hi guys
first off...sorry for posting the usual question...its been done to death
i have been out of the xda-dev site for a while and have lost track of things.
i always hoped himalaya linux would get done.... but from what i can see its still lacking the key components (eg phone support under gpe).
i am a uni student on placement at a company that actually writes mobile phone radio stacks...so i am learning embedded c and about the interesting side of the hardware/software interface.... now i want to actually do something about this lack of a fully usable phone.
my questions go as follows..
1> what is the current stage of himalaya linux ... i have a feeling the wiki's are probably out of date
2> is anyone actually still working on it
3> i know only a little about haret i get the idea it is also able to watch hardware (and isnt just a bootloader)...where can i find docs about using it to do this.
4> was jtag ever found on the himalaya
5> of the code in the tree what files are specific to the himalaya
i have much to learn on writing drivers etc for linux...and alot to learn about embedded c, reverse engineering etc....ok so i have a hell of a lot to learn....but i'm willing to try! (i also have 3 himalayas (1 has a bust screen) so plenty of tinkering can be done)
any other tidbits of information would also be appreciated
i think my basic goal would be the phone working.
after that get the other little bits and pieces
get the backpack cf working
get sdio and wireless working.
but these are the kind of goals that will take a long time so we'll see
i'd also love to work on the UI one day.. GPE and OPIE just dont toot my horn enough yet.
thanks

It is out of date, but some parts are in a good shape.
2> is anyone actually still working on it

Yes, because it has many common hardware and features with blueangel.
The kernel source is not being fixed, because it is decided to make blueangel
work first, and then reuse and adapt the cleaned code for himalaya.

There are no "real" docs, only the source code. Many pxa27x functions are
implemented in haret, that either work or need minor changes for pxa26x.

Blueangel is the authoritative source.

AFAIK, the phone works. But not with the latest 2.6.18-hh0 kernel.
This one has a lot of audio problems anyway, so it's not a major concern right now.
get the backpack cf working

It's a bit challenging. The backpack is implemented in so-called ASIC5,
and there are no docs for it.

You mean SDIO wifi card ?
The SDIO host can be done relatively easy, but good luck with the wifi part
I know 2 of them, one with the TI acx100 (should be doable, because
there is linux acx100 driver), another needs the firmware upload in Motorola
SREC format, maybe even prism2.
And there is no free software SDIO for linux, you need to do some heavy RE.
Hello guys,
I have got Himalaya and I would like to help with implementation of some driver/software that is needed.
So I have got a few questions (some of them are similar to tim_programmer's, but I don't know if there are not outdated):
1. Where is the current branch with Himalaya specific code?
I have found:
- K2-6-12-hh2-xda0-ba0 (http://xanadux.cvs.sourceforge.net/xanadux/linux-2.6-xda/) and
- K2-6-21-hh20 (http://handhelds.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/linux/kernel26/)
Is himalaya specific code that is in K2-6-12-hh2-xda0-ba0 already included in K2-6-21-hh20?
Or what differences are between these branches?
2. Is somewhere available (SD card/NFS) image with kernel+initrd+GPE that is already running on Himalaya?
I have found:
- http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaLinuxBooting
It boots, but freezes during boot (after some changes in initrd it was possible to connect to the MDA with SSH via USB bus)
- http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaStandaloneGPEWithoutSD
Link to GPE is dead.
- http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Himalaya
There are screenshots of GPE so it should be working image somewhere.
3. Is it posssible to boot some BlueAngel "distribution" on Himalaya? (Possibly with a little changes?)
I have found:
- http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngelHowtoInstallLinux
Could it be used on Himalaya?
4. What is the current state of Himalaya support in Linux? What is already done and what not (or partially)?
I have found:
- http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HimalayaToDo
But there is not mentioned of what branch state it is.
5. Is any other bootloader than HaRET with that is possible to boot to Linux directly from SD card without Windows booting?
I have found:
- bootldr (http://xanadux.cvs.sourceforge.net/xanadux/linux-2.6-xda/bootldr/)
What is it?
A lot of information about Himalaya development is outdated and I don't know where to start :-( So any help is welcome
Thanks

What kernel have you tried? What was the last message on display? Some old HaRET versions (e.g. 0.3.6) have a problem with big kernel and boot fails on mounting root fs. So try the newest HaRET 0.5.1 that goes fine.
Thankxxx alot..u are rite i have 0.3.6
here is what i have :
haret-0.5.1.exe
initrd-2.6.12.gz

Post this in other mirror.
Please
Can you upload to a more conventional site like rapidshare for those of us who do not speak chinese
I have spent a good one hour trying to guess a way out for downloading with rayfile with no success
Those 3.19 drivers still eat up 16 MB of valuable RAM.

Not able to understand why HTC is not bothering for valuable 16MB RAM while releasing the new set of drivers??

Hi, please check the other thread - bug reported
For the people who have not notice yet. (Just like me
Orijinal Thread FROM Raphael Software and the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478088
All the thanks to KDKOBES
NOTE-1 It is still under development. Please follow the orjinal thread.
NOTE-2 Although at some HTC Diamond, it was reported that with some small bugs, it is working. But for me with Official ROM Ver 1.35 NOT WORKED
Without any problem, I was able to install. But after then, When I try to start to program from "Programs / Multimedia/ Footprint" I get the following error message
"The file 'HTCFootprint.exe' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
NOTE-3 If you have enough space at your STORAGE, you can try and see if it works for you. Do not worry, UNINSTALL is working perfect, At least works for me
But please do not forget that **INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK, AS STATED BELOW IT HAS BUGS STILL**
Please also reports your results with ROM details
For the people wonders what the HTC Footprint is, please watch the youtube video.
HTC Footprints From Touch Cruise??

I stumbled across this video on the touch cruise and saw this cool feature which lets you tag locations via gps, with included text, picture, and audio note. I thought it was interesting and since i havent seen this feature here id ask if it was in the works of dumping and porting.

This version of Footprint is based on.......HTC_Footprint_1.01822.3925 (This is the 2D Manilla version, but will work with TF3D)
I have done some modifications to make this work on my Fuze, but it should work just fine on the Touch Pro, or Diamond. Currently this version does NOT have the "Footprint Tab" on the home screen. I don't have lots of time on my hands so bear with me on updates. If anyone wishes to step in and modify it more, its all yours.

Utility Link: http://www.4shared.com/zip/KBQLOO9d/TG01toT01A_Converter_Utility.html
How to use it:
There is 2 ways to use it.
1- Drop a TG01 ROM at the "TG01toT01AConverter" batch file, and a CMD window will appear showing the process.
2- Run a CMD and use the comand "TG01toT01AConverter rom.tsw"
In both cases, a file called "T01A_to_SP50_wm65.tsd" will be created if all it's OK. That's your ROM.
That's all, simple right?
I hope you enjoy it!
PD: The TG01 to T01A Converter includes my TG01 Tool set for simple ROM dumping and repack. If you need to redefine packages you should need to use l3v5y kitchen.
PD: This pack includes cedemish TGTool.
arag0n85 said:
Well, since finally someone has reported that my TG01->T01A method works properly, I decided to release for public a converter instead T01A/TG01 ROM's Version. In my ROM's threads, will be up to people to re-upload the T01A version and share the link, but I will only release TG01 version of the ROM and link to this thread.

you should not call MY TG01->T01A method yours just because you put it in a bat. maybe i should point you to tgtool 1.3.20 announcement post, your .bat is more or less a copy/paste of sample code there.
so how my tool+my sample = your tg01->t01a method ?

The TG01 to T01A Converter only needs tgtool and rom files, the rest of tools for this purpose is just bloatware.
keep up the great work
Long time ago, some old dispute, I think it's time to move on!
What each of you is doing complements each other's work, but giving appropriate credit in your every posting is just too much overhead. IMHO there's a bit of a wording issue, I'm sure arag0n85 didn't intend to claim this batch to be entirely his own achievement or neglect cedesmith's role/involvement.
I've seen some very bright members leaving xda-devs because their work was not treated here with due respect. I'm sure everyone would hate to see either of you go or give up your projects. The truth is that if you are not ready to witness other people using, reusing and even abusing results of your work, then either don't release it or protect it from abuse.
Take it easy. Peace...

The idea is easy. There is an instruction to extract payload from a tsw and an instruction to merge payload to a tsd. So, I placed the tgtool with a tsd rom with an empty payload side by side and a .bat file that calls the proper instructions for the conversion from a tsw file. The file is called TG01toT01AConverter, and you have 2 ways to act with it.
a) Click on a tsw ROM, and move it over the .bat and drop it.
b) Open a MSDOS Command Window at the directory and type: "TG01toT01AConverter yourrom.tsw"
In both cases you should see a file called "T01A_to_SP50_wm65.tsd T01A_to_SP50_wm65.tsd" as output.
thank so much your support. It have done, after converted i flashed it. Successful.
Enjoin it.
Can it be used to convert any new ROM in the future, such as 6.5.3 or 6.5.5?
Thanks

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
...
mmc0: new SD card at addess 41a8
mmcblk0: mmc0:41a8 SD01G 982 MiB
mmcvlk0: p1 p2 p3
Waiting for root device /dev/sdb2...
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.
