[ds2k5]

Hello,

sorry about my poor english, i am german.

i have a Vodafone VPA II compact

i wanna help to port linux to the VPA II c
if sombody tell me what can i do....

i used gnuharet-200604111910.exe to get some informations:

is there a newer version of gnuharet like: gnuharet-200604111910.exe ?

It's a good info.

CPU is ARM ARM arch unknown(6) stepping 3 running in user mode

This CPU is not really supported by haret.

This is also useful information.

the dump mmu crash, and vpaIIc is freezed, but i record it with telnet -f mmu.txt 169.254.2.1 9999

I think the data is useless. It is necessary to find out
the address of the 1 level page table by some
means (i didn't read the OMAP docs, on the PXA there is a special CPU command), or
using the common wince interface through the KStruct at 0xffffc00, i think.

dump ps don´t work wih this version

Strange, but who knows.

is there a newer version of gnuharet like: gnuharet-200604111910.exe ?

It does not matter. gnuharet is very intel PXA-specific and needs some new code to support the OMAP.

[ds2k5]

hello cr2,

i dont know, but i hope this page can help you:

http://focus.ti.com/omap/docs/omapsp..._com_downloads

i become some info from: Johnson, Steve-OMAP [stevej@ti.com]

----
Thank you for asking. http://linux.omap.com is to provide working TI kernels for various OMAP chips that are supported by us, mainly the OMAP2 series now. The OMAP850 on Linux is not supported by any TI development that I know of. The email list and GIT tree are the right places to discuss the OMAP850. There have already been 850 patches provided by an engineer from Google, and at least one other person on the list has discussed making changes for that platform.

I suggest you search the list archives and get in touch with other people who are interested in the 850.

Regards,
Steve

@cr2

with gnuharet-200606032321.exe from:
http://jornada820.sourceforge.net/files/haret/

dump ps works !

[ds2k5]

hello cr2

Is it possible to tell me, what do you need exact to integrate the omap850
in the sourcecode of gnu-HaRet ?

I found a guy that can help you, but i dont know which infomations you need.

You should look into the HTC typhoon code for the GPIO handling, and implement a GPIO watch function.
Then it is necessary to integrate the assembler code
from the h6300 bootloader:

There are a (HaRET)-Projekt that can be useful:
(Developer: nicolas schichan)

http://chac.le-poulpe.net/~nico/tornado/


Please read: http://chac.le-poulpe.net/~nico/tornado/README


Fist boot time: (but kernel panic)

i use the kernel source: linux-2.6.16.23

with: patch-2.6.16-omap1 & patch-2006-06-04


i create a empty file, like this way:

# Create a 14 MB File

dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/cc.ext2 bs=1M count=5

# map the file /var/tmp/cc.ext2 to device /dev/loop5

losetup /var/tmp/cc.ext2 /dev/loop5

# show the active loops

losetup /dev/loop5

# create a ext2-filesystem on the file/device

mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop5

# delete the mapping to file

losetup -d /dev/loop5

# show active loops

losetup -a


gzip -9 /var/tmp/cc.ext2


then i have the following outpot un the display:


....
....
RAMDISK: COmpressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing init memory 92K
Warning unable to open an initial console.
Failed to execute /linuxrc. Attemping defaults...
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.
Try passing init= option to kernel.

Please see the "vpa_compact_ii.jpg"


Can sombody tell me, how to create a initrd file with needed files
inside ? (initrd is the cc.ext2.gz)

Good for you

Can sombody tell me, how to create a initrd file with needed files inside ? (initrd is the cc.ext2.gz)

You have already created it with the instructions
above. Now you need to fill it. Usually it's busybox,
kernel modules and some setup stuff.
Dowload the ramdisk for HTC Universal, decompress
it and "mount -o loop ramdisk /somewhere".
Then you can just copy the files over to your ramdisk
and adapt the /linuxrc file in the root directory.
/linuxrc is just a usual shell script.

hi cr2,

thanksm the problem is that the haret.exe that i use
have the problem that i crash if the initrd file ist bigger than 300 kb

message from deveopler:

"this should not exceed 300k (compressed) and HaRET should
handle this very well."

i hope i can delete many files in the "htc_universal inittd" that i
fit the size

thanks
