Hi,
I am regularly watching linux-omap mailing list and today someone post a patch that adds support to omap850.
Patch is available here :
http://source.mvista.com/git/gitweb...9ae42d4;f=arch/arm/mach-omap1/board-fsample.c
http://source.mvista.com/git/gitweb...4;f=include/asm-arm/arch-omap/board-fsample.h
it would be interesting to checkout the tree in a few days and check this patch.
Another thing, recently I try haret on TI omap but omap wasn't supported because haret is using the bad registry to identify cpu.
On the ML someone was asking the following :
Is the OMAP850 currently detected exactly like the 730 via the JTAG ID (see
> > arch/arm/mach-omap1/id.c)
Maybe it could help.
Unfortunately I don't have time to work on it and I am not skilled enough in linux dev. to work on this but I can help developpers.
In a few days we should be able to download the linux kernel with omap850 support at this address : http://linux.omap.com/
I will keep you informed.
TI says that the OMAP is a processor that supports LINUX. So we know it can run linux, already, except if HTC has done something to make things very difficult.
(there is also RiscOS that can run on ARM9 devices... lol... )
Well, they say linux because the ARM9 core is supported by linux. The problem would lie in the fact this is a SOC (system on chip), the chip has many other system devices built into it. Now, and Joe Shmoe can go and write drivers for the internal circuits. TI doesn't want to give out the info needed to write these drivers unless you buy the chip. This chip isn't like any other chip you can go to Arrow.com and buy. I'm not that great of a coder, so I have to wait for the support to appear. I'm happy to it did, there may be hope for the EDGE modem...?
How do I beneficial?
Hi there,
May I know how do I beneficial (in terms of building a 2.6.2x kernel for OMAP850) from the following patch?

hi,
I've ann Elf with omap850
yeah it's a good news!
but in a few days what can i Download on this site? only the kernel? the interface?
news???
up
other news?
how i install Android on HTC Elf? i try a lot of version but i have always the same problem... white screen and stop.
??? still in progress for omap850?
Support
I hope so....I'm willing to start a bounty, if we can get Android on the OMAP (ELFin), it would be genius.

I'm really looking forward to it, pleaaaase, port it, pleaaaase.
Hello, I go to this - http://linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcuniversal/index.html - webpage, and I find old version of Linux distribution. They all start on my QTek 9000, but I'm not able to make call with none of them (apparently for them there's no network...). So, do you know where to find newer versions, that might have better driver support? I'd also like to see more versions that would be able to run from image files, rather than partitions...
Thanks
P.S.: Of course I tried to contact the guys at linuxtogo.org, both by e-mail and by IRC, but so far I've had no answer...
Hello everybody,
I'm Johan, I live in the netherlands and i'm doing a study Informatica->Software Engineer. For a schoolproject we have to write an Android Application, though i don't have Android running on my telephone natively. So i searched the internet and found out that on the XDA forums its all about custom roms and that there are some Android Roms available. Unfortunately nothing for my MDA Compact/HTC Magician yet.
After asking arround a bit and searching all over the internet I figured nowone actually was bothering to further investigate Android for Magician.
So even though I have no idea if it will ever gonna work i'm gonna try to document as much as possible, and I hope others might join this topic and give some (usefull!!) feedback.
These websites I think are the best place to start, as I don't have any experience with ROMS or Android-OS its gonna be a challenging task but if you guys have any idea's, suggestions or websites where we can find more information feel free to post comments.

as I have no idea about both of those 2 comments yet, I'll have to figure that out on the go.
It should be possible, someone already ported android to pxa270!
http://www.mask.org.tw/demo.htm
need to throw in a kernel guess i ll fetch yet another magician if that happens!!!
Hi header2k and evildarknight, thanks for the input.
My chinese/tw isn't to good, so i googled for android and pxa270 and found the following website, no idea if its any usefull (currently not at home, and my datalimit on my laptop dislikes downloading 1,3GB so i'll have to see what it is when i'm at my desktop again.)
http://www.ntut.edu.tw/~wyliang/
This looks interesting, if it comes to testing, you can contact me!
guess my chinese aint better
can't somebody anybody compile the android froyo kernel 2.6.32 for the magician which seems to be inline with ph5 dev???
I can't read chinese either, but i wanted to link to the pdf files:
http://www.mask.org.tw/data/Android_Porting_on_PXA270.pdf
http://www.mask.org.tw/data/BringUp_Android_on_PXA270.pdf (he used files from: svn co https://android-pxa270.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/android-pxa270 android-pxa270 )
He uploaded his work, too(with two mirrors, after 原始碼 (1.3GB) 下載位置: )
His machine:
[email protected] <-- identical with our magician
64MB RAM <-- identical with our magician
32mb ROM <-- Isn't important because he used an external usb-stick with chroot - We can use our sdcard and haret
Toppoly TD035STEB1 <-- identical wth our magician
Setting up Dev-Team
So this proves i guess its a done deal already
But is it then just theoretically/closed project? or did he indeed release his sourcecode as well? Sourceforge SVN shows there isn't anything deposited.
Anyway, still want to use this on my telephone, no idea what it takes to use/modify his work. Anyone interested in actually joining the project-team to make it run on a telephone? cause in the pics in the powerpoint i see some laptop and some mainboard and touchscreen but not a MDA Compact/HTC Magician yet.
There are copies of the project www.mask.org.tw/data/release-sourceforge.tgz and www.ntut.edu.tw/~wyliang/release-sourceforge.tgz. I don't have access to a linux box at this moment. Need to fix my PC before working on android.
Hello, This is Mask from http://www.mask.org.tw
Hello, I am Mask and I found there are some traffic from xda-developers to my website, so I come here and found there are some discussion of my work before in last year.
I had open an android project for pxa270 on sourceforge, but I didn't know how to upload my source code to sourceforge, so I put the source code on my website and mirror sites.
I hope maybe I could help you if you are interest in "android porting" and some related topics.

Yes, i have a question. Do you have a pxafb.c driver that works with android and the 2.6.32 kernels?
sorry about that I have no time to maintain my android project for pxa270, and now I have no plan to keep to maintain it, maybe we could upload whole developing source code including all svn reversion from begin to now, do you know how to import svn to sourceforge ? thanks a lot.
Here is some information on SVN and sourceforge.

Kernel
Can someone test this kernel and see if it works as I do not have a magician to test it with.
If it does boot can you follow the steps posted here to see if android boots...

I try to use kernel on Qtek S110(WM 6.1 by Cotulla), but get freeze screen on line "Jumping to Kernel...". When i use zImage from thread "Android 1.5 Cupcake on Universal" - again freeze on line "Jumping to Kernel...". Any ideas?
If you need to test something on Magician, contact me by ICQ 258113792.

Make sure you have the radio turned on and not in airplane mode and wifi and bluetooth turned off. Also the correct machine type 875 in the startup text file or 855 if using the one for the universal.
i think set MTYPE 875 should be the right one

When radio is turned on, Linux loading and stop on next lines:
1. With kernel for Magician
...

I wait more then 5 minutes, but nothing happens.
2. With kernel for Universal

ds1wm: ds1wm: reset failed
Device vibrate all time and after last line turn off display.

Ok, don't use the universal kernel, from what you posted it seems that the kernel is not pointing to the correct memory card path in the startup text file or try reinserting the card.
If anybody knows how to build kernels i can provide the files and walk them through how i built the kernel for the universal which i have just gotten a very slow and unusable eclair (mostly due to hardware) working. I think this is the most i can help out as i don't have a magician.
It will collect useful information for developers.
This theme will help us to work together and to finally workable firmware for our animal.
We kindly request all the people who will be able to find a device with a processor with us and with the support of two simkart inform us
here are the results of our work
I say in Russian user, but my goal - to attract users to develop firmware
already made several firmware versions
they were later executed and lay out the themes
If you like my work - please do not forget to say thanks!
In the course of communication will complement the topic.

than now to start a screeching halt with the network?
the same problem with port Leva ....
Need deodeks stock firmware files from the \ system \ framework
attempt № ...
So, what should be done next?
deodeks the \ system \ framework
this deodeksom run any of custom assemblies
deodeks will be used to launch a network of cyanogen
how? Step 1
through any deodeksator deodeksatsiyu do with API 10 - will necessarily be an error!
note on what files they are
the files that go with errors - remake with API 9
this deodeksom run any of custom assemblies
If that fails - Step 2
through any deodeksator deodeksatsiyu do withAPIs 9
this deodeksom run any of custom assemblies
this algorithm deodeksa other devaysakh with android 2.3. * and port drivers
put the logs of the work done for the analysis!
and if successful, run any custom firmware files with deodeksirovannymi - in enclosure attached archive folder deodeksirovannoy
Go for it! our success!

Nahim2k7-update
Good, I searched and read many tutorials on how to modify the rom of this model but without any result especially include new faces of the clock in the gif format with java tools shared by the user Golem.
My question is: How to edit the apps of said rom or do a complete rebuild of the firmware as Dr. Lex tries to explain on his website?
Because my model does not have some apps such as the calculator and the video player and FM radio.
But for example I do not need the pedometer or the sleep monitor for example.
Here I share my extracted rom and my SSC info compatible with sp flash tool. Because I have installed several rom and none of them works or the touch or the screen is inverted.
I hope you enjoy it and I await your comments.
Greetings and thanks to everyone from now on.
