Linux kernel is booting....
I'll post what I've got so far when I'm home... From what I've been told, we need to get ADB (Android Debug Bridge) going...
Now to figure out wtf to do ;)

Here's the zImage

and use this in your Default.txt:

set ramsize 0x08000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 1910
set FBDURINGBOOT 0
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f lcd.density=210 msmvkeyb_toggle=off board-htcraphael.treo=1"
boot

How can I make it work?
Should I download something from http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/ and http://www.netripper.com/leo/haret-matbeez.exe ?

I believe it's in acidhax's hands. hehehe. i'll do some research for what you found acid. for now, all I can give is moral support. hehehe. some beer for you! :)

Well, I've never done this before either, but I feel up to the challenge. I'll post what I find as I find it.

How far has everyone else gotten? It starts to boot for me, I see the typical linux boot up (lots of scrolling text) followed by a reboot.

acidhax 12-22-2009 07:52 AM

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 
That`s about it.

vitusdoom 12-22-2009 09:28 AM

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 
same here. boots up. and halts for a bit and then reboots. why does it reboot? not compatible? can't see the small text clearly. :(

acidhax 12-22-2009 11:10 AM

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 
Did I say anything about Android booting? :P

It's just proof of concept atm, we're still only barely scratching the surface of true kernel support. The next few revisions we should start seeing treo pro being supported.

The work is based on the CDMA TP, is there anbody interested in linux development for gsm TP?

acidhax 12-23-2009 09:10 AM

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 
They'll both be included. As of right now they're just trying to start off with CDMA. Both models will be supported.

to get a preview of a booting android it's pretty simple...

1) download the utb android pack from here...
http://www.connect-utb.com/index.php...d=53:android-1

2) extract to the root of your memory card and rename zImage-RAPH800-2009-10-14 to zImage (delete the other zImage)

3) run haret.exe from file explorer..around 300 seconds later it will boot into the user interface of android (during boot there are alot of error messages that are a result from the hardware keyboard not being initialized correctly).

can't do very much b/c the resolution if too large. if you can go to the wave or irc channel and ask phusson to help test it out. he's willing to help but i've been to busy to work on it more.

vitusdoom 12-26-2009 10:51 PM

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 
it's a raphael-diamond port. did you do a run on a treo pro? did it boot? well, it it did work, this is a great step. next step is to debug the errors :)

acidhax 12-27-2009 01:10 AM

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 
Next step is beyond android 1.6 :P

jimmydu3 12-27-2009 01:30 AM

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 
right..this port works as described with the treo pro using the raphael mtype 1910. around mid november phusson made a change in the the memory allotment to allow more of the available ram for the diamond and raphael to use it and caused the more recent builds to not boot. at it's base the chipset of the treo pro is very similar to the other ports in the project. a mtype has been added for the treo pro, but I haven't gotten any of the recent builds to boot fully yet.

acidhax 12-27-2009 09:03 AM

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 
phh is still working on it, hes having probs with making the mtype.

The linux system people are using has been updated to 2.0.1, but there hasn't been anything for the treo, afaik.

Read this forum for more deets:

OIC. so thats why. can't the devs use the new updates to be used in the treo pro port? hehhee

Now couldn't the Treo Pro run android atop wm6.5 like this vid shows for the touch pro?

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 
Is anyone else having issues loading the kernel posted earlier in this thread? I'm not getting any output like others are reporting, pretty sure I am following the instructions to the T:

- I have a CDMA Sprint Treo Pro with the CFay 6.5 1.54 ROM (Build 21234)
- I am using the Haret version mentioned in this thread (pre-0.5.3-200911...)
- I am using the default.txt provided by acidhax in this thread
- I am using the kernel image provided by acidhax in this thread
- I tried running this with the UTB Android pack (1.6) mentioned here and also tried kernel-only without it (commenting out 'set initrd initrd.gz' in default.txt)
- I tried enabling Haret logging by adding a 0 byte file named 'earlyharetlog.txt' and setting the following parameters in default.txt:

set fbduringboot 1
set forcefbduringboot 1

Everything was placed in the root of the SD card. My device simply shows the "HaRET: Booting Linux ..." screen with the progress bar reaching 100% then freezing. At this point I have to soft reset my device then upon reboot there is not haret.log output.

Can anyone please explain this to me? What the hell am I doing wrong here? I need to see this for myself. I was able to get the latest linux-msm development branch (htc-msm-2.6.27) from phusson to compile on my linux VM. I have also been communicating with him as well. I don't believe he knew that there was a CDMA version of this device in addition to GSM. Anyway you can see here where he added support for the new mtype shortly before his first post on xdad that I saw that got me going on this subject.

If someone can help me get up and running with the kernel and android I believe I can help speed the development process here.

--Thanks

OK - got this older diamond kernel to boot with early framebuffer output with the following default.txt:

set ramsize 0x08000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 1805
set FBDURINGBOOT 0
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f lcd.density=210 msmvkeyb_toggle=off"
boot

I am working on making the necessary changes to properly initialize the LCD panel, SD card, radio and framebuffer among other things for this device. Been working with the guys over on #htc-linux IRC channel, they are great. With their help I was able to pull the Haret console up and get some mmu dumps. They helped me analyze them, etc... They are saying memory management is not the issue here. Also they are saying mtype 1910 should have never worked nor 2426 (fb never init, sd etc...). Maybe it works on the GSM version - I have CDMA so no idea.

Anyway - with any luck hopefully I will get the latest source running on this pig.

dump mmu 1 output
dump mmu 2 output

Ok so, i used the raphael kernel..
it loaded and showed the main menu on android
but the screen is disoriented..
ill post a video of what I mean.

EDIT: hold on.. its taking FOREVER to upload.. stupid youtube!

Ok so, I got the main screen to move flo, but again i cant see everything.
about the video thing.. hold on. things are being stupid
