Hi,
I don't know what might be the problem. It seems a different problem than drivers in your case as device is not getting detected. I tried moving the gserial directory (containing g_serial.ko and start_usb_serial.oar file) to Sd memory and inside other folders. Onyx gets detected every time. |

ok, i figured it out,
the vnc-client must run on the PC, the vnc.oar just connects to it. For all who have problems with the serial driver on windows: i found this website: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/dok...-gadget:serial and there i found code i put into an .inf and installed it to windows7 64 in my case after pressing F8 during boot and deselect driver authentification in the device-mager with add legacy driver. it worked! Code for the Inf (win7 64bit): Code:
[Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" Class=Ports ClassGuid={4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} Provider=%ProviderName% DriverVer=10/15/2009,1.0.0.0 [MANUFACTURER] %ProviderName%=DeviceList, NTx86, NTamd64 [DeviceList.NTx86] %BfinCDC%=DriverInstall,USB\VID_0525&PID_A4A7 [DeviceList.NTamd64] %BfinCDC%=DriverInstall,USB\VID_0525&PID_A4A7 [DriverInstall] include=mdmcpq.inf CopyFiles=FakeModemCopyFileSection AddReg=LowerFilterAddReg,SerialPropPageAddReg [DriverInstall.Services] include = mdmcpq.inf AddService = usbser, 0x00000002, LowerFilter_Service_Inst ; This adds the serial port property tab to the device properties dialog [SerialPropPageAddReg] HKR,,EnumPropPages32,,"MsPorts.dll,SerialPortPropPageProvider" [Strings] ProviderName = "CDC Driver" BfinCDC= "Blackfin Com Port" |

VNC hack on Windows 8
I just stumbled across this awesome thread yesterday and was wondering if anyone has successfully installed the M92 VNC hack on a PC that runs Windows 8. Has anyone out there done this?

This is apparently a known bug in the SDK. See here for a solution (both essentially the same): https://github.com/onyx-intl/booxsdk/pull/4/files https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=183237 |

Hi erkkia
First I thank you for the instruction you posted for turning the boox into a PC monitor. And I have been trying to do it. Not sure if you are still coming to this forum but I have faced some issues. First, the Serial_VNC.oar that I copied to the boox side freezes the device every time I tap on it. It freezes either it is copied to the boox internal storage or the SD memory. Any idea why it freezes the device? And about the VNC viewer thing, even if I double-click the "bin/tvnjviewer-2.5.2/tightvnc-jviewer.jar", nothing appears. When double clicking the jar file that I downloaded from the VNC's site, the interface appears. * The Java Runtime version is SE7 U17. Do you know why this is happening? * My Windows Ver is 8. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you! Last edited by Kitty1221; 04-11-2013 at 06:04 AM. |

Hello Kitty1221,
1) Serial_vnc.oar doesn't freeze the device. It is actually waiting for the signal from computer side and suspends m92 functionality temporarily.You will see a circle with 7 black dots and 1 white dot. You can return back to normal functionality by pressing the "Back/Return" Key. 2) Regarding VNC viewer: Since this is a jar file, you will have to open it via command prompt (cmd.exe). My file is stored at this location :- G:\Onyx Boox M92\Boox M92 as eink Monitor\serial vnc app v0.1\bin\tvnjviewer-2.5.2 So, i type in cmd.exe these two lines cd /d G:\Onyx Boox M92\Boox M92 as eink Monitor\serial vnc app v0.1\bin\tvnjviewer-2.5.2 java -Dboox_serial_port=COM32 -jar tightvnc-jviewer.jar -JpegImageQuality=Lossless -ViewOnly=Yes 3) You are on Windows 8, so i don't know if there will be any additional problems. Here are the steps i usually follow : a) Restart my windows and press f8 key, Now i select the option "Disable driver signature enforcement". If i don't do this then device doesn't get detected. b) Click on start_usb_serial_withoutgetty.oar; Gadget Serial(COMxx) shows up in device manager under Ports(COM & LPT). Also start_usb_serial_withoutgetty.oar file should be placed in the same folder with other gserial files c) Click on Serial_vnc.oar d) PC side:- start tightvnc server.exe e) go to cmd.exe and paste above two lines. Also COM port changes its value every time. It usually takes values 31-34 f) type in the values such as localhost, port no and then password for tightvnc server; that's it Last edited by Feher; 04-12-2013 at 03:10 AM. |

It worked
Hi Feher
Thank you very much for your instruction!! It worked!!!! I had to set the Java runtime file path in the user environment variable. However, my boox m92 only uses a small area of the display. My m92 is 9.7 inch screen though it only uses 14.5cm in width and 8.5cm in length. Is there anyway to make the monitor area a full 9.7 inch monitor? If you know some ways to make it, that will be great. Also I'm glad to know that Windows 8 (Enterprise) works. |

That's good news , Now users can upgrade to windows 8 without any worries.
I, too, had to set the Java runtime file path in the user environment variable but i forgot about it. Regarding display area: I didn't face this problem. But display area depends on screen rotation prior to running serial_vnc.oar If boox is in landscape mode then display area is less (14.5 cm x 13.5 cm), otherwise it covers full screen (21 cm x 14.5 cm). Your measurements are different than these One possible solution is to goto "Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution" Here you can setup a 2nd display. Set it as "display device on : VGA" and change its resolution to match your pc resolution. (There is no mechanical switch on my laptop to turn off display; so when i want to turn off my screen and read only from boox, i put my laptop to "Projector only mode". The display area was different initially and i changed it by setting up a hypothetical 2nd display) Last edited by Feher; 04-12-2013 at 06:24 PM. |

Hello, I am writing this while using my Boox M92 as an e-ink monitor. Hopefully my eyes will thank me for it.
Some details: OS: Windows 8 VNC server: TightVNC v. 2.6.4 VNC client: TightVNC modified and downloaded from this thread. Serial driver: Gadget Serial from Acer Inc. downloaded from link above (no disabling digital signatures required) Many thanks to those who have contributed to this work. |
