Re: Uboot
I had this problem when I put obexftp into the startup for my bluez. Turns out it doesn't auto-background, so it was hanging there just after the startup. Happily, I was able to ssh in, fix it, and kill the obexftp to let it start up normal. Can you ssh in via USB still? If so look at the last started process before your shell and see if it's hung. The process '/bin/ash /etc/rc5.d/S98qpe start' is constantly in the process list, so it looks like that's where it's hanging. If I kill this and restart it, it hangs again at the command-line as well until I ^C it. What is it about the most recent updates that could have caused this?

Can't Boot Qtopia from microSD
Hi,
If someone has Qtopia (or any other distro, for that matter) booting
from microSD, I'd appreciate very step-by-step instructions, because it
is not working for me and I have poured over the wiki's various pages
related to this. Here's what I've done:
1. Partitioned my 8GB microSD card thus:
partition1: FAT32
partition2: ext2
partition3: ext2
partition4: ext2
each partition is roughly 2GB.
2. partition2 is where I want to put Qtopia.
After formatting it ext2 and mounting the partition, I did:
wget http://qtopia.net/downloads/neo/qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-flash-07221045.tgz
tar zvxf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-flash-07221045.tgz
mv uImage*.bin uImage.bin
I changed the kernel name based on something I read stating it had to be
called uImage.bin (is that wrong?)
3. I upgraded my NAND U-boot to a post-July 23 version. I think I have
the August 5 version now.
4. I edited by NAND U-boot menu to include:
setenv menu_9 Boot from microSD part2 (ext2+ext2): setenv bootargs
\${bootargs_base} rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5
\${mtdparts} ro\; mmcinit\; ext2load mmc 1 0x3200
\${sd_image_name}\; bootm 0x3200
5. I try to boot from that new NAND U-boot option and while the error
page goes away so fast I cannot really read it, by doing it dozens of
times, I think it cannot even mount the ext2 partition, and thus cannot
find a kernel image. I get shot back to the U-boot menu right away.
Thanks for any help. If I figure all this out, there is going to be a
single crystal clear wiki page on this when I get done.
Brian

It needs to match whatever you called it on the kernel commandline in
U-Boot, our ones use uImage.bin.

Great.

| \${mtdparts} ro\; mmcinit\; ext2load mmc 1 0x3200
| \${sd_image_name}\; bootm 0x3200
Ignoring the menu stuff for a moment, here is a canned one liner to do
something like what you want
setenv bootcmd mmcinit \; ext2load mmc 2 0x3200 uImage.bin \;
setenv bootargs \${mtdparts} rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
console=ttySAC2,115200 loglevel=4 init=/sbin/init \; bootm 0x3200 ; boot
Notice on ext2load the first number is the partition index it should
use, counting from 1.

Yes, there is another way to get this issue unfortunately too. We moved ~ USB over Ethernet support on the Freerunner into a module. But, it's commonly written around that folks should update their kernel by DFU. This was never a good idea for a modular kernel (it does nothing to update the modules) and now it's a really bad idea. If you update your kernel by the packaging from inside the Freerunner it won't make this problem as it updates the modules at the same time (now, anyway, there were other problems with that method until recently). If that's what's happened (try the Uboot update first though because that fits the symptom as well) best plan is nuke these guys on your device (kernel + matching rootfs) with dfu http://buildhost.openmoko.org/releases/Freerunner/ and start over. - -Andy -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkiZeFoACgkQOjLpvpq7dMqUXACcC7xnLGScuoq5b0RTmmwdZ79y 3hsAnRFCyGb9feZAtNUzDLKPDqmfD28J =mbCO -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Re: Debian - How to install the kernel
I tried copying the existing OM2008.8 kernel from /boot to /media/card/boot . This allowed the Freerunner to 'boot from MicroSD' into the Debian shell. However, USB networking is not working. I recall it being a module now, instead of being built into the kernel. So, how do I get a good kernel for (Freerunner) Debian?

I'd appreciate any help on this. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
Sales?
I have heard from two sources now[1][2] that the demand for Freerunner's has been above and beyond everyone's expectations. Does anyone have any data they can release as to roughly how many are thought to have been sold so far? Keep up the good stuff everyone!

We moved ~ USB over Ethernet support on the Freerunner into a module. But, it's commonly written around that folks should update their kernel by DFU. This was never a good idea for a modular kernel (it does nothing to update the modules) and now it's a really bad idea. If you update your kernel by the packaging from inside the Freerunner it won't make this problem as it updates the modules at the same time How do I update my kernel by the packaging from inside the Freerunner?

inotify support in Kernel

Is there a Xoo and Xephyr VMware image with prebuilt environment?
Hi, http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Host-based_development_with_Xoo_and_Xephyrstates, at the top: Note that there is a VMware image where this environment has been prebuilt for you. The page, however, doesn't link to any such image, thus my query: does anyone here know of such an image, and if yes, could you please provide a link to it? Thanks in advance, Ed. PS I'm still a n00b with the whole phone+images+dev env etc matter, so am posting this here instead of to a developer list; I don't qualify to be called a dev yet :-) Please pardon if you think this is OT for this list.

Trouble flashing 2008.08
I'm using a neo freerunner and I am having a rather difficult time figuring out how to flash 2008.08 image that I was take to from the openmoko.com download link. From reading the wiki I've figured out that I need a kernel image and a rootfs image. Then I am supposed to boot into NOR flash mode and run the following two commands: dfu-util -a kernel -R -D /path/to/uImage dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D rootfs_filename.jffs2 The problem is I can't figure out which of roughly 50 files from the this list I should download. http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200808/20080806/ I tried several combinations of files that ended in jffs2 for the rootfs file and files that had gta02 and ended in .bin for the kernel image. Mostly the result I get is the openmoko splash screen when the device starts staying on the screen forever. I once got the machine to boot into a running distro but the machine was incredibly unreliable. Clicking on an icon gave a totally black screen, there were no buttons at the bottom of the app but it looked like there should be. Pressing the power button had no effect either. I think I'm just downloading the wrong images. I used qtopia the other day and it worked fine so my hardware is not busted. ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
