Has someone succeed booting angstrom with opie 1.2.4 on the h22xx using an internal flash memory?

[joaosombranewhouse]

I'll try it one day, but I'm looking the Google's Android port evolution (I've seen one for HTC devices)

[meduzapat]

I read today that a guy has success but with no touchscreen and keys.

So the basic idea is to boot off a cf card as if the card were live cd?

I just got an ipaq h2200. I know nothing about PDAs, but I'm sure as hell not going to get Windows for my PC just so I can synch my PDA. Thanks for the vid!

I have Angstrom running on a Ipaq h3900 (don`t know if it will work on h2200) and to conect to ubuntu 7.10 you have to set the correct ip adresses on both machines. On the ipaq use, as root, /sbin/ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.10 (or another ip you like) and make sure that module g_ether is loaded (as root: /sbin/modprobe g_ether). On the Ubuntu: sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.20 (or another ip, but the first numbers must be the same). Again, I don't know if Ethernet USB is working ok on the h2200

Hi, thanks for reply. I´ve search on web and forums and that´s it that you´ve posted. I´ve tried a loopback image, and I´ve connected to device by ssh...so I could perform a system upgrade using a proxy program on my pc (I´ve tried on WinXP). On Ubuntu, the g_ether module works, I could see it on ifconfig command, but I don´t know how to share the internet connection on linux...but I haven´t tried the squid yet.

[joaosombranewhouse]

The biggest headache that I have is with bluetooth. On loopback GPE image, it works, but I don´t know what I´m doing wrong that when I try to dial to my gprs account, nothing happens(by pon/poff cmd). I´ve tried the opie (beautiful, userful, but very instable) loopback image, and the bluetooth didn´t worked very well also.

[joaosombranewhouse]

Now, I have all the rootfs installed on a second partition on my CF Card with Angstrom. Now it´s gpe, because opie its very instable, but for dially use I have to make a connection by my cell phone (nokia e50) and test a IM program (I´ve heard about gaim, but I don´t now if it really works).

Thanks for all

[sirspinner]

well, i dont have bluetooth on my 3950, so i still didn't worked on bluetooth connection.

About the IM program, i don't know if there is a Gaim package for angstrom, so maybe you will have to build it. Now I'm having trouble with space on the device to install a web browser.... as soon as it works i'll try first to use meebo on the browser and see what happens, than search for a IM build for angstrom.... or build it myself.

oh... sorry, on the iptables comand it's not -j SNAG, it's -j SNAT

[sirspinner]

Yesterday, after answering you, I managed to conect my ipaq to the internet, sharing the conection with a slackware laptop.

On the laptop I did, as root:

$ifconfig usb0 192.168.129.200 netmask 255.255.255.255 up

$route add -host 192.168.129.201 usb0

$iptables -t nat -F

$iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j SNAG -o eth1 --to 192.168.129.200

on ipaq, again as root:

$/sbin/ifconfig usb0 192.168.129.201

$route add -host 192.16.129.200 usb0

$route add default gw 192.168.129.200

[sirspinner]

than edit the file /etc/resolv.conf and insert:

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

were xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is a DNS ip

here I use 200.204.0.10,  that is the Telefonica DNS

Hi, Are you brazilian too? eheh

I´ll try your setting later, thanks for reply, now I´ve reinstalled all my system again, and g_ether works, I could connect by ssh and download packages by ipkg (but Angstrom don´t have too much packages)...only on M$ yet, but I´ll try to set up my linux.

I have installed AbiWord (really wonderful), Contacts, Calendar, Photo Gallery ,Calculator, Webbrowser...but at this one, I´ve not tried to use it yet, because I really want to connect by a GPRS account

[joaosombranewhouse]

For IM program, I´ve took a look at AMSN, because i´ve seen at feeds that has Tclk libraries, and AMSN is built on this one. I´ll try later with a older version and look how thing will go!

Have you tried to connect to a GSM cell phone with IrDA? I´ll try this one also

Thanks for reply

[sirspinner]

this is not opie, it`s gpe...

[joaosombranewhouse]

Sorry for the mistake...I was very impressive to run linux on my pda the first time! ;)
