Block Device
 

I'm new at this but I did get a power injector built, and was able to mount a flash drive yesterday.

Today, I'm told it can not mount, a block device is required ??

Using a 700, in r&d mode, usb enables, and xtrem

Any Help, or do I re-flash (not much on the 770 yet)

Thanks

Re: Block Device
 

Try disabling usb host mode and then reenabling it.

Re: Block Device
 

mrlanrat,

Tried it this morning (by the way thanks for the reply), did not work. Is a bocking device hardware or software?

The only bash I've use before was a 3 lb hammer on an old pc.

Will keep your note on switching modes.

Thanks

Try reading my thread.

your device may be moving around.

Does that help?

mrlanrat,

Kind of took the weekend off, I read it and get back to you.

Thanks

Re: Block Device
 

mrlanrat

read the post and fanoush scrip. Silly question, how do I get the scrip onto the 770 and run it. Do I just copy it into a text file?

Thanks

Re: Block Device
 

You copy it into a text file somewhere on the internal flash storage (e.g. /home/user/). Don't put it on the memory card, as scripts cannot execute as easily from there.
When it's in place (e.g. /home/user/my-script) then make it executable with the following command:
chmod a+x /home/user/my-script (<-- this step doesn't work if the script file is on the memory card, so that's why we avoid the card except for maybe a way of getting the script copied into the IT in the first place)
(or just my-script if you're in your home (default) directory).
Then you can execute it with either of
or, just
which just means 'find it here in this directory' (the ./)
There are other ways, e.g. the script can be put in a directory included in the $PATH environment variable and then the directory part (the /home/user/ or ./) can be left off.

Ta-t3,

Thank, I figured I had to find another program (VI, VIM ??) to put the scrip into and make it work. Almost like a DOS Bat file (hope it didn't say a bad word)

I'll try it in the next day or so and post back. Thanks for the help

Re: Block Device
 

Yha your correct. I would recommend nano but those others will work fine.

Re: Block Device
 

Just to keep you up to date. Thanks for the help. I will not get to try most of you recommendations till Sunday, but, read some where else that I should flash my 770 in R&D mode, then out of R&D mode, Then flash again and set the usb to host, then onset it again. Well, it work to the point I can now plug the 770 into my Win box and access the mem card. This should make it easer to transfer the scrips and stuff. (Run the scrips off the internal mem)

I'll post again when I have tried all the other stuff.

Thanks Again

Re: Block Device
 

I'm back again,

Tried over the weekend the above, without it working. Used flasher to set to R&D mode and turn USB Host on, still no luck. Ran dmesg and got this

I'm searching for what is an "error -100" but have not found it yet.

Does re-flashing the 700 replace everything? or are there some info retained by the 770?

Thanks Again

Re: Block Device
 

Seems like the USB device isent supported. What is it?

Re: Block Device
 

Yep, all is gone. (except for whatever is on the memory card.)

Re: Block Device
 

mrlanrat

I re flashed my unit, but it still remembered what date it was. Is there a factory reset on this unit?

Re: Block Device
 

It may be similar to a PC clock in BIOS: It keeps the time even if you disconnect it from the wall... I don't think there is user accessible CMOS reset button/jumper in any of the Tablets.

Re: Block Device
 

Dear Mara,

Thanks.
I still trying to get the usb port working (error 100), any Hints?

Faithful

Re: Block Device
 

I dident re-flash mine when I did it. I just made the script and ran it, that was all.

If you have a usb keyboard try using that. it dosent require any drivers and should work automatically, and it will let us know if the usb is even working at all. maby your usb power inverted is bad?

Re: Block Device
 

mrlant,
Tried the usb keyboard, I can type, but hitting the enter key brings up the on screen keyboard. I saw something about that before, I'll have to find it again.

Flash drive is now listed as a scsi device, but I have not been able to figure out how or where to mount. Will try again latter

:) :) :)
Gave it another shot this morning, and it is working!?
Only thing is I not sure what fixed it. But what I did
a: set to r&D mode
b: with flasher, set to host mode.
c: checked batteries in power inverter
d: checked all connections.

This did not work yesterday, but plugged it in this morning and it worked. I'm a happy camper.
