[LNX]Linux on HTC Hermes

[nacho-g]

Hi.
I have success compiling Trinitys kernel, also creating a root fs. Maybe some who has an Hermes could see if it boots. Let me know please.

you have to pass mtype 1225 to the kernel (in default.txt) because it is only compiled for Trinity, it showld work.

It's very too hard to reverse engineer a chip you got at least no information about (ATI2282).


Finally someones reveals the name of this mysterious ATI chip.

A quick google search gives me the following:
http://old.nabble.com/s3c-mci-driver-for-testing-td11322661.html

As far as I understand, they got it working on the ATI 2282.
Or am I understanding this thread wrong?

Has anyone tried this driver with the settings mentioned in the thread?

I'd help you with this one, but I am not a dev.
When it comes to the rootfs, I will gladly jump in if I can be of use.

Regards,
CDJM

yeap i boot your build and log in with telnet into my phone good work nach-g

[Dr3am3r]

so does this mean we will have a fully functional android for our hermes?

please please make it a rom and post, i would LOVE to give new life to my hermes.

now being honest, how far are we from having androi on hermes?

Nope dosent mean :) I boot in console. the big problem is video driver for ATI accelerator into hermes :) For now Hermes is very far from Anroid

ps Sorry for my bad English

[chemical349]

looking forward to see hermes with android in it.

[boot_sectorz]

We waiting for head way in that area. Would love to see Tytn with Android

[Neo2SHYAlien]

Tonight i run GUI on my hermes folowing trinity nacho-g compilation. I start matchbox on my device very easy. tomorrow will post pictures

[Livven]

Wow, too bad I'm not a dev myself, I'd love to get Android on my Hermes! Hope you'll post your pics :).

[Neo2SHYAlien]

Sorry but i'm too bussy and I forgot for my promise :o few very bad images. first 2 are matchbox pic's and last one is shot of my netbook when is loged in my hermes linux

First very nice Neo:D
Is it far away now from a functioning Linux/android?

I was just curios if you tried this or somebody else?

And I also found this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2865792&postcount=199

yeap we still be too far from full functionality linux or android. we have a need from drivers patches and etc but, we make little steps into right way :)

[m1n1m1]

that's good but I just fear all the interesst is gone since all the gurus stepped up to newer devices, so you have to do all yourself:rolleyes:

[Neo2SHYAlien]

that's good but I just fear all the interesst is gone since all the gurus stepped up to newer devices, so you have to do all yourself:rolleyes:

hah maybe you are right :) if I want will by for my self new device but I want make it just for fun :) i'n not a guru -just fun lover :D

[m1n1m1]

Hey Neo could you do like a short to do list so that maybe other people could help you?
So youdon't have to do it all alone;)

[Neo2SHYAlien]

For now nothing just learning my self of compilation patching and etc. Now I increase my C skills because i'm too sux C dev :) and don't have experience with drivers or any thing for device like hermes :)

[Neo2SHYAlien]

maybe thread is dead ??? from yesterday i start to build hermes kernel with touchscreen driver. driver work well with nacho-g trinity kernel over my hermes, i just rebuild kernel only for hermes with ts driver :cool:

[vivekanandan]

Hello,

Share the binaries, let me check in my Hermes! Btw, Hermes has become old and people would have got new device!

Best Regards,

Yeah i know it but i love my hermes and for me it's just for fun :) If I wanna will bay kaiser for my self - kaiser have perfect support for him kernel. when i'm ready i will share zImage :)

[vivekanandan]

Hello,

I was able to build the kernel image without GUI! The problem is no one knows the hardware configuration for the GPU in Hermes!

Best Regards,
Vivekanandan M

[Neo2SHYAlien]

for now vsfb driver work well :) and the gpu problem isn't so important we have need from other drivers wi-fi radio keyboard and most important for every one linux based os - openmoko or android adn etc- sc driver for mounting :) The last one i thing maybe is same with from eten 500

[KoniecTematu]

Well, I have several questions. Sorry, if replies are in the thread already, I can't understand everything.
No. 1: Is it fully working Android on Hermes? Which version of Android?
No. 2: Is it an operating system, or just an aplication simulating Android?
No. 3: Do both systems(Windows Mobile 6.5 and Android) work at the same time, or you can't have both of them and have to delete WM to install Android? If they work both, is there an easy way to swap them? Doesn't it use whole memory to run two systems at the same time?
Thanks for the answers.

realy great news :)
Waiting for another progres in your wirk :)

[Neo2SHYAlien]

realy great news :)
Waiting for another progres in your wirk :)

I dont have time for working over this project :( I have few freelancer projects for completion and i start cisco academy and my free time is very short. My progress is 0 i could not finish building zImage with TS driver :(

[CzarnyRafal]

What a shame :(

I hope you will back to this project as soon as you can.
It would be grat to test linux on my Herm :)

Cheers ! :)

PS: What kind of cisco academy you started? CCNA?

[Neo2SHYAlien]

If u wanna try Linux over Hermes check nacho-h port from Trinity Topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288070) forum :) Nacho-g port work good and have X - matchbox ;)
Yes I start CCNA Exploatation i think will be userfull for my future :)

[CzarnyRafal]

I was trying to start it almost all day...
I cant... Probably i faster buy Kaiser then start on my own Linux on Hermes ;P

[Neo2SHYAlien]

Kaiser have a android port. porting something other gui like openmoko gui or opie is simple when u have all drivers :) Yes is easier to sell your hemers and buy kaiser but is not so funny :D

[Neo2SHYAlien]

boys my father make me gift - new device and i sold my old hermes phone. from this point i leave this prj :( I will share my moded kernel with included touch screen driver. i'm shure the ts driver will work but he cant wanna include into kernel (i dont have time to trace this problem). If any one have time maybe will find my problems and make ts to work. After that good point is porting SD driver i thing the driver from eten500 will work (maybe) :rolleyes:
The kernel is only source code its is useful for future developers.

My Kernel (http://neo2shyalien.eu/files/kernel.tar.gz)

[beltzaser]

I have been a long time lurker here following this thread. I have an old Hermes 300 I am messing around with since its gathering dust. I managed to boot linux on it, get the login screen (uclibc login:). I am using Haret.

A few problems though:-
1. The keyboard sporadically work. Sometimes I have to mess around and press the keys until it starts to work. It works 100% fine in WM5
2. I am using Windows 7 (I know, sorry people), usbnet (even the default one from MS) keep on giving me an error -10, that the service cant start. On the HTC though i see the message that the USB is connected. But my network connection doesnt show in windows.

I do not want to install android on this device, but want to mess around with other mobile linux applications (non gui) - more around the USB device in slave mode.

If I want to compile the kernel etc for the HTC, what setup do I need? Do I need a specific flavour of Linux to compile it on? If I want to compile applications for this to be installed on the ramdisk, how can this be achieved (Since the SD card doesnt work yet)

Apologies for all the questions, I am new to linux on mobile devices. Had it running on my old laptop and PS3 (Before Sony messed it up with the firmware upgrades I had a celestial body algorythm running calculating trajectories)

Any help will be appreciated.

Ok its good to see there is still some life out there....

I am just downloading Neo's kernel package and will be looking at continuing on with make this work.
I have a little programing knowledge and so progress will be slow at best.

I will also admit that my interest in this is to get to a point where I can run my phone as a wifi sip phone with video (pipe dream there...)

So will endeavor to keep you all posted and see how this goes

yeah i still watching this tread and i like to see new people how want a start work here. My work was very weak just add touchscreen driver and little mod-s to add into compilation. I'm sure forgot something but i cant understand where. I see when compile kernel with or without TS driver kernel size wont change maybe its a debug point for u. Second my idea is try SD driver form eten500 i think the chase work it hermes is big they use same chip and same pin outs (maybe).

[jasoncox]

thanks for the heads up. I have started with your kernel.zip as hh.org is down for maintenance.

My plan is to migrate to a newer kernel (2.6.34) as the drivers for some of the chips are in there. It also appears to be what most embedded is moving towards. So my first task is to move all the work over to that version and clean up the old style stuff.

Once i have it compiling again I will be looking at getting the SD card working followed by touchscreen.

Jason

[Neo2SHYAlien]

Heh my fist idea when i start planing linux over Hermes was same - New Kernel. Its is very hard work but maybe ill have result. Bat thing is porting of everything too many code for changing. Good luck dude I will waiting for your progress.

[jasoncox]

So I have begun by compiling a new header file describing all that I have found about the CPU's IO.

I have a hermes service manual if it helps?

I'll post it up when I get home anyway, still got my trusted Hermes and it would be great to see some progress on it. :)

[jasoncox]

A service manual would be good. I loook forward to seeing it

[bally3]

Here you go :)

Hope theres some progress, though I remember someone saying the imageon ati driver would be hard work.

[jasoncox]

So I have been thinking about the issue with the SD card being connect via the imagion chip and I think I have a way to get it working but it wont be easy....

When the phone boots either the IPL or the SPL must setup acces to the SD card to check if it should flash a new rom.

So I am thinking the quickest and easiest is to decompile the code to find how it works. This should be easier then decompiling dlls etc. as the IPL/SPL are smaller and straight arm code

[Neo2SHYAlien]

Yeah idea is good but will be very hard. Why u cant try to port eten500 driver will be a little bit more easy?

[jasoncox]

my google foo maybe letting me down.....

where can I find information on hardware and a kernel for the eten500?


Actually skip that as i managed to find it.

The problem is that the g500 uses the LCD and SD controller of the CPU where as the Hermes (as i understand it) is using the ati2282 to control LCD/SD/CAMERA....

So back to plan one

Is it reverse-engineering the ati2282 driver that's going to be a major problem then you think?

[jasoncox]

yes the ati driver will be the issue as everything else connects to it.

At the moment I am have trouble understanding the assembly language as I have no programing manuals or program references for the s3c2442.

I need to know how to setup the SPI bus and send/receive data ( must in in asm and not C/C++ )

Any one got one out there?

There's a lot of info on the web about this chipset, we'll have to see whether we can find out specifics about the spi bus.

I just need a really good programing guide that explains all the registers and how to setup the io pins.

even sample code that explains the above would help

[jasoncox]

OK so I have now found a programmers guide for the CPU.
Run up a free version of IDA Pro and started to revers the IPL.
so far looks good and I can understand it.

The IPL is nothing more than a boot loader. It sets up the ports, reads the Flash and then jumps to the loaded image...

Next will be the IPL/SPL to find out how the screen is setup and the SD card...:)

Good stuff Jason :)

Let's see if we can drum up some more interest, it would be great to get the project going again.

[w239]

hey guys, any update on this. would be cool to get this working, i've been trying all types of haret installs, no joy. Just thought id try anyway

[jasoncox]

no more progress yet.
I am working on making a 2.6.36 kernel work and getting close.
Also I am working in using pro ida to understand the boot sequence as it sets up the SD card to load new roms.
I think that I am the only dev working on it at the moment and so progress is slow.
Jason

[Lolu]

Dont give up guys!

would be spectacular if this thing come true, chug.. chug.. chug.., break that limit'ers!!

[komjehad]

Hello,
I`m interested in this Linux port. My friend give me Hermes with broken display. Everything else may work (it plays some sound on boot, and brightness react to touchscreen). I will disassemble HTC Wizard which have got same LCD. Now i need Wizard working as it is, so I would like to join this project in (I hope) few weeks.
It is amazing, that this thread is still alive. Wizard Linux is dead.
I have some experience with c/c++ programing and Linux as administrator. Now i`m also learning something about kernel. So maybe i can help with porting in few months.

I hope that study of ROM is good way to obtain informations about hw.

Regards
John Had.

(sorry for my English)

[bioterror]

Komjehad, Any progress? :)
I have one TyTn too without a use and would like to try running Linux on it.

[Jelmertjuhh]

Hello,

I found this site about porting android for the mini2440 device.
The samsung processor in this device (S3C2410 - 400MHz) is almost the same as the CPU of the Trinity and Hermes (S3C2442A - 400MHz).
Also the RAM of this device is 64MB, and the mini2440 can run android.
Maybe someone can take a look and get this work for the Hermes and Trinity?

Here is the link: https://sites.google.com/site/belina76/android-booting

Sorry for my bad English, i'm dutch.

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and this is my first msg... i hope i write in the right place.
I have an hermes p4500 too and i'd like to install android on it. I've seen a lot of tutorials on internet on how to install android on all kind of models except mine.
I've read many articles and threads but i did not get a clear answer. So, is it possible to install android on hermes p4500 (tytn I)? or this phone is too old for android?
Thank you,

Hey,
Thank you for reply!
I followed your link and got on this one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5908458&postcount=1 (i suppose i should get there).
I've done what it's said there (downloaded haretinstall.zip, mssmisoneclairv6.rar and from http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D i'vedownloaded zImage-2.6.32-froyo-14-01-11_14 and rename it in "zImage" -strange, when i modify the name, in the "type" column it changes from "32-froyo-14-01-11_14 File" to "File"-, put them all in andboot folder and paste it in the root of SD card) and when i run Haret and then press "run" i got the black screen, a few rows and it freezes at "Jumping in Kernel"
What have i done wrong?

ps: again, it's TYTN I not TYTN II!

[igor45]

From what I see, the links in the past few posts are NOT for the TYTN-Hermes, but for the TYTNII-Mogul and the Vogue. These are quite different machines.

AND the posts are part of a much larger discussion which you might want to look at as well for clarification and for context.

FWIW and FYI - I did have Android running on TYTNII/Mogul 2 years ago, as have many others, BUT TYTN(Hermes) I don't think so.

[pitung]

guess would be very slim chance if this thing work for hermes..most of the project meet a dead end or abandoned, maybe it's best to move on?:D who know what would come in future;)

Hi

Someone is still working on this Linux port ?
Maybe, I could give some help.
Is there a git tree somewhere ? Or do we have to set it ?

[zackss]

the link dont work

[zackss]

i still want to have linux on the device.

Here is a kernlel with partially ported TS driver. Kernel (http://neo2shyalien.eu/files/kernel.tar.gz) Everything look fine but when compile kernel TS dosen't work. :) Good luck boys :) Is somebody make full work kernel i recommend openmoko gui maybe he is enough light for Hermes. Android is really heavy for hermes device.

[hax0r]

Hi Neo2SHYAlien,

Thanks for this link, I will try to have a look on this kernel at the evening.

Does mmc work ?

[Neo2SHYAlien]

I get worked TS driver from trinity natch-g kernel but maybe i make same mistake with importing :) try to detect my mistake

[hax0r]

I had a look to the kernel, it seems that SD driver is not working..
I think this is the first driver to enable if we want to have a correct system.
Do you have any idea about an other device which use the ATIW SD/MMC driver ?

[Neo2SHYAlien]

Yeah SD driver is most important for every thing I thing eten500 maybe have same SD I/O but i'm not sure :) I stop every researching after my new phone. Hermes i good device and will be good if u give new life on this phone.

[zackss]

there is a stand still to the development of this device for android

[nurkamol]

before this problem was discussed here! and the processor does not support our device! (((

[zackss]

so no android whats so ever

my apologize dude!
u can just use some sw for you WM os! for example SPB Mobile Shell, InfiniteToday, WAD, Manila, Sosopi and etc (with android UI - theme ). Android theme anywhere, just use search)
