Re: [maemo-developers] initfs hacking questions
Hi, BTW when editing /linuxrc multiple times it happened to me that I still had 124 blocks free and could remove files but creating/modifying file produced 'no space on device'. Looks like some trouble with jffs2 garbage collecting. This is strange. I wonder whether reboot may fix this? Unfortunately the file I successfully deleted was /linuxrc so I had to reflash. IMHO best would be to re-create the initfs partition image and flash it. Then there's no need for JFFS2 garbage collecting. :-) - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

[maemo-developers] initfs hacking questions
Hello, recently I tried to modify initfs to allow dual booting and got some questions: Is there a way to get code of pressed HW key in /linuxrc script? There is command that waits for keypress. There is also something is sysfs for detecting battery door, shell, headphone jack state but nothing simple for keys. Anything I missed or do I need to compile my own executable? Which scratchbox uclibc toolchain should I use? There are two ones here http://scratchbox.org/download/files/sbox-releases/0.9.8/tarball/ sf (softfloats) and non-sf. What exactly is testserver? initfs is full in IT2006 so I need to delete something. I deleted testserver and its shared libraries and device seems to boot. Is this needed for device operation or it is really for factory testing or something like that so it never gets executed automatically on boot. How do I run those test anyway? Can I distribute hacked initfs? If not, is binary patch OK? Which functionality I loose when dsme is not executed from /linuxrc (battery charging?) Is is a good idea to use cal-tool frequently (i.e on each boot) to set various flags (root device,..)? This get stored to flash, how it is with wear leveling of config partition? Thanks for any answers. Frantisek ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Is this needed for device operation or it is really for factory testing or something like that so it never gets executed automatically on boot. Only for test mode and factory. And you are right: it's a good target to free space =) How do I run those test anyway? Can I distribute hacked initfs? If not, is binary patch OK? Which functionality I loose when dsme is not executed from /linuxrc (battery charging?) WDs kicking, sw watchdog for processes, battery charging, device mode control and backlighting(almost certainly).
