how can i erase the flash memory without using the the OS on the 770. With 770 on connect to computer via USB. # mkdosfs -F 16 /dev/sda1 (or sdb1 ...) it tends to be resetting ( refscking ) mmc card. btw. in os 2006 ext2/3 filesystem support is missing, is it to be re-added? also, will there be full-scale mount and losetup tools available with 2006? While using 2005 edition i had several problems using custom built loopback device tools. The filesystem i mounted via loopback device worked well, but when i tended to write there some data, it made 770 reboot. Because of that - i have a question, is fs i/o sync by default?

Re: [maemo-developers] permanet reboot after use of flasher 2.0

I've tried df and I have enought space 50%. I'm not using swap. Can I debug this ? When the reboot happens? 1) before the bootup progressbar is shown, - most likely device HW watchdog reboots the device because there was problem when mounting/writing to the rootfs 2) while the bootup progressbar is advancing, or - most likely device SW watchdog reboots the device because there's a problem with some critical system service (could also be reason 1) 3) after Desktop has fully booted up ??? If 1), you can: - use flasher to set device to boot from MMC. There's -b flasher option to set kernel command line args, and AFAIK MMC is the device /dev/mmcblk0p1. On the MMC you need /sbin/init (might be script?) and environment that somehow allows you to type things. Easiest to achieve latter would probably to have a rescue fs that contains: - busybox - X server from the normal rootfs - matchbox and xkbd/matchbox-keyboard - xterm/rxtvt - some debug tools (gdb, strace etc) so that you can debug things after mounting the internal rootfs and chrooting there Would be nice if people on the list would get this together. (I haven't tested this myself) If 2), you can: - Set following flasher flags: --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags no-lifeguard-reset --enable-usb-host-mode This: - disables device SW watchdog so that it's not rebooted - allows you to establish USB serial connection to the device. People on the list might have URLs to docs on how to do this If 3), debugging should be piece of cake ;-) I thing that must be something with contact/email application because before reboot each time contact information on main screen finished to be writen. - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

[maemo-developers] Kernel 2.6.16 menuconfig...
... does not work for me because ncurses does not get linked. The linker flags are created in kernel-source-2.6.16/scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh The script tries to find the right lib to link by calling gcc -print-file-name= On my Debian/testing host this works, but in my Scratchbox/Maemo2b enviroment these tests come up emtpy. ncurses IS installed though, since I can link it manually and also menuconfig works for kernel 2.6.12. In fact I got 2.6.16 menuconfig to work by just shortcutting the test in the script to echoing -lncurses. It was suggested here (http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0604.0/0050.html) that the problem might be due to wrong symlinks, but they looked okay to me (ie exactly as on the Debian host except for the w variants). cheers, Christian ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Was there really alsa to DSP audio driver in kernel in IT2005? I'll answer that question in a few hours when I rebuild the Maemo 1.1 scratchbox and try building and running aplayer. I've just reflashed to 1.1 (oh how I miss IT2006 already :)) and note that the /proc/ asounds directory has a subdir card0 with a symlink Dummy - card0. Inside card0 is a device file id which just returns dummy. So at this stage I'm not sure if that indicates there is or isn't an Alsa driver present. What I do know is that the documentation (http://www.maemo.org/ platform/docs/multimedia/multimedia_architecture.html) explicitly states that Alsa is supported and seems to discourage one from using ESD. I've looked into Gstreamer but quickly got bogged down in the complexity and it isn't obvious if it is even possible to get it working in the way I need (basically, playing midi notes - ideally with soundfont support) without developing a plugin. I could go down the SDL path as an alternative but given I use a library that supports Alsa (Fluidsynth) and the Maemo multimedia documentation says that it supports Alsa then I'm naive enough to believe it should be possible :) Don't get me wrong - I love the 770 and think that it is a great device. I'm just a bit frustrated at the moment with the quality of the available documentation (I can live with missing documentation, I find incorrect documentation a little harder to deal with). In any case, I appreciate your input. Steve ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Re: [maemo-developers] Alsa on IT2006 beta
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Look for my earlier post to the list. Summary: the 770 kernel is linux-2.6.16-omap1 which does have generic ALSA, but not specific support for the 770. There was a patch posted to the linux-omap-open-source list which was supposed to enable the AIC23 ALSA driver for the 770. I buillt a kernel with that patch and installed it on my 770.I did get it to make sound, but it was not at the right speed, so I think the driver would need some work. As far I can tell, the 2.0 beta definitely does not provide ALSA support for the built-in sound. - -- Buck Steve Landers wrote: G'day, I'm currently porting a Fluidsynth based program to the n770 and notice that the Alsa driver appears to be missing from IT2006 beta.

[maemo-developers] problems compiling C++ code on Maemo 2
I am trying to build armel AbiWord package for Maemo2, but the linker bails out for reasons I do not understand. The exact error message is as follows: ../../../../src/text/fmt/xp/libFmt.a(fv_View.o): In function `~AV_Listener':../../../../src/af/util/xp/ut_string_class.h:55: multiple definition of `UT_GenericStringMapchar*::_key(UT_GenericStringMapchar*::UT_Cursor) const::bad' ../../../../src/wp/impexp/libImpExp.a(ie_imp_PasteListener.o):../../../../src/af/util/xp/ut_string_class.h:55: first defined here The odd thing is that ~AV_Listerner() is a NOP virtual destructor, so it makes no use of UT_GenericStringMapchar*, and ut_string_class.h:55 contains yet another NOP virtual destructor, but the class is unrelated to UT_GenericStringMapchar* either. The code builds fine both with gcc and MSVC, and used to with the Maemo1 toolchain, so I suspect this is a bug in the toolchain, but hoping there might be some workaround -- if any of the C++ gurus here would have any suggestions, it would be much appreciated.
