GNU/Linux users : specific thread for howto, problems etc ...

rzr · 06/30/2009, 05:55 AM

Hi,
Let me open this thread dedicated to GNU/Linux users :

To start, if it helps here is a short tutorial :

http://www.newlc.com/en/palm-webos-sdk-delayed

BTW, any of you can hack qemu ?

regards

Trying to run the Pre VM in qemu on openbsd/amd64 doesn't work -- qemu segfaults. qemu also complains about the video mode not being half VGA, but that can't be helped -- might be why qemu crashes.

Better luck may be had on VirtualBox under Linux, but it might be fun to try getting qemu to work in a different environment.

It nearly works with qemu. qemu -cdrom grub.iso nova-cust-image-sdk47.vmdk -boot d -vga std

With "vga std" you can manually choose the 640x480x32 mode and the Pre GUI will start.

ydaraishy · 06/30/2009, 08:16 PM

It still crashes for me -- maybe it's my qemu version. Which are you running?

ydaraishy · 06/30/2009, 09:27 PM

Also of note: the Mac SDK version seems to have a Java version of the emulator(!)

I can't run it, though, I get a java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load 32-bit SWT libraries on 64-bit JVM exception. Maybe someone on a 32 bit machine could try verifying too.

No the emulator is the same image :

/usr/local/opt/PalmSDK-Mac-0.3.4-8/applications/Palm Emulator.app/Contents/Resources/Images/sdk47/nova-cust-image-sdk47.vmdk

Note: I packaged unpkg for debian to extract the stuff, ask me if needed

Do you have mouse working on qemu ?

ps: I updated the tutorial

The mouse works but the Pre does not like the 640x480 resolution. If you randomly move the mouse and click you'll see some things happening. The -show-cursor option might help.
The same thing happens with virtual box if you choose a 640x480 mode instead of 320x480.

ldrolez · 07/01/2009, 07:22 AM

And to have ssh access:

qemu -cdrom grub.iso nova-cust-image-sdk47.vmdk -boot d -show-cursor -net nic -net user -redir tcp:2222::22

(in fact, -vga std is not needed, just choose the 640x480x16 videomode)

ldrolez · 07/01/2009, 09:14 AM

In fact the pseudo touch panel is managed by hidd, and there is a plugin specific to virtualbox (see /etc/hidd/HidPluginsVbox.xml), that's why it does not work with qemu...

ldrolez · 07/01/2009, 10:07 AM

Another try with qemu:

1- qemu -cdrom grub.iso nova-cust-image-sdk47.vmdk -boot d -show-cursor -net nic -net user -redir tcp:2222::22 -usb -usbdevice wacom-tablet
2- ssh -p 2222 root@localhost
3- vi /etc/event.d/hidd , and replace PLUGINS=/etc/hidd/HidPluginsVbox.xml with PLUGINS=/etc/hidd/HidPluginsQemu.xml
4- shutdown -r now

Now Luna segfaults each time I click !!! :-(

Code:

2009-07-01T13:03:13.686331Z [165] qemux86 kern.info kernel: LunaSysMgr[1264]: segfault at 1c ip 08053322 sp bfb49870 error 4 in LunaSysMgr[8048000+e4000]

ps: I updated the tutorial

The *emulator* appears to be in Java, not the actual software image. Look at Palm Emulator.app/Contents/Resources/Jars.
