I forgot which tool I was using to do the flashing .. May 03 11:05:13 ah right. 0xFFFF May 03 11:08:18 oh, this thing has uboot. how to get it to go in to flash mode then May 03 11:09:36 press u on cold boot? May 03 11:11:01 hmm. goes straight to uboot menu May 03 11:12:27 cold as in taken out battery? May 03 11:12:33 yes May 03 11:17:27 hrm, nolo should always looks for flashing request May 03 11:17:32 but it's short May 03 11:17:44 maybe your pc reacts too late, windows? May 03 11:18:34 heh, no May 03 11:18:42 debian May 03 11:19:03 dreamer: https://pub.parazyd.cf/N900/ May 03 11:19:06 why are you reflashing? May 03 11:19:23 sicelo: because I traded my n900 with parazyd May 03 11:19:29 since he doesn't need working modem and I do :) May 03 11:19:40 cool May 03 11:19:41 parazyd: I have RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin May 03 11:20:05 ok, also fine May 03 11:20:43 but. this install seems rather empty anyway. you used uboot to load from sdcard I asume May 03 11:20:53 yes May 03 11:21:04 you can just do a factory reset in maemo May 03 11:21:13 oh also note that it's in developer mode May 03 11:21:24 you can turn it off with 0xffff May 03 11:21:28 ok May 03 11:21:43 well. 0xffff doesn't see the phone yet. uboot is too fast :# May 03 11:22:06 or should it just bypass uboot when you press 'u' ? May 03 11:22:43 i guess so May 03 11:22:51 but it's in dev mode May 03 11:22:59 so you can just connect the usb and reinsert the battery May 03 11:23:12 while holding U May 03 11:23:19 hmm. thought I tried that May 03 11:23:42 what does dev-mode do exactly? May 03 11:24:30 see R&D flags when running 0xffff -h May 03 11:27:50 so, which one is the dev mode? May 03 11:28:17 0xFFFF -R 0|1 May 03 11:28:23 (disable|enable) May 03 11:28:54 ah, derp May 03 11:29:37 KotCzarny, anyone else who cares: What do you think of the new BlackBerry KEYone? May 03 11:33:32 i haven't seen it yet May 03 11:42:44 parazyd: heuh -> https://hastebin.com/dekadofuvi.vbs May 03 11:43:30 it's a hit and miss, try a lot of times May 03 11:44:10 Pali could help you more when he's around May 03 11:45:27 ok, took about 10 tries hehe May 03 11:46:00 yeah May 03 11:46:09 here it's weird May 03 11:46:20 i just flashed uboot, no /etc/bootmenu stuff :/ May 03 11:47:08 * dreamer doesn't know anything about uboot :# May 03 11:47:52 ok, time to put my backup back May 03 11:52:54 parazyd: isn't it in a separate package? May 03 11:52:56 (iirc it is) May 03 11:53:04 i don't remember May 03 11:53:44 u-boot-for-power-kernel? May 03 11:54:16 u-boot-tools I think May 03 11:54:30 i got that one May 03 11:54:33 I have u-boot-flasher and u-boot-tools here May 03 11:54:58 it's just u-boot-update-bootmenu, and gen-combined May 03 11:55:00 and mkimage May 03 11:55:06 but no /etc, or /boot files May 03 11:55:15 bah, this used to work May 03 11:55:41 strange May 03 12:00:15 parazyd: shit. you want your phone back now? :# May 03 12:00:29 nah, i can still boot from sd May 03 12:00:37 just wondering where the files are May 03 12:28:39 I don't really remember but maybe you have to manually create /etc/bootmenu.d (?) May 03 12:58:09 that dir is created by bootmenu at install time, at least according to `dpkg -L bootmenu` May 03 13:04:04 but I don't have bootmenu May 03 13:22:55 bootmenu? May 03 13:23:13 oooh May 03 13:48:58 ~lazyflashing May 03 13:49:30 also resets R&D-mode May 03 13:51:12 ~lazyflashing May 03 13:51:14 lazyflashing is probably http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#The_Lazy_Approach May 03 17:37:31 parazyd: kernel-power-bootimg adds /etc/bootmenu.d/20-Maemo5-kernel-power-2.6.28.10-power52.item May 03 17:48:37 Hello. I'm still trying to understand how gpio keys are read and converted into actions. I found out where the Linux codes corresponding to the keys are defined (in the dts). I found out where the numeric values of these Linux codes are defined (in a certain header file, included in the dts). I found out where the Linux codes for standard (keyboard) keys are translated to key names (/usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86), May 03 17:48:38 to be used in the symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51 file to define the corresponding symbols. May 03 17:49:22 :) May 03 17:49:53 Now I'm able to do (more or less) what I want with std keys, but not with the gpio. These produce strange symbols at login; after login, they do not work (just the volume keys, which correspond to f7 and f8, are mapped to the tilde). May 03 17:50:54 It may clearly be that the console is only listening to events from the keyboard and not from gpio keys; however, I don't understand why at login I get the strange symbols. May 03 17:53:15 by login you mean console login (spawned by getty or equivalent) on ttyX? May 03 17:53:23 Yes. May 03 17:56:39 bencoh A completely different topic: I have read some discussion today between you and parazyd about problems with bootmenus in u-boot, and trying to boot from sd card, am I right? Maybe I cannot say anything you do not know, but I had similar problems at the beginning of my adventure with the n900, and I found out how to boot from sd (thanks to Pali). May 03 18:13:27 bencoh: i'll give it a shot May 03 18:13:49 Enrico_Menotti: i'm not trying to boot from sdcard, but i'm trying to find the files that are mentioned in Pali's uboot thread May 03 18:16:06 Enrico_Menotti: looks like someone had the very same question on talk.maemo.org recently, for the same purpose (devuan), so your experience might help :) May 03 18:36:57 bencoh Can you link me to that question? May 03 18:39:54 http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1527271#post1527271 May 03 18:40:45 actually you could detail what works for you and what you had to configure as well May 03 18:45:17 Yes, DocScrutinizer05 asked me to do that. I should sit down and write what I have been doing - up to now, since I did not know what I could even do, I did not make notes, so it's all around in websites, opened windows in my computer, and my mind. :) May 03 18:45:56 On the thread you just linked here, I see they have some difficulties with the wifi. Mine works perfectly. May 03 18:47:06 I had been reading here: https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse. May 03 18:47:54 I followed the instructions about wpa_supplicant and wpa-psk. May 03 18:49:03 On the other hand, up to now I didn't use u-boot for Devuan. I'm still experimenting by uploading the kernel image by Nokia's flasher, booting it, and passing it as init parameter the location of the root file system. May 03 18:56:15 Enrico_Menotti, would be nice May 03 18:56:25 when I have time I want to try that too one day... May 03 18:56:54 Ok. May 03 19:14:17 Enrico_Menotti: actually that's not too bad a way of trying devuan without any modification to the flash May 03 19:14:21 quite a nice one actually May 03 19:16:14 well, it doesn't yield much benefit over using uBoot May 03 19:17:22 DocScrutinizer05, there you are ;) May 03 19:17:42 unless you'd consider uBoot itself a risky thing, which I think it usn't after 6 years of getting tested May 03 19:20:13 I think and know it isnt (harmful), but still **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu May 04 03:00:03 2017
