Blue Angel Hyperterminal and Telnetl Via Bottom Connector

Hi there
Part of my job envolves monitoring data from various sensors, this involves booting my laptop, pluging it in, cause the battery fecked, hookin to the sensor, 3 seconds to check the data then pack it all away again.
I think I`ve found a Hyperterminal for ppc called vxhpc, looks like it has the right functions.
I have opened a plug that I have that connects to the bottom plug, and I can see 22 pins, but I dont know which one does what.
I`m after com1 wiring I think, it will mostly be RS232 signals that I`m monitoring.
The options in the software are:
Serial cable on com1
CAM1
IR Port
Com2 Serial on usb
there are a few more.
I assume serial on com1 is the obvious choice, but you guys and gals will know better than me.
So the pin outs of the bottom connector, and if anyone knows of a better software, that would be fanastic.
The telnet part, I also have some telnet software called Mini Telnet, Many of the systems I work on control ship engines and thruster, If i could connect to the engine managment system network via the XDA2S, I could, In theory, control the ships movement, and monitor the system aswell.
Unfortunatly, due to saftey reasons, all networks on ships are hardwired.
Is it possible to connect from the bottom plug to a network hub ?????
If so, do you know how ?
Thanks for all your help
All the best
Nikki

just noticed, the Wallaby and Himalaya have the same wiring, does this mean, chances are the blue angel is the same again ? maybe ??

okay, i have been investigating a wee bit, my findings so far, this is about the telnet side of things, if I`mwrong anywhere, please correct me.
Taken from the wiki site
5 ANALOG GND
6 RS232_DCD
7 RS232_CTS
8 RS232_TXD
9 RS232_RTS
10 RS232_RXD
11 RS232_DTR
So, RJ-45 to DB9 pc comport
rj 45 side -------------------XDA2s Side
1 DCD------------------------6 DCD
2 DSR------------------------?? DSR, i dont see this one on the list, is it important ?
3 DTR-------------------------11 DTR
4 SigGnd----------------------5 SigGnd, Plenty of these
5 TXD-------------------------10 RXD ???
6 RXD-------------------------8 TXD???do i have these the right way around ?
7 CTS-------------------------7 CTS
8 RTS-------------------------9 RTS
So, does this look about right ? and how important is the DSR signal, I`m unsure of it puropse.
Like I said, if you see anything wrong, at all, please post
cheers

If using com 1 make sure you have beams switched off in settings/connections, also disable any external keyboard driver if present as this too will take com 1.

screen type

hello, does any body know if there is a way of telling what type of lcd screen the xda2 and xda2i have without opening the phone? i have purchased a phone with a good screen bad broken connector but the screen connector is different to the two broken xda2 xda2i that i already have. i am thinking of trying to find a xda2 with a broken screen but i need the one with the ribbon type connector not the plug in type. does any body know? or does any body have a xda2 with the ribbon type connector that has a broken screen they want to sell me? all i need is the board nothing else, someone may have one lying around as i have two boards but of the plug in type connector.
thanks very much

screen
also sorry to be a pain, does anybody know if the screen i have with a ribbon connector will fit in another phone or pda?
thanks.

XDA II , XDA IIi screens
Hi the XDA II uses a Sony LCD Module P/N ACX502AKN-7. this is hard to find right now. I do not know of any availible
The XDA IIi and MDA IIi use a TD part. I have these in stock.
BTW: watch out for Chinese resellers from SHENZHEN China via hotmail accounts. They mostly scams, require payment to a Hong Kong personal accounts, and there is no recourse, warrantee, or reputation.

Where to find right replacement Mini-B Usb?

Hi,
My mini-B usb female connector (for charging and usb connectivity etc) is broken...
I need to find a replacement,
but I don't know what model it's exactly..
I don't what to end up ordering something I can't use :]
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

What is the Make/Model of your phone. Either you can send it to the original manufacturer/vendor if still under warranty or you can order from ebay.First know the maker and model No # of your phone like T-mobile,cingular,i-mate or At&tt etc and model like T-mobile MDA,vario, etc etc,ok
Cheers !

I have mine from www.techcenter.fr

It's an HTC Wizard, Wiza200. (Qtek in fact)

Looking for a replacement USB port for your Apache or Wizard?
Go to:

You're looking for "D" in the pic's (Mouser Stock No. 538-67503-1020)
I have purchased them, they fit perfectly!
Good luck

bioChaz-
My USB connector is broken as well. Have you replaced one yourself? I want to know how hard it would be to do, because I'm thinking of ordering the part and attempting it.

what about ppc techs. they repair and sell that part.

I've done it a bunch of times...it definitely takes a few trys before u get it right...if ur familiar w/ soldering then it should be fairly easy, but if not...it might be worth paying some one to do it for u...if the pads are ripped from the motherboard then they have to be retraced...that is even harder...then it is worth paying to have it fixed for sure...otherwise, there is always the upgrade

upgrade? i wish. bought mine off the streets. thanks

I knew I'd be able to get this part from DigiKey/Mouser, but I was just never sure which was the right one so I never bothered.
Thanks!

unknown Elf - where is JTAG?

Hi
I became the owner of unknown Elf. I know only this one was purchased on eBay then bricked by flashing incompatible firmware.
Today the Elf switching on and i can see the welcome screen only. When i connect the pda to my computer Activesync try to recognize, but can't obtain IP address (tried all the found Activesync IP address solutions, but no way). When i try to enter to bootloader (Camera + Reset) or make a hard reset (Red+Green+Reset) , i see the same welcome screen.
When the powersupply connected lights the blue led and Reg and Green buttons. When connected to the switched off, charging accumulator animation appears.
I tried to find JTAG contacts how read on pda2u forum, but no way too. No contacts in the place because the PCB is different (See atachments), but OMAP 850 onboard.
Anybody knows where can be JTAG pins on this board?
What i can do more to debrick?

You sure this was from a genuine HTC? Did you remove the stickers on the board?
Looks odd compared to the HTC Touchs I have....

Thank you for your reply, captainstu72.
I think, is not original, regarding Dopod site shortcuts in the firmware. But i obtained this PDA w/o any stickers, the glue only.
I reanimated this PDA by finding Hard reset combination (Green+Ok+Reset) but can't enter to the bootloader (not shortcuts [Camera+reset; ], nor EnterBootloader.exe does not works for this device)

As thats the case (the HTC shortcuts not working) I would suggest this is a clone.
You can trace the JTAG points yourself, it should just be a case of finding what pin out is what on the omap chip, and finding where it ends up. There should be a fair few bits on the internets about this, however, can take a bit of searching from my history with JTAG.
If you do it successfully, please bear in mind you will need to use the firmware for that phone, and the ELF firmware would not necessarily work.
I do find it odd you were given a phone with no stickers and not working. I'd say its stolen, as you have no way to check the IMEI now....

mk809iii or mk906?

I recently purchased a tv stick from China. The case is identified as mk809iii. But when I got to setup and the "about device" screen, it says the model is mk906 and so is the firmware. Can I safe to assume this is really a mk906? So if I want to update the firmware, I should look for mk906 software?
Another problem I have is I can't install drivers in to my Window 7 pc. I think I am supposed to push the reset button and insert a connected usb cable into the pc and the tv stick will get recognized. I made many trials without success. Are there any other method to install the drivers?

Have top open it up and check out the PCB layout and WiFi chip. I have a RK3066 that was sold as a MK906 but really a MK802iiis b.

Great idea!. I guess it is a mk906 since Netxeon_MK906_V2.0 is printed on the circuit board. How do I go about finding the new firmware?
