[PRJ][OS]Linux and Android on the blackstone

I would like to kick this off. should be not too difficult because blackstone has so much in common with diamond and raphael.
somebody brave wanna boot the raphael stuff? we got usb ethernet working on raphael and diamond in linux the other day. it's all in the kernel build from here

count me in

I uploaded the blackstone dump mmu from joshjdevl here http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/misc/blackstone-mmu.txt
could somebody post the early haret log ? create an new file called earlyharetlog.txt in the haret directory and run haret. it will create haretlog.txt with extra info. pastebin or post it directly here

attached haretlog.txt

hi, i tried to load the following, though it gets stuck again
initrd from http://www.netripper.com/raphael/initrd-netripper-busybox-usb.cpio.gz
bootkit from linuxtogo.org/tildelgorris/kaiser-bootkit
progress bar goes to 100% though nothing happens in haret
this is my default.xt
set MTYPE 1553
set KERNEL zImage-kaiser-new.bin
set RAMSIZE 0x7800000
set RAMADDR 0x10000000
#uncomment the following line and comment the set INITRD line to boot from the 2nd partition on micro sd
#set CMDLINE "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait fbcon=rotate:3"
#set INITRD android.bin
set INITRD initrd-netripper-busybox-usb.cpio.gz
#if you want to use the angstrom console image use the following line instead
#set INITRD console-image-20081127.cpio.gz
bootlinux

presumably you cant get a verbose output during that 100% progress bar (is that kernel start up or init?).
shouldnt this be discussed in ROM devel forum though? it'll get lost in here is all i mean.

HTC HD2 HaRET for Android Help!!!!!!!

Hi,
when i tried running the Haret soft ware on my phone with the defult.txt document i kept receiving PLEASE SET START OF RAM (RAMADDR).
So i opened the default doc
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1667
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
but when i added
set RAMADDR 0X10000000
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000
set MTYPE 1667
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
and tried running the Haret i get a whole new error message saying
terminating Haret due to unhandled exception
what does that mean. Please help and Thanks in Advance.

just making sure... but are you running it from your sd card?

im sorry but how hard is it to read the post FAQ & Instructions on hd2 android discussion?
download > extract > copy paste into sd card > run Haret and ur done

OP: you have the wrong device type (mtype) specified... Leo = 2524. mtype 1667 = HTC Kaiser, I believe...
set mtype 2524
set ramaddr 0x20000000
set ramsize 0x0fc00000
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set initrd_offset 0x00a00000
set cmdline ""
boot
If you have a Leo (HD2), then you grabbed the wrong startup (and likely wrong HaRET version)

Haret
My T8585 won't boot with
set cmdline ""
It has to be
set cmdline "mem=128M"
Don't understand why.

check your radio.
I had this problem after flashing an official ROM. Took me ages to notice it had installed a lower Radio

Assuming you have gotten andoird working - why dont you just use this setting
set RAMSIZE 0x1A000000 (412MB) = 32*7
HD2 has 484MB right
I Tried 0x1C000000 - but that bum'd out .. so reducing it by 32MB , (maybe the working memory needed for the loaders to work ? .. who knows) ..
works fine now ..

uhmmm....it should be called startup.txt not default.txt, that's a good place to start (no pun intended)

Here is my issue
Downloaded the American Android 2.3 for TMOUS->Extracted Android folder to blank SD card /sdcard/Android->Opened up file manager on HTC HD2 /sdcard/Android and ran clrcad.exe got the untrusted popup clicked okay->Ran haret.exe got popup again clicked okay then saw a few white command lines (maybe 5) then the green HTC logo appears and sits there for ever. I let it sit for 30 min and no change had to pull the battery and restart windows. Phone is up to date only difference might be is it has been unlocked through T-Mobile. Does anyone know how to avoid this?

Yeah i got the same problem, tryed to change the, rel_path location in the, startup.txt but nothing helps :/

If you find a solution elsewhere let me know, I'm still looking. Are you trying to install the American Android 2.3 Gingerbread ROM? That is the only one I have tried because I have heard it's the best with fewest bugs.

zimage.FULLRAM WITH WIFI AND EVERYTHING DONE HERE

(thanks again to ripnard) zimage and wifi fix 12 aug 2010
Ex2 and setup.txt and latest zimage - packaged here for Mattc 1.5 only.
as Before:-
Download Mattc 1.5 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736545
(I also use the rootfs on the first post that creates a 1gb Data img data store file on first boot, rather than 512mb )
Save/Unpack the mattc 1.5 zip to your Android folder on root of sd card
Then download the "build fix" below and unpack the 3 files again into sdcard/Android folder, overwriting the existing files.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=01SJXE04
This link includes the latest zimage (for 422mb full ram) from here: http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild/
zImage-htcleo-latest 12-Aug-2010 14:46 2.0M
and the latest wifi driver included in (believe this enables wifi n?)
modules-htcleo-latest.tgz 12-Aug-2010 14:46 842K
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also (i case you want super fast speeds here is a Mattc fix patch (deploy as per above and instead of) that includes the undervolted (925mv instead of 1050mv so should save battery) and overclocked to 1.11 ghz and full ram (422mb) zimage from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?t=746997:- zImage_925mv_v0.3.zip (with thanks to huanyu !)
This also includes the respective wifi patch.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GU0RI61Y
With the second one I now get 30fps in neocore, 1550+ in quandrant and 41 MFLOPS in linpack
Note: On both of these builds wifi works fine - it just doesnt start at bootup. You have to turn it on by going into the wireless settings and ignoring the "error" status and enable it anyway
{thanks to ripnard} 07-aug-2010
Download Mattc 1.5 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736545
(I also use the rootfs on the first post that creates a 1gb Data img data store file on first boot, rather than 512mb )

Then download this below and unpack the 3 files again into sdcard/Android folder, overwriting the existing files. #
(Note: I have renamed the file "zimage" to "image" and it will use that in case you want to return to the orginal non full ram zimage (think its 384mb the orginal) . Also setup is editable back to old settings)

Sleep Of Death
it usually occurs when you put the phone in sleep and it doesnt wake up, the screen turns on, but it's pure black. hard reset/batt pull fixes this, it's just a pure PITA >_<
and you can use this with anybuild

is your android version in an android folder or in the root of the sdcard?
and what version as well...
what you might want to do is use the original startup.txt for your build and replace the ramddr and ramsize with the one i have in mines, thats really the only difference

aww yea... thx for the startup file, working much more responsive with the full ram, on the Mattc r1.5 Frodo, lol.

Hello guys !!!
So I am endrix and I am trying to port the linux kernel to our Toshiba TG01. I am an h.264 developer who loves linux. Many of you may hate the phone (I do a little too) because of the crappy windows mobile operating system that Toshiba has offered us. Beside the resistive touch screen our phones have a strong processor that is used almost in each smartphone (ok Samsung and Apple are not using snapdragon but is still Cortex A8).
So to the main point!
Firstly is not an easy task and I do not somebody to write in this thread when Android will work with our phones, I truly do not know if I will (or we will) achieve this! Secondly think to contribute as you can to this project, I am here to guide you if you have any questions about how to compile the kernel and if you have any other problem just send me a message or write it in this thread!
My git repository of the TG01 kernel is this one
github.com/endrix/kernel_common
System compilers and libraries:
I used the one given by source.android.com
apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev.
certainly you do not need all of them but is ok to have it
So how can you compile the kernel?
Steps:
Use an Ubuntu Linux distribution or virtualise it with Virtualbox
I am using this cross tools: arm-2009q1-203-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2"
in my system I have created a directory in my /opt folder, to that just do "sudo mkdir /opt/cross"
Now go to the directory with "cd /opt/cross"
now rember where you have download the tar archieve and execute the following command, in this command i have downloaded my tar in /home/endrix/Download: so for my directory I do " tar xjvf /home/endrix/Downloads/gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2"
Now that we have our cross tools installed in our system is it good to create an eviromental varibale to easy our task of ceoss compiling. do this command "gedit ~/.bashrc" and at the end of the file put this line: export CROSS_TOOLS=/opt/cross/arm-2009q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
now execute this command "source ~/.bashrc" so that you command can be activated for the current command, the next time that you will open another console or reboot the varibale $CROSS_TOOLS will work
This is all for the cross tools
Next step Compile the linux kernel:
Create a directory for example "Projects" in your main directory(home), "mkdir ~/Projects"
Clone the repository of my git address: "git clone github.com/endrix/kernel_common.git"
Now you wait, take a coffe or eat a fruit
now you execute this command in the "kernel_common" directory, "make ARCH=arm htcleo_defconfig"
and then to compile the kernel" make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_TOOLS Image"
To make the process even faster if you have a multicore system, put -j4 (for 2 cores) or -j16 (if you have an intel iCore7 with 4 cores double threaded), that means, "make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_TOOLS Image"
After a while depending you system you will get the kernel image file in the arch/arm/boot directory
So now you have the kernel compiled
Next step test the kernel with Haret:
1) Create the file default.txt with :
set mtype 2675
set ramaddr 0x11800000
set ramsize 0x18C00000
set kernel Image
boot
2)Download My modified version of Haret with TG01 support!
Haret for TG01
3)Create a folder in your sd card --> "ToshDroid and put the Image the haret.exe and the default.txt in it.
4) Finally execute the haret.ext and clik on run!
That's all folks! Now I am focusing in the Memory Map...
PS: sorry for links, As a junior member i cannot give a full url
I will update also my blog too for TG01

Hi endrix and welcome to xda-developers
I very much appreciate your work.. i've the same device.. it's a beautiful phone.. with a powerful hardware.. but windows mobile is not worthy of the hardware it runs on.. so we look forward for a release of android!
BTW.. i'd know what do you need to do your work.. can you make a list of thing that you need to accelerate your work? the first thing is compile android kernel.. but next? need you we post results? how we can fix the errors?
Sorry for my english but i'm italian.. and thank you.. hoping to see soon a first version of android..

Image Compiled without errors..
running haret it stops to "Jumping to kernel(custom). and freeze..

isikil87 : Ok! forgot something!
Do
1) make clean
2) git checkout android-msm-2.6.32-tg01
3) make ARCH=arm htcleo_defconfig
4) make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$CROSS_TOOLS Image
actually I am working on the android-msm-2.6.32-tg01 branch

compiled successfully...
boot ok.
jump to image ok.
linux pic visible.ok.
now we need the right address to write memory.

Cool !

Exactly, the framebuffer is wrong too i think the addresse in the msm_iomap is not correct
#define MSM_RAM_CONSOLE_BASE IOMEM(0xF8010000)

For the moment the kernel has a problem because I have not figured out all the memory addresses and the reset is normal. Now you have to wait for a long time till we achieve to find the memory values. For android is another story if the kernel does not work correctly android will not work!

[Q] Strange keyboard at the top of the screen

Hi there!!
I've just installed the Xdandroid FRX07 version on my HTC Touch HD and everything went fine, but from the begining of the installation an small keyboard appears at the top of the screen and it remains there.
I can't see what is behind and I don't know how to take it out.
Can you please help?? I attach a picture...
Thank you very much

moved to the android section

lolwut?
It has nothing to do with your kernel. OP, please paste your startup.txt in code braces. [ code] text goes here [ /code]
Code:
Like this
Anyhoo, there's a setting in thar
Code:
msmvkeyb_toggle=off
That if it's set to on (or not set) you'll see that virtual keyboard.

I added another line in the startup.txt:
Code:
set cmdline "msmvkeyb_toggle=off"
so my startup.txt looks like this:
Code:
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2030
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmvkeyb_toggle=off msm_blackstone_pad.vibrate=1 gsensor_axis=-2,-1,3 pm.sleep_mode=1 physkeyboard=blac"
set cmdline "msmvkeyb_toggle=off"
boot
However, it still appears when I run FRX07.1 from a directory.
When I run root of the microsd, there is no keyboard.
However, for some strange reason, without the second "set cmdline" to toggle off, the keyboard appears even if I run from root.
