Hi there,
I'm trying to get linux working with XDA2...
At the moment, I use HARET to boot the kernel, but I encounter some problems.
1. USB Serial Connection is breaking when booting the new kernel. I wouldn't have assumed anything different. But the Xda-Developers tutiorials shows how to connect via that virtual port.
2. I can use the real serial port to redirect Kernel Output until it says: "Login:"
I'm using minicom to get the output. But I can't enter the username. I'm sure that I use correct port settings, is there anything special with the connection to the XDA2? Should I use another Application to login? What's wrong with my serial input line?
Can somebody tell me how to use the Serial port via other Terminals? (Linux shell commands are highly appreciated.)
Thanks in advance for some hints!
Edit:
I also tried to compile custom kernel, but after haret switches to the dark screen (after showing the linux logo with splashed eyes ), it isn't redirecting any output to PC.
hi. you should first tell which software versions you are using.
Himalaya kernel is not maintained for a long time, but it's
not very difficult to update it.
Versions I use:
HaRET-0.3.6.exe (http://anymore.nl/ipaq/haret-0.3.6.exe)
zImage-2.6.12 (http://himalaya.lange.nom.fr/zImage-2.6.12)
initrd-2.6.12.gz (initrd-2.6.12.gz)
Hardware:
Processor: Intel PXA263
Model Nr. PH10A
Flash Chip type: 28F128k3
I have 3G usb dongles:
Huawei E1550
ZTE MF100
And this two dongles writes in dmesg:
Code:

usb_modeswitch works ok.
It`s fail for Archos 70 IT (8Gb) device?
As it is stated everyewhere, the A70 only outputs 100mA and that doesn't seem enough for those sticks.
So get yourself a usb Powersupply and try again.
Moved to general as not android development
For what it's worth I have got the USB dongle to work with my Archos 101.
I guess this would be one of the reasons to choose a 101 over a 70
Hi i realise this is an old topic but i dont wish to start a new thread if theres already one here.
Im using a 16gb PNY flash drive in my archos 101, latest firmware and it isnt recognising it? iv formatted it every which way and it just wont do.. am i missing something i should have checked? you say you managed to get it working?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks alot.
Sibere just released a Kernel that provides 200mA
Try it
Hey lennb, thanks for the reply. Got another question, im already running SDE and the solution in Ardatdat's thread with a mix of kernals and intframfs.. How would i flash this kernal over that? or instead of it? Im a bit new to the android dev/hack world and i dont wanna brick it hehe.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Just do it like you flashed artadats kernel
Boot>>Volume - Button>>Recovery System>>Developer Edition Menu>>Flash Kernel and initramfs
Then just connect your Archos to your pc and copy the two files. Then press ok on archos.
Thanks again Lenbb, iv done a search in the forum trying to find the kernel and the only upload iv found so far to do with the usb hack had to be used in junction with sauron(sp?) kernel, is there a all in one tutorial im missing for this gen8 kernel or is it a case of searching through the posts and compiling it all?
Also, this may sound stupid: Does the flash drive have to be formatted to ext3 to be recogised by the Archos? Iv just thought about any other ways i could try and make this work and found a post on the Archos site saying the android uses ext3... if thats the case i might just slap myself for the over sight!
Any help greatfully appreciated!
Thanks!
Okey, sorry but i dont understand your first question...
Nope it doht have to be ext3, it also can be fat32 and if you have urukdroid you can also host ntfs devices!
haha sorry, im trying not to sound to needy! In basic i was just seeing if theres a all in one thread for the walkthrough of flashing with this usb hack? and cheers for clearing the ext3 question for me!

What do you mean? Flashing a Kernel is always the same way

Edit:
Thank you for giving me the 2. Part of my thanks bar
Aha no worries! you deserve it. Im using the urukdroid 1.0 install method at the moment because i remember in the post i found the usb hack in that it could be use alongside it. Do i have to completely reformat my archos before i flash again?
Im also a bit confused about how to install the new firmware to the sd card? so that i can actually root this thing.

Nope, you dont have to do this
But you could joyn sibere (the developer of that kernel) and me at Urukdroid Developement Thread with discuss about this At the moment we want to set the limit up to 500 mA to support HDDs
I will do just that. Im not sure its the right thread but it wouldnt let me post because of my low post count =/. Just one last confusion and i will leave you to your excellent work! haha. Iv got urukdroid 1.0 up and running... but then i realised that sibere's download contained another Zimage and infram. Do i just flash those over the top of urukdroid already installed, or do i completely uninstall my developer edition, then mix sibere's zimage and infram with the urukdroids installer and start again?
Sorry if im not being clear!
Many thanks!

Yep, its the Urukdroid 1.1b3 Kernel Just with the Usb modifactions
And you just need 10 Posts to post at the Developer Section
Haha, ill have to hurry and get them then! I installed urukdroid to a 2gb sd yesterday, and was happy with the results apart from a few force closes of some apps and unability to use the market? im not if thats something i did wrong or if its a bug on my archos... I guess ill have to learn more about these divices before i start jumping in and modding them. I flashed the usb kernel imagge and infram over the top of urukdroid's but it didnt give me usb access... im thinking about just buying an adapter untill a simple (for me hehe) guide comes out.
Cheers again =]
Ho well I can post my kernel here too
Is it possible to Flash this usb hack if you are not running uruk?
Currently i am running Chulri root and Harfainx's system memory hack?
HI,
I am trying to interface the UVC Camera to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1(GT-7510) , but I am not able to see the device node getting created in the shell( I have installed the Linux terminal Shell Application) and rooted the device using this Video .Can somebody plz tell/advice how I can achieve it and access the device Node or at-least get it created.
Following is the log on dmesg :
usb 1-1 new high speed USB device using tegra-ehci and address 97
hub 1-0:1.0 unable to enumerate USB device on port 1 ,
usb 1-1:device v0ac8 p3420 is not supported
On My Laptop I get this output on Dmesg :
[12307.364237] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device Venus USB2.0 Camera (0ac8:3420)
[12307.366108] input: Venus USB2.0 Camera as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.0/input/input14
[12308.537059] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio
also i can see the camera getting blinked on connection which proves that it is getting the power-supply and getting connected with the system.
I think there is a support for UVC USB devices in the kernel (not sure) otherwise I am ready with the Kernel For Samsung Tab 10.1 (GT-7500 (Higher Version: GT-7510)) from here .(GT-P7500_MEA_Opensource.zip (requires Login).
Plz assist.

You seem to know a bit about what you're doing. I'm not really familiar with this device. I did a search and did not find anyone who has don't this yet. The first priority is to get a Linux device in /dev/ folder. This is generally handled by a device driver and a udev rule. Try the newer kernel if you can. The android 4.0 ics has a Linux 3.x kernel. See if switching to ics helps. Try compiling a custom kernel with all modules. Once you have a device, try using SSH or sftp from your desktop under Linux to stream from that device with vlc or another media player.
Do you have any examples of this device in use on mobile Linux? It may require writing an entire kernel driver.
HI,
Yes that is the same line of thinking for us as well.We are trying to compile the kernel and load it .- Ongoing
I believe only the zImage is the one which is to be flashed.But I am little scared to do this.Couldn't find the instructions to loading the Zimage even though I can compile one.

Flash it with Heimdall, even if it won't work you will be still able to get into download mode of bootloader (which you aren't supposed to flash) and reflash the kernel with stock one.
Hi.
I have Coolech 1FA-09D based board with Hisilicon Hi3716C chip on it. It's android based media player. Full system flash was performed on the device, but firmware flashed was wrong, so device is now useless.
It stops at boot screen (not android, but bootloader). On device I have 2 available usb ports, but I asume those are host ports, not to be connected to PC. On PCB I have 4 pin connector, but don't know what kind of connector that is. At the moment I have no documentation for the box.
Company that I got box from will provide me original firmware, but how I'm going to flash it? Any ideas? Fastboot as far as I know works only with usb connected devices. ADB can't connect to device trough lan cause no adb server is running on the other side (box get's its own IP address and does some other initialisation which includes usb ports and then freezes).
The 4 pin connector is a serial console, but be carefull, its 3,3V logic and not RS232! So you need a level converter or usb ttl converter cable like for a old cellphone or something. Then within uboot you could load the firmware from tftp or upload it with xmodem.
Could you please send me the firmware? I would be very interested in it . (Or just upload it somewhere like filesonic)
Thanks.

Thanx for your answer.
About the firmware, sorry, I can not send it to you and there are two reasons for that:
I don't have the firmware yet. When I get it, I'm not allowed to distribute it. You can find kernel source code of similar device (A.C.Ryan android based box) on their web page. Their device is also based on Hi3716c.
Hi,
Yes, I am using a acryan box clone and wanted to check out the features of the Coolech firmware on my box. That was the reason I asked about it. But okay, if you can't share it, its fine.
Hi,
I have just picked up a Note 3 on Three UK.
Am I right in assuming that the wireless chipset BCM4339 which is the same as on the Nexus 5 is still not able to use bcmon mode to allow us to enable monitor mode?
Would a specific ROM be necessary to allow a TP-Link WN722n (RT2800usb) to work on OTG cable?
I have tried both bcmon on my note 3 and also my TP-Link via USB OTG cable and neither have had any results.
Thanks
Toby
I've installed USB Host Check to confirm that USB host support is enabled on my note 3.
(android.hardware.usb.host.xml OK)
(handheld_core_hardware.xml OK)
I then installed USB Host Controller.
Both devices recognised but obviously not working. (Atheros USB 2.0 WLAN for TP-WN772n) and (ASIX Elec Corp AX88x72A) for USB ethernet.
When I run USB Host Controller I get the following error message:
"s3c usb host driver not found".
Another member on XDA posted a link to the Halaszk Kernel on the N9000 apparantly having OTG USB host support for S3C

I'm still hitting a brick wall on this one search wise.
Would stil love to be able to use my WN722N on my Note 3.
Has anyone any experience in modifying the Kernel Module to allow the ath9k to work on Note 3?
Getting a wireless adapter to work on Ubuntu or any form of Linux can be difficult if the manufacturer doesn't provide direct driver support or at the very least a "Tar" which would allow an end user (with sufficient skill) to compile the drivers them self. My understanding of this is limited but from what I can remember Android is JavaScript VM running on a Linux kernel. So you need the Linux source code for the driver which usually comes in a "Tar". Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
