Another brick in the wall :)

Just bricked my rx1950 by flashing prepared kernel image instead of WinMo.

Now need to disassemble my rx1950, find out where's jtag pins, make jtag cable and restore it :)

Here's sources of tool to prepare kernel image, however don't use it, it doesn't work yet.

Hacking on fingerprinting again or AES2550/AES2810 driver for libfprint

Image
Back in 2007 I participated in driver development for AuthenTec AES2501 scanner, driver was later merged into libfprint project. I didn't hack much on libfprint, just sent few bugfixes, but recently AuthenTec announced that they're willing to send fingerprint scanners for opensource enthusiasts who wants to develop driver for those scanners. So far, so good... I've wrote a letter to AuthenTec and they proposed to send AES2550 or AES2810 scanner to me. I chose AES2550. Actually, AES2550 and AES2810 are pretty same (AES2550 driver should work with AES2810), the only difference is missing crypto engine on AES2550 (who needs cryptography anyway? :)) So, I've got parcel with scanner in August, but unfortunately had no spare time for hacking, I only coded driver stub and read datasheet from AuthenTec. So, in September/October I've spent few (5-6?) nights hacking on this driver, and finally got it working on my AES2550. Image quality is much better then on my AE...

One step closer...

One more annoying issue was fixed tonight :) No more LCD flickering after resume! :) Problem was in timer1. rx1950 uses it somehow for clocking LCD (Don't know how :)). After booting from windows, linux reuse windows' timer settings, but these settings were lost after suspend/resume. Solution is simple: reconfigure timer1 in rx1950_lcd_power (some bits of TCON, TCFG0, TCFG1, regs TCNTB1, TCMPB1). Patch will be available as soon as embedded.net.ru get up :) One more hint: To get rid of 270 degrees screen rotation add following lines at the exports section  of /etc/init.d/opie: export QWS_DISPLAY=LinuxFb:Transformed export QWS_SIZE=240x320

Access point with Raspberry Pi and rtl8192cu dongle

On Thursday ethernet ports (WAN and LAN1-4) in my Asus WL500GPv1 router have completely died, so I needed a replacement. Hopefully, recently I've got Raspberry Pi, so I decided to use it as a router. I've got TP-LINK TL-WN821NC USB stick from local store which is based on RTL8192CU chipset. Unfortunately, its driver doesn't work with vanilla hostapd, but requires patched ancient version of hostapd from Realtek . I'm using Archlinux on my rpi and I've found manual how to setup AP using this USB stick  here , but I don't want to overwrite binaries from repository packages, since it's not a sane way, and it can (and will) be broken by hostapd update. So I prepared a package, here's source package (just unpack it and build with makepkg directly on rpi), and here's binary package for armv6h (you can install it with pacman -U). I can't put PKGBUILD in AUR, since there's no stable hosting for Realtek's hostapd. If anyone is willing to host...
