General & Credits

Welcome to the Android/Linux Topaz (Diamond 2) Port information portal

http://www.rocknrollcoffeehouse.com/shadowline/androididlight.jpg

From here you will be able to find new information on the progress and development of the Android/Linux port to the Topaz.
Please post all questions and information on this port of android here.
This thread/project is based on the XDANDROID porting project.
Before starting posting read the FAQ.

Change logs:

March 25th 2011 ( 2.2.2 FRX06 Final ) :

System image related:

Switched to touch-friendly dialer, along with the VGA layout improvements as seen in Gingerbread
Added HSPA icon (for GSM models)
modprobe ipv6 by default in user.conf - Google Goggles fix

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

March 03rd 2011 ( 2.2.2 FRX05 Final ) :

System image related:

Camera support – both photo and video capture (without sound currently) are working. This depends on kernel support, so only Rhodium and Topaz are supported currently. Huge thanks to Jerome Bruneaux (viruscrazy on XDA) for basically doing all the work.
Switch build variants from engineering to user-debug for slight speedup.

January 21st 2011 ( 2.2.1 FRX04 Final ) :

System image related:

Improved 3D performance, with fixes for WVGA devices (brought to you by [acl]) - IMPORTANT: this requires the accompanying rootfs (http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Incremental_Updates#rootfs_Updates) release from 21 Jan (http://files.xdandroid.com/rootfs/rootfs-20110122-6e6bf18.zip) (or later).
Synced all minor upstream changes from AOSP

November 20th 2010 ( 2.2.1 FRX03 Final ) :

System image related:

Disable slow background blurring for some dialogs (thanks emwe)
Internal improvements to auto-backlight implementation (emwe)
Disable JIT by default for various stability improvements
Updated gapps package (20101114)

Bug Fixes:

19 - Boot loop on first boot (fresh data.img)
36 - Repeated Volume button press crashes the system
Possibly 12 - Terminal emulator special keys/digits do not respond

Kernel related:

n/a

October 25th 2010 ( 2.2 FRX02 ) :

System image related:
- Talk.apk missing - fixed
- Buttons cut off in the open call menu. - fixed

FAQ & How To

http://www.rocknrollcoffeehouse.com/shadowline/androidlogo.png

Information on using Android on the Diamond 2.

More information is also available on the WiKi (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TOPAZ_ANDROID)

F.A.Q.
Q. Why is my touchscreen not calibrated properly?
A. Delete the "ts-calibration" file in the XDAndroid root and start haret.exe again, touch properly the 5 white dots on the boot-up sequence.

Q. Why is my led blinking between orange and green, and what those colors means?
A. Green - phone is sleeping, Orange - phone is awake. Blinking between this 2 colors means that the device is not sleeping properly or is doing something in the background ( checking for emails,... )

Q. Why when I return to WM my time is messed up?
A. Android uses a different way to tell time, causing Windows Mobile to change to another time (For example, if you are GMT -5 it will be 5 hours ahead, if you are GMT +5 it will show 5 hours behind.)

Q. Why am I stuck on the lockscreen?
A. Try tapping the power button once, then unlocking. The device thinks the screen is off.

Q. How do I install an .APK file from my PC?
A. Create a folder called "AndroidApps" on your storage card and place your file there.

Q. Why cant my phone find any network?
A. Change "force_cdma=1" in the STARTUP.TXT to "force_cdma=0".

Q. Why wifi doesn't work in Android?
A. Before booting into Android throught haret.exe, switch "on" the wifi in WinMo.

Q. How do i return to WinMo after booting into Android?
A. You could hold the "end call" key and press "Power off", or at the back remove the stylus and press the little red button.

Q. Why HARET freezes/hangs on execution?
A. Be sure to use the latest zImage, rootfs, initramfs and to run you TD2 at stock CPU speeds ( not overclocked, in most cases this cause the problem ).

Q. Why does the end call button has the same function as the power button and how do i fix this?
A. The key mapping was changed in a recent rootfs release, to sort that out go into the Main Menu -> SpareParts and select the "End button behaviour" to be "Go Home".

Q. Why I have no sound on incoming calls & the other person can't hear me?
A. A little workaround until this get fixed is: after android boots, first, call someone (you can call yourself too :P), after that all subsequent calls should be ok.

More coming soon.

Usefull Startup.txt commands ( copy cmds without quotes ):

Overclocking
"acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXXXXX" - Used for overclocking your cpu ( example: "acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=650000" is 650 MHz / 650 000 kHz ) - Use it at your own risk!!!

Setting another folder as your Android root
"rel_path=place here the folder name" - If you dont want to put XDAndroid in your SD root you can put it in another folder ( It is recommended that you call this folder "andboot" and not "Android", example: you created a folder named "andboot" in the root of your SD for XDAndroid, add this to your startup.txt "rel_path=andboot" )

Onscreen terminal keyboard
"msmvkeyb_toggle= (on/off)"
on = displays terminal onscreen keyboard
off = hide terminal onscreen keyboard

Headset
"snd.force_headset=X"
1=USB headset
2=3.5mm headset

Incall volume adjust
"htc_hw.call_vol=X"
0-5
0=being lowest and 5=being loudest

Enable/Disable handsfree
"htc_hw.handsfree=X"
1=Enable
0=Disable

Recommended best loud and clear voice values are said to be 5/1
"htc_hw.call_vol=5"
"htc_hw.handsfree=1"

Disable low battery Warning
"htc_battery_smem.fake=1"

How to install and run Android on your TD2

Installation:

First step and the most important be sure to backup all your valuable data from your SD card
Before downloading anything be sure that your SD card is formated in FAT32 file system and you have enough space ( min. 512mb, recommended 1024mb )
Download the latest bundle build here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3695364&postcount=4) [Post 4]
Download the system only package ( if bundle is from a newer date then system only then skip this step ) here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3695364&postcount=4), rename it to system.ext2 if needed and overwrite it with the one from the bundle package
Unzip the contents of the .zip file
Copy all contents of the unzipped file to the ROOT of your Storage Card or in ANDBOOT folder ( be sure to add then "rel_path=ANDBOOT" in startup.txt between quotations )
Copy the STARTUP.txt located in STARTUP CONFIG->TOPAZ folder to the root of your SD card or in the ANDBOOT folder

It should look like this:

/Storage Card/
/AndroidApps/
/conf/
/media/
/STARTUP CONFIG/
/STARTUP.TXT
/haret.exe
/initrd.gz
/rootfs.img
/system.ex2
/zImage

Running Android:

Browse to your storage card and open/run the file Haret.exe
On the first boot android will ask you to tap 5 white dots for touchscreen calibration
Wait for Android to be completely up and running

Tips & Media

General info & tips

Data Image ( data.img ) is where all your settings, apps,... basically everything you have done to customise your android experience is stored there. Deleting it will result in losing all of settings, apps,...
To setup your ringtones create you need to create a folder tree:
/sdcard/media/alarms
/sdcard/media/notifications
/sdcard/media/ringtones
To change the keyboard language and layout to qwerty, hold down ( long press ) any text box to get other options and select android. You can also change it from the settings page.
To get a better & faster GPS location time be sure to run QuickGPS and update the satellites before going to Android.

Just like we need a good HardSPL, we also need android on our shiny new diamonds. I just hope that we can get somewhere with it and some more devs pick it up as the phone becomes more popular.

Why not using the Touch HD files??? ;)

gkai

27th April 2009, 10:08 AM

Why not using the Touch HD files??? ;)

Agreed, hardware-wise I think the HD is the closest to the TD2 among the "older" htc models.

Appart from the slider bar and the buttons (sensistive on the HD, mechanical on the TD2), I think the hardware and screen resolution are exactly the same....

shadowline

27th April 2009, 06:48 PM

The Diamond version still seems to be the one that boots at least into console. The HD version does not get past haret.

Android is Linux based and open source, right?

So will you start charging when it is released? I hope not.

Will there be some kind of Kitchen where we can start figuring possibility of porting it to other devices?

No, and if anyone here charges for it, I would really be cautious of it. Android is open source from google. And it has already been ported (more or less) to the Kaiser, Vogue, Diamond, Raphael, Touch HD and quite possibly more.

Hope this works as planned... The thing is, hardware-wise, the D2 is similar to both the TouchHD and to the original Diamond. Now my problem is obtaining this thing in CDMA. Now only if HTC listened to its users :D.

To be fair, the Touch HD port has stalled at an early stage.

There seem to be major problems at a deeper hardware level (Too complex for me to understand). So it might not ever happen.....

Thought I should explain this a little... This is the reason why the framebuffer does not work at the moment. The manufacturer ID is not in any published linux driver code at the moment so we can't just drop in another driver. First things first, we need to find out the make and model of the mddi client, pedroo said he'd get some pics of the PCB/LCD so hopefully we'll be able to get some model numbers.

One mddi client chip which is capable but I haven't been able to find any information on is the Samsung S6D05A0. Long shot but does anyone have an account with Samsung they can use to get the data sheet?

Good luck!

we dont have any progress here yet, but id imagine it would be cross compatable. and im sure the rhodium will have the most work done on it with its more global release, and especially here in the states.

Hi All,

Is there a Android-on-Topaz wiki yet? i'm keen to start helping out with getting android working on the topaz.

I've been following the android on diamond thread for some time and firmly believe that the wiki is a much better way of sharing information than 200 pages of "is it done yet"

Thanks

Hi All,

Absolutely.

I've been information gathering/hacking at the kernel but since there was no other devs and I haven't got much to work I haven't bothered writing up anything to wiki. If you're interested in getting involved, get in touch.

I think only Wiggleraway is working on this at the moment. Lots of devs are still at work on android for the original diamond, and the touch hd.

we prefer the 'htc' prefix for all htc machines

26th June 2009, 11:42 PM

Don't think anyone's working on this yet but I dumped the mddi client capabilities struct found in mddi_probe() of mddi.c. Looks like we've got a new mddi client manufacturer (Mfr_Name=B9F6).

Are you sure that it is correct ?
The known mddi cleient chips are

0bda_8a47 novatek
4ca3_0000 epson
d263_0000 toshiba

I think that teh topaz uses epson chip, like BLAC100.

Hi cr2, good to see you on the thread.
I'm confident I've got the right id in that dump. I've seen epson init code in the SPL however the SPL debug output reports a novatek controller with AOU panel which is unfortunate as neither company are very forthcoming with their specs. It looks like everything will have to come from reversing the SPL or ddi.dll. Do you you have any experience of the init code in either?

cr2

27th June 2009, 02:12 AM

It looks like everything will have to come from reversing the SPL or ddi.dll.
The panel id is defined by gpios 0x39 and 0x3a. I think you should start documenting things
like FB address in wince, gpios, etc.

like FB address in wince, gpios, etc.

I do need to get round to documenting the bit and pieces I have found however the limited time spend on this gets spent working towards getting mddi working, most of the other interfaces are very close to that of raphael's and should fall into place if/when we get mddi working.

shadowline

30th June 2009, 07:31 AM

Glad to see that there are some of you that are looking into it. So mddi should be the only huge problem that we have vs the other Raphael builds? At least in theory?
Anyway, if you need me to update the first post and I happen to not be seeing the thread for some reason, feel free to PM me with what you need.
And hopefully once we get a working build, we can get it added to androidonhtc.com too.

Sorry If i tell a mistake but I´m newbie as in speak english;)
In xatakamovil I saw that the hardware of Topaz and Hero were very similar, It´s possible take the hero as a point of begin to modify his soft to remplace it in topaz?
Sorry again.
Thanks.

I've started writing up some stuff at http://www.htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Topaz Atm I've only put down information I'm confident of. My time is still focused on getting the LCD running so there isn't a whole lot there. Anyone wanting to play around with this just scrap down any info you know on the wiki. It'd be great to start collaborating.

It's not exactly easy getting another operating system to work on a phone, just look at Android for the original Diamond 1; it's been ages and still not fully working.

Pfft, look at the kaiser port, that has been going even longer and they still dont have it 100% stable or feature complete. But I will be happy with a booting image, and some data connection. :D

There isn't many working on it right now. But the current issue is the screen/touchscreen drivers, so once those are found and fixed it will be on hopefully the fast track to fully booting. But we may not know what else may be broken until then.

I guess we were hoping for too much with the release of the hero rom. I thought a lot of the data on that rom (drivers and such) could transfer over once booting to linux was complete. I still have y fingers cross. The faster this moves, the more likely the rhodium will do well.

Suppose I could get a non HTC phone such as the new sony ericsson (http://www.pcworld.com/article/167869/leaked_sony_ericssons_upcoming_android_phone.html) . It is only missing a keyboard.

By the time everyone can merely install Android 1.0 in the Topaz, another new version of Android should be out, and then again we start all over.
By the time that happens Topaz would be old and another new HTC phone should take your hearts.

Just forget that...

No? Go look at the vogue and kaiser ports, they are running the latest Hero build are they not? You don't have to start over with it all each time, its still android. Sure it takes days, if not weeks to get it ported, but they do it. I see no difference. The only thing we lack here are more developers, which will come soon enough as the TD2 and TP2 get massed released globally.

Lets get back to the Topic :)
I have seen different Default.txt files, some include SET CMDLINE "some_parameters"
while others do not have that line at all:confused:

EDIT: Trying to boot, I click Run, I see Go, Go, Go.. and then sooner or later soft-reset.
My Default.txt:
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1910
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "ppp.username= ppp.password= mddi.width=640 mddi.height=800 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=3 board-htcvogue.panel_type=1 no_console_suspend"
boot

also tried MTYPE 1805, it took much longer until soft-reset, 1910 was almost instant.

I wonder if I'm using correct zImage and initrd.gz at all :-(

Tried some other builds and made it to the console, it is freezing at the line "hand over to real [tty0]" or something like that. I guess that's the moment graphics mode should kick in...

schriss

7th August 2009, 10:59 PM

I'm not sure it it is freezing because of display driver..
I mean I tried changing MEMADDR, first increased it slightly thendecreased and in both cases console wouldn't boot at all, grapgics distortion and freeze.
Maybe it's not good MEMADDR? Too small free memory window? With Touchflo disabled I have 100MB of free memory, maybe by trying some other MEMADDR I will get better result. Trying now.

EDIT: Tried up to 100000000, no luck :-( Got back to default values. (MEMADDR 0x10000000)

dicki

11th August 2009, 01:59 PM

now i'm a bit hazy on all this but my understanding is that the MTYPE is used in the linux kernel to configure HW specific settings for your device.

this means that the new topaz MTYPE setting will only work with the very latest version on the kernel which i am guessing is not built into anyones code yet?

what sources are people currently using for thier topaz android work?

i'm just starting to find some time to spend on this but i need to do an awful lot more learning until i'm going to be of any use on this project.

deekjx

11th August 2009, 03:43 PM

Anyone starting with a fresh kernel or is everyone just trying kernels from other builds? It's possible to get a fresh kernel (http://modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92)by compiling it yourself. That being said. I think you will have to customize the .config file listed in the instructions. Its also possible to compile the system image from android source but I don't have that link handy right now.

Hi all, I'm a new for this all, so I'm a little bit confused. I'm a driver developer for Windows/Mac OS (one of the Mac OS kernel hackers, that bring it to PC), and I'm willing to buy HTC Topaz and work for Android port on it.

But I don't know where is to start. So I have several questions:
- How I can be involved in Android porting process? I mean where developers communicates with each other?
- Where I can read info about the roles of different interfaces (SPI, MDDI) and other interfaces that used in embedded environment?
- Who are actually works on porting Android to Topaz?

Most developer talk is over IRC, #htc-linux on freenode.

Information about the hardware achitecture can be piggled together from the kernel source code, google and a bit of help from other android devs. There's a lot of htc phones based around the msm720x which all share the architecture. Topaz isn't a world away from what has come before it.

As far as I know, I'm the only one who has publicly stated I've done some work on it. However I haven't touched it for quite a while as I've been enjoying the summer :)

For them to undertake that task wouldn't make any sense. They are a business and like any other, the bottom line will come first. They won't release an unpolished product and it would take the effort of several members of their team to ensure it works.

I'm sure their agreements with Microsoft will make this impossible from a legal perspective.

You are right in that it doesn't hurt to ask but I wager you have a better chance of hitting the lotto.

Oh is that what you think? Go take a look at the Vogue, Kaiser, Diamond, Blackstone, and Touch pro forums and you will see. Sure it takes a long time, but only because there is usually only one or two people working on it at a time. Right now I think we only have one person working on it very little.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither will Android. We need skilled linux developers that know how to edit kernels and drivers.

I appreciate your and other developers efforts but the problem is that the process is taking so long with one or two devs. After a year or two many many TD2 owners will buy their new devices. So there will no need to develop Android. Yes Rome wasn't built in a day but even the T. Diamond has not a 50% working Android. There is nothing.

Ok, the boot process reaches the same stage on rhodium, so
we need somebody to connect haret on port 9999 after the crash
and dump the bootlog from RAM console area.
Instructions are coming.

I'm ready and willing to help eventhough I know squat about linux and programing

Excellent progress!
From my haretlog it seams that you set MTYPE to 2293? Isn't it 1952 the correct one? (http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/list.php?id=1952)

Not yet. The older hacked boot was more successful
http://htc-linux.org/topaz-boot-pic2.jpg

From my haretlog it seams that you set MTYPE to 2293?

It is HTCTOPAZ (the next one is HTCRHODIUM)

For dumping the crash log from ramconsole use the haret command:

pd 0xe0000 0x20000

How to start linload-topa100.exe in listening mode?

You can't. start linload-topa100.exe, let it "hang", soft-reset, start the usual haret.exe (don't boot anything) , press "listen" button, and telnet to port 9999

aDEO

12th October 2009, 10:53 PM

Ok. Here it is:
Log file start with dump MMU till this line:
HaRET(3)# pd 0xe0000 0x20000
and end with dumped crash log (pd 0xe0000 0x20000)

cr2,

Could you post or pm me your main .config file from the kernel? It seems like most of the errors that I am getting when building the kernel are due to the .config file.

Thanks!

cr2

13th October 2009, 08:57 PM

All kernel code including the defconfig (htctopaz_defconfig) is in
the linuxtogo.org git repository.

life02

14th October 2009, 01:16 AM

right... i have all those files... but when I compile the kernel it asks lots of questions which are in .config from the kernel folder.

dcordes

14th October 2009, 03:48 PM

"make htctopaz_defconfig"

this will copy arch/arm/configs/htctopaz_defconfig to .config

it compiles without errors for me.

Next time you can dump the text log by

pwf my_crash_log 0xe0000 0x20000

Dumped crash log + haretlog.txt with latest compiled topa100-20091014-2.exe/haret.exe.
Currently I am using win7 with haretconsole, but can switch to some linux distro if this can helps somehow.

PLL1: MODE=00000007 L=00000032 M=00000000 N=00000001 freq=960000000 Hz (960 MHz)

The haretlog is not interesting, because linux already boots.
But the ramconsole dump provides very interesting information:
the PLL1 frequency is higher than on other msm7201A phones.
It is necessary to adjust the SD clock setup.

[ 5.500061] smem_find(13, 2048): wrong size 2304

This error needs a closer look from me.
And the LCD does not work probably because of

[ 5.495178] htcraphael_init_panel: Initializing panel
[ 5.495300] htcraphael_init_panel: panel does not apply to this device, aborted

Edit:
a newer version with some fixes is uploaded.

Looks better now around the panel, but the cpu clock is with the same frequency.

I searched a bit internet about this about console handover: boot [htc_fb-1] -> real [tty0] and found a guy with Raphael who stuck on the same place. Interesting, but he manage to solved his problem with patient :) Unfortunately, after few minutes of waiting, it doesn't seems to work for me. Will try by downgrading my WM from 6.5(with Extendir if this mater) to 6.1...

**EDIT**
No go: logging "dies" before start framebuffer console, just after selecting the SD card partition 1 (p1):
[ 5.793243] mmc0: host does not support reading read-only switch. assuming write-enable.
[ 5.793334] mmc0: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa
[ 5.794097] mmcblk0: mmc0:aaaa SU08G 7761920KiB

maybe this is not the right partition or it have to be Fat16 (currently Fat32)? Anyone?

It's a problem with the LCD setup/DMA/refresh. Your console log reveals some other minor kernel bugs, but the machine boots up to SD card setup and properly detects the partition information.
I'll look at it today in the evening.

I guess we should try to move the framebuffer to a different location, because
wince on topa100 uses 81MB SDRAM instead of 90MB on raph100.
Can you dump the wince "dmesg" area ?

pwf topa100_dmesg 0x16f00000 0x100000

Another useful dump (with camera and bt ON) is

pwf topa100_clk 0xa8600000 0x400

Ok, both dumps look very good.
If you will dump the wince "dmesg" after a reset, you will get more interesting data during init.
The log hints that you have TIACX1251 wifi chip ?
It seems that you also run some kind of GSM monitor software ?

@cr2
Strange, but I didn't find anything for TIACX1251, but I found TIACXWLN1, which is used on these devices:

Artemis / HTC P3300
Pocket Loox 718/720
Hermes / HTC TyTN / XDA trion / MDA Vario II / VPA Compact III / SPV M3100 / Dopod CHT 9000 / Dopod 838 Pro
Athena / x7500

However, by observing my new dmesg, I found this:
Adapter Name: TNETW12511
adpater name found: [0] TNETW12511
tiIoCtrl: IOCTL (00223810)=TIWLN_802_11_STATISTICS
OID (ff010200) ptcDeviceName (TNETW12511) inLen (0) outLen (296)
TNETW1251(1)? is the exact wifi-chip, used on other HTC devices:

HTC Titan / Sprint Mogul / Verizon XV6800 / P4000
HTC TyTN II / Kaiser / AT&T Tilt / 8925 / P4550
Elf / HTC Touch
HTC Vox
also X1i Xperia, according this IRC log (http://ibot.rikers.org/%23htc-linux/20090718.html.gz)

I also double checked these registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW1251]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511]
which shared the same library (TNETW1251.dll)

You can find my new dmesg as attachment. Really hope this to be useful.

If you look at the registry for the htc comm manager for the topaz, you can find the wifi device type aswell.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]
"DeviceName"="{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\\TNETW12511"

ok, so topa100 is using tiacx1251 for wifi (the same as raph,diam,blac etc.)
unlike rhod100, which uses broadcom chipset.
Do you have *.bts files in \windows ?
I'm trying to guess the BT chipset.
Can you post the list of files in \windows\ ?

Edit:

16:23:25 [D:BT] [BTU]RequestedPowerState: D3 from B6300

BT is brf6300, the same as on raph/diam.

The same problem was there before with Blackstone dumps.
Can you completely disable AGPS, reset the phone and do the smem dump again ?

aDEO

24th October 2009, 11:35 AM

I'm back again, so let me summarize, since this gonna be a long journey:

Latest findings:

WiFi - TIACX1251 (TNETW1251)
BT - BRF6300

Attached below:

MMU - topa100_mmu
0xe0000 0x20000 - topa100_crash_log
0x16f00000 0x100000 - topa100_dmesg
0xa8600000 0x400 - topa100_clk
files list from \Windows dir - topa100_windows_dir

Also some useful info/links from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4744940&postcount=147).

Currently, with latest cr2's compilation (http://android.ppckitchen.org/), using next params:
set MTYPE 2293
set ramsize 0x5000000
set RAMADDR 0x10000000
set cmdline "msmts_calib=0x6D.0x5D.0x340.0x375 mem=76M msmvkeyb_toggle=hide lpj=2637824 board_htcraphael.disable_wifi=1 init=/init console=tty0 delay=2"
topa100 freeze just before start the framebuffer console with this output:
[ 0.179382] console [hts_fb-1] enabled
[ 2.044708] console: clour dummy device 80x30
[ 2.133575] console handover: boot [htc_fb-1] real [tty0]
I guess we should try to move the framebuffer to a different location, because wince on topa100 uses 81MB SDRAM instead of 90MB on raph100.

Since I am not capable to change the starting address of the framebuffer, is there anything else that I can do to be useful? Thanks!

Alrighty... I have attached two logs now...

The first one, I used another method to turn aGPS off (Schaps Advanced config)..

Lets see how these go. Thank you for your help cr2.

As my GPS was already turned off via Advanced config, I tried theese:

240972 - without SIM card
240976 - like the 1st one and with completely disabled:

QuickGPS app
My Location service
Manila Sense
In Flight mode

I think the second one (in Flight mode) will be the key, but will wait you to confirm it. Thanks!

The latest smem dumps still contain only the AGPS messages.

could you post a dump log that doesn't have the aGPS data for another device, and or could you let me know what we are looking for in these logs (specific commands we should see).

I have gotten a bit familiar looking at what I know now is wrong, having a log that looks a bit more correct might save us the wasted upload and time.

aDEO

28th October 2009, 07:49 AM

Can you check your devices for these registry entries, as they hold the state of both Assisted GPS and Quick GPS:

HKLM\Software\HTC\SUPL AGPS
HKLM\Software\HTC\QuickGPS

I am thinking about this scenario:

Hard Reset without SIM (to prevent installing network sutup configuration)
Deleting both registry entries (found that they will be not recreated after restart, so this have to work)
Restart
Dump

You'd better ask for a Maemo (5) port! It's called the best Mobile OS on tweakers.net . And, the kernel is open source, what makes it a lot easier to port. Success anyway ;)

cr2

29th October 2009, 04:59 PM

having a log that looks a bit more correct might save us the wasted upload and time.

I don't have a ready to use tool for parsing the RPC circular buffers.
If the upload size matters, extract the RPC-TX.txt and RPC-RX.txt buffers with

od -v -A x -t x4 -j $((0x119b8+0x14)) -N $((0x2000)) foo_smem > RPC-TX.txt
od -v -A x -t x4 -j $((0x119b8+0x14+0x2000+0x14)) -N $((0x2000)) foo_smem > RPC-RX.txt

Then you can search (text editor?) for the RPC prog numbers other than '0x5b000030' (PDAPI) and '0x5b000031' (PDAPI_CB)
if the first byte is not 0x5b, but some other number, then you got non-AGPS commands that i'm looking for :)
The full known RPC command list can be seen at

Yes, i need the ramconsole dump to see the mddi client chip data.
If it matches the google novatek values, we can then reuse g2 novatek code.

Edit: ok, the console output looks very good, the AT, RPC and DATA channels are detected properly now,
the microP driver is detected, but we have a problem with the novatek panel:

[ 5.461090] mddi client=0 does not match mddi.mfr_name= 0xb9f6 mddi.prod_code= 5582

The g2 numbers are

1152 #define NT35399_MFR_NAME 0x0bda
1153 #define NT35399_PRODUCT_CODE 0x8a47

I need to fix the SD clocks, and the ADSP numbers. Then you may even try to play sound :)
The USB client is not working, need to look at that too.

Edit2:
the dummy mddi_client_topaz.c version created from mddi_client_epson.c may help us to run msmfb.

3rd November 2009, 07:51 AM

Well, just checked out the HTC Pure(AKA TOPAZ!) on AT&T's site. Looks like a nice phone. Anyone thought of checking out the Hero build on it? Skimmed through the first couple of pages, a lot of reading! Thinking of upgrading to the Topaz from my Kaiser but would love it if Android worked. Guess I'll just have to buy my Topaz and start working on the Android code to get something that works. It would be a sham to buy it for $150 USD and not be able to run my new favorite OS, next to Archlinux that is! WOOT!

you're killing all my hopes :(
cr2 and Adeo are on it. Just wait for a couple weeks.

Your hope shouldn't be killed so easily; I'm saying what has been done so far is very, very good! Issues are being overcome, progress is being made.

As far as I can tell, there is currently no UI or radio operation on these devices; It's still bombing out when loading the kernel.

You will get the UI once framebuffer driver is fixed. The old topaz boot screenshot did not have any FB problems, because it didn't mess too much with the hardware.
oops on boot is related to the incompatibility of the SMD layout with other MSM7201A phones. Radio (AT and UMTS data) does not work for the same reason.

Yes, they uses same ARM9 coprocessor, but still:
Topaz's CPU = MSM7200A (90 nm)
Rhodium's CPU = MSM7201A (65 nm)

Are you sure? I think the A at the end refer to 65nm process, so both CPU should be 65 nm.
The 0/1 difference refer, afaik, to the video encoding part of the chip, which is covered by a patent in the US, hence the MSM7201A which implement another, slightly less efficient, video encoding algorithm.
The MSM7200A is the original chip, non-crippled, which is sold everywhere except in the US.

Well, takes those info with a grain of salt, but this is what I remember from some discussions I have seen about the Qualcomms MSM7200 family....

You are right about almost non existing difference between both chipsets, since MSM7201A is the successor of the MSM7200A:

The reason for the different chipsets is said to be a Broadcom patent infringement by Qualcomm back in June 2007. The suit is said to have something to do with video compression in the MSM7200A chipsets.

Because the lawsuit is about an American patent, the MSM7200A chipset is used in all non-American variants, and the newer MSM7201A chipset is only used in the American variants.

As you can probably imagine, the real difference in the chipsets is about video compression. The MSM7201A chipset limits video recordings to QVGA resolution (320 x 240 pixels) and up to 24 frames per second video, whereas the MSM7200A chipset supports VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels) video recording at up to 30 frames per second.

but still, take a look here:

MSM7200A (http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7200a&c=qualcomm_msm7200a) (2007 year, 90nm)
MSM7201A (http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a7201a&c=qualcomm_msm7201a) (2008 year, 65nm)
