So, will we ever have linux running on the Athena?
I guess we will.
Athena is now added to the hh.org tree, and it compiles, but i dont know if it is ever tested.
If someone like to test I can compile a kernel and make a initrd to see if it boots.
But again as allways, yo do it on your own risc.
Wow! Exciting stuff. I have absolutely no experience of Linux on a PDA although I use Ubuntu and SuSE on a daily basis. If I can help at all with any testing, I would be glad to. What kind of risks are involved? Don't fancy bricking my lovely new Ameo!

Well until now there havent been anyone breaking their device. I have tested Linux on Universal for over one and a half yers now, and it works just as i should.
But be aware of it might happend even though it's not truly that it will.
If you want to test you can join us at IRC #htc-linux at freenode.net
Call up me or a guy named cr2 to get some help and we guide you how to do it.

The risks are dramatic
is it just command prompt or is there a gui?

I'll do it if we can dual boot. I setup Linux servers all the time so I have a little experience. I'll try to join up on IRC...but let me know if you can dual boot between WM5 and Linux please.

Do you have USB host/device working? SD card? WiFi? BT?

Yes, that's a real pic. I can vouch for that. I have it running on my Athena today. Still being developed but they have a great start.

It's a command prompt, but you can't yet use it. The GUI just needs
a working touchscreen driver, which is actually available and working (AD7877 on HTC Apache).

I have not yet understood how the USB host is connected
(probably Philips, not the EPSON). AFAIK there was some attempt
of writing a linux driver for it. Since the docs are available, it
should not be a big problem.
SD card?
Click to expand...

No. It seems that it uses the ATI SD interface (like Hermes/TyTN)
which is completely undocumented. Some major work is required here.
WiFi?
Click to expand...

The chipset calls itself ACX100, but it's not exactly the same chip as used in the Universal (which works in Linux/Universal-Blueangel).
BT?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
TI BRF6150 like on the Universal (i.e. supported). The BT audio path
needs some coding, though.
Does Direct FB supported?
Click to expand...

It's the dumb framebuffer what you can see here.
The ATI chip is not exactly the same as on Himalaya/Blueangel
(supported on Linux) so some changes are required to get
the suspend/resume and HW acceleration working.
Wow! Good work guys. Keep it up!
Yeah, i tried the pre-compiled OpenMoko on my UNiversal, it was quite buggy but so cool to see it running!
If somebody ported the OpenMoko firmware to the Universal you would have the most amazing phone, wm5/6 for most users and Linux for crazy people
Its all great work, I cant wait to try it. I assume it will boot from SD card same as the universal one did? (just click windows .exe file and it reboots)

Yes. http://jornada820.sf.net/files/haret/athena-boot.exe
Just download this file and run it.
If the USB cable is connected during boot, you may even be
able to telnet to Athena (at least it works on Hermes, but YMMV).
Wow,can somebody post more pictures?

Expect better pictures when the EPSON ATA/CF controller for the microdrive is supported.
Ubuntu-mobile
GUYS - BARE IN MIND
UBUNTU IS RELEASING A WHOLE OS FOR PDA'S ETC.
THE SPECS SAY IT CAN RUN WITH 200MZ
SO WITH THIS 600MZ IT SHOULD FLY!
THERE ARE BUILTS CURRENTLY AVALIABLE OF UBUNTU-MOBILE ON THE UBUNTU REPS
SO CHECK IT OUT

I may have misunderstood but isn't the project on the link targeting UMPC's and not PDA Phones?
Yes.
Nothing about Ameo/Athena on there.
The OpenMoko project supports the Universal, I guess somebody will port it to the Athena soon.
What's the latest on the linux port? The wiki hasn't changed much, and there are no new posts here. Is the project stalled? Is there anything I can do?
Also, as a stop gap, is there a working X server (like Cygwin/X) for windows mobile?
Bumping an old thread in the hopes of new information. The unversal is going great - any idea for our unit?
is tv out for ppc possible?
yes
(you get what you asked)
how is it possible? where can i download a software?
this is only possible if ur hardware supports it^^ and to the fact that there are only very few devices doing so.... no chance for u^^

I've been waiting for HTC or anyone else to release a Windows Mobile PPC with TV out for years.
Finally gave up waiting and bought a Nokia N95.
Amazing device with great quality TV out. Shame it does not have a touch screen.
I actually stopped using my Hermes since I got the N95.
Hi!
A friend of mine has the Samsung Omnia and i saw a nice Application.
You take a picture of a bussines card and the program recognizes the words and you can make a contact imediately.
Is there such an app for the diamond? I searched the forum but i didn't find it.
Not aware of one for the Diamond but with Office 2007 Mobile you get OneNote, if you take a picture of the biz card in there, next time you sync with your PC the full version of Onenote will do that for you.
worldcard mobile can do the job

Unfortunately not all european version. I have an italian one and there's no trace of it, even on the cd.
World Card Mobile works.
The World Card Mobile is a trial
if you, people, really need it, can give out retail version)
WorldCard works fine with Diamond.. using it now..

Hi all, a few years ago I wrote this article:
http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/ppchack
I then stopped using that PDA. I've since bought an HTC Touch Pro to play with. What other Pen-test tools/network diagnostic tools should I look into?

that list is pretty comprehensive, it has all the ones i know about...
Handy Sniffer and Airomap are two that come to mind.
It would be nice if there were a decent port scanner for WM6.x.
This is going to be so stupid but the HTC HD 2 is classed as a Smartphone?

Hi,
In what respect?
Windows Mobile Smartphone / Windows Mobile PocketPC?
Or just a phone which is of higher functionality than a 'feature' phone?
I gatherd that SmartPhone is with a keyboard so I suppose its a PocketPC?

If you are looking for Windows Mobile software, the HD2 is classed as a PocketPC, but its classed in the phone market as a Smartphone.
It gets a bit confusing!
