how do you want to do this, by using and controlling another GSM card than the one irex used in the 3G models or by using a wifi capable SD card as someone else mentioned in the forum ?

The real question for me is how to get a working development environment. I'm a bit of a newbie in this department and would really like something that 'just works'. So far building kernels hasn't been a problem. But how to get a working emulator without the stuff in debian.o-hand.com? I guess I can just try and get back to this thread when I get stuck. |

All the DR devel packages goes in "/usr/local/poky" directory so you won't mess your desktop. An additional problem when using a VM is the screen resolution. In the devel machine you will also run the DR emulator, and unless you have a graphic card and monitor with high resolutions, you'll need to switch to fullscreen often to see the complete DR screen. Quote:
1. check you have installed the packages stated on section 2.1 (common devel packages for a linux machine) 2. install sdk as section 2.2 says (i.e., uncompress and copy into /usr/local/poky), and don't forget the "environment-setup" shell script to enter into DR cross-compiling environment.

PDF annotations not working
Quote:
FWIW there seems to be a connection between annotating and the device not suspending properly. When I suspend it while viewing a page that I have annotated, it the LED continues flashing after the screen has gone blank. If I remove the annotations (by editing the metadata.db file) then it goes back to normal. |

Anyway, I agree, the suspend problem must be related to this. So I can think on different possible causes: - have you modified the kernel or the boot process? - do you write annotations with previous old versions of IREX firmware (1.0 or 2.0.beta)? |

Do you have the same issues with new pdf files added recently to the DR? If so, my above hypothesis would be wrong. |

With the introduction of the taskbar, there are 3 icons per row in home screen. Can you remind me how to change icon size so I should have 4 icons per row?

Anyway, take a look at file /usr/share/ctb/ctb.rc lines 57-58. These values control the size of the cursor rectangle in CTB. Code:
erGtkIconView::item-width = 187 erGtkIconView::item-height = 187 Do you know that in DR800+ v3 or higher you can toggle taskbar visibility? Set a default for you in SD_card/System/dr.ini and click on menu option when you want to change temporary. Nowdays I usually have it hidden to get more width for the books I'm reading. Iņigo |

I had to actually use my DR800 for my real work the last few days so been running old firmware.
Quote:
Is it possibly connected with the version of the version of the file that had to be extracted from the DR1000 firmware? I found that the version mention in the README file (0629) didn't exist and I used the version I could find (beta2) instead. |

The only other strangeness I found, the clock not refreshing on page turn, is still there. |

Can't remember exactly last changes, but maybe we changed the refresh to avoid leaking much battery. |

Another question about the bootloader...
I've been trying to build different kernels in the hope of getting USB OTG or hostmode to work. I did manage to build and install a slightly modified version of the stock irex kernel by replacing the kernel.bin with the new zImage and rootfs.bin with a new jffs2 file in System/updates. The DR800 then went through its firmware upgrade process as normal, and booted up with the new kernel. Strangely though it didn't install the new root filesystem. Maybe I built it with the wrong arguments (?)
Anyway so far so good. Then I made some more ambitious changes to the kernel, went through the same procedure and found that it wouldn't boot. I even tried building a bleeding edge 3.0.0 kernel, with the same result. It would be good to get a bootlog from doing this to see if I can work out where in the boot process it is crashing. Modifying /etc/syslog.conf allows a syslog to be created. But logging to a file on the SD card is no good because the DR800 crashes before mounting the SD card. And logging to the internal flash memory is no good because it gets erased when I reflash. (OK slight contradiction, if I could reliably replicate the scenario where the kernel gets reflashed but the root filesystem doesn't it might just work, but I've not been able to make this happen). So having got this far I thought I'd put the question out there whether anyone else has experimented along these lines or has any other information about the boot loader. |
