I find that I can not run the GPS daemon gllin with newer kernels, such
as
http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.2/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/fic-gta01/uImage-2.6.22.5-moko11-r2-fic-gta01.bin
downloaded on 29 August 2007.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/DM2$ ./gllin
-sh: ./gllin: not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/DM2$ ls -l

I suspect the problem is that the 2.6 kernels do not support this 2.4.0
executable format:
tsqali >> file gllin
gllin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (ARM), for GNU/Linux
2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.0, stripped
tsqali >>
SO, I'm attempting to do a restore from the backup I did of the original
image following page:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Getting_Started_with_your_Neo1973#Initial_backup
My first attempt was to use dfu_util:
tsqali >> sudo dfu-util -a 3 -R -D mtdblock2
This fails with an error message about the write continuing past the end
of the device--not all that surprising now that I think about it.
So I fall back to scp'ing the kernel image over to the neo1973 and using dd:
tsqali >> scp mtdblock2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
mtdblock2 100% 2064KB 412.8KB/s
00:05
tsqali >> ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dd if=mtdblock2 of=/dev/mtdblock2
4128+0 records in
4128+0 records out
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ reboot
-sh: reboot: Input/output error
At this point, it appears that every command which is not part of the
shell gives me an I/O error. I need to remove the battery to turn the
phone off. I would expect this if I were changing the RFS, but why does
this happen replacing the kernel? Is the kernel being actively paged
from NAND?
Happily, I can restore the newer kernel with dfu-util, but this puts me
back where I started.
So my two questions:
1) Any other suggestions on running gllin?
2) What is the right way to restore the device from mtdblock backups?
