This weekend's drive hacking

Submitted by Alex on 5 March, 2006 - 03:23. Palm LD

Well, I figured out how to mount the FAT32 data partition. It doesn't seem always work correctly though, I'm wondering whether it's got something to do with the IDE drivers which are still reporting 'lost interrupt' every now and then when transferring large (around >3mb) files. It seems to get there in the end though. I'll have a play around but there's nothing obvious I can think of to fix it. Might just have to settle for adjusting the IDE code so it retries quicker.

Touchscreen driver is working again now so I'll try and put together a garux and rootfs image for everyone to play with. Don't expect too much though, it looks like it could be slower then SD card until we can sort these interrupt problems out.

I tried garux and everything

I tried garux and everything ran fine. I couldn't get GUI going, but forget about that. I think we need a ^C (Ctrl+C) button. I ran tail to see if it was included and I got stuck inside of tail asking for standard input. Now that there is a cmd.c prgm, maybe we should change the buttons from the letters to ^C,^X, and other special function keys used in most GNU utils.

I'm thinking of working on a Graffiti type thing for palm in about a week. I think I understand how Graffiti tells the difference between letters

On-screen keyboard for framebuffer would be better
