20:56.44immolobhima-  you around?
20:58.49bhimasorta.
21:00.04immoloI was wondering if you knew how well symbian does at emulating
21:01.12bhimaWhat do you mean?
21:03.11immoloI was wondering if symbian was powerful enough to run genesis or gameboy games
21:03.36immologives my ba a rest due to the crappy buttons
21:04.14bhimaWhat sort of Symbian device do you have?
21:04.28bhimahttp://my-symbian.com/7650/download/search.php?name=GoBoy Not sure how good this emulator is.
21:04.41immolo6680 so S60
21:04.52immolo:O ScummVM is ported to it :O
21:05.35immoloand an anti virus program :P
21:06.44bhimaI had somebody sending me trojans once.
21:07.04immolodamn that sucks
21:07.23bhimaIt didn't suck. I just wished I could find him and smack him.
21:07.26immolobut that means symbian is more targeted than ppc
21:07.59immoloas I've never heard of a pocket pc trojan
21:08.52bhimaThere are far more series60 phones than PPC phones.
21:09.17bhimaTrojans are more likely to target s60 than UIQ due to its popularity.
21:10.09immoloI suppose I have only just been noticing them more
21:11.57immololike I've started to notice ppc more since owning my himalaya etc
21:14.43immolowell there is quite a few emulators for the S60
21:27.33bhimasymbian is a real OS, no question about it.
21:30.28immoloI'm liking symbian the more I see of it
21:38.44bhimaHave you seen its APIs?
21:42.13immolonot yet
21:42.52immoloI'm still replacing some of the crap nokia install by  default
21:46.11bhimaSymbian development ain't fun.
21:50.17*** join/#htc-blueangel bwegh (n=bas@p54A31775.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
21:50.24bweghhi all
21:51.23bweghwhat should the linux boot look like?
21:51.48bweghand is linux "only" running on top of windows or is it overwriting the windows memory?
21:52.32bhimaIt wipes your Windows storage space when you boot. WinCE stores most of your data in DRAM.
21:53.00bweghthats what i thought - ok, so what should the boot look like?
21:53.23bweghi have done the simple step in the wiki and saw tux getting warmer ;)
21:53.32immolobhima-  I'll leave stuff like that to you :P anyway what nokia are you working on now?
21:54.18bweghnow i see the output of the kernel, stopping with ser_stuart_gpio_config 1 after starting the portmap
21:54.24bweghwhy cant i see gpe?
21:54.33immoloyou need to ssh in
21:54.41bweghand then?
21:55.04immoloload all the needed modules and pivot_root into the gpe-image
21:55.26bhimaimmolo: An n-gage. Though it just died recently :(
21:55.39bhimashould take ~2 weeks for them to locate a replacement and send it to me.
21:55.54immolocool
21:56.08bhimaI'm hoping to get a 6680 soon.
21:56.16immolothey are nice
21:56.40bweghimmolo: first of all: thanks! ;) and what are the needed modules? and why isnt this done by an init script?
21:56.50immolothe lack of memory is it's main let down
21:57.04bhimaimmolo: lack of memory?
21:57.14immolobwegh-  the ba linux is still in early days
21:57.23immolobhima-  it only has 64mb of mmc
21:57.41immoloand the phone has the same built in
21:57.51bhimaimmolo: so...1gb rs-mmc...problem...solved...?
21:58.15immoloshould come tomorrow
21:58.28immolooh the camera is worse then the ba also
21:58.49bhimaReally? worse than the BA? That's lame.
21:58.55bweghimmolo: which modules do i have to load? or just all i can find?
21:59.30immolothe quaily in viewfinder is much better then the ba but once you take one the image becomes blocky
21:59.38immolojpeg compression maybe
22:00.04immolobwegh-  err check the forum there is a list of all needed modules and the order needed to load in
22:00.16bweghok thanks
22:00.25immolobeen awhile since I've booted linux :P
22:00.46bweghi hope because it is still running?!
22:48.36bweghimmolo: i am unable to find the list of modules to load, you mentioned and i am unable to log into the device, i am getting no usb0 network device although usbnet is loaded
22:55.39bweghcp15: which module and in which order do i have to load on linux for the ba?
23:00.03bweghanyone here willing to help me starting gpe on my ba?
23:15.14cp15bwegh: Still here?
23:16.49bweghyes
23:17.04cp15Do you have any development experience?
23:17.21bweghcp15: i am now connected to the ba by usb - ssh running
23:17.26bweghcp15, yes, some
23:18.03bweghcp15, although not that much in linux :/
23:18.12cp15Maybe you could put the installation procedure in a little script?
23:18.29bweghan init - script?
23:18.45cp15Something like that
23:18.51bweghthats what i wanted to do after this ;)
23:19.01cp15Currently installation works like this:
23:19.19cp15Copy some files to a sd card
23:19.29cp15Boot linux from sd card
23:19.36cp15Save the files from the sd card
23:19.43cp15Repartition the sd card
23:20.01cp15Untar the gpe image on the second partition
23:20.04cp15Patch some files
23:20.07cp15Reboot
23:20.28cp15But it is probably a bit too complicated for the "normal" user
23:20.37bweghhehe
23:20.44bweghi know what you are thinking of
23:21.04cp15Then tell me what I am thinking...
23:21.35bwegha small windows like "fire me and i will run"
23:22.00cp15Yes... Exactly
23:22.27cp15My wish would be a zip file which you can put on the sd card
23:22.36bweghi started with partition the sd and only copyed some files ... like written here: http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngel (simple instruction)
23:23.04cp15Ok, do you want to help with the installation system?
23:23.15bweghsure
23:23.50cp15Because this is now the 3rd to 4th time I am explaining it, and I always requested that the person updates the documentation, but nothing happens
23:24.01cp15I got a bit angry last time...
23:24.27cp15When do you want to go to bed?
23:24.40bweghsounds like it takes some time ...
23:24.45bweghhow long?
23:25.14cp15Well, how much time do you have?
23:25.29cp15Maybe we could start now and continue another day
23:26.19bweghwell i guess a need a sd-card reader / writer - do i?
23:26.28cp15Not necessarily
23:26.43cp15Since you have already booted linux, you can rewrite the sd card from it
23:26.54bweghthen ill have about 3hours
23:27.07cp15Ok, a bit too much for me :-)
23:27.16bweghhehe
23:27.19cp15But lets see that we get at least gpe booted
23:27.34cp15You are prepared to loose the data on your sd card?
23:27.41bweghyes
23:28.04bweghonly two partitions on it - 1 30 mb vfat and 2 900mb ext3
23:28.17cp15Ah, do you have already formatted it?
23:28.38bweghas i said i did the simple steps on the handhelds page
23:28.53bweghi am currently loged into my ba using ssh usbnet
23:28.56cp15I will check... Just a moment
23:30.36cp15Ok, please log the channel or take a look at http://ibot.rikers.org/%23htc-blueangel/ later so you can update the documentation and maybe write a script which makes the live easier
23:31.09bweghok
23:32.06cp15Mount the first partition: mount /dev/mmc/blk0/part1 /boot
23:32.21cp15You get a error message from the mount, ignore it
23:32.43cp15Something about a corrupted free list
23:32.54cp15mkdir /boot/linux
23:33.13bweghno such file or dir
23:33.50cp15Ah... Sorry... You have to mkdir /boot first
23:34.09bweghno /boot is there
23:34.28cp15Ok, now I know... I forgot to tell you to load the drivers
23:34.45cp15modprobe asic3_mmc
23:34.51cp15modprobe mmc_block
23:35.02bweghthats it!
23:35.04cp15then do a cat /proc/partitions to see if the partitions are there
23:35.32bwegh"double free or corruption"
23:35.45cp15Ok, thats the "normal" mount error message
23:35.50bweghok
23:36.31cp15Then download zimage-4 and initrd-4 and haret.exe from the handhelds wiki and copy them into /boot/linux
23:37.56cp15Also download http://familiar.handhelds.org/snapshots/v0.8.3/20050814/gpe-image-h3900-20050814160204.rootfs.tar.bz2 and copy it into /boot/linux
23:38.58bweghwhere are the zimage and the initrd?
23:39.27cp15http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngel
23:39.59cp15About in the middle: "Here are the current kernel and initrds"
23:40.20cp15I can't give you a link since handhelds.org requires a valid referer
23:40.50bweghyes
23:40.57bweghthey are already on my ba
23:41.36bweghand they are running right now, connected with my laptop using usbnet
23:42.02cp15Ok, copy them (together with haret) to /boot/linux/
23:42.10bweghalready done
23:42.18bweghstartup.txt is there. too
23:42.27bweghgpe-image is extracted to part2
23:42.41cp15The gpe-image from handhelds.org?
23:42.46bweghyes
23:43.03bweghwell the one from the blueangel wiki-page
23:43.31cp15It doesn't work too well, remove it from the second partition and use the one I mentioned a few lines above
23:43.38bweghok
23:44.03cp15Unfortunately the tar in the initrd is buggy and doesn't work to extract the image
23:44.03bweghwhere should the second part be mounted
23:44.12cp15mount it under /mnt
23:44.31bweghthere are already /mnt/hda and /mnt/ramfs
23:44.47cp15Just overmount them
23:46.58cp15You have to extract the busybox from the rootfs.tar.gz on your host to be able to unpack the image
23:47.45cp15do a tar -jxvf gpe-image-h3900-20050814160204.rootfs.tar.bz2 ./bin/busybox on your host and then scp ./bin/busybox root@192.168.0.206:/bin/busybox.new
23:48.01cp15Then on the ba a mv /bin/busybox.new /bin/busybox
23:48.23bweghok
23:48.31cp15If you have questions just ask
23:49.00cp15How far are you?
23:53.22bweghcopied the gpe-image to the ba, just extracted the busybox and copy it now
23:54.04cp15Ok, then do a cd /mnt and a tar -jxpvf /mnt/boot/gpe-image-h3900-20050814160204.rootfs.tar.bz2
23:54.27cp15Ah, sorry
23:54.35cp15Ok, then do a cd /mnt and a tar -jxpvf /boot/linux/gpe-image-h3900-20050814160204.rootfs.tar.bz2
23:55.36bweghwell i copied the image to mount
23:55.43bwegh<PROTECTED>
23:55.55bweghso your first was right ;)
23:56.19cp15Does the tar work?
23:57.31bweghyes
23:57.45bweghwhere should the files be? at the second or the first partition?
23:58.05cp15The files from the gpe image should go to the second partition
23:58.16cp15Hopefully currently mounted under /mnt
23:58.26bweghyes, it is
23:58.36cp15Tell me when it is done
23:58.46bweghi will
23:59.41bweghunpacking frambuffer x right now
