    Feedback On Thumbstick Design

    Nice. To get dimensions in view, draw part. Click on layout tab. Add a viewport. Dimension and plot while the layout tab is selected. Alternate: Dimension directly on drawing. use dimedit to make sure color for dimensions is not the same as background ( in your case white) Look for tutorials...

    New Fireware Instalation Method?

    BradN: If you are serious about updating U-Boot, they have an enormous download available of their DevKit in Binary and source, approximately 370 MB. Would need to know some info from GPH as to how theres differs from MagicEyes though. As far as I can tell, that source was never released (...

    New Fireware Instalation Method?

    It's just syntax, on your router /dev/mtd will most likely be a real directory, not a symbolic link. On the GP2X if you do /dev/ # ls -a m* you should see mtd: 0 1 2 3 4 5 0ro 1ro 2ro 3ro 4ro 5ro They're symbolic links to symbolic links, and are represented by mtd0 instead of mtd/0

    Changing The Boot Screen?

    @Quiest: I did some research at U-Boot, came up with this: First bootscreen (Dark Gray) is compiled into U-Boot MTD image. Second splashscreen (Green) is in both U-Boot image and Linux image. U-Boot starts a framebuffer, dumps first screen to it. It then checks for Firmware upgrades through...

    Gp2x Bootup Times...

    WTF OS or not, here's the answer to why the system takes so long to boot. The file system GPH decided to use for the GP2X is JFFS2. JFFS2 has some major advantages, one of which is it allows for compression of decompressed MTD images in memory. The major disadvantages are: 1) longest boot time...

    New Fireware Instalation Method?

    ED: the mtd blocks are symbolic links to symbolic links, should read /dev/mtd2 not /dev/mtd/2 - not sure where your command aimed the write to . . . :( It needs to specify an input file 'if' and an ouput file 'of' with block size 'bs' (has default of 16 k) and conversion specifier ( as BradN...

    New Fireware Instalation Method?

    Because we're working with an embedded system, it will look different than a standard linux installation. System uses U-Boot, which uses MTD compressed images, expandable as required. mtd0 = U-Boot (highly modified from standard U-Boot installation) mtd1 = Param ??? mtd2= Kernel (what we want to...

    How To: Get Windows Xp To Recognise Your Gp2x

    Your guide does not take into account the fact that the device does show up in Disk Management at all. If it doesn't appear there, you can't format it . . . :( If it appears there, you already have access to it . . . :(

    Firmware Upgrade Compatible Cards And Faq

    Okay, I think it's time we got some actual data on what the problem is. I have two Integral 1GB cards from GBAX.com, as well as a Kingston 1GB card for my camera. I have purchased a Sandisk 512 as well. I have borrowed friends and family members cards as well(three of which are on the working...

    Changing The Boot Screen?

    Hi, I think that those images will be embedded in UBoot source, however all I can find are the sources for the dev kit version. Do you recall a link to GPH's source? I'm drawing a blank with the search engine. :)

    Read This Before Asking Questions In "i Need Help"

    /dev/sda may be the whole sd card on YOUR system, however some distros call any SATA drive /dev/sda, so it will depend on the individual hardware on the users machine as to what the card is referenced as under /dev Just a heads up . . . :)
