| 01:52:55 | DragonEagle | is away: night all |
| 02:41:33 | zeek | so if i bricked my iPaq how can i get an update to put wince on it? |
| 02:43:54 | sgodsell | Well zeek do you have the 4 flash files from when you installed osloader before? |
| 02:44:23 | zeek | sgodsell:: from when i made a backup of the wince? |
| 02:44:31 | sgodsell | yes |
| 02:44:43 | zeek | yes i do |
| 02:45:05 | zeek | and i tried to put that back on and now i can use the serial cable to connect to the parot screen :) |
| 02:45:24 | sgodsell | okay I would think you have to put back the hh's bootldr |
| 02:45:36 | sgodsell | Then install the wince again |
| 02:46:12 | sgodsell | This time make sure you install flash-0000 last ;) |
| 02:46:15 | zeek | ok, so wait, let me understant this |
| 02:46:57 | zeek | if i put the four *.bin files back on the handheld, i then just need to boot to the parot screen, i just need to install wince on that? |
| 02:48:00 | sgodsell | Well I think the way you restore using the parot bootldr is you need to have a flash card with the one image (16Mb) |
| 02:48:19 | sgodsell | Instead of the 4, 4Mb files |
| 02:49:07 | sgodsell | I guess you could assemble them yourself, but I would want to be responsible for doing that. I don't want you to make a brick ;) |
| 02:49:43 | sgodsell | s/would/wouldn't |
| 02:52:07 | zeek | what if i don't have a flash card? |
| 02:52:19 | sgodsell | That is okay |
| 02:52:30 | sgodsell | Then I would install the bootldr |
| 02:52:38 | sgodsell | once that is installed |
| 02:52:43 | sgodsell | Then type in |
| 02:52:55 | sgodsell | load flash 0xc00000 |
| 02:53:12 | sgodsell | load flash 0x800000 |
| 02:53:21 | sgodsell | load flash 0x400000 |
| 02:53:37 | sgodsell | And the last one is the dangerous one |
| 02:53:44 | sgodsell | load flash 0x0 |
| 02:54:07 | sgodsell | you have to unprotect it. If my memory is correct |
| 02:54:24 | zeek | yeah with a few other commands |
| 02:54:27 | zeek | i did that part already |
| 02:54:38 | zeek | i am at the windows boot loader right now |
| 02:56:48 | sgodsell | Well I don't remember any of the commands from the parrot loader. I only remember going in there once to take a look |
| 02:57:20 | zeek | sgodsell: nods, its something i got into without much help, so i will have to try some other thigns first |
| 02:57:22 | sgodsell | I have restored CE a few times. But I always used the bootldr |
| 02:57:28 | zeek | sgodsell: thank you though |
| 02:57:48 | sgodsell | Sorry zeek |
| 02:58:08 | sgodsell | If you can get the hh bootldr back on |
| 02:58:23 | sgodsell | Then you are back in business |
| 02:58:35 | zeek | nods thats what i figured |
| 03:45:54 | sgodsell | is away: I have to go |
| 08:13:33 | zeek | anyone know what to do with the windows ce boot loader? |
| 09:49:27 | zeek | ok is there anony there who knows how to use a hex editor? |
| 16:58:39 | mallum | is away: food |
| 17:35:00 | mallum | is back (gone 00:36:19) |
| 19:55:24 | mtb | got it thanks |
| 19:56:16 | BBrox | Hmmm, changed channel :-) |
| 19:59:03 | mtb | got the file:) |
| 20:26:51 | pooloo | hi there |
| 20:27:31 | pooloo | does anyone know how to get sound working on 0.5 pre I've got all modules loaded |
| 20:27:36 | pooloo | but think /dev/dsp link or something similar is wrong |
| 20:28:12 | mtb | no joy BBrox, can't play a divx, gives a codec not found error |
| 20:28:15 | BBrox | still has a very old kernel |
| 20:29:00 | BBrox | mtb: hmmm, let's see what the problem is.... |
| 20:29:45 | BBrox | Errrrm, should have tried before sending it to you :-) |
| 20:30:40 | BBrox | Let's rebuild :-) |
| 20:31:39 | mtb | hehe - do you want a test movie? |
| 20:31:58 | mtb | oh, you see the problem? |
| 20:34:47 | BBrox | Please try this version.. If it still does not work, I would like to have the movie :-) |
| 20:35:19 | mtb | wait a mo |
| 20:39:51 | mtb | BBrox - It works!!! |
| 20:39:59 | mtb | And damn fast, well done |
| 20:40:29 | BBrox | Thanks :-) |
| 20:41:08 | mtb | ah - segmentation fault... |
| 20:42:53 | BBrox | Well, I suspect that there is some memory overrun problem lurling in the code... |
| 20:43:08 | BBrox | If you have the segfault at the same place, send me the movie, I will try to debug :-) |
| 20:45:35 | mtb | ddied 3 times at the same place |
| 20:45:48 | BBrox | So if you could send me the movie, it would be nice :-) |
| 20:46:21 | mtb | mplayer had no probs with the same file... but was muc much slowwer... |
| 20:47:18 | BBrox | mplayer must use a FP-based MP3 library => very very slow |
| 20:47:57 | BBrox | --- DCC RECV connect attempt to mtb failed (err=No route to host). |
| 20:48:05 | BBrox | Hmmmm, must have some FW problems :-/ |
| 20:48:22 | mtb | ahhhhh good point |
| 20:48:31 | mtb | hang on |
| 20:49:27 | mtb | if I chuck it on the skiff, can you get it? |
| 20:49:55 | BBrox | mtb: you could also mail it to me (bbrox@bbrox.org) :-) |
| 20:50:18 | mtb | ok, it is aprox 2 meg - on its way |
| 20:50:53 | BBrox | No problem, it's the mail server on my box... There should be no space problem :-) |
| 20:52:26 | mtb | don't laugh at the quality, it was single pass with the lowest bitrate audio I can manage:) |
| 20:53:07 | mtb | yeah, the mpley codec is useless |
| 20:53:17 | mtb | the ffmpeg one is on tho |
| 20:53:26 | mtb | ok tho |
| 20:53:55 | mtb | gawd it is nearly 7am, I'm off to bed, good luck with the file |
| 20:53:57 | BBrox | Even with ffmpeg audio it is slower than bbplay ? |
| 20:54:06 | mtb | much slower |
| 20:54:13 | BBrox | Did not get the file yet... Waiting :-) |
| 20:54:54 | mtb | thats Japanese mail servers for you... might get it next week |
| 20:55:42 | BBrox | Otherwise, you can give me the path on the skiffs :-) |
| 20:56:03 | mtb | still not there?? |
| 20:56:38 | BBrox | It's coming apparently : |
| 20:56:42 | BBrox | tcp 0 0 bbrox.org:smtp soda.bekkoame.ne.:62222 ESTABLISHED |
| 20:56:47 | mtb | thats it |
| 21:02:35 | mtb | I'M off - good luck |
| 21:02:51 | BBrox | Thanks :-) |
