Hello,
Anyone interested in porting linux to HTC Hermes? The Samsung processor is currently supported by vanilla 2.6 kernel
I tried running GNU HaRET 2006070419 version, here's the output of some commands:

I don't think the Samsung SC32442A-400MHz processor is supported by this version of HaRET, but I found a page in russian where there is a version of HaRET for s3c2442 processors available!!
Here is some interesting output of this haret version:

Samsung has also published manuals and datasheet of the processor, available here:

More information and kernel patches for Samsung SC32442A procesor can be found here:

So, we have a lot of work to do... any developers able to help?
Wiki page
I've created a page on the wiki for the Hermes Linux port here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Linux
Forgive me for asking, but why would you want to put Linux on this device?
We've got enough issues getting support for the WM5 ROMs, don't you think?
If there's a good reason, I'd love to know what it is!

If there's a mountain to be climbed... :wink:
That's what I figured... Good luck!
Well, may be climbing that mountain is the main reason. But here you have another, in my opinion, interesting reason:

What about running the "DUMP MMU" with gnuharet ? You can also try other commands
(POWERMON 10; NLED*)
They are ported from itsutils and should not depend on the CPU.
Hey cr2! Sorry for the late reply but I didn't see your post before
With gnuharet, powermon 10 works, shows this:
Code:
HaRET(4)# powermon 10
2146258 1 70 % 3792 359 0 410 0 0 -1 -1 0 255 255 0 -1 -1 0 0 0 4
2147264 1 70 % 3792 359 0 410 0 0 -1 -1 0 255 255 0 -1 -1 0 0 0 4
[...]
Also nled* commands work, I can make the device vibrate with "nled on 1" and stop it with "nledoff 1", etc..
The MMU DUMP was ok with gnuharet, see attached file!
I also updated the wiki page with some info about the Hermes hardware, as there are now pictures of the chipsets available, see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=279151
yep.
got one. busy with htc sable. start when i'm done or bored.
Glad to see that lkcl and cr2 got an Hermes too
This sure means we'll see a linux kernel booting soon!

It sure would be damned sweet to get rid of M$'s OS on this device! By the way, how is Qtopia and other Linux PDA "stuff" doing these days? The last time I tried it was back on my IPAQ in... 2001 I think.
You have GPE and Opie as the main graphic environment used in handheld devices those days.
It seems that soon a new environment called OpenMoko will be released under a free license too, this one is more phone-focused than the others.
pof
thanks for the post , im glad i came across it,
somethings been on my mind for the last few days, a mate at work is always on about Linux so it got me thinking, id like to give it a try on my TyTN
Iv got 2 questions for you,
first is there a newbie guid to running Linux on PDA's il have a look on wiki next im sure il find something. is there any that you guys can recommand which you have found helpfull.
2nd Now this is the question thats bugging me,,,,,
Can we run 2 OS on a PDA????
is this poss? to have a dual boot option when the PDA starts so we can select either Linux or WM05, both on there own will run on the device, how about installing both at the same time, and then being able to boot with one,
just some thoughts>?
I might start another thread on this just incase this thread isnt getting anymore traffic
well time to get back to work and start doing the job im actually getting paid to do

Depends very much on which device you want to run linux, on the Hermes is not possible yet. But for the Universal or BlueAngel you have some guides here:

You have WM5 on your flash, and Linux on the SD card. You start your pda with WinCE and then browse to storage card and run gnuharet.exe which will "destroy" WinCE and boot the Linux kernel and initrd found on FAT32 partition of SD card. Then from initrd, you mount the root filesystem on another partiton of the SD card...
pof thanks for the quick reply
il b ereading up on the guide links you have given,
also just to clarfy point 2

Today 02:05 PM
------------------------
by this means can we boot with WM and then run Linux from SD card once this is run would WM be completey wiped from device memory? so any data we had on the device for WM will be lost,
just so im explaing myself propley, i was wondering if you can keep both OS on the device and SD card boot from WM when you need that and when you want to use Linux boot with Linux but without losing you WM5 data etc.
same as some of the apple macs that can boot with windows and apple oc from the same machine and switch between the differnt OS's
thanks for the quick reply,
Iv got a collegue with universal I wonder if he will let me borrow his Universal??? lol
You can boot linux from SD card and you don't loose any data on WM5 when you shutdown linux and go back to WM5.
pof thanks mate,
il be hopefully running Linux on my Tytn,
you never know,,,,,,,,,,, by the time i learn and update myself on linux it may running on our devices
all the best to anyone else also trying!!!
I would love to try and help you guys, but i haven't got much experience in these kind of stuff. Where should i start looking for more info on the project?
The status of hermes linux port is always updated at this wiki page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Linux
All development happens at #htc-linux in freenode irc server, but unfortunately as of now there's not a booting kernel yet for the Hermes, so you need some knowledge of low level programming to help at this stage.
i actually have studied low level programming with assembly and c, but i'm not that familiar with kernels :-/.

After analyzing the archos froyo source package I've found out that they already have a package for the linuxtv-dvb-apps project but disabled it This makes building a lot easier, as I don't have to write my own configs and makefiles
I updated it to the newest HEAD checkout of linuxtv-dvb-apps and then I've wrote some script which make the build process so much easier (unpack one tar archive, copy the froyo release package into same folder and run a script..)
I'm currently testing the build process and try to minimalize it (for fixing and upgrading, in the end I only have to build it once)
edit: update in OP
would a micro usb host cable work to connect a hauppage 950q? Not sure if there's enough power.
edit: talking about the a70
I don't know if power could be an issue at all.
Is the HVR-950Q supported by linux kernel?
you can count me as a tester...
have a bunch of different dvb-t sticks and a dvb-s2 usb and have some experience in LinuxTV especially with vdr.
very interesting. would like to test with my A101IT and Cinergy Hybrid T XE.
got my dvb-t (hauppauge nova-t) stick yesterday, works great with windows AND linux (ubuntu 10.10). looking forward to next steps in a few days.
btw: great solution for (possible) perm root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880321
I wasn't able to sleep so I kept working
built dvb kernel modules and wrote a script doing all the insmod stuff
copied firmware for my dvb tuner
baaam! device gets recognized!!!!
crossbuilt w_scan
YAY! Now I can scan for channels and I finally have found all of them!
hi guys, it's me again
still not sleeping (3:55 AM local time) ...
here is my first package (so far only dvb-t drivers) for some early pre-alpha testers:
install SDE
install custom kernel+initramfs from dogmaphobia: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880321
copy content of zip file to internal storage or sd card, don't forget to disconnect usb
boot SDE (rooted android)
start terminal -> run "su"
run "sh .../setup_dvb-core.sh"
run "sh .../load_xxx.sh" (create your custom script if you need another module than me)
plug in dvb-t stick
check "dmesg" if your device got recognized (don't forget firmware if needed!)
run "w_scan -ft -c$$ -X > channels.conf" where $$ is your country code (CH for switzerland for example, see w_scan help)
check channels.conf if all channels got recognized
post feedback in this thread (!!)
package download: --obsolete--
I just donated you a 10.
Even though I can't test as I don't have SDE installed yet, I wanted to say thanks for all your efforts for this! It is always ppl like you who make our devices worth a lot more for us with functions I didn't even think of when I bought it.
THANK YOU! Keep up the amazing pace!
/schaze
Volunteering too.
Archos 101, latest froyo updates, pctv usb 73e which works on recent linux kernel
Would looooove to see this working. Thanks
@schaze thank YOU very much, I appreciate this!
@bkortleven great! I'm currently working on a first TV app so we can see for the very first time if it is really working.
omg.. I start loving sleepless nights
another little step for mankind but a big step for this project
explanation:
after writing several bash scripts, I got an easy cross build environment for maybe any kind of source code.. so I managed to cross compile tzap (and szap / czap) for tuning and guess what...... IT'S WORKING!
here is a short recording (# cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > test2.ts) of swiss television. recorded using an A101IT and Hauppauge Nova-T stick
http://www.mediafire.com/?1artz78aarly34g
PS: a new package for testing will be released soon, v01 has a huge bug because of how it mounts /lib/firmware .. don't use it
Amazing work man! Looking forward to this, do you think it might work on my Archos 70 Internet Tablet ? or does it need more power than the 70 can give out? (might be able to do it anyway with a powered hub)
Thanks. I don't know, are there any hardware differences between A101IT and A70IT?
UPDATE:
v02 is available
Download
+ = new in this version
dvb-t usb driver kernel modules
setup: setup dvb_usb core driver and install dvb utils
+ loadmod: shell script for easy firmware and kernel module load (only insmod -> no modprobe on this system)
+ rmmods: shell script for unloading kernel modules
+ ..zap: zapping utility
w_scan: scanning utility
HowTo use:
install sde and permroot by dogmaphobia (read this)
boot rooted android
copy content of zip file to internal storage ( e.g. /mnt/storage/dvb )
run terminal
Code:
# su
# sh
# cd /mnt/storage/dvb
# sh setup
# sh loadmod mod/<KERNEL_MODULE>.ko
plug in dvb-t usb stick
# w_scan -ft -c<COUNTRY_CODE> -X > channels.conf
# tzap -c channels.conf -rSp "<CHANNEL_NAME>" &
# cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > test.ts
cancel with ctrl+c after some seconds or minutes
# killall tzap
[# sh rmmods] (optional)
# exit
now you should have some recording of your selected channel under /mnt/storage/dvb
copy it to your computer and watch it with VLC or some other video player
Don't forget to report your issues or success here! Thanks in advance!
I picked up a couple 32GB class 10 Samsung microsd cards and I was just curious. I know FAT32 has a 4GB or so file size limit.
Does anyone from experience know what filesystems Samsung stock firmware supports for file system types such as FAT32, NTFS, exFAT? Or possibly using a Linux based program to do EXT2 or EXT3 but I would need to be able to put files on it via a Windows PC.
Mainly for the reason that I want to be able to put my ripped movies onto the memory card and watch them on the phone. I usually save them in a MKV or AVI format.
- Dan
good question as i have the same card as you
If it is like GS2, it will only support FAT32 and EXT2/4. There is zero chance it will support either NTFS or exFAT.
I just formatted a 2gb spare card to NTFS and tried in my ics'd captivate. No luck. Looks like itll take some tweaking to suppurt it, even with ICS
It's not tweaking. You need the filesystem support from OS. NTFS is not free (need licensing fee) and much of its complex security stuff are not fit for non-Windows OS.
I can see exFAT could be supported down the road when Google feels like it. Or when large capacity microSDXC becomes more popular.
Please help!!!!!! what format is this??
Can someone please, please help... I can't figure out what format this is and it is driving me CRAZY!!! Thanks a buncch in advance!

I think if you want to know you at least need to post the hex output rather than text. Get a hex editor and go from there. I think there are bytes that specify FS type but converted to text just comes up as garbage characters.

When I had to root the me7 it HAD to be in exFat
Ubuntu Phone for Nexus One brought to you by Evervolv
Prereq:
Sdcard with sd-ext part. i.e. A second partition formated as ext4 and AT LEAST 1.5GB FREE space
Micro sdcard reader for pc.
Linux pc with sudo access. NO WINDOWS PCs
Will work on any hboot (including stock)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Intro:
Ubuntu is ~1GB so we must install to the sdcard. Instead of ****ing with a2sd
I have just modified the ramdisk to mount mmcblk0p2 (sdcard second partition)
directly to /data. The 'copy-tarball' script will push the ubuntu rootfs to the
proper location which is mounted as /data/ubuntu. The perms on this folder must
be correct or it will not boot, therefore no windows (unless someone gets it
working).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How it works:
Ubuntu did a fantastic job making this easy. Essentially all that is happening
is it boots android sans gui. During the bootup a service called ubuntu_chroot
runs which exports some vars, bind mounts some things, then chroots /data/ubuntu
and starts the ubuntu init process. From there the prebuilt ubuntu takes off.

Building:
The android side is now based on Evervolv v3.2.0 every device we support
can run ubuntu with minor changes.
to get source:

There is no bootanimation, just black screen. It might take up to 5 minutes to boot ubuntu. If you think it is stuck. Check logcat and dmesg
$ adb logcat -C

$ adb shell dmesg
->> check repeating errors e.g.
<6>[ 181.698364] init: ubuntu-session state changed from starting to pre-start
<6>[ 181.698608] init: ubuntu-session state changed from pre-start to spawned
<6>[ 181.715667] init: ubuntu-session main process (724)

---Navigation
Softbuttons (home/menu/back/search) dont work and wont. ubuntu is swipe based and these would only inhibit usage
swipe up from bottom to get to app specific menu
swipe up from bottom to about halfway up screen untill you see the button (see last screenshot) to get to main menu (where you can close apps)

---Caveats
Allways keep it plugged in. There is no power management
Screen stays on all the time, and there is no way to turn off the device
except through adb.

To get back to regular android

Once ubuntu gets it more stable we'll post a custom ubuntu rootfs that can be flashed directly from recovery ( the *phablet*.zip is flashable but can only be used on devices with enough space on /data) For now you can probably modify the updater-script to install to /sd-ext/ubuntu if you dont have linux.
omg this is amazing man...
lovely though of making ubuntu touch for r beloved N1
would be booting to this soon
m in love with ubuntu touch
Re: [N1][DEV] UbuntuPhone {EXP}
Is ubuntu supposed to be less power hungry than JB or is exactly the same? Is it going to run fast on old phones?
I have my old nexus one and would love to revive it but JB is too buggy and power hungry for the n1.
