All, Ken McGuire <"cynfab"> has indicated he's interested in removing the components from a Zipit circuit board in order to map out its circuits. With...
... Yup, check the "peeks & pokes" document under Files. The Green LED you can turn on and off yourself (simple output port) The Orange (/yellow/amber) LED you...
I've got the MTD block driver working properly now (it was a very simple fix), so a safe user-writeable filesystem probably isn't too far away. I propose...
Adam, This is good news, I think that a user accessable r/w partition is a really good idea, as is the minimal r/o part. I assume that the boundraries that you...
I'd prefer going the other direction. Get a bootloader that understands cramfs and can reflash partitions. Then something like: 0x000000 - 0x003FFF 16k boot...
... Yes. We can dump the filesystem and glibc symbol names show up in the statically linked Zipit binary. ... Sure. Will do off-list ... Great. Thanx. -- Tim...
... The downside to this arrangement is that changes to the userland filesystem -- say, to the init.d/ scripts -- could render a machine unuseable without a...
... They seem to work in Ad-Hoc. As for connecting two. I don't have two, but mine is darn keen on connecting to my neighbours AP ;-). Seriously - They don't...
... The most important thing to store locally and easily are: WEP keys SSH keys That's what 64K is great for. (If the 64K is a tarball then zipit should...
Hmm a simple WAP browser would be fun to make and would be a lot simpler than links as links deals with cookies, and stripping away a lot of useless tags. I...
Hi, I need a device to measure the time a magnetic sensor is triggered by a magnet, then transmit that info wirelessly (via whatever) to a central location....
Let's try that again: Me too. iwconfig will put the card into ad-hoc mode (or not as you chose), and iwconfig eth0 essid xxxx to connect to things works fine,...
Yeah, I don't think ap xxx works, but unless you have multiple ap's with the same essid (and if that's the case does it matter which ap it connects to - unless...
... Depending on your level of programming skill, you could use the debug pin on the mainboard: it's accessible and easy to solder to. You'd need to write a...
Hi there, This is a final call for donations for the Zipit autopsy project. For those of you interested in interfacing the Zipit with external devices, the...
Have 5 wires + vcc and gnd can watch boot to "loading linux", which is where I guess I messed up The hardware loader stops with Zipit is not responding - not...
... That's the problem. The "DBG" pin is not grounded. Rule: "DBG" pin grounded for serial reflashing, not grounded otherwise. ... Background: With the DBG pin...
So I've been travelling the past several weeks, and still haven't had time to install the 5-wire mod. (Didn't want to pack my soldering gear :-) Nonetheless,...
... Thanks to all who contributed - in alphabetical order by first name, you are: David Anders, Glenn Meader, Marcus Berglund, Nick Hatch, Robert Navarro, and...
... No doubt I'm making some stupid mistake - but not that stupid. (I've used the "debug" pin on these procesor on a different board before. know the routine....
