if it's running or 
not.  The indicator lights flash and look OK, but it seems like 
nothing's running since I can't connect to it whatsoever.    I ping the 
IP the DHCP has given it and I get no replies.   Telnet just times out 
as does SSH. 

Can anyone running Angstrom on their NSLU2 give me any tips on getting 
angstrom up and running?  I've found little to nothing on details.  I'll 
happily update the wiki with my experiences once I figure it out.

-Scott

Hi all,

	I know that Familiar supports this keyboard as per

http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqHx4700FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-b5ae21af7b388fd2a85e1c6ce73b726e516e1fba


,but has anyone here used this keyboard with Angstrom, and if so, does
the driver support the pressing of two buttons simulaniosly (e.g.  shift
l to get a capital L).

The reason for the last question is because of this review I read that
said that the keyboard did not do this, but if this was a driver problem
then it might be that the Linux driver mayn't have had the same problem.
If this was mended then which version of kbdd was it mended in?

Review is here:
http://www.techdis.ac.uk/index.php?p=9_5_20050212091247_20061502010239#flex

And one more for the Palm version is here:

Hi,

1)	Is there somewhere I can download the GPE programmes (e.g firefox)
from in one big tarball or something similar for the hx4700?

I looked in
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/releases/2007.12/images/hx4700/

but this contains only the files one requires to create the initial
install and get Angstrom up and running.

The reason I want to find these files is because I don't have the wifi
running yet (I won't elaborate) and will transfer the files over from a
CF card between the two computers.

2) Does anyone know of a network manager available for GPE that I could
use to connect to a wireless network.  I have tried this through the
shell but never managed it which is the reason why I ask for a
network-manager type GUI.

You said you won't elaborate, but you may have had the same problems
others have.  I had to set up the network, and then make an init script
that would modprobe hx4700_acx and modprobe acx when the device boots or
wakes up from sleep.  Rebooting after the first time setup also seemed
to be required, although it seems as if there should be a way to create
the same state without rebooting.  This is Linux, after all :)

network-manager does lots of different things for you, but if you just
want a GUI to set up the wireless network, Settings -> Network Setup
should do the trick.

This won't achieve my aim because I want to copy all onto a CF card, and
clicking on each ipkg and then downloading would take me three hours of
clicking, and this won't happen.

However, I found this place I ought to be able to wget all the files from,

I have modprobed the acx acx_hx4700 and the blue LED comes on I can scan
the network with iwlist wlan0 scan. However, I can never connect (bear
in mind I have been trying ever since the two modules were released,
which is over a year now, so you can safely conclude that this is a user
error.) ifconfig wlan0 inet n.n.n.n and so on never allows me to connect
~ although the accesspoints all use DHCP...  This is why I would like to
use a network-manager type device.  The Network Setup wizard/GUI has
never worked with me which is why I am looking for an alternative.

PS. My init script : /etc/rc3.d/S100wlan0 contains two lines:

modprobe acx
modprobe hx4700_acx

I won't run when I boot the device and the permissions are 755.  Running
it afterwards brings up the interfaces, so its not the script.  Its not
a big deal to be honest.

Try this...

Create /etc/init.d/kick_network:

#!/bin/sh
case "${1:-''}" in
~    'start')
	ifdown wlan0
	modprobe hx4700_acx
	modprobe acx
	/etc/init.d/networking restart
	ifup wlan0
	;;
~    'stop')
	ifdown wlan0
	/etc/init.d/networking stop
	;;
~    *)
~    	echo "Usage: $0 start|stop"
	exit 1
	;;

esac

Then run:

update-rc.d kick_network defaults 41

Then reboot.  It should work then.

Subject: [Angstrom-distro-users] first steps with the ipaq hx4700
Message-ID: <48A85C08.4080403@gmail.com>

Hi all, I got angstrom working with the loopback boot method
(2 files on the SD card, in WinCE tap on the boot executable and off
I go, as per the manual)

The manual instructs you to do an ipkg upgrade. I'm unclear about
if this works for such a loopback method.
as fr as I (think) I understand the file system is copied out of the
file into ram, and next boot again. how are things written back
in this file system ?
and another puzzle for a newbie : if a new kernel is downloaded,
can I somehow generate a new bootable executable from that ?
I cannot even find the SD card in Angstrom.

does someone have a few pointers to the boot process for embedded
systems like my ipaq, and this loopback boot concept.

sorry to bother you but i'm confused...

Regards,
Ronald

I shall give the script a try. I had not realised that there was an

I read somewhere a line that could be added somewhere that would remove
and then modprobe again the two devices after a suspend and resume.

I had a quick Google and found this for Familiar. I wonder if anything
has to be changed for Angstrom?

Subject: [Angstrom-distro-users] Angstrom 2007.12 + etrex gps on Zaurus c&50
Message-ID: <20080817190136.GA29027@lupin.selfip.net>

Hello everybody

I am trying to connect my Garmin etrex legend gps (old model) with my Zaurus
C750 that runs Angstrom 2007.12.
I have an original Sharp serial cable and the etrex cable. Both are 9-pin
female so I use a gender changer in between (I do not know if the gender
changer crosses wires, but I do not think so).
I believe I have used the gps with OZ but I am not 100% sure (it's been so much
time ago).

I start the gpsd on port /dev/ttyS0 (gpsd -D2 -N /dev/ttyS0) and gpsd reports
...
gpsd: opening GPS data source at '/dev/ttyS0'
gpsd: speed 115200, 8N1
gpsd: garmin_gps not active.
gpsd: gpsd_activate(0): opened GPS (5)

but no data come out of the serial device (and 115200, 8N1 is wrong, it should
be autoconfigured to 4800 8N1).
So, searching for info on the serial port I have found the following:
- I commented out the console line in /etc/inittab
  #S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 115200 ttyS0                                                                               
- dmesg reports however
<6>pxa2xx-uart.0: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x40100000 (irq = 22) is a FFUART
<6>console [ttyS0] enabled

- setserial reports
/dev/ttyS0, UART: undefined, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 22

- and I cannot change anything with setserial (e.g., autoconfig), I always get:
Cannot set serial info: Invalid argument

I tried other ports but the result is the same. I tried also modprobbing
serial_cs and I get:
<6>Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
but again no data flow from the serial port.

I have check the gpe serial port configuration applet and "Port A" and checked
"Nothing (free)". "fuser /dev/ttyS0" does not report anything.
The gps is functional and configured to send NMEA output.

I would be grateful for any help. Let me know if you need more information.

I don't need to rmmod on my hx4700 running Angstrom 2007.12, just
re-modprobe.

Well, the original ?Sharp CE-170TS serial cable is poorly designed and
makes non-trivial assumptions on the serial port it connects to.
There is no voltage convertor, and for some pins even no protection
(wiring CPU GPIO pin directly to the cable):
http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus/photos#ce-170ts

If the opposite serial cable has the same poor design, then it will not
work - each one expects to get +-12V juice from the opposite.

In my test it worked with computer serial port and analog modem, but did
not work with mobile phone cable, GPS and cheap usb-to-serial
convertors.

There are three chances:

?- If you have anything older than SL-Cxx00, you can try third party
Z-Thincable serial. They may work better with SL-Cxxx and SL-5500, but
they don't work with SL-Cxx00.

- If the opposite device uses 3.3V-TTL serial levels, you can create a
custom cable without voltage convertors. You will still need invertors
for TxD and RxD lines, because Sharp inverts its levels for historical
reasons (or you can try to knock-out the invertor inside Zaurus).

?- Design a real fully RS-232 conforming serial cable. It needs just
connectors, two 3.3V-TTL invertors and a 3.3V powered 3.3V-TTL<->RS-232
chip.

Designing a fully featured serial cable working with SL-Cxx00 is in my
TODO list, but don't expect any output soon. I can provide all
information I have (plus my order) to anybody, who wants to design it.

I tried this last night but luckily forgot to change the permissions to
executable because when I ran it manually it resulted in a segmentation
fault and all programmes to hanged from there onwards.  A reboot solved
this. (e.g /etc/init.d/kick_network start).

Will try and copy the output here this evening.

I downloaded all the files from
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv5te/base/

However, I would like to use ipkg to update and upgrade from this list.
Is there a command line way of doing this instead of using the
/etc/pkg.conf file. If not, then what would the format be for a local
install:

e.g
src	myloaddir	/media/sdcard1

Just to be clear, the tildes (~) aren't part of the script; they are a
side-effect of the copy&paste.  I run the script all the time, and it
gives me no trouble, so if you edited out the tildes, I'm not sure what
the problem could be.

Got it.  The script works fine. Cheers.

You mentioned that the Network Setup would help me, but it does not want
to.  I cannot see how I can get it to retrieve a list of wireless
networks to connect to and then select one; Something akin to
'iwlist wlan0 scan'.

The reason I ask for this is that I am unable to use the virtual
keyboard to prod in the ESSIDs.  The wireless networks around here tend
to have long names like YachtConnectLL1 and I am incapable of typing
these names hence the desire for a Network Manager GUI where I can
select the names, and connect.

Cheers, S.

Aha.  I'm not sure whether or not iwlist is available as a bitbake
recipe (.bb file) in the Angstrom build tree (can't get to my build
machine at the moment).  If it is, you can build it.  You could also see
if network-manager is available as a recipe.  If you follow the
instructions at the link I provided in my first reply, it should be the
easiest way to accomplish this.  You can search for files ending in
'.bb' to see what's available.

My guess is that iwlist will be there, but I'm not sure about Network
Manager.

Hi all,	

I installed thttpd last night and ran a ipkg update / ipkg upgrade from
the local http server.

After the upgrade, I installed firefox, the epiphany replacement, all
the ieee802-crtpt libs, wpa-suppliments, and a QT GUI that looked like
it might be useful for network-management. (I have GPE installed so prb
won't work).  Also, installed the real wget cpio and file.

I rebooted and the windows environment did not load. Instead there is a
console login for tty1 and of course no keyboard to type into.

I remember during the upgrade I read messages about something unable to
configure something to do with freedesktop, but cannot recall the exact
error message.

So long as the networking over usb0 still works I ought to log in this
evening.

Based on the small and diluted information I have provided would someone
know what went wrong?

Regards, S.

Hi Ronald, I installed angstrom in a secondary ext2 partition in and
SD card and use haret to boot linux from wmobile. This way you can
make any change to the filesystem.

There's your problem :)  Search the archives for a post from Guenter
Resch "Re: [Angstrom-distro-users] hx4700 won't boot after ipkg upgrade"
where he posts a script to handle upgrades.  Basically, kernel and
kernel module upgrades fail on the hx4700 with Angstrom 2007.12, and
nobody's fixed it as far as I know, but Guenter has a workaround.

Cheers Bob.

I looked at the script,

http://www.mail-archive.com/angstrom-distro-users at linuxtogo.org/msg01889.html

and noted his was about the system hanging on the splash screen. Mine
does not hang per se.  It drops into tty1 on the screen.  Is this the
cause the same problem addressed in the above link?

Even though the symptoms are different, I suspect the same root cause.
I don't know any hx4700 owner who was able to do ipkg update && ipkg
upgrade and end up with a working PDA.

That is probably the least frustrating way.  Flashing should only take

Yup - I have just finished flashing the kernel & root filesystem, and
now await its return as I write this note.

The update is complete and I have run the script that says that it
avoids the kernel patches.  The hx4700 has rebooted and is unhappy.  It
sits at the tty1 terminal screen.  This means that the script does _not_
work on my unit.  I presume that it worked on others.  USB networking
comes up and I can ssh into the unit.

I have the list of ipkg list_installed and it is attached. Its a text
file that ought to be inoffensive to readers. [ipkg_installed_hx4700.txt]

I did come across these errors/warning during the upgrade and wonder if
anyone would comment as these might be pertinent to the loss of the GUI.
What package is the libdbus-1.so.3 library in?  A package would like it.

Just to note:  Afore I ran the upgrade, I had previously installed thttp
and libc6 which was a requirement for the thttp programme.  I rebooted
after this to make sure all was well, and it was at the time.  I don't
know if libc6 would have caused some problems later.

Thank you for your answer Stanislav.

I don't think I can justify to myself the cost of buying a ZThinCable or
building one. I was hoping that the problem was softwre-related
(especially since I am pretty sure that I had this working with OZ some years
ago).

Message-ID: <2f8cbffc0808231134q30f295abuaf3de2be7650edf8@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if the Spitz is still being maintained? I'm just
wondering as when I reinstalled mine today, I noticed the builds haven't
been updated since March.

Also, I use a Davicom DM9601 USB Network adapter, and there isn't any kernel
support for it (which I understood there should be from 2.6.21). I've spent
a day researching and have finally got a build enviro going so I'm trying to
build my own modules, again tho, most other machines have a module available
in the package browser but not Spitz.

If anyone can let me know the status I'd appriciate it, thanks,

Bon

Well, there is no mentor just now. But there are several people, which
are still interested in it.

You can try my oe.dev build at:
http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus/software

They are based on oe.dev, either without any change or with minor
experimanetal changes described in the feed.

If it is in the mainline kernel, it should be possible (and easy) to add
it to the defconfig.

Hi Stanislav,

Thanks for getting back to me. I've only just had time today to spend all
day getting an OE build enviroment running, so thats all new to me. I've
been hacking about at getting that far for about a year on and off!!

I've got oe.dev down and will set that off on a compile over night, to see
what happens, just out of interest. I've also been daring enough to try
creating a .bb file for a DM960 driver I found sources for. That might be a
start! I'll definatly take a look at your build also tho, as I'd really like
to spend a few weekends now getting my Zau back into a useful state.

In answer to adding something to defconfig? Easy? It's takne me about a year
to get the time just to get bitbake and OE working! Define 'Easy' for me!!!

Cheers, speak soon,

Bon

You don't need new bb file, only kernel config change. Feel free to test
it from my feed. I just added the driver module you need to the feed
as well as to the oe.dev kernel configuration source (for all
devices that support USB host).

One line change. I am not writing about the time to
learn the stuff.

I think I found it. I did a find|grep spitz and looked for defconf
That gave me a kernel config file, which I then started to mess about in
with vim. I'm really hoping that the edits stay in place when I kick off a
build in a bit.
I must say thanks for the pointer tho! Gave me a clue to where to start
looking!

I like hacking about, it's how I learned about Linux since I first *actually
brought* SuSE 7.1 and started playing. Now I don't have anything MS in the
house or at work (apart from the studio desk I have to work at, ONE DAY they
must compile Dalet for Linux!!)

I just wish Angstrom/OE was easier to get into. As  I've messed about, I
sort of wonder what the point of bitbake is? It's bloody awful to configure,
and took me a day to get sorted. That was hacking about in files, and doing
nasty things! Avg Joe would walk off in a secoond. Hence we are desperate
for developers!

Has anyone had any success running Angstrom under qemu? I wonder if it could
be easier to install Angstrom as a qemu graphical enviro on a faster
machine? Then use point&shoot tools to compile in a 'native' envrio which
looks like the machine that's ur target? Then just lob ova the files u
actually need to the target machine?

Yes. But you will see conflict during the next mtn up. I did the same in
org.openebedded.dev.

You are welcome.

Hint:

If you seek for a feature and you know the project, which provides it
(in this case Linux kernel), a good start point is searching for some
smart string in the sources (and then oe.dev packages/ directory).

In this case you would find .config file in the tmp/work/*/linux-rp-*
build directory. Then you would probably find that recipe in
org.openembedded.dev/packages/linux overwrites it by device specific
defconfig file, so you have to edit oe.dev sources.

If I am totally helpless, I am trying to search for some smart string in
the whole /OE directory, oe.dev sources or tmp/work build directory. It
takes a bit long time, but it seems to be an effective method.

Well, playing with openSuSE is my profession.

Bitbake is a compilation tool, which understands the oe.dev recipe set.
Thank to bitbake, adding a kernel module package means one line of
change in the defconfig file. Bitbake will care the rest - compile the
kernel, package the module as a separate package, put it to the
repository structure.

If you have ideas, how to simplify build setup, then you can join
openembedded-devel list and discuss it there.

I guess that Andrzej Zaborowski did it. He wrote most of the spitz
emulation code. But I am afraid that it was not properly merged into
upstream qemu-0.9.1.

I also seen several threads on the web trying it. I guess that you would
need full NAND + PROM images. With current kernel, you can read NAND,
but not PROM (nobody yet fixed the PROM partitioning - partition named
Boot surprisingly does not contain the PROM bootloader, but the EN-JP
dictionary database, which occupies the rest of the PROM). The fix would
need to fix few lines in the? partitioning table hardwired in the
kernel.
?
But for example since qemu-0.8.x, emacs lisp compilation successfully
crashes qemu during oe.dev build.

Subject: [Angstrom-distro-users] I still unable to boot Amstrong PLEASE HELP!
Message-ID: <48B16B33.9090606@gmail.com>

Hello people, I still unable to boot Amstrong from internal flash, also 
I try to boot from a EMPTY SD without success.
Please HELP I LIKE to use amstrong on my IPAQ 2215

Familiar linux boots FINE on SD or internal FLASH but amstrong images 
only give me black images.

On SD the steps are:
[insert the SD card]
[format it]
     sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdc1
[mount the SD]
[unpack the fs]
     sudo tar -xpf /home/meduza/PDA/amstrong-opie-image-h2200.tar.gz -C 
/media/SD
[unmount the SD]

insert the card on the ipaq and try to boot it, after the LAB screen I 
only got a black screen.

NOW using the internal FLASH:

I use a SD with a WORKING Familiar Linux, with mtd3 tools and the jffs2 
image, after boot I open a terminal and:

1. modprobe mtd3char
2. flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd3
3. nandwrite /dev/mtd3 
Angstrom-minimalist-gpe-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r18-h2200.rootfs.jffs2 
<http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/h2200/Angstrom-minimalist-gpe-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r18-h2200.rootfs.jffs2>

after that I reboot, remove the SD and ...... Black screen

What is missing, where is my error?
there someone here able to boot amstrong on the ipaq 2215?
why familiar linux work fine and amstrong only give black screens?

please I really need help here :(

there was a zaurus emulator, was released for free for non-commercial
purposes. I think the company who wrote it went on to focus on other
arm projects, but copies are still around if you look. AIUI, its main
purpose was to allow people to test apps without trashing their
zauruses.

Did you try using haret and an ext2 partition on an SD card? I use
Angstrom this way on an hx4700 and it works.

Did you create a "labrun" file in the boot directory on the card? I didn't see 
that in your list of steps. For booting from SD the file should contain the 
following:

copy fs:/mnt/boot/zImage fs:/zImage
umount /mnt
armboot fs:/zImage "root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootdelay=5"

I can assure you that if you do this properly it will work - I have an h2200 
here myself.

> NOW using the internal FLASH:

For the internal flash, Angstrom doesn't build the required mtd support into 
the kernel. I don't know why this is, but that is why that will not work.

Paul

Hi All,

Ok, managed to get most of the images to start to compile (or it seemed to)
using the commands "bitbake base-image ; bitbake console-image ; bitbake
x11-image" as suggested in the wiki. Had to edit a bb recipe to get it to go
properly, but that was with source location. That a kernel patch file on the
debian servers that had moved.

Now tho, when it gets to putting the images together I get these errors :

I've tried looking in the great Google God for some clues, but not much
there. A few people have had this error, but there is no help on solving it.
As this is now testing my sanity, can anyone suggest what might be happening
please?
Also, as this is not menioned in the wiki, will this result in a hdimage.tgz
and a zImage.bin that I can stick on the SL-C3000 when it works?

Thanks for any help, and for support so far,

Bon

Strange, I did not see this problem few days ago. (But I see the same
problem when I try to compile gammu.)

Easy hack: Go to mentioned directory, edit mentioned .la file and
manually edit the file. Package will be still broken a bit, but QA will
shut up and will allow you to continue the build.

Correct fix: Find a place of code, where build path is embedded into the
file and create a fix or work-around, then add it as a patch to the
packages/ (and send upstream, if appropriate).

Copy it to the card (properly named) altogether with gnu-tar and
zaurus-updater, then use the Japanese "OK button" menu.

Hi Stanislav,

I'm looking at the .la file (following your quick hack method until I am
more confident) but can't see anything in particular wrong. I'm using
working .la files as a reference, and checking paths everything seems valid.


Is there something I should be specifically looking at?

Thanks,

Bon

References to the build root (in your case "/home/bon/OE") are invalid.
You should have probably something like "/usr/lib/libfoo.la" there
instead.

Thanks for your help on this mate, appriciate it!

I get what you mean about the build root, but thats valid as far as I can
tell. Here's a portion of the libncurses.la file :

# The name that we can dlopen(3).
dlname='libncurses.so.5'

# Names of this library.
library_names='libncurses.so.5.0.4 libncurses.so.5 libncurses.so'

# The name of the static archive.
old_library='libncurses.a'

# Linker flags that can not go in dependency_libs.
inherited_linker_flags=''

# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs='
-L/home/bon/OE/angstrom-tmp/work/armv5te-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/ncurses-5.4-r15/ncurses-5.4/lib'

# Names of additional weak libraries provided by this library
weak_library_names=''

# Version information for libncurses.
current=5
age=0
revision=4

# Is this an already installed library?
installed=no

# Should we warn about portability when linking against -modules?
shouldnotlink=no

# Files to dlopen/dlpreopen
dlopen=''
dlpreopen=''

# Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
libdir='/usr/lib'

The libdir is fine as far as I can tell, and looking at the dependency libs,
they match other .la files that get thru the sanity check. Is there not a
log file related to the build that I can search in for more specific errors?
Just failing a sanity check doesn't really help me much in finding out whats
going wrong!

Thanks

Bon

It should be most probably:
dependency_libs='-L/usr/lib'
or maybe even simply:
dependency_libs=''

Real fix would require deeper insight into libtool and automake.
Basically, libtool has a concept of installed (libraries already in
correct place) and uninstalled libraries (libraries in a different place
that there will be in the system). If it mistakenly gets a reference to
uninstalled library marked as installed, it embeds its complete path and
causes mentioned error. Even for correctly written package, the
mechanism is not bullet-proof in case of compilation and sysroot and
sometimes needs additional patches.

The quick hack (edit it manually) will allow you to continue, but
generated -dev package will be broken. You still have a good change,
that all other things will work.

Message-ID: <EB7D87CE20E1EA4EA6E0EBA9682EA8C2EBB5B1@EVS2.aeroflex.corp>

Greetings,

I have a TI OMAP3530 Beagleboard and would like to get the Angstrom
Beagleboard demo loaded onto an SD Card.  I have formatted a 2GB SD Card
as per the LinuxBootDiskFormat instructions at:

http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/LinuxBootDiskFormat

I have copied the uImage, MLO, and u-boot.bin files onto the FAT32
partition, but I'm not sure what to do with x-load.bit.ift and the
Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-image...rootfs.tar.bz2 files.

It would be helpful to have a couple extra instructions on the
LinuxBootDiskFormat page on how to copy the necessary files onto the SD
Card.
 
Thanks!
Michael

I did only notice now the bug....

it looks exactly like the (ignored) issue I reported here:

http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angstrom-distro-devel/2008-July/002416.html

My solution is *not* to follow the 'building-angstrom' instructions

Well, don't follow it as well and use the version from the mtn
repository only with a minimal changes (I don't set TMPDIR). Maybe
setting TMPDIR triggers more QA errors caused by build dir traces.

Here are important parts (in fact I set a bit more to better fit to my
machine configuration):

You need to untar it as as root to the second partition, e.g:

sudo tar xjf rootfs.tar.bz2 -C /mount/point/to/sd/partition2

Koen, 

Thanks for the help, that was the bit of information I was missing.  I
downloaded the latest rootfs.tar.bz2 file:

 
Angstrom-Beagleboard-demo-image-glibc-ipk-2008.1-test-20080823-beagleboa
rd.rootfs.tar.bz2

and put that onto the second partition.  I am having some stability
issues with some of the applications once Angstrom boots up.  The system
crashes hard when I attempt to play an MP3 file with XMMS or when I try
to open AbiWord.  The console shows "*** GPTIMER missed match
interrupt!", does a kernel dump and the halts with a kernel panic.
Firefox and Gnumeric seem to come up okay.  But those issues aside, this
is a great Linux port and is an impressive demo for the little
beagleboard.
 
Thanks again,

Michael

Hey Folks,

Thanks for your assistance again! I've been @ work till 1400 (CET) then read
what you both suggested, and applied it. Build is still going, so will see
what happens, and keep you posted!

At the moment, I'm wondering, if t's this difficult to get a HowTo right,
how can Angstrom go on further?
I'm putting hours into this, because it sounds like a good project. As I
learn more, I hear people reporting bugs that are ignored? Software requests
never noticed? Or just overlooked?

Firefox on Angstrom? Brilliant! The guy can build it, many others would like
to bring ideas in, but if we can't get the basics right, how will this help?

My impression at the moment is the Dev's are just doing what they like and
ignore the actual userbase. Well, I'll re-phrase that, 'potential' userbase.

PUT the brakes on. What do we need? First, good USB support. Drop all the
kernel drivers u like, but keep everything net/usb/cf/sd related. I'm
building here (or trying to) to get a basic kernel USB NET driver working.
Think about the devices, drop the stuff u don't need, and put the rest in.

A device needs email, contacts, some basic word processing, maybe a
spreadsheet, Mutimedia, PDF viewer, and what else? I'm seeing a tonne of
stuff in the repo that DOES NOT NEED TO BE THERE!!!

Strip Angstrom down, clear out the rubbish (Asterisk? Who needs that in the
feeds?) and get back to basics. The Dev's seem deaf to users, I've asked for
help and the Users list is more assistance than Dev's.

Can I plug my mobile phone into my Zau and connect easilly? Can I Hell!

My impression at the moment is the Angstrom Dev's have to wake up, and FAST,
or this is another dead project. Very soon.

In the mean time, to all the user support, thanks

Bon

Hi all,

	I partially agree with you but I think the calendar / address book and
most other PDA functionality are there.

I think these additions are welcome in order of importance :

A WIRELESS Network Manager :   that scans the wireless NIC and allows
one to connect to it.  iwscan wlan0 list ; iwconfig wlan0 essid and so
on is so painful on the virtual keyboard that I stopped doing it.  I
gave up.  For the time being I won't use the wireless network; and after
all the pain someone went through to get the wifi to work on the hx4700!).

Email:  Sylpheed, although I have never managed to get this to work
either on Familar or even Windows XP. (Get-All messages does nowt).
http://lwn.net/Articles/149030/

CF:  I would like to see device drivers for all the CF cards ready in
the standard feeds like CF-GPRS/ CF-Ethernet and so on.

Browser:  No problem there. Either Firefox of Epiphany <spelling?) are
available. Although, I would like to see a slim downed Opera.

Skype:  Well, yes. Closed source. I won't count on this one for a long
long time ;)

Hi All,

I've followed the suggestions so far on solving these QA issues I'm
encountering, but still no success. After editing the local.conf file, which
was suggested might solve it I'm getting exactly the same errors. Here's the
output :
