Unbricking, still step #1 :)


Found and bought screw driver set (here it is on photo) at local market, it costs ~7.33$m and it contains T5 head, which I need to disassemble my PDA :)

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...

qemu with Z2 support

I spent some days getting qemu to emulate some Z2 hardware, and got some results :) Almost all hw is emulated, it lacks only voltage regulator and WiFi, but it's not easy to implement Marvell's WiFi chip, because there's no datasheet, and anyway it makes no sense. Also screen rotation is not supported (yet). Stock bootloader - blob - (with slight modification) and stock kernel works. Blob puts Z2 into deepsleep on reset, so I hacked it not to do this. How to compile qemu: git clone git://github.com/anarsoul/qemu-z2.git cd qemu-z2 ./configure --audio-drv-list=alsa --target-list=arm-softmmu make -j4 arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm binary is what you need. So, how to hack blob: put your blob image (first 64kb of NOR) somewhere convert it to hex representation with xxd: xxd mtdblock1.bin >mtdblock1.hex apply patch onto mtdblock1.hex convert hex back to bin: mv mtdblock1.bin mtdblock1.bin.bak; xxd -r mtdblock1.hex >mtdblock1.bin I don't pu...

rx3715

Image
Got Linux booting on my rx3715. Problem was in wrong serial port number. I thought that serial port brought to external connector is ttySAC0, but it's ttySAC1 on rx3715. Just changed some values in kernel config - and voila - it boots. Will try to get touch screen, buttons, udc and ASIC3 working a bit later. Btw, now I have serial cable for iPAQs and JTAG adapter (Olimex). So I hope debugging will be easier now. :)
