sorry to keep adding posts lol -
just wanted to mention, in case someone else wants the various nand tools, compiled binaries of mtdutils (yes I was too lazy to cross-build it myself) I got from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=29FTH4RK (origin from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=17911541 ) |

aaaand a little more spam from me:
so I got nanddump sorted with oob, but dumping the mtd nodes still mostly looks like garbage (ok it's not pure FFFFFFFF content, I see some pointers here and there to UBI filesytems - great...) also tried using yaffsexpert (as mentioned a couple months ago by vicinc in another thread) - hoping it might "do the right thing" with the mtds - but the resulting images look no different than dumps using dd, dump_image, nanddump. blah. fed up with it again (and it's late here), but when the irritation subsides I guess the next step is seeing if the dumped images (or the mtd nodes themselves) can be mounted as ubifs. |

Just remove the old switch and replace with a new one. If you go the replacement route make sure you have a temperature controlled iron and it has a fine point tip, that way you are much less likely to damage the circuit board and bridge tracks. |

If you could supply a *good* photo I might be able to suggest something as a replacement - it is rather difficult to do without seeing the item in question. |

ok, obviously I'm late to the party here: you're right, the GM10/bluepanther does have the same (well very very similar) ubi fs layout as the Edge, rather than the more traditional android use of mtds. however, its recovery, while still a little lame vs what most users would want, is less "crippled" (to use someone else's word) than the Edge - you can replace uboot, for one! given how different its recovery is, not sure how much its sdk will help us, at least not until our crazy serial ubooters have a better idea how the Edge boots up. |

Just in case yall havent seen dudes post
Pocket Edge Hardware/software - LONG - TECHNICAL I spent some time this afternoon poking around the guts of my Pocket Edge, this is what I've found. The internal storage (all parts of it) is a single flash chip which appears to be 3.5 gig large. Its broken into 4 pieces ubi:system, ubi:userdata, ubi:cache and ubi:storage ubi:storage is mapped to /intstorage and is the 2.5 gig of free space. ubi:system -> /system 322.2 meg ubi:userdata -> /data 322.2 meg ubi:cache -> /cache 322.7 meg I think with a custom update (if we figure out how to do that) and if people move there storage to sdcard we can cut up the storage differently to increase app space. ubi:userdata is where our installed applications end up. The really interesting stuff is in ubi:system /system/app - all the APK's that the edge ships with /system/bin - standard linux stuff /system/esi - this is that holds the eink/annotation software system startup stuff esijournal/esicalender/esireader applications attempt to connect to the WACOM DSU (most likely a WACOM 8001) which is a pen enabled touch sensor that goes under a display. all 3 go through the same startup (and error out since I'm remote) Connect to DirectFB (this is a low overhead display manager, probably to get the different tool bars etc) Connect DirectFB to WACOM DSU (touch screen) Connect FBDev - DirectFB (800x800 resolution) GDK is also involved - this is a drawing kit for displays and probably provides the windows of the menus/toolbars - possible part of the annotation feature as well. start_epd.sh Turns on power save mode for the Marvell processor init_wacdsu - drives the wacom dsu i'm guessing sd8688.ko - Wifi/Bluetooth Loads kernel modules syscopyarea.ko - makes a bit copy of a FB - this is probably our save for annotation sysfillrect.ko sysimgblt.ko - makes an 8 bit source into a 32bit image (copy to lcd feature) fb_sys_fops.ko - underlying frame buffer read/write to memory ep3522fb.ko - (nonstandard - possibly eink display driver? referenced as EPD_MODULE) - this looks custom from the brief peak I've had. bmm.ko - (nonstandard - unknown at this time google bmm_drv.ko shows up some stuff for Marvell Dove) reference to thirdeye (there is also an application named this) and loads udlfb.ko udlfb.ko is a driver for Displaylink (displaylink.com) which is a usb based monitor technology this is our driver for useing a projector I see people talking about? Another kernel module of note is galcore.ko driver from Vivante Graphics GPU esi_init.sh calls fix_permissions.sh which is based on this blog post to fix some Android problem http://blog.elsdoerfer.name/2009/05/...id-mismatches/ QCUdevScript.sh - looks for a 3G modem we don't have probably useful for external 3g modems. |
