Hello everyone:
I would like to know about people using PGUI on helio, on May Day I got some
issues solved and my Phase-I just needs connectivity, the zmodem protocol
works on speeds upto 19200 but this kernel source does not let me turn it
down from 115200 :(
anyways:
--------------------------------
1. shell on serial console
the inittab:
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS
ttyS0::askfirst:/bin/sh
BUT:
the rcS:
while true
do pgserver ....
done
therefore the second line of inittab will never be achieved:
remove these lines from rcS and insert into inittab:
tty4::respawn:/etc/init.d/xsession
where xsession:
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/bin
pgserver -ir3912ts -t /usr/lib/lcdmono.th omnibar &
sleep 2
now we have a shell on the serial port, you can use the #date command to set
the date (do not use -s switch)
--------------------------
2. virtual keyboard
actually I did a not-so-virtual keyboard
thanks for the great hint from Micah about silkscreen button mapping, and I
did not want to waste one fourth of the screen for the keyboard when I know
that hand writting recognition will not be there until long.
so I printed out a FITALY layout keyboard on a paper and attached it between
the silkscreen buttons on the touch panel, and dispatched key events
accordingly this saves a lot of screen area.
I will need to find out the copyright status of FITALY layout and / or will
allow a keymap file where you can create your own layout in the file and
print out your own layout ;) if copyright is not an issue I'll send out the
code, and the dynamic version on Sunday.
--------------------------
If someone can send me a binary of pppd for mips (helio) which is required
by kernel 2.4.0 test1-ac22 I can try that out too. That will conclude
phase-I, meanwhile I start work on a CSV (spreadsheet) viewer and we can use
minicom to sync text data.
regards,
-tasnim
