SDRW - SDIO - MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories

Just read some good news about SDIO. According to www.cewindows.net there is a rom upgrade for Ipaqs that make them SDIO compatible. http://www.cewindows.net/faqs/sdioupdates.htm Hopefully it is just a matter of time before a patch for the XDA is released as well. I also read that in windows ce.net there will be support for SDIO, so let's just hope it is possible to upgrade the XDA to .net.

Before everyone gets their hopes up: the SD port on the XDA appears hooked up to a custom HTC-built ASIC. Not saying upgrade is impossible, but if there is a future upgrade, it is likely to be very different from the iPaq upgrade.

Since HTC makes the iPAQ, is it not the same ASIC?

From what I read, it seems that the upgrade has little to do with the hardware providing the SD port as long as it supports the same basic api. Also, as HTC is making the Ipaq, it seems probable that the SD-chipset is not all that different between the two.

As far as I have read it the current change to allow SDIO is related to two things. First it seems mandatory to have a IRQ line connected to a GPIO line. If this hardware connection is not there someone suggested polling, but I doubt that is workable.
The second thing I've noticed so far all concrete examples were for the Xscale. There were also some indications this was a nessecary prerequisite.
So I'd say the chances for XDA are very slim.

future options

Hi guys! Thanks for your valued labours! I know these are boring questions to you, but.......
Are there any chinks of light in the 'Bluetooth tunnel'?
Is there any possibility that in the future the sd port could be modified to sd/io?
Could an sd/io slot from another PDA be modified to fit in place of the sd or are there other reasons why this won't work?
And finally, will the upgrades mentioned on xda-developers.com work over here (GB)? And will they really allow me to connect wifi to my laptop, thus allowing me to use my XDA as a modem?
Sorry I'm so technically challenged.

No. Well, there's really small serial bluetooth adapters now, and someone just might stick one on the serial port. But then you'd still need drivers...

No clue, and the only ones to know are HTC, who haven't been articularly communicative about this device. SDIO slots are not a part you can just transplant. These are functions of chips or chipsets on the motherboard.
And finally, will the upgrades mentioned on xda-developers.com work over here (GB)? And will they really allow me to connect wifi to my laptop, thus allowing me to use my XDA as a modem?

The upgrade allows you to use the XDA as a modem through a serial cable or using IRDA (Infrared). It will not allow you to do anything using WaveLAN. The term 'Wireless Modem' refers to the fact that GPRS and GSM are wireless, I guess...
Replies to my queries
Thanks for replying to my queries, it is very frustrating that such an aesthetically pleasing & ground-breaking piece of kit like the XDA should have so many hurdles which prevent it being used to it's full advantage.
Such is life! Keep up the improvements! Thanks again! 8)
Remember it was designed 4 years ago, before Bluetooth and SDIO. Even SD had to stretch to get into it!
samsung i700
Samung i700 is the solution for those trying to use
bluetooth on xda. The other one is to wait for the
new xda with pocket pc 2003 maybe early next year.

Does anyone know anything about the i700, what it costs, when it's available (the Netherlands) etc. etc.

Linux on Trinity

Who are interested to see Linux also on this device?
The process should be very similar to Hermes implementation, so we can follow their steps.

How is the state of art in porting linux on this device?
And on Hermes? Does the kernel boot?
With wm6 do you have to hard reset every time you try to boot the kernel?
Maybe Pof can answer these questions.
Thanks
@renatostore: cr2 and Kevin2 are the guys working on it, come into #htc-linux at freenode irc network.
On hermes the kernel boots, and we can load a minimal initrd using haret. On trinity i haven't checked lastly.
You don't need to hard reset afer booting linux, that was only on WM2003
Hi
How about linux on trinity? i've been on the irc channel but didn't get any answer... a few months passed... i'm in hope!
I don't have high hope on that. Heard it's very difficult to debug stuff in Linux due to the lack of a hardware kb....
why do you want linux on this phone? you are not going to be able to cross-compile apps over and I don't see a useful app in linux that wm6 doesn't have already for a phone.
Hi...
Still interested...
Had someexperience with h36xx and h38xx/h39xx series HP/Compaq PDA's and familiar linux, and it would be very cool to have some of this running on the HTC hardware too...
Anyone already had a ROM cooked up with kernel/basic apps?
Any idea what will/does work and what won't/doesn't? like phone, camera, wifi, gprs, bluetooth, ...
Thanks!

Check the hermes wiki.
trinity is the hermes without keyboard, minor differences are unimportant
The future of Linux on PDAs is Andromeda. Don't expect this to be implemented on existing devices - Andromeda will be a means to deliver new devices to the market.
While you will most likely need a new phone for Andromeda, you will gain a complete platform with stylish and working applications, so you will be able to actually use the device right from the start.
Have fun!

Good news for Kaiser users: CorePlayer 1.2 will entirely fix the video problems!

See http://www.corecodec.com/forums/index.php?topic=596.0
sounds coool, I wonder how they want to fix the misssing driver support...
If you read the explanation posted on that forum -
The issue was that they used something called QTV for overlay (undocumented qualcomm driver).

I'm assuming "they" is HTC, which suggests that the driver support isn't missing, it's just not working very well, and Coreplayer have switched to something else.

None of these are solved yet. I don't see any reason for un-sticky-ing that thread.
Bottom line: No, I don't think that petition will solve anything. But I still like people to know about Kaiser's problems.

Really, you call this good news? This is horrible news. And it isn't even correct either.
They haven't solved anything, they're just used a propriety technology driver to do something that by all means SHOULD WORK with the already existing and used-in-every-normal-program DirectDraw and GDI.
This gives HTC even LESS incentive to fix our problems, since there is now (a particularly bad) workaround.
So now we have to use a custom player we have to pay for to do something our device should have done already out-of-the-box, and it still doesn't solve our GDI, DD, D3D or GLES issues.
You call this good news, I call this a farce.
(And actually, the correct GDI/DD should be able to decide when to actually use QTV and do this internally, just like the KS20 D3Dm driver uses GLES internally)

If any sticky gets removed it should be the "The thread to address ALL TILT-specific questions". What a mess that turned into. It is completely useless. In addition to the length and disjointed topics, many of the questions aren't even Tilt specific. The first several posts should be moved to the wiki, glean what you can from the rest and let that abomination fade into a long overdue digital oblivian! ...nuf said
Back on topic, I think this is good news but the petitioned issue still stands. Core Player will help for encoded video only, and has not yet been released. Until I see it, I am sceptical. Plus it requires an additional purchase for something that should be free. Still, being able to transcode my video library once and be able to play on multiple devices with respectible quality will make it well worth the price.
So I will probably wind up using it if/when it does come out and if it does indeed work, but I still think the petition thread serves a good purpose, if only to make potential purchasers aware of the situation, and also what to expect form HTC support (which is basiaclly nothing).

I liked this part most of all.
Before we continue on that point, there's something else you should know. There is also a leaked Diamond ROM. We have pulled this ROM apart and guess what: it has graphics drivers! They follow the same structure as the KS20 drivers too, with the "ahi2dati" driver at the core of the hardware accelerated graphics, talking to the hardware. It seems to be a bit more compatible with the current Kaiser ROMs, but note we have not compared the internal calls (yet!) to the new leaked NLD and WWE ROMs. Also note that because of this construct, it does not seem to be possible do drop in the libgles_cm hardware 3D driver.

hmm not so good
pretty misleading subject line then... maybe should have been something like "Drivers are here!! (On the Diamond)" or something like that, because the way its looking, we are still going to be without drivers from HTC...thanks alot.
Why create such a thread title if not only is it not true, but you have no idea on what you're talking about? Seriously, stop spreading stupid rumors and making stuff up
Well it does say that they think they have the leaked FIX (not driver) over at modaco.com..
I just don't think people realize that a driver and a fix are two different things. On the bright side, it does seem that the driver we do have might be upgraded to something a bit better. Maybe not 100% but still better then what we do have.
(and dont' way we don't have a driver at all, you do have video on your phone)

Indeed the title of this topic is a bit misleading, BUT there is some good news at HTCClassAction:
If this is true, it would definitely open doors to bringing full hardware acceleration to the TyTN II, and possibly other MSM7x00 based devices. We have a TyTN II ROM that somehow touches the accelerated video hardware (NLD, probably WWE), we have fully accelerated drivers from HTC (Diamond), and we already have some prior experience due to the KS20 drivers. Throw them all together and it suddenly becomes a lot more likely the community will be able to bring full graphics drivers to the affected devices. Interesting times! Stay tuned, the effort has already begun!

I've had a stinking feeling that reviewers were reviewing preproduction devices that had drivers. That is what the Sedna review from the Spanish site Todo Smartphone.com leads me to believe anyway. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381254
Perhaps it's not their fault. I would like to see them always do ROM dumps and benchmarks.

Maybe, but the threat of being cut off from future preproduction review units could have something to do with the silence of some of the review sites.
Not to accuse anybody of anything in this case, but I worked in IT publishing for a long time and saw a lot of dirty tricks played by the tech companies.

[PRJ][OS]Linux and Android on SE Xperia X1

This thread is here for information and discussion about the Linux kernel (and Linux based userspaces like Ångström distribution or google android.
If you have no clue what this is all about, click the above links and read a bit about it.
The xperia(kovsky) research information vital to porting the linux kernel is available at htc-linux.org
The kovsky is very similar to raphael, diamond and the other htc phones that are based on the QCT msm7xxxA chip. This is why the raphael/diamond development kernel code from the htc-linux project runs well on it.
Kovsky has its own machine type in the htc-msm-2.6.27 (see link above) branch now.
im kinda excited about this! if linux (& android) is able to run on the X1 smoothly, I'm definitely donating!
New thread = very good news.
If you need someone for testing then let me know.
I would be willing to donate as well.
Keep working hard everyone!
somehow i feel like setting up an X1 android version for it. since im more the "script" guy im rather useless for u if it comes to kernel development ^^
how stable and functional is the kernel so far?
and especialy, is the Wifi running allready?
hey decordes,
there is the question where to get the [email protected] files 0.8 and 1.0... (i have them. but dont know if i may provide these files while they are not from my self!)

usbnet is same driver as used for raphael.

For jtag, I think you need to wire it to the board manually.
For the raphael you can get a serial connection by making a cable that plugs in the usb port. Ask dreamkill about it. I don't know if it is wired the same way in xperia.

Have to quote myself
The patch applies fine but after having a short glimpse, this one has been extracted from the SDK. No proper Kconfigs or Makefiles
So i don't think this huge patch is intended to go into kernel tree again.
AFAIK, there's also a lot of stuff for userland inside.
Insider may know more about it!
Perhaps for WIFI on the X1 it's better to start with a more clean driver.
You make have a look here:
http://osdir.com/ml/linux-wireless/2009-02/msg00390.html
I will try to integrate the patch to current 2.6.27-msm.
There's work to do of course, e.g. SDIO support and PM.

though i understand just a little, id like to qoute myself on this
So what has to be done is get the linux drivers for al these hardware components and compile them to a kernel to make it fully working?
that probably ist going to be easy

yes with htcraphael_defconfig xperia boots.
I will ask some people about 7xxxA jtag pins and let you know if I have any information.

The patch applies fine but after having a short glimpse, this one has been extracted from the SDK. No proper Kconfigs or Makefiles
So i don't think this huge patch is intended to go into kernel tree again.
AFAIK, there's also a lot of stuff for userland inside.
Insider may know more about it!

Right, It copies some revision (see date of file upload) of the android git ti1251. It should enable you to build the kernel module.

Perhaps for WIFI on the X1 it's better to start with a more clean driver.
You make have a look here:

It's no big secret the 10M google ti1251 driver is crap and it might really be better to use that wl12xx as soon as they have the SDIO.

I will try to integrate the patch to current 2.6.27-msm.
There's work to do of course, e.g. SDIO support and PM.
