    Boot From Sd

    I'm happy to see from the databook that the caanoo can power up on alarm - which it handy for PIM functions, but I can seem to find any information about how the boot process works from a caanoo perspective. I assume its using uboot? Is it possible to boot (optionally) from SD ? Has anyone...

    Pandora Not Enumerating Usb2.0 Device

    I just got hold of a teensy usb micro controller board (amtel mega32u4) this is a full speed device not just hi speed so it is *defiantly* a USB2.0 device and the data sheet claims FULL usb2.0 compliance... However when I plug this device in I get the dreaded "unable to enumerate device" in...

    Media Keys And Alarm Buzzer Idea

    I have my right shoulder configured as a XF86AudioNext key for when I'm on the go with cmus in "low power" mode, however this is slightly sub-optimal as its all too easy to jog the shoulder button when on the go... As the pandora *can* be woken up from its OFF state by its alarm, and as the...

    Replacing Networkmanager

    wicd isn't 100% perfect - you'll have to give it a prod after enabling the wifi driver afaics but it still beats NetworkManager Its slimmer not reliant on a bunch of gnome stuff... it has a curses or cli gui as well as as a gtk gui! It's a *lot* more configurable - yes you can do fixed address...

    Squash V4.0 For Pandora Kernel

    I compiled my own kernel (finally figured out OE environment breaks kernel cross compile!) when I noticed that there is no squashfs support in the git version of the kernel - this is needed for pnd support. Although I have wake on alarm working I'd like to also work on fixing the pressure...

    Pandora Pandora Pim Alarm Deamon Rtc

    I can now cause a switched off Pandora to wake up on a specified time (wake on alarm) YaY! woot! etc etc I had to make some trivial changes to the kernel for it to work - I've done this in a naive way and it will need some thought as to the best way to deal with it - but that can sit on the...

    Horrid Sound And Fix

    I noticed that recently my sound while using headphones had a terrible echo like some really cheap nasty reverb gone wrong, it was especially noticeable in tracks with a single solo vocalist - say Annie Lennox or Duffy, it made the lyrics almost illegible. I've fixed it but I'm not exactly sure...

    Hard Drive Image With Amiga Emu

    Back in the day I used to code demo's in 68k asm language both the cpu and the hardware were a dream to work with I wouldn't mind doing this again, but you really do need to be booting off a hard drive for this. Anyone know if any of the amiga emu's on the Pandora can do this - and how you'd...

    Pandora Single Line Scripts In System Pnd's

    Given that there are a limited number of loop device and more importantly other resources like memory are in use when a pnd is mounted and run, I was surprised to see a number of system pnd's containing a single line calling scripts in /usr/pandora/scripts The .desktop file contains a command...

    A Script To Shutdown After Charging

    My main motivation for this is probably what drives most of my hacking - it didn't work like I wanted it to.... so I fixed it! There is a full article and scripts! on http://chrisc.bedroomcoders.co.uk/?p=77 You should probably only attempt it if you have at least had some passing exposure to...

    Hacking Pressure Support Into Xf86-Input-Tslib

    While I haven't quite got to grips with the best way to report a 3rd axis to xorg (seriously wheres the api docs for xf86PostMotionEvent and friends - this is really holding me up!) I'll soon have it cracked, hopefully! I believe now that most of the input problems are NOT with tslib but...

    Large Nub Dead Zone

    I have reset and recalibrated my nubs but every time I try them out there seems to be a large dead zone I wrote an app to display the values and the dead zone seems to be roughly -180 to 180 making it almost digital in behavior - in mouse mode it is very difficult to move a small distance...

    Fbpanel

    As those of you have tried lxde will know the menu doesn't do sub categories for menus like games This leaves some games in the other menu and a large (on my Pandora!) Games menu - not a disaster and a small price to pay for the increase in performance However I was looking at other menu's...

    Revisiting Lxde

    When making a new SD boot disk I decided to revisit my lxde guide and see what had changed (if anything) with the angstrom lxde packages First off I didn't bother with lxde-session at all rather just used the auto installed lxdesession-lite using the lxde filemanager I can unmount devices...
