Qtopia-4.3.0 for A780. Openezx-2.6.23-1 kernel.

[swifty]

thanks again!
btw. in your great readme is a step missing to make it more noob save

between
sync (wait until it finish) and
umount /mnt
is a "cd /" missing (or something like that)


/me enjoying these bleeding edge things

update:
now i have seen this white screen too. it was on the first openmoko boot. a second boot was ok. (the first openmoko bootlogo is a little big)
i have used the zImage-2.6.23.1-ezxdev kernel.

[goxboxlive]

Added "cd /" to the README.

BTW.

I have uploaded a new Qtopia-image. It's builded from the Qtopia-snasphot of date 20071025.
.

Whats new

New kernel zImage and modules from openezx.

Improved the keypad support. All buttons beside the powerbutton is now working.

Added qvga dialer (should be able to do SIP dialing over usbnet I havent tested it myself, i
dont have a SIP account).

JFYI:
To shut down the phone hit the volume button, a shutdown menu will appear. To do a safe shutdown, use [Restart Device].

I have removed the record option from the record button. I have added Lock Phone instead. To unlock the phone hit it again and hit asteriks * on your keypad.

I will recommend you to go to appearance and activate [Use icons for soft keys]. Also change color to Qtopia, it will look better. The Finxi theme is probably the best to use, at least it has the coolest dialer.

I builded the kernel manually now, with the instruction from openezx web. And noe it starts. It's seems like it is the same kernel version. I guess it will be updated soon also in OPenembedded.

Please, use the svn.openezx version, ive asked Koen multiple times to stop changing our code "out of main tree", but he dont want to commit to svn.openezx and dont want to stop changing stuff by OE.

svn co ...
quilt push -a
make -f patches/Makefile.OpenEZX CROSS_COMPILE=... zImage-a780

Will always build a working kernel.

BTW, i have worked further on the Qtopia image for A780. No we have all the buttons working as it should, beside the powerbutton, i just cant figure that out. For now hitting the volume button brings up the shutdown menu.
I'll let you know when i have uploaded a new Qtopia-image.

The power button is _not_ connected to the AP, it is connected to the BP and we receive a "+EKEV: 19, x" from the modem when the button is pressed. You will need to fix the modem access to be able to catch powebutton events.
The same applies to Bluetooth, it is working, but you have to send "AT+EBTP=1" to the modem to power it on.

Send me a mail if you need any help to get the modem working.

Quick how-to diagnostic OpenEZX kernel errors:

Garbage or White Screen:
It is a kernel panic before the kernel had a chance to initialize the LCD.

Blank screen, looks like the phone is OFF, i CAN turn it on by pressing the power button:
The phone was really OFF, it is probably something wrong with the power management code, or BP driver.

Blank screen, looks like the phone is OFF, i CANNOT turn it on by pressing the power button:
The phone is ON, probably something wrong with the backlight driver, look closer, with some light near the lcd and you will see that the phone is running

boot_usb locks or the phone wont leave the bootloader screen:
update boot_usb from svn.openezx.org.

Those errors are "common" on a1200, particularly with kernels built by Koen, as he doesnt have a way to test the A1200 kernels

Or....

Just download a kernel from people.openezx.org/wyrm, or build one
from svn.openezx, without using OE, and errors like those above will never happen.

I've been trying for a while to build my own kernel but I can't patch any version. i've tried 2.6.21 and 2.6.23.1 with the patches from svn.openezx.org, copied them to linux-2.6.2x/patches and this is what i get from quilt:

Can someone tell me what have i done wrong ?

Yes, use the linux kernel 2.6.23. Not kernel 2.6.23-1.

Hi.
I have made Qtopia-4.3.0 image for motorola A780.

You can give me ready headers and libraries from Qtopia? It necessary for assembly FBReader for A1200

The headers are available at qtopia.net. The libraries is in my Qtopia image.

And why would you want to do that?
IIRC the only missing hardware support to the OpenEZX kernel is the camera.

Ok, we still lack gprs too, but its on the way!

Dp you mean Qtopia doesn't require the gsmd integration that OpenMoko is waiting on to be able to make calls?

If not, wohoo!

Otherwise, how can this be used as a full-time phone?

Qtopia has it own phonelibraries. But we have to make it first, like with gsmd. But with Qtopia the backend is ready, just need to write a vendor file and a multiplexer (wich is quite complex as far as i understand this).
