| 04:52:45 | mchang | anyone know if I can upgrade to rom v1.77 without the parrot firmeware? |
| 06:19:54 | newbie | I'm a little confused, can someone explain the build a new kernel process...which toolchain, which kernel sources, what drivers, install method... |
| 09:53:16 | [2am] | hola |
| 09:56:28 | [2am] | ne1 awake? |

| 10:23:28 | XBO | looks that way |
| 10:24:16 | XBO | hmm so no way really to extract the rom from a 3800? |
| 10:26:48 | XBO | heck |
| 10:27:05 | XBO | is there any parrot mode on the 38xx to begin with |
| 11:21:22 | [2am] | XBO: url? |

| 17:59:50 | waynev | I went to the ipaq handhelds section |
| 18:00:12 | waynev | and am looking at the howto for installing linux on the system. |
| 18:00:38 | waynev | the backup/restore section is awfully unclear. |
| 18:01:04 | waynev | I don't want to create flamewars, but there could be some better writing. |
| 18:02:03 | waynev | While not particularly new to linux, I am new to my Ipaq in general, including linux-related issues. |
| 18:02:43 | waynev | Does anyone have some good pointers to doing the backup of the entire system prior to an installation? |
| 18:04:28 | sgodsell | waynev: yes |
| 18:05:19 | sgodsell | dd if=/dev/mtdblock/N of=/mnt/hdaN/your_backup_image_filename.jffs2 |
| 18:06:44 | sgodsell | The N for the if= is the number of the partition you are using. And the N in the of= is for the drive mount number or blank if you didn't use one |
| 18:43:20 | Perki | hi |
| 18:44:01 | Perki | does someone knows how the checksum on .nbf (compaq rom) fileis calculated? |
| 18:44:37 | Perki | it seems to be in the first 32 bytes (last 4 chars) but I don't know how to calculate it |
| 18:45:11 | Perki | the idea is to use the compaq usb software to load roms instead of doing it with a serial connection |
| 18:46:16 | Perki | hey.. anyone alive?? |
| 18:49:40 | mace | Perki: don't know, but you could try md5sum |
| 18:49:57 | mace | Perki: that is completely off the top of my head, though |
| 18:50:38 | Perki | well it's not md5sum, for sure (only 4 chars) |
| 18:51:49 | mace | haven't the faintest then |
| 19:53:28 | Aiwan | hi |
| 19:53:55 | edwardam | is away: I'm busy |
| 19:54:47 | Aiwan | I have some trouble getting a application using javasound apis to run on familiar 0.5 with blackdown's jse1.3.1rc1... can someone help me ? |
| 19:55:18 | Aiwan | (on an ipaq 3660) |
| 20:12:59 | Aiwan | hi |
| 20:14:13 | edwardam | Aiwan: not sure i can help ... But what's your problem? |
| 20:15:02 | Aiwan | I have some trouble getting a application using javasound apis to run on familiar 0.5 with blackdown's jse1.3.1rc1... |
| 20:15:30 | edwardam | need a little more info about what you are doing. |
| 20:15:36 | Aiwan | ok |
| 20:15:43 | Aiwan | i have an compaq ipaq 3660 |
| 20:15:53 | Aiwan | i installed handhelds familiar v0.5 |
| 20:16:03 | Aiwan | and blackdown's jave jse1.3.1rc1 |
| 20:16:23 | Aiwan | i have a java class which should just play an audio file |
| 20:16:58 | Aiwan | well... it simply doesn't :) |
| 20:17:06 | edwardam | How does the java sound api 'play' audio? Is it mono or stereo? |
| 20:17:29 | Aiwan | mono 11 khz 16 bit lowendian pcm (wav) |
| 20:17:49 | Aiwan | 44 khz stereo didn't work either |
| 20:18:00 | edwardam | The ipaq will only do stereo. |
| 20:18:27 | Aiwan | well good to know but the api should handle that, shouldn't it ? |
| 20:18:39 | edwardam | Just and FYI ... but if stero didn't work either ... I'm not sure ... I've never played with the sound api myself so I don't know if it handles it.. |
| 20:19:08 | Aiwan | do you know the javalayer mp3 player ? |
| 20:19:38 | edwardam | Aiwan: no ... not really. |
| 20:19:51 | Aiwan | ok |
| 20:20:23 | Aiwan | that would be the solution to my problems if it would work |
| 20:20:28 | edwardam | Aiwan: I was hoping your problem was the stereo issue .. |
| 20:20:33 | Aiwan | you can get it at www.javazoom.com |
| 20:20:39 | edwardam | Aiwan: Use scream :-) |
| 20:20:41 | Aiwan | i'll try that |
| 20:20:51 | Aiwan | just a second :) |
| 20:20:54 | edwardam | http://handhelds.org/~gberenfield/ |
| 20:23:17 | Aiwan | stereo isn't working either... just tested it |
| 20:24:44 | Aiwan | to play an audio file in java on the ipaq is essential to my major task so scream wouldn't help me :) |
| 20:25:25 | edwardam | what happens? Does it looks lik it should work? Or do you get an error? |
| 20:26:12 | Aiwan | it gets stuck |
| 20:26:25 | Aiwan | the audio device is busy |
| 20:26:36 | Aiwan | just doesn't play |
| 20:27:05 | edwardam | does madplay work playing an mp3 file? |
| 20:27:31 | Aiwan | yes |
| 20:27:37 | Aiwan | no problem with madplay |
| 20:29:28 | edwardam | hmmm ... I dunno. The blackdown jvm is on my list of things to play with ... I'd be willing to poke if you send me your code.... But I won't have any real time to play until after work |
| 20:31:13 | Aiwan | you can have the code... it is no secret... but not very "pretty" :) |
| 20:31:51 | Aiwan | i am afraid i cannot dcc the code |
| 20:33:54 | Aiwan | can i send it via email ? |
| 20:34:43 | edwardam | Aiwan: edwardam@handhelds.org |
| 20:37:15 | Aiwan | thx |
| 20:55:23 | Aiwan | well... gotta go now... cu |
| 21:47:20 | mchang | hey all |
| 23:03:49 | DragonEagle | is away: just away |
| 23:08:16 | horntuckin | hello! anybody out there using the stowaway keyboard w/ their ipaq? |
| 23:08:58 | horntuckin | i've got 2.4.16 running QTopia palmtop, and i can get the keyboard to work from a console by catting /deb/stowaway, but when the console goes away, so does control |
| 23:09:11 | horntuckin | i've tried stowd & but it barks about bad line discipline |
| 23:09:33 | horntuckin | and i'm at runlevel 4 so that part seems sorted. |
| 23:09:53 | horntuckin | all ideas appreciated! |
| 23:20:55 | horntuckin | nobody out there uses the stowaway keyboard successfully (in apps other than the EmbeddedKonsole)? |
| 23:38:00 | DragonEagle | is back (gone 00:34:09) |
| 23:48:57 | edwardam | I do |
| 23:49:21 | edwardam | But I do it with X apps. |
| 23:57:17 | DragonEagle | is away: reboot |
