Has anyone managed to get usb hostmode working?
I tried pausing udev and then

Code:

echo host > /sys/devices/platform/musb_omap2340/musb-hdrc.0.auto/mode

as mentioned in
http://http://wiki.maemo.org/USB_host_mode and it doesnt work.
I understand that musb_omap2340 is another driver but hostmode is implemented in it.

What is the way (in the meantime) use software openGL? E.g. I tested glxgears from mesa-utils, I have installed libgl1-mesa-glx and glx-alternative-mesa, but no success:

Instead of libgl1-mesa-glx try libgl1-mesa-swx11

Yijpee!
glxinfo

Code:

direct rendering: Yes
server glx version string: 1.4 Mesa 10.1.4

glxgears

Code:

226 frames in 5.0 seconds = 45.104 FPS
153 frames in 5.0 seconds = 30.489 FPS

First is with screen dimmed and second is when screen is showing.

clutter-0.8 (compiled from fremantle) examples works too.

-----
I decided (at this phase) to not install/use any closed-source package. I have now compiled packages from maemo5, debian-squeeze and cordia (github).

My first milestone is hildon-desktop. It needs many libhildon related packages (including clutter) to compile and then bunch of more to install (and maybe some more to run).

Cordia contains hildon stuff for gtk3. I'm not sure that gtk3 is better (in any measure) than gtk2, but critical point is that original hildon uses forked gtk2 (it contains some 1000 commits over six years period by Nokia), and I definitely want get rid of it, so upstream gtk3 sounds way to go. Problem is that cordia doesn't contain proper debianization so I might been compiling more packages than really needed.

Squeeze is used because it is only debian which contains some hildon-stuff.
---------------
I'm also pondering what packages we need to achieve system which 'looks and feels as Fremantle'. (I think this is my goal?)

E.g. libosso:

Gtk3, as I stated elsewhere, has some changes which cater better for tablets so that should automatically drop some of the required changes. I'd really like to see Gtk3 and Qt5 as the main toolkits, or even just Qt5 if using a ported version of qildon.

I've been looking into required changes for hildon-components and they seem to be pretty straight forward. Replace declarative module with qml, rename included headers and so forth. Only big deal is if anything needs to use new scene graph from what I've read up on.

Have you had any luck with underlying components, if needed/worthwhile like bme, mce? Might simplify some of the scripts we've had posted so far.

Are you sure it's not a typo?
On my device there is only musb-omap2430

Hi Guys,

I tried by all the ways but i can't boot to Jessie. I followed all the steps from post 1 but no success! Trying to xzcat the file takes me an hour, with weird thing in the terminal, but does nothing to the card.
So I used Win32DiskImager-0.9.5-install under windows, to copy the image to the memory card, then copied the files inside 0.fat to /boot folder in the card.

When updating the boot menu, everything goes well, but when it boots it says no emmc0 or something like that!!!

I'm desperate

lol! Okay, not so desperate but i'm like

then I start over and over. What do I do wrong? Is it a problem of Ext2/vfat format or something else???

Assuming you are on linux, use

Code:

lsblk

or

Code:

cat /proc/partitions

to identify the device name of your card. Then use this device name in the xzcat jessie.dd.xz. I hope this helps.

thanks, i'm trying again under windows. If it goes bad, i'll try it under Ubuntu and post the results!!!

Edit: I put the SD card to the PC under Ubuntu, then i did

Code:

lsblk

the card is mmcblk0

so i did the zcat to /dev/mmcblk0

the weird symbols are showing in the terminal. I'll wait untill it finish!!

Wow, i think that i missed something!!!

the first command i typed was

Code:

xzcat jessie.dd.xz /dev/mmcblk0

without the " > ".

now when I type

Code:

xzcat jessie.dd.xz > /dev/mmcblk0

the result is:

Code:

boemien@boemien-VPCEL23FD:~$ xzcat jessie.dd.xz > /dev/mmcblk0
bash: /dev/mmcblk0: Permission non accordée
boemien@boemien-VPCEL23FD:~$ sudo xzcat jessie.dd.xz > /dev/mmcblk0
bash: /dev/mmcblk0: Permission non accordée
boemien@boemien-VPCEL23FD:~$

same result with:

Code:

boemien@boemien-VPCEL23FD:~$ xzcat /home/boemien/Téléchargements/jessie.dd.xz > /dev/mmcblk0
bash: /dev/mmcblk0: Permission non accordée
boemien@boemien-VPCEL23FD:~$

What is the right command?

PS: Permission non accordée means Permission Denied.
