Can anyone try this to see if it works for them? I am just trying to get /dev/ttyMSM2 to come up. -Tim

To: [email protected] Hi Android dev person, Here is what I did to try to test this kernel: 1. wget macpod.net/linux/android_temp/1.51serialbootkernel_us.tar.gz <http://macpod.net/linux/android_temp/1.51serialbootkernel_us.tar.gz>2. tar -zxvf 1.51serialbootkernel_us.tar.gz<http://macpod.net/linux/android_temp/1.51serialbootkernel_us.tar.gz> <http://macpod.net/linux/android_temp/1.51serialbootkernel_us.tar.gz>3. cd 1.51serialbootkernel_us 4. Get phone in fastboot mode and run fastboot-mac boot boot.img This should load the custom kernel and reboot the phone into that customer kernel. Then do this: 1. adb root 2. ls /dev/ttyMSM2 Tell me if this shows up for you! If you look at the g1 info screen, what kernel does it say you are using? It should say something like [email protected] try1 I can't get in as root for some reason. Anyway, I would love your help. -Tim ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeffrey Nelson <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 5:57 PM Subject: Re: Dude what is up with the g1 serial stuff?! To: William Heath <[email protected]> The other person contacted me for a kernel too. here it is: macpod.net/linux/android_temp/1.51serialbootkernel_us.tar.gz Make sure you use nandroid to back up your files. What that kernel does is disable the debug console and the the htc accessory pins so you can use the serial for your own needs. There is no API for this so you have to write your own serial communication protocol and apps for both the g1 and the android. What I think would be really useful is if the rxtx java framework was ported for use on the g1 so you could program stuff to interact with the arduino inside of apps. Something else that would be incredibly useful is to port firmata to the g1 I was planning on doing this, but they don't even have it working under regular linux which is really annoying! Oh well! The other person is from Germany I beleive.. I'll see what they are up to if they ever reply.

I just took a robotics class and have an arduino that drives a motor via pwm. I am ready to take it to the next phase with the g1. I seriously appreciate your help. Even if it is a rough draft, I really would like to get that going. I will share it with the community etc... -Tim P.S. Glad to hear your having fun and having fun with your family. Who was the other person who contacted you? Can I help them/you with g1 stuff? On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 8:26 PM, Jeffrey Nelson <[email protected]> wrote: > Yea, I'm ok.
