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 :)

Got my hands on neo freerunner debug board (here's its photo), it has place for 20 pin jtag connector (I need to find one and solder it). Thanks to max_posedon who borrowed this board to me :) The only missing thing now is screw driver, as I have no screw driver for such small screws... I'm going to find and buy it tomorrow :)

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.

Good news everyone :) Ben Dooks merged my patches for rx1950 support into his tree last night. It seems that we'll see basic rx1950 support in mainline 2.6.35 kernel. Neat :) Also ~1.5 weeks ago I finished battery driver for rx1950, it's accurate enough and it can be used for h1930/h1940; however it needs some cleanup. And now I'm preparing report for LVEE, so my kernel activity is frozen for some time :)

Good news everyone! I've got WiFi on rx1950 working without any tricks like enabling wifi in WinMo and then boot in linux :) I was able to connect to my WPA-protected AP, and then login to PDA via ssh over WiFi. Some technical details: WiFi is clocked from clkout1 pin, and clkout1 source should be FCLK (I also set clkout0 source to HCLK as WinMo does). WiFi enabling sequence: enable WiFi clock by configuring GPH10 pin function to CLKOUT1 enable LED by setting GPC8 and GCP9 to 1 enable chip select by configuring GPA15 pin function to nGCS4 reset pin by setting GPA14 to 0, waiting 200ms, and then setting it to 1 enable radio power by setting GPA11 pin to 1 WiFi disabling sequence: disable radio power by setting GPA11 to 0 ensure that reset pin (GPA14) is set to 0 disable chip select by configuring GPA15 as output and setting it to 0 disable LED by setting GPC8 and GPC9 to 0 disable WiFi clock by configuring GPH10 as output and setting it to 0 acx100 base address is 0x20000000, irq i...

I'm still working on rx1950 environment, and I've found a nice dwm-based WM - echinus. It supports docks (actually it supports subset of EWMH), so I hacked xkbd (on screen keyboard) to be a dock. Now I'm able to show/hide on-screen keyboard via shortcut (it will be tape recorder key on PDA). Now I need some panel with EWMH support, with ability to launch apps and display some info via text/pixmaps (dzen2?) xkbd patch is available here . Screenshot is available here .

I'm working on kernel for rx1950 in parallel with userspace work. Since next step is improved battery driver, I've spent couple of hours to create following app . It's simple battery monitor with logging capability - I need some logs to get U,I(t) battery dependencies, as I don't believe windows driver, it seems that it displays battery level applying some heuristic - I don't see direct correlation between battery voltage/current and level displayed by windows driver. P.S. I've sent rx1950 patches upstream on 20 of March and still no responce. I'm a bit disappointed - does it really take so long to review patch series?
