DerBesserwisser: harmonized "Super Zaxxon"

'''Super Zaxxon''' is currently the official operating system for the pandora based on [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/ Ångström] Linux|Gnu. Super Zaxxon is a version upgrade system with frequent system-wide small releases. Compatibility is ensured as a basis of Super Zaxxon. Packages, often relying on their own environment are self retained within the .pnd format and available on [http://repo.openpandora.org/ a pnd repo] separate from the self hosted system packages. An evolutionary non-compatible similarly customized Ångström build called .next is in development.

=='''SUPER ZAXXON'''==

=='''Installation''' prerequisites (''Offline'')==
You need a pandora, and alternatively an SD card, the latter is preferred because running from SD card is the ''recommended install method''.

=== General Notes ===
* Remember that your Pandora will turn on as soon as a charger is connected. It's also not possible to completely power down a Pandora that's connected to an external power supply.
* Even while charging, a Pandora can be rebooted, either by software (for example, during the installation process below), or with the reboot hotkey: Hold the Pandora button on the keyboard, and flick the power switch to the right.
* Do not connect an external power supply while the battery is removed.

* '''When the firmware is (re-)installed, all personal files and settings stored on internal flash are DELETED (your PND applications and all data on your SD cards will not be touched). Your Pandora will revert to it's default settings and show the first boot wizard on bootup.'''

== '''Full''' fresh installation ==

=== To '''SD card''' (external) ===

#SD card formatted with the FAT32 filesystem (default on Windows). Extract the contents of the firmware .zip file to the root (top level) directory of that card.
# Make sure your Pandora is turned off (remove the battery in case it crashes or doesn't turn off by using normal means).
'''[http://openpandora.org/firmware/fullflash/SuperZaxxon160.zip Download firmware image of Super Zaxxon 1.60 (20-dec-2013)]'''
[http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/15198-superzaxxon-v160-released/ forum thread]
# Insert the SD card into your Pandora's first slot (the one on the left, which is closer to headphone jack).
# Press and hold the right shoulder button ('R'), then turn the power on (if you removed the battery, insert it while holding 'R').
# A text menu should appear on screen. Switch to "boot from SD1" using the d-pad, and select this entry with either the 'B' or 'X' controller button.
# Wait for the flash process to finish. Connect a charger to be sure the battery doesn't run out while flashing. Press enter when asked to do so. Might take up to 15 minutes, be sure to wait for it to finish.
# If you use an external power supply, the device will reboot. Othwerwise, it should turn off - in this case press power (without holding 'R') to turn it back on.
# It should then start it's first boot process which might take up to 15 minutes. Be sure to wait for it to finish, otherwise firmware corruption might happen. The installation process will show some warnings, which can be safely ignored.
# When everything is set up, you will be guided through the first boot wizard.

=== To '''[[NAND]]''' (internal) ===

Where Super Zaxxon boots from out of the box.

The UBIFS-Version can be used to flash the firmware to the Pandora.

Please only use it if you really need to. Reflashing CAN solve some problems, but it's not the magical tool that can fix everything. You should always try to find another solution. Before reflashing, try the upgrade path below You can get help at the [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/forum/8-support/ Support Section at the boards].

http://openpandora.org/firmware/images/Angstrom-pandora-xfce-image-nowifi-glibc-ipk-2010.4-test-20131220-omap3-pandora.ubifs.img

=='''Partial''' distribution upgrade==

Versions after Super Zaxxon 1.52 come with an online firmware update utility: Just select ''System'' -> ''Upgrade Pandora OS'' from the Pandora menu to download the latest system packages (needs working internet connection).

===To '''SD-card'''===
====GUI-driven SD installer tool====

Instead of installing the firmware manually on the SD card, you may use the '''GUI-driven tool sd_installer.pnd by David Boucher''', which automates the entire process.
http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=sd-install-2011-03-10

You only need the downloaded firmware tarball, the sd_installer.pnd and a suitable SD card.

=== To '''[[NAND]]'''(internal) ===

You can extract the tar.bz2-version of the pandora-image onto an SD Card (EXT2) and directly boot off it.Be sure to include a kernel in /boot (unless you want to use the one on the NAND) and use a boot.txt / autoboot.txt to pass parameters to u-boot.This way, you can boot off your SD Card and meddle around with the OS without risking breaking NAND state.

==Installation prerequisites (''Online'')==
It is also possible to do an install while the system is running.
Grab the ubifs image and install that from nand to SD-card or vice versa. This is an advanced option.

=='''.next''' (version in development)==
Also called Yars' Revenge W.I.P

== '''System update''' ==

http://pandorawiki.org/Boot_setup
http://blogs.distant-earth.com/wp/?p=79

The sourcecode for the programs included in the images can be found in the sources-directory, including licenses for each single one of them. The kernel and u-boot sourcecode as well as some other Pandora specific sourcecode can be found on http://git.openpandora.org/
Advanced users can get raw firmware images and rootfs (for SD Card bootup) as well as older versions [http://www.openpandora.org/firmware/ here].

== Compile build from source code ==

<source lang="bash">
git clone git://git.openpandora.org/pandora-oe-environment.git pandora-firmware
cd pandora-firmware
source ./op-env-oe.sh
./initial-setup.sh
</source>

''Building Yars' Revenge W.I.P.''
Also called .next
Query aTc or DJWillis until you get a response.

The following instructions will allow you to build the current .next image.
remember that your building the tip of the expermental tree and not everything even remotely works. Best for people who want to hack and help get it into shape. Do not expect anything remotely good enough to run on your Pandora for real

It is suggested that you use debian or a debian chroot.
In addidtion to the base debian install you will need
autoconf
automake
build-essential
coreutils
diffstat
diffstat texi2html gawk chrpath
docbook-utils
fdisk
gawk
gcc
git
git-core
gnome-doc-utils

<source lang="bash">
cd <INSTALLDIR>
git clone git://github.com/openpandora/openpandora-oe-environment.git
cd openpandora-oe-environment
./openpandora-setup.sh config
</source>

This will install a number of git reposiries containing the build tools and recipes
bitbake
openembedded-core
meta-openembedded
meta-angstrom
meta-texasinstruments
meta-openpandora
* the basic hardware layer that works with OpenEmbedded and can be used in most OpenEmbedded distributions (Angstrom, Yocto, SHR etc.). That hardware layer also needs meta-texasinstruments (the scripts will bring that in, the Angstrom ones or ours).
meta-openpandora-vendor
* the vendor (i.e. openpandora) specific stuff, scripts, tweaks, image files, task files (i.e. what to install and order) and some recipes for things like libpnd.

From time to time you will want to update and fetch the changes to the base and openpandora recipes. e.g. those report on #openpandora by CIA-57
<source lang="bash">
. ~/.oe/environment-openpandora
cd <INSTALLDIR>/openpandora-oe-environment
./openpandora-setup.sh update
</source>

There are a number of recipes for build images in openpandora-oe-environment/metadata/meta-openpandora-vendor/recipes-core/images
pandora-core-image no desktop or X11
pandora-xfce-image XFCE desktop environment
systemd-pndwip-image
<source lang="bash">
. ~/.oe/environment-openpandora
cd <INSTALLDIR>/openpandora-oe-environment/build
bitbake systemd-core-image
</source>

This will download required sources and package dependancies, depending on the state of updatesm, build packages and produc an image.

The preferred method for sending patches for meta-openpandora and meta-openpandora-vendor is to create a fork in github apply you changes and send pull requests to OpenPandora Firmware mailing list: firmware-dev@openpandora.org
Subscribe at: http://openpandora.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firmware-dev

= Kernel status =
The first [[firmware]] release was based on a heavily patched linux-2.6.27-omap1 kernel. linux-omap used to be OMAP community kernel fork, nowadays its code was either merged to mainline or dropped. Further OMAP development continues on mainline kernels, linux-omap tree is mainly used to queue developed code to mainline.

Current firmware releases are based on 3.x kernel series.

= Status =
Driver support in 3.x series is more or less complete, however not all parts are merged to mainline kernel due to various reasons.

== merged code (already in mainline as of 3.4) ==
* board support (enables UART, I2C, SPI, RTC, MMC{1,2,3}, NAND, OTG, EHCI, gpio-keys, leds-gpio, keypad, touchscreen, regulators)
* sound: ALSA ASoC machine driver
* bq27500 fuel gauge
* LCD panel driver
* wl1251 [[WiFi]] driver glue (portions only in 2.6.37)
* charging (partial only, 2.6.37)
* wl1251 complete powerdown/suspend using runtime_pm (2.6.38).
* backlight driver (3.4)

this doesn't list various bugfix patches to get above working :)

== not merged ==
now in openpandora.org GIT (mainline merge status in brackets)
* nubs (aka vsense, needs rework for mainline)
* keypad fn handling (not allowed in mainline)
* PWM LEDs (needs rework)
* Overclocking support
* some charging bits (too many hacks)
* various random hacks that benefit pandora but may harm other devices, hence mainline incompatible

= openpandora.org git structure =
{{merge|Firmware governance}}
Support for various kernels is available in pandora-XX branches or tags, XX corresponds to last part of kernel version number. 2.6.27 is an exception, it's in pandora-27-omap1 branch.

Branches based on pre-release -rc kernels will be often rebased. This means you can't do 'git pull' on them, use 'git fetch; git reset --hard origin/pandora-XX' instead. '''Warning''': this will destroy all your changes (even if they are commited), backup them first!

= Configuring newer kernels =
When compiling mainline kernel, use
<source lang="bash">make omap2plus_defconfig</source>
for openpandora.org kernels you can use omap3_pandora_defconfig
<source lang="bash">make omap3_pandora_defconfig</source>
after either of those are run, you can tune the configuration for your needs:
<source lang="bash">make menuconfig</source>
Now you should be able to build a working kernel. More info available at [[Kernel build instructions]].

==Pandora Firmware Governance==

The Pandora device is an open ecology --

The official [[firmware]] is open source and open to patches from the public; to maintain high quality firmware releases a process needs to exist -- audit trails need to be kept to ensure licensing is clear, testing has to be ensured to keep quality high, and our standard practice for submission made clear so it is easy and swift to submit your work.

Help us sort it out :) This process itself is open source -- as the ecosystem expands our model will change with it; if you are seeing problems, then contact one of the maintainers, mailing list, or the community at large and
All of which are part of the [[Team]]

The firmware is all of the software that is supplied with a device, so does include the applications which are provided as standard. It is all open source (meaning that OpenPandora provides the source code, often as a requirement of the [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html GNU GPL]). A small quantity of the firmware is provided as binary files, which OpenPandora may not be at liberty to disclose the full details of. An example of closed source firmware is for the analogue nubs, which are shipped with small micro-controllers pre-programmed by the nub manufacturer. Only some of the hardware designs and occasional binary blobs like the [[WiFi]] driver are currently not open source; the rest of the firmware stack is open source (predominantly GPL with some LGPL).

== Replacing the Firmware (Un-bricking) ==

Rather than patch the firmware, the firmware may be replaced wholesale with a freshly downloaded firmware. This ought to be regarded as a last resort in the case of problems, there is almost certainly a simpler way to fix most problems.

The process for reinstalling the firmware is as follows: [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/53637-first-boot-its-asking-for-a-login-and-password/page__view__findpost__p__858053]
, otherwise firmware corruption might happen again.

In case of emergency, there is an older version
[http://notaz.gp2x.de/releases/pandora/pandora-firmware-2010-05-01-Zaxxon.zip here] (Version: 2010-05-01-Zaxxon)

== Debugging broken firmware ==
[[Boot setup]] help with info on this process.
If you have a problem booting the firmware, and want to investigate before just replacing (or need to try and rescue some data from the [[NAND]]) you can boot into a console by doing the following: Make a file named boot.txt in root of SD with this[http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54918-unbricking-my-pandora/page__view__findpost__p__885362]:
<pre>
setenv bootargs ubi.mtd=4 ubi.mtd=3 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs rw rootflags=bulk_read console=tty0 vram=6272K omapfb.vram=0:3000K init=/bin/bash
ubi part boot && ubifsmount boot && ubifsload 0x80300000 uImage && bootm 0x80300000 && boot
</pre>
then holding down the right shoulder button on boot and booting from the SD card. (It doesn't require an operating system on the SD card, but it will use the boot configuration specified there). This is a text mode boot to the shell, using the [[kernel]] from the [[NAND]].
This should provide a way of bypassing any broken startup scripts, adding in logging for a normal boot, etc. It does not start the full OS, just a basic shell.

== Reporting bugs ==

Please do make sure that you are using the latest official firmware and hotfix. You can find it in the [http://www.open-pandora.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=178&Itemid=32&lang=en official support section of the website]. Reports made against older versions might be invalid since the issues were already fixed.

If the bug does still exist in the latest released version, please follow these steps when reporting it in the [http://bugs.openpandora.org official bug tracker]. You will need to register an account in the tracker. Once you are logged into the account, just click on ''Add new task'' to see a form where you can provide the information required to assign and solve the bugs. Below is an explanation of what you should enter where.

== Stuff that belongs there ==

* Bugs that happen with the default operating system on the pandora.
* Things missing in the default operating system on the pandora.
* Bugs and issues with the codec pack.

== What does not belong in the official tracker ==

* Bugs with other .pnd files like eg [[emulators]], [[games]] or other applications that are not part of the main OS.
* Features missing in other progs.

== Issue attributes explained ==

Here is the list of things you should keep in mind and mention in your bug report or feature request to make sure that it can be solved. Please do also make sure to react on comments that are left in the report, since the people that feel responsible for solving the issues might need more information that only you can provide.

;Summary: This should be a really short summary of the issue at hand, as clean as possible. Something like eg ''ABC does not work'' is not good, better write ''ABC crashes when sounds are played''.

;Drop Down Boxes: This area on the left side is used to provide some general information that makes it easier for devs to assign the reports to the correct people for fixing things. They are often useful in fixing the report in the end, too.

;Task Type: Just select it from the drop down box. If you want to report a bug, make it ''Bug Report'', if it is a missing feature, select ''Feature Request''. You should only select ''To Do (Reminder)'' if you are one of the devs to leave a note for yourself.

;Category Core: Everything that belongs to the basic systems like the kernel and the drivers. The real core that lies beneath.

;Category Application: Meant for all the programs on top of the basis core. This eg. includes problems in minimenu, Pandora specific XFCE, pidgin, ... Basically you should ask yourself if your issue might be kernel/driver related, if it is not, select this one.

;Status: Can only be changed by bug tracker admins (aka "official pandora devs").

;Operating System: Select the "series" of the operating system on the pandora here. The first firmware series is called Zaxxon.

;Severity: How important do you estimate this bug/issue? It should only be marked ''critical'' if it is a real security breach or something breaking *everything*. Often the default ''low'' is fine, since the values can be adjusted later on by bug tracker admins.

;Priority: Can only be changed by bug tracker admins (aka "official pandora devs").

;Reported Version: Please select which version state your pandora has in the release that you selected under ''Operating System''. Basically list the latest hotfix that you installed.

;Due in Version: Can only be changed by bug tracker admins (aka "official pandora devs").

;Details: A neat, large field with lots of space for all the details that you can provide. Yes, in general a case of "the more, the better" applies here. Here is a list of things that you should mention in the report:

;Problem: Detailed description of the *exact* problem you see. Please do include some log output, if you have it available.

;Reproducibility: How often does the issue occur? Is it reproducible? If it is, please provide detailed steps to do so.

;Actual Results: What happened after you performed the steps you listed under "Reproducibility"?

;Expected Results: What should have happened?

;Additional Information: Please do list any additional information, like for example the *exact* version of your OS (or the application). This is especially important if you were not able to select the exact version in the '''Reported Version''' drop down field. If you have any log output or patches, please do attach those as files to the report. If the file size would be too big, just compress them.

== Syntax in the Flyspray issue tracker ==

=== Internal reference to other issues ===

To refer to another issue use the syntax <nowiki>FS#N</nowiki> where N is the issue number you want to refer to, i.e. <nowiki>FS#123</nowiki>.
The parser then automatically renders this as a link to the other issue (HTML href attribute), and shows the issue's title in the mouseover info (HTML title attribute).

==Submission Workflow==

The general workflow for submitting a patch is something like this:

# Clone the appropriate section of the GIT repository - GIT is http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
# Apply changes and have fun
# Document and pass test cases
# Contact the maintainer of the subdomain the patch falls within - by mailing list above, or perhaps by PM in the forums, or email; for example, post first to the mailing list. In a pinch for libpnd submissions talk to skeezix, or notaz regarding kernel changes. But talk to the mailing list first, to keep discussion logged and centralized; if a backup neds to step up, the post history will already be there, right?
# If the maintainer is unavailable, contact the backups as listed above; they will know how to contact the champion, or can make the submission call themselves.
# If the maintainer and backups are not available, contact EvilDragon as release maintainer

==Submission Standards==

Submission are welcome! Historically the firmware has been built by a very small team, but that [[team]] size limits the number of changes that can be managed and developed simultaneously. If you've the skills and motivation to help, feel free to join the fray!

Patches have a few requirements; failing these requirements will cause your patch to be overlooked!

* '''Clearly documented''' -- what is this patch for?
* '''Clearly tested''' -- a list of test cases and test results -- the onus is on the submitter to test and prove testing; the committers have limited time and many people talking to them
* '''Proper format''' -- unix line ending, not dos line endings :)
= Contributing =
Help is always welcome, usually in form of testing or writing patches. In most cases it's best to file a bug report or feature request in the [http://bugs.openpandora.org bug tracker] so that things don't get lost.

== Submitting patches ==
It's best to send formal GIT-generated patch so that you get proper credit for your work and to make applying the patch easier. You can also add 'Signed-off-by' line ('-s' on 'git commit' will do it for you), which has [http://elinux.org/Developer_Certificate_Of_Origin the same meaning as for mainline Linux].

So basic workflow would be:
<source lang="bash">
<make changes>
git config --global user.name "My Name"
git config --global user.email "myname@domain.com"
git add <changed files>
git commit
git format-patch -o /somewhere/ -1
</source>
Then create a new feature request in bugtracker and attach the generated file(s), or send them to the [[Firmware_governance#Mailing_list|mailing list]], or post them on the forums, whatever is more convenient to you.

== '''Updating''' Super Zaxxon ==

=== Updating graphics drivers ===
[http://pandoralive.info/?p=2303 guided tour de blog by eki]

=== Installing Angstrom packages ===
It is no longer possible to install applications from the [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo Angstrom distribution repository] they used to be slightly more compatible but we' stuck with old stuff and they're a moving target

Packages are now self hosted on a pandora ångstrøm repo, as a second option to the pnd repo.

Installation is aquired by issuing the following commands
<source lang="bash">
opkg list
opkg install <name of package>
</source>
from the terminal as super-user. Note that by default, this will install to the [[NAND]], and there is not much free space to install more than a few small packages. Filling up the NAND is bad, since it will prevent the system from working properly. Also note that there is no guarantee that packages from the angstrom repository will be compatible with the versions of other software included in the firmware. See Introduction to apps for more details about installing applications. These update processes should work equally well if you have booted from a copy of the Pandora OS on SD card.

== Community Codec Package - for Pandora OS, Release 2010-05 ==
Installation of non-free codecs is highly discouraged. Consider instead free counterparts like opus, ogg vorbis and Flac for audio. webM, ogg theora for video or equivalent.

Due to licensing issues, licensed codecs like MP3 or MPEG-Video can not be distributed freely. They are optionally available in the Codec Package.
The package will install Gnome-MPlayer as well as a lot of audio / video-plugins and enables NTFS-support.
To install it, simply download the .PND-Package and place it into either the /pandora/menu or /pandora/desktop - Folder on your SD-Card.
Simply start it and follow the on-screen instructions. You can remove the .PND-Package from the card once it has been installed.

; Legal Notice:
Patent and copyright laws operate differently depending on which country you are in. Please obtain legal advice if you are unsure whether a particular patent or restriction applies to a media format you wish to use in your country.

'''[http://openpandora.org/downloads/CodecPack.pnd Click here to download Community Codec Pack]'''

The Codec Package enables NTFS-Support and installs [http://pastebin.com/TyzWBi0X|these packages]

== Older versions of Ångstrom ==

*In case you need them, you can download older firmware relases [http://openpandora.org/firmware/fullflash/ here].

*http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/13854-superzaxxon-v155-released/

*http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/10374-superzaxxon-v152-released/ 

SuperZaxxon1.50 can be upgraded to 1.52 without reinstallation by downloading and running the [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=szupdater1.openpandora.org Pandora SuperZaxxon updater PND].

==Zaxxon (Old version)===
The original Zaxxon firmware has been updated with a number of Hotfixes. Since then, a newer firmware called Super Zaxxon has been released.

'''Warning:''' If you do not have Zaxxon installed (boot screen says SuperZaxxon or something else), do not attempt to install any of these hofixes, doing so will break the system.

In general it's possible to apply hotfixes to any lower firmware versions without installing all previous hotfixes.

Hotfix 6
* [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/5652-hotfix-6-final-released/ Information and discussion] (2011-10-10)
* [http://www.openpandora.org/downloads/Zaxxon-HF6.zip Full flash update] (will delete all prior user settings; useful if you've screwed something up and are not sure of how to fix it)

=== Bugs and solutions ===

In general, the latest information about bugs will be on the official [http://bugs.openpandora.org/ bugtracker]; that is also the best place to go report a bug.

==== PNDs won't run ====

So you can start Xfce, but you can no longer run any programs or switch to Minimenu since you upgraded to HF6?

This can easily be solved without a reflash.

: [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&section=findpost&pid=98627 valhalla] This problem is because of version 1.0-r58.5 of the pandora-scripts package that includes some files that it should not have included and conflicts with the new version of pandora-libpnd. That version is installed at least in HF5rc2.

# Open a terminal in the location where you put your HF6 update PND. In the default file browser, you can do this by right-clicking in the folder where the PND is, and selecting "open terminal here". For example, if you put it on your desktop (<code>/pandora/desktop</code>), the text in the terminal to the left of your cursor should look something like <code>username-openpandora:/media/pandora/mmcblk0p1/pandora/desktop$</code>
# Type in <code>sudo mkdir /mnt/pnd</code> and press "enter". If it asks you for your password, type in what you use to log in to your Pandora, then press "enter".
# Type in <code>sudo mount -o loop HF6-Updater.pnd /mnt/pnd</code> and press "enter"
# Now we'll go to the packages directory in the PND and reinstall a couple of packages. Type in <code>cd /mnt/pnd/packages/other/</code> and press "enter"
# Type in <code>sudo opkg install pandora-libpnd_1.0-r56.5_armv7a.ipk</code> and press "enter"
# Type in <code>sudo opkg install pandora-skel_1.0-r9.5_omap3-pandora.ipk</code> and press "enter"
# To unmount the PND, type in <code>sudo umount /mnt/pnd</code> and press "enter". If it says it can't unmount it, just restart your Pandora.
# That's it, your Pandora should work again!

DerBesserwisser: Undone reverting to an older version

'''Super Zaxxon''' is currently the official operating system for the pandora based on [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/ Ångström] Linux|Gnu. Super zaxxon is a version upgrade system with frequent system-wide small releases. Compatibility is ensured as a basis of super-zaxxon. Packages, often relying on their own environment are self retained within the .pnd format and available on [http://repo.openpandora.org/ a pnd repo] separate from the self hosted system packages. An evolutionary non-compatible similarly customized Ångström build called .next is in development.

=='''SUPER ZAXXON'''==

=='''Installation''' prerequisites (''Offline'')==
You need a pandora, and alternatively an SD card, the latter is preferred because running from SD card is the ''recommended install method''.

=== General Notes ===
* Remember that your Pandora will turn on as soon as a charger is connected. It's also not possible to completely power down a Pandora that's connected to an external power supply.
* Even while charging, a Pandora can be rebooted, either by software (for example, during the installation process below), or with the reboot hotkey: Hold the Pandora button on the keyboard, and flick the power switch to the right.
* Do not connect an external power supply while the battery is removed.

* '''When the firmware is (re-)installed, all personal files and settings stored on internal flash are DELETED (your PND applications and all data on your SD cards will not be touched). Your Pandora will revert to it's default settings and show the first boot wizard on bootup.'''

== '''Full''' fresh installation ==

=== To '''SD card''' (external) ===

#SD card formatted with the FAT32 filesystem (default on Windows). Extract the contents of the firmware .zip file to the root (top level) directory of that card.
# Make sure your Pandora is turned off (remove the battery in case it crashes or doesn't turn off by using normal means).
'''[http://openpandora.org/firmware/fullflash/SuperZaxxon160.zip Download firmware image of SuperZaxxon 1.60 (20-dec-2013)]'''
[http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/15198-superzaxxon-v160-released/ forum thread]
# Insert the SD card into your Pandora's first slot (the one on the left, which is closer to headphone jack).
# Press and hold the right shoulder button ('R'), then turn the power on (if you removed the battery, insert it while holding 'R').
# A text menu should appear on screen. Switch to "boot from SD1" using the d-pad, and select this entry with either the 'B' or 'X' controller button.
# Wait for the flash process to finish. Connect a charger to be sure the battery doesn't run out while flashing. Press enter when asked to do so. Might take up to 15 minutes, be sure to wait for it to finish.
# If you use an external power supply, the device will reboot. Othwerwise, it should turn off - in this case press power (without holding 'R') to turn it back on.
# It should then start it's first boot process which might take up to 15 minutes. Be sure to wait for it to finish, otherwise firmware corruption might happen. The installation process will show some warnings, which can be safely ignored.
# When everything is set up, you will be guided through the first boot wizard.

=== To '''[[NAND]]''' (internal) ===

Where super zaxxon boots from out of the box.

The UBIFS-Version can be used to flash the firmware to the Pandora.

Please only use it if you really need to. Reflashing CAN solve some problems, but it's not the magical tool that can fix everything. You should always try to find another solution. Before reflashing, try the upgrade path below You can get help at the [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/forum/8-support/ Support Section at the boards].

http://openpandora.org/firmware/images/Angstrom-pandora-xfce-image-nowifi-glibc-ipk-2010.4-test-20131220-omap3-pandora.ubifs.img

=='''Partial''' distribution upgrade==

Versions after SuperZaxxon 1.52 come with an online firmware update utility: Just select ''System'' -> ''Upgrade Pandora OS'' from the Pandora menu to download the latest system packages (needs working internet connection).

===To '''SD-card'''===
====GUI-driven SD installer tool====

Instead of installing the firmware manually on the SD card, you may use the '''GUI-driven tool sd_installer.pnd by David Boucher''', which automates the entire process.
http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=sd-install-2011-03-10

You only need the downloaded firmware tarball, the sd_installer.pnd and a suitable SD card.

=== To '''[[NAND]]'''(internal) ===

You can extract the tar.bz2-version of the pandora-image onto an SD Card (EXT2) and directly boot off it.Be sure to include a kernel in /boot (unless you want to use the one on the NAND) and use a boot.txt / autoboot.txt to pass parameters to u-boot.This way, you can boot off your SD Card and meddle around with the OS without risking breaking NAND state.

==Installation prerequisites (''Online'')==
It is also possible to do an install while the system is running.
Grab the ubifs image and install that from nand to SD-card or vice versa. This is an advanced option.

=='''.next''' (version in development)==
Also called Yars' Revenge W.I.P

== '''System update''' ==

http://pandorawiki.org/Boot_setup
http://blogs.distant-earth.com/wp/?p=79

The sourcecode for the programs included in the images can be found in the sources-directory, including licenses for each single one of them. The kernel and u-boot sourcecode as well as some other Pandora specific sourcecode can be found on http://git.openpandora.org/
Advanced users can get raw firmware images and rootfs (for SD Card bootup) as well as older versions [http://www.openpandora.org/firmware/ here].

== Compile build from source code ==

source ./op-env-oe.sh
./initial-setup.sh
</source>

''Building Yars' Revenge W.I.P.''
Also called .next
Query aTc or DJWillis until you get a response.

The following instructions will allow you to build the current .next image.
remember that your building the tip of the expermental tree and not everything even remotely works. Best for people who want to hack and help get it into shape. Do not expect anything remotely good enough to run on your Pandora for real

It is suggested that you use debian or a debian chroot.
In addidtion to the base debian install you will need
autoconf
automake
build-essential
coreutils
diffstat
diffstat texi2html gawk chrpath
docbook-utils
fdisk
gawk
gcc
git
git-core
gnome-doc-utils

<source lang="bash">
cd <INSTALLDIR>
git clone git://github.com/openpandora/openpandora-oe-environment.git
cd openpandora-oe-environment
./openpandora-setup.sh config
</source>

This will install a number of git reposiries containing the build tools and recipes
bitbake
openembedded-core
meta-openembedded
meta-angstrom
meta-texasinstruments
meta-openpandora
* the basic hardware layer that works with OpenEmbedded and can be used in most OpenEmbedded distributions (Angstrom, Yocto, SHR etc.). That hardware layer also needs meta-texasinstruments (the scripts will bring that in, the Angstrom ones or ours).
meta-openpandora-vendor
* the vendor (i.e. openpandora) specific stuff, scripts, tweaks, image files, task files (i.e. what to install and order) and some recipes for things like libpnd.

From time to time you will want to update and fetch the changes to the base and openpandora recipes. e.g. those report on #openpandora by CIA-57
<source lang="bash">
. ~/.oe/environment-openpandora
cd <INSTALLDIR>/openpandora-oe-environment
./openpandora-setup.sh update
</source>

There are a number of recipes for build images in openpandora-oe-environment/metadata/meta-openpandora-vendor/recipes-core/images
pandora-core-image no desktop or X11
pandora-xfce-image XFCE desktop environment
systemd-pndwip-image
<source lang="bash">
. ~/.oe/environment-openpandora
cd <INSTALLDIR>/openpandora-oe-environment/build
bitbake systemd-core-image
</source>

This will download required sources and package dependancies, depending on the state of updatesm, build packages and produc an image.

The preferred method for sending patches for meta-openpandora and meta-openpandora-vendor is to create a fork in github apply you changes and send pull requests to OpenPandora Firmware mailing list: firmware-dev@openpandora.org
Subscribe at: http://openpandora.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firmware-dev

= Kernel status =
The first [[firmware]] release was based on a heavily patched linux-2.6.27-omap1 kernel. linux-omap used to be OMAP community kernel fork, nowadays its code was either merged to mainline or dropped. Further OMAP development continues on mainline kernels, linux-omap tree is mainly used to queue developed code to mainline.

Current firmware releases are based on 3.x kernel series.

= Status =
Driver support in 3.x series is more or less complete, however not all parts are merged to mainline kernel due to various reasons.

== merged code (already in mainline as of 3.4) ==
* board support (enables UART, I2C, SPI, RTC, MMC{1,2,3}, NAND, OTG, EHCI, gpio-keys, leds-gpio, keypad, touchscreen, regulators)
* sound: ALSA ASoC machine driver
* bq27500 fuel gauge
* LCD panel driver
* wl1251 [[WiFi]] driver glue (portions only in 2.6.37)
* charging (partial only, 2.6.37)
* wl1251 complete powerdown/suspend using runtime_pm (2.6.38).
* backlight driver (3.4)

this doesn't list various bugfix patches to get above working :)

== not merged ==
now in openpandora.org GIT (mainline merge status in brackets)
* nubs (aka vsense, needs rework for mainline)
* keypad fn handling (not allowed in mainline)
* PWM LEDs (needs rework)
* Overclocking support
* some charging bits (too many hacks)
* various random hacks that benefit pandora but may harm other devices, hence mainline incompatible

= openpandora.org git structure =
{{merge|Firmware governance}}
Support for various kernels is available in pandora-XX branches or tags, XX corresponds to last part of kernel version number. 2.6.27 is an exception, it's in pandora-27-omap1 branch.

Branches based on pre-release -rc kernels will be often rebased. This means you can't do 'git pull' on them, use 'git fetch; git reset --hard origin/pandora-XX' instead. '''Warning''': this will destroy all your changes (even if they are commited), backup them first!

= Configuring newer kernels =
When compiling mainline kernel, use
<source lang="bash">make omap2plus_defconfig</source>
for openpandora.org kernels you can use omap3_pandora_defconfig
<source lang="bash">make omap3_pandora_defconfig</source>
after either of those are run, you can tune the configuration for your needs:
<source lang="bash">make menuconfig</source>
Now you should be able to build a working kernel. More info available at [[Kernel build instructions]].

==Pandora Firmware Governance==

The Pandora device is an open ecology --

The official [[firmware]] is open source and open to patches from the public; to maintain high quality firmware releases a process needs to exist -- audit trails need to be kept to ensure licensing is clear, testing has to be ensured to keep quality high, and our standard practice for submission made clear so it is easy and swift to submit your work.

Help us sort it out :) This process itself is open source -- as the ecosystem expands our model will change with it; if you are seeing problems, then contact one of the maintainers, mailing list, or the community at large and
All of which are part of the [[Team]]

The firmware is all of the software that is supplied with a device, so does include the applications which are provided as standard. It is all open source (meaning that OpenPandora provides the source code, often as a requirement of the [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html GNU GPL]). A small quantity of the firmware is provided as binary files, which OpenPandora may not be at liberty to disclose the full details of. An example of closed source firmware is for the analogue nubs, which are shipped with small micro-controllers pre-programmed by the nub manufacturer. Only some of the hardware designs and occasional binary blobs like the [[WiFi]] driver are currently not open source; the rest of the firmware stack is open source (predominantly GPL with some LGPL).

== Replacing the Firmware (Un-bricking) ==

Rather than patch the firmware, the firmware may be replaced wholesale with a freshly downloaded firmware. This ought to be regarded as a last resort in the case of problems, there is almost certainly a simpler way to fix most problems.

The process for reinstalling the firmware is as follows: [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/53637-first-boot-its-asking-for-a-login-and-password/page__view__findpost__p__858053]
, otherwise firmware corruption might happen again.

In case of emergency, there is an older version
[http://notaz.gp2x.de/releases/pandora/pandora-firmware-2010-05-01-Zaxxon.zip here] (Version: 2010-05-01-Zaxxon)

== Debugging broken firmware ==
[[Boot setup]] help with info on this process.
If you have a problem booting the firmware, and want to investigate before just replacing (or need to try and rescue some data from the [[NAND]]) you can boot into a console by doing the following: Make a file named boot.txt in root of SD with this[http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54918-unbricking-my-pandora/page__view__findpost__p__885362]:
<pre>
setenv bootargs ubi.mtd=4 ubi.mtd=3 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs rw rootflags=bulk_read console=tty0 vram=6272K omapfb.vram=0:3000K init=/bin/bash
ubi part boot && ubifsmount boot && ubifsload 0x80300000 uImage && bootm 0x80300000 && boot
</pre>
then holding down the right shoulder button on boot and booting from the SD card. (It doesn't require an operating system on the SD card, but it will use the boot configuration specified there). This is a text mode boot to the shell, using the [[kernel]] from the [[NAND]].
This should provide a way of bypassing any broken startup scripts, adding in logging for a normal boot, etc. It does not start the full OS, just a basic shell.

== Reporting bugs ==

Please do make sure that you are using the latest official firmware and hotfix. You can find it in the [http://www.open-pandora.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=178&Itemid=32&lang=en official support section of the website]. Reports made against older versions might be invalid since the issues were already fixed.

If the bug does still exist in the latest released version, please follow these steps when reporting it in the [http://bugs.openpandora.org official bug tracker]. You will need to register an account in the tracker. Once you are logged into the account, just click on ''Add new task'' to see a form where you can provide the information required to assign and solve the bugs. Below is an explanation of what you should enter where.

== Stuff that belongs there ==

* Bugs that happen with the default operating system on the pandora.
* Things missing in the default operating system on the pandora.
* Bugs and issues with the codec pack.

== What does not belong in the official tracker ==

* Bugs with other .pnd files like eg [[emulators]], [[games]] or other applications that are not part of the main OS.
* Features missing in other progs.

== Issue attributes explained ==

Here is the list of things you should keep in mind and mention in your bug report or feature request to make sure that it can be solved. Please do also make sure to react on comments that are left in the report, since the people that feel responsible for solving the issues might need more information that only you can provide.

;Summary: This should be a really short summary of the issue at hand, as clean as possible. Something like eg ''ABC does not work'' is not good, better write ''ABC crashes when sounds are played''.

;Drop Down Boxes: This area on the left side is used to provide some general information that makes it easier for devs to assign the reports to the correct people for fixing things. They are often useful in fixing the report in the end, too.

;Task Type: Just select it from the drop down box. If you want to report a bug, make it ''Bug Report'', if it is a missing feature, select ''Feature Request''. You should only select ''To Do (Reminder)'' if you are one of the devs to leave a note for yourself.

;Category Core: Everything that belongs to the basic systems like the kernel and the drivers. The real core that lies beneath.

;Category Application: Meant for all the programs on top of the basis core. This eg. includes problems in minimenu, Pandora specific XFCE, pidgin, ... Basically you should ask yourself if your issue might be kernel/driver related, if it is not, select this one.

;Status: Can only be changed by bug tracker admins (aka "official pandora devs").

;Operating System: Select the "series" of the operating system on the pandora here. The first firmware series is called Zaxxon.

;Severity: How important do you estimate this bug/issue? It should only be marked ''critical'' if it is a real security breach or something breaking *everything*. Often the default ''low'' is fine, since the values can be adjusted later on by bug tracker admins.

;Priority: Can only be changed by bug tracker admins (aka "official pandora devs").

;Reported Version: Please select which version state your pandora has in the release that you selected under ''Operating System''. Basically list the latest hotfix that you installed.

;Due in Version: Can only be changed by bug tracker admins (aka "official pandora devs").

;Details: A neat, large field with lots of space for all the details that you can provide. Yes, in general a case of "the more, the better" applies here. Here is a list of things that you should mention in the report:

;Problem: Detailed description of the *exact* problem you see. Please do include some log output, if you have it available.

;Reproducibility: How often does the issue occur? Is it reproducible? If it is, please provide detailed steps to do so.

;Actual Results: What happened after you performed the steps you listed under "Reproducibility"?

;Expected Results: What should have happened?

;Additional Information: Please do list any additional information, like for example the *exact* version of your OS (or the application). This is especially important if you were not able to select the exact version in the '''Reported Version''' drop down field. If you have any log output or patches, please do attach those as files to the report. If the file size would be too big, just compress them.

== Syntax in the Flyspray issue tracker ==

=== Internal reference to other issues ===

To refer to another issue use the syntax <nowiki>FS#N</nowiki> where N is the issue number you want to refer to, i.e. <nowiki>FS#123</nowiki>.
The parser then automatically renders this as a link to the other issue (HTML href attribute), and shows the issue's title in the mouseover info (HTML title attribute).

==Submission Workflow==

The general workflow for submitting a patch is something like this:

# Clone the appropriate section of the GIT repository - GIT is http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
# Apply changes and have fun
# Document and pass test cases
# Contact the maintainer of the subdomain the patch falls within - by mailing list above, or perhaps by PM in the forums, or email; for example, post first to the mailing list. In a pinch for libpnd submissions talk to skeezix, or notaz regarding kernel changes. But talk to the mailing list first, to keep discussion logged and centralized; if a backup neds to step up, the post history will already be there, right?
# If the maintainer is unavailable, contact the backups as listed above; they will know how to contact the champion, or can make the submission call themselves.
# If the maintainer and backups are not available, contact EvilDragon as release maintainer

==Submission Standards==

Submission are welcome! Historically the firmware has been built by a very small team, but that [[team]] size limits the number of changes that can be managed and developed simultaneously. If you've the skills and motivation to help, feel free to join the fray!

Patches have a few requirements; failing these requirements will cause your patch to be overlooked!

* '''Clearly documented''' -- what is this patch for?
* '''Clearly tested''' -- a list of test cases and test results -- the onus is on the submitter to test and prove testing; the committers have limited time and many people talking to them
* '''Proper format''' -- unix line ending, not dos line endings :)
= Contributing =
Help is always welcome, usually in form of testing or writing patches. In most cases it's best to file a bug report or feature request in the [http://bugs.openpandora.org bug tracker] so that things don't get lost.

== Submitting patches ==
It's best to send formal GIT-generated patch so that you get proper credit for your work and to make applying the patch easier. You can also add 'Signed-off-by' line ('-s' on 'git commit' will do it for you), which has [http://elinux.org/Developer_Certificate_Of_Origin the same meaning as for mainline Linux].

So basic workflow would be:
<source lang="bash">
<make changes>
git config --global user.name "My Name"
git config --global user.email "myname@domain.com"
git add <changed files>
git commit
git format-patch -o /somewhere/ -1
</source>
Then create a new feature request in bugtracker and attach the generated file(s), or send them to the [[Firmware_governance#Mailing_list|mailing list]], or post them on the forums, whatever is more convenient to you.

== '''Updating''' SuperZaxxon ==

=== Updating graphics drivers ===
[http://pandoralive.info/?p=2303 guided tour de blog by eki]

=== Installing Angstrom packages ===
It is no longer possible to install applications from the [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo Angstrom distribution repository] they used to be slightly more compatible but we' stuck with old stuff and they're a moving target

Packages are now self hosted on a pandora ångstrøm repo, as a second option to the pnd repo.

Installation is aquired by issuing the following commands
<source lang="bash">
opkg list
opkg install <name of package>
</source>
from the terminal as super-user. Note that by default, this will install to the [[NAND]], and there is not much free space to install more than a few small packages. Filling up the NAND is bad, since it will prevent the system from working properly. Also note that there is no guarantee that packages from the angstrom repository will be compatible with the versions of other software included in the firmware. See Introduction to apps for more details about installing applications. These update processes should work equally well if you have booted from a copy of the Pandora OS on SD card.

== Community Codec Package - for Pandora OS, Release 2010-05 ==
Installation of non-free codecs is highly discouraged. Consider instead free counterparts like opus, ogg vorbis and Flac for audio. webM, ogg theora for video or equivalent.

Due to licensing issues, licensed codecs like MP3 or MPEG-Video can not be distributed freely. They are optionally available in the Codec Package.
The package will install Gnome-MPlayer as well as a lot of audio / video-plugins and enables NTFS-support.
To install it, simply download the .PND-Package and place it into either the /pandora/menu or /pandora/desktop - Folder on your SD-Card.
Simply start it and follow the on-screen instructions. You can remove the .PND-Package from the card once it has been installed.

; Legal Notice:
Patent and copyright laws operate differently depending on which country you are in. Please obtain legal advice if you are unsure whether a particular patent or restriction applies to a media format you wish to use in your country.

'''[http://openpandora.org/downloads/CodecPack.pnd Click here to download Community Codec Pack]'''

The Codec Package enables NTFS-Support and installs [http://pastebin.com/TyzWBi0X|these packages]

== Older versions of Ångstrom ==

The original Zaxxon firmware has been updated with a number of Hotfixes. Since then, a newer firmware called SuperZaxxon has been released.

'''Warning:''' If you do not have Zaxxon installed (boot screen says SuperZaxxon or something else), do not attempt to install any of these hofixes, doing so will break the system.

In general it's possible to apply hotfixes to any lower firmware versions without installing all previous hotfixes.

Hotfix 6
* [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/5652-hotfix-6-final-released/ Information and discussion] (2011-10-10)
* [http://www.openpandora.org/downloads/Zaxxon-HF6.zip Full flash update] (will delete all prior user settings; useful if you've screwed something up and are not sure of how to fix it)

=== Bugs and solutions ===

In general, the latest information about bugs will be on the official [http://bugs.openpandora.org/ bugtracker]; that is also the best place to go report a bug.

==== PNDs won't run ====

So you can start Xfce, but you can no longer run any programs or switch to Minimenu since you upgraded to HF6?

This can easily be solved without a reflash.

: [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&section=findpost&pid=98627 valhalla] This problem is because of version 1.0-r58.5 of the pandora-scripts package that includes some files that it should not have included and conflicts with the new version of pandora-libpnd. That version is installed at least in HF5rc2.

# Open a terminal in the location where you put your HF6 update PND. In the default file browser, you can do this by right-clicking in the folder where the PND is, and selecting "open terminal here". For example, if you put it on your desktop (<code>/pandora/desktop</code>), the text in the terminal to the left of your cursor should look something like <code>username-openpandora:/media/pandora/mmcblk0p1/pandora/desktop$</code>
# Type in <code>sudo mkdir /mnt/pnd</code> and press "enter". If it asks you for your password, type in what you use to log in to your Pandora, then press "enter".
# Type in <code>sudo mount -o loop HF6-Updater.pnd /mnt/pnd</code> and press "enter"
# Now we'll go to the packages directory in the PND and reinstall a couple of packages. Type in <code>cd /mnt/pnd/packages/other/</code> and press "enter"
# Type in <code>sudo opkg install pandora-libpnd_1.0-r56.5_armv7a.ipk</code> and press "enter"
# Type in <code>sudo opkg install pandora-skel_1.0-r9.5_omap3-pandora.ipk</code> and press "enter"
# To unmount the PND, type in <code>sudo umount /mnt/pnd</code> and press "enter". If it says it can't unmount it, just restart your Pandora.
# That's it, your Pandora should work again!

Ångström

2014-01-14T06:40:56Z

DerBesserwisser:

Ångström - Super Zaxxon is currently the official operating system for the pandora. Super Zaxxon is a version upgrade system with frequent system-wide small releases. Running from SD card is the recommended install method.
Compatibility is ensured as a basis of Super Zaxxon. Packages relying on their own environment are self retained within the .pnd format.
An evolutionary non-compatible customized Ångström build called .next is in development.

=='''SUPER ZAXXON'''==
=='''Installation''' prerequisites==
You need a pandora, and alternatively an SD card, the latter is preferred.

=== General Notes ===
* Remember that your Pandora will turn on as soon as a charger is connected. It's also not possible to completely power down a Pandora that's connected to an external power supply.
* Even while charging, a Pandora can be rebooted, either by software (for example, during the installation process below), or with the reboot hotkey: Hold the Pandora button on the keyboard, and flick the power switch to the right.
* Do not connect an external power supply while the battery is removed.

* '''When the firmware is (re-)installed, all personal files and settings stored on internal flash are DELETED (your PND applications and all data on your SD cards will not be touched). Your Pandora will revert to it's default settings and show the first boot wizard on bootup.'''

== '''Full''' fresh installation ==

=== To '''SD card''' (external) ===

#SD card formatted with the FAT32 filesystem (default on Windows). Extract the contents of the firmware .zip file to the root (top level) directory of that card.
# Make sure your Pandora is turned off (remove the battery in case it crashes or doesn't turn off by using normal means).

'''[http://openpandora.org/firmware/fullflash/SuperZaxxon155.zip Download firmware image of SuperZaxxon 1.55 (2013-07)]'''

# Insert the SD card into your Pandora's first slot (the one on the left, closer to headphone jack).
# Press and hold the right shoulder button ('R'), then turn the power on (if you removed the battery, insert it while holding 'R').
# A text menu should appear on screen. Switch to "boot from SD1" using the d-pad, and select this entry with either the 'B' or 'X' controller button.
# Wait for the flash process to finish. Connect a charger to be sure the battery doesn't run out while flashing. Press enter when asked to do so. Might take up to 15 minutes, be sure to wait for it to finish.
# If you use an external power supply, the device will reboot. Othwerwise, it should turn off - in this case press power (without holding 'R') to turn it back on.
# It should then start it's first boot process which might take up to 15 minutes. Be sure to wait for it to finish, otherwise firmware corruption might happen. The installation process will show some warnings, which can be safely ignored.
# When everything is set up, you will be guided through the first boot wizard.

=== To '''nand''' (internal) ===

Where Super Zaxxon boots from out of the box.

The UBIFS-Version can be used to flash the firmware to the Pandora.

Please only use it if you really need to. Reflashing CAN solve some problems, but it's not the magical tool that can fix everything. Before reflashing, you should always try to find another solution. You can get help at the [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/forum/8-support/ Support Section at the boards].

http://openpandora.org/firmware/images/Angstrom-pandora-xfce-image-nowifi-glibc-ipk-2010.4-test-20131220-omap3-pandora.ubifs.img
==='''Partial''' distribution upgrade===

Versions after SuperZaxxon 1.52 come with an online firmware update utility: Just select ''System'' -> ''Upgrade Pandora OS'' from the Pandora menu to download the latest system packages (needs working internet connection).

===To '''SD-card'''===
====GUI-driven SD installer tool====

Instead of installing the firmware manually on the SD card, you may use the '''GUI-driven tool sd_installer.pnd by David Boucher''', which automates the entire process.
http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=sd-install-2011-03-10

You only need the downloaded firmware tarball, the sd_installer.pnd and a suitable SD card.

=== To '''nand'''(internal) ===

You can extract the tar.bz2-version of the pandora-image onto an SD Card (EXT2) and directly boot off it.Be sure to include a kernel in /boot (unless you want to use the one on the NAND) and use a boot.txt / autoboot.txt to pass parameters to u-boot.This way, you can boot off your SD Card and meddle around with the OS without risking breaking NAND state.

== Updating SuperZaxxon ==

=== Updating graphics drivers ===
[http://pandoralive.info/?p=2303 guided tour de blog by eki]

=== Installing Angstrom packages ===
It is no longer possible to install applications from the [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo Angstrom distribution repository] Packages are now self hosted on a pandora ångstrøm repo, as a second option to the pnd repo.

Installation is aquired by issuing the following commands
<source lang="bash">
opkg list
opkg install <name of package>
</source>
from the terminal as super-user. Note that by default, this will install to the [[NAND]], and there is not much free space to install more than a few small packages. Filling up the NAND is bad, since it will prevent the system from working properly. Also note that there is no guarantee that packages from the angstrom repository will be compatible with the versions of other software included in the firmware. See Introduction to apps for more details about installing applications. These update processes should work equally well if you have booted from a copy of the Pandora OS on SD card.

== Community Codec Package - for Pandora OS, Release 2010-05 ==
Installation of non-free codecs is highly discouraged. Consider instead free counterparts like opus, ogg vorbis and Flac for audio. webM, ogg theora for video or equivalent.

Due to licensing issues, licensed codecs like MP3 or MPEG-Video can not be distributed freely. They are optionally available in the Codec Package.
The package will install Gnome-MPlayer as well as a lot of audio / video-plugins and enables NTFS-support.
To install it, simply download the .PND-Package and place it into either the /pandora/menu or /pandora/desktop - Folder on your SD-Card.
Simply start it and follow the on-screen instructions. You can remove the .PND-Package from the card once it has been installed.

Patent and copyright laws operate differently depending on which country you are in. Please obtain legal advice if you are unsure whether a particular patent or restriction applies to a media format you wish to use in your country.

''Building Yars' Revenge W.I.P.''

Query aTc or DJWillis until you get a response.

The following instructions will allow you to build the current .next image.
remember that your building the tip of the expermental tree and not everything even remotely works. Best for people who want to hack and help get it into shape. Do not expect anything remotely good enough to run on your Pandora for real

It is suggested that you use debian or a debian chroot.
In addidtion to the base debian install you will need
autoconf
automake
build-essential
coreutils
diffstat

<source lang="bash">
cd <INSTALLDIR>
git clone git://github.com/openpandora/openpandora-oe-environment.git
cd openpandora-oe-environment

</source>

This will install a number of git reposiries containing the build tools and recipes
bitbake
openembedded-core
meta-openembedded
meta-angstrom
meta-texasinstruments
meta-openpandora
* the basic hardware layer that works with OpenEmbedded and can be used in most OpenEmbedded distributions (Angstrom, Yocto, SHR etc.). That hardware layer also needs meta-texasinstruments (the scripts will bring that in, the Angstrom ones or ours).
meta-openpandora-vendor
* the vendor (i.e. openpandora) specific stuff, scripts, tweaks, image files, task files (i.e. what to install and order) and some recipes for things like libpnd.

From time to time you will want to update and fetch the changes to the base and openpandora recipes. e.g. those report on #openpandora by CIA-57
<source lang="bash">
. ~/.oe/environment-openpandora
cd <INSTALLDIR>/openpandora-oe-environment
./openpandora-setup.sh update
</source>

There are a number of recipes for build images in openpandora-oe-environment/metadata/meta-openpandora-vendor/recipes-core/images
pandora-core-image no desktop or X11
pandora-xfce-image XFCE desktop environment
systemd-pndwip-image
<source lang="bash">
. ~/.oe/environment-openpandora
cd <INSTALLDIR>/openpandora-oe-environment/build
bitbake systemd-core-image
</source>

This will download required sources and package dependancies, depending on the state of updatesm, build packages and produc an image.

The preferred method for sending patches for meta-openpandora and meta-openpandora-vendor is to create a fork in github apply you changes and send pull requests to OpenPandora Firmware mailing list: firmware-dev@openpandora.org
Subscribe at: http://openpandora.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firmware-dev

==Pandora Firmware Governance==

The Pandora device is an open ecology --

The official [[firmware]] is open source and open to patches from the public; to maintain high quality firmware releases a process needs to exist -- audit trails need to be kept to ensure licensing is clear, testing has to be ensured to keep quality high, and our standard practice for submission made clear so it is easy and swift to submit your work.

Help us sort it out :) This process itself is open source -- as the ecosystem expands our model will change with it; if you are seeing problems, then contact one of the maintainers, mailing list, or the community at large and
All of which are part of the [[Team]]

The firmware is all of the software that is supplied with a device, so does include the applications which are provided as standard. It is all open source (meaning that OpenPandora provides the source code, often as a requirement of the [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html GNU GPL]). A small quantity of the firmware is provided as binary files, which OpenPandora may not be at liberty to disclose the full details of. An example of closed source firmware is for the analogue nubs, which are shipped with small micro-controllers pre-programmed by the nub manufacturer. Only some of the hardware designs and occasional binary blobs like the [[WiFi]] driver are currently not open source; the rest of the firmware stack is open source (predominantly GPL with some LGPL).

== Replacing the Firmware (Un-bricking) ==

Rather than patch the firmware, the firmware may be replaced wholesale with a freshly downloaded firmware. This ought to be regarded as a last resort in the case of problems, there is almost certainly a simpler way to fix most problems.

The process for reinstalling the firmware is as follows: [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/53637-first-boot-its-asking-for-a-login-and-password/page__view__findpost__p__858053]
, otherwise firmware corruption might happen again.

In case of emergency, there is an older version
[http://notaz.gp2x.de/releases/pandora/pandora-firmware-2010-05-01-Zaxxon.zip here] (Version: 2010-05-01-Zaxxon)

== Debugging broken firmware ==
[[Boot setup]] help with info on this process.
If you have a problem booting the firmware, and want to investigate before just replacing (or need to try and rescue some data from the [[NAND]]) you can boot into a console by doing the following: Make a file named boot.txt in root of SD with this[http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54918-unbricking-my-pandora/page__view__findpost__p__885362]:
<pre>
setenv bootargs ubi.mtd=4 ubi.mtd=3 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs rw rootflags=bulk_read console=tty0 vram=6272K omapfb.vram=0:3000K init=/bin/bash
ubi part boot && ubifsmount boot && ubifsload 0x80300000 uImage && bootm 0x80300000 && boot
</pre>
then holding down the right shoulder button on boot and booting from the SD card. (It doesn't require an operating system on the SD card, but it will use the boot configuration specified there). This is a text mode boot to the shell, using the [[kernel]] from the [[NAND]].
This should provide a way of bypassing any broken startup scripts, adding in logging for a normal boot, etc. It does not start the full OS, just a basic shell.

== Reporting bugs ==

Please do make sure that you are using the latest official firmware and hotfix. You can find it in the [http://www.open-pandora.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=178&Itemid=32&lang=en official support section of the website]. Reports made against older versions might be invalid since the issues were already fixed.

If the bug does still exist in the latest released version, please follow these steps when reporting it in the [http://bugs.openpandora.org official bug tracker]. You will need to register an account in the tracker. Once you are logged into the account, just click on ''Add new task'' to see a form where you can provide the information required to assign and solve the bugs. Below is an explanation of what you should enter where.

== Stuff that belongs there ==

* Bugs that happen with the default operating system on the pandora.
* Things missing in the default operating system on the pandora.
* Bugs and issues with the codec pack.

== What does not belong in the official tracker ==

* Bugs with other .pnd files like eg [[emulators]], [[games]] or other applications that are not part of the main OS.
* Features missing in other progs.

== Issue attributes explained ==

Here is the list of things you should keep in mind and mention in your bug report or feature request to make sure that it can be solved. Please do also make sure to react on comments that are left in the report, since the people that feel responsible for solving the issues might need more information that only you can provide.

;Summary: This should be a really short summary of the issue at hand, as clean as possible. Something like eg ''ABC does not work'' is not good, better write ''ABC crashes when sounds are played''.

;Drop Down Boxes: This area on the left side is used to provide some general information that makes it easier for devs to assign the reports to the correct people for fixing things. They are often useful in fixing the report in the end, too.

;Task Type: Just select it from the drop down box. If you want to report a bug, make it ''Bug Report'', if it is a missing feature, select ''Feature Request''. You should only select ''To Do (Reminder)'' if you are one of the devs to leave a note for yourself.

;Category Core: Everything that belongs to the basic systems like the kernel and the drivers. The real core that lies beneath.

;Category Application: Meant for all the programs on top of the basis core. This eg. includes problems in minimenu, Pandora specific XFCE, pidgin, ... Basically you should ask yourself if your issue might be kernel/driver related, if it is not, select this one.

;Status: Can only be changed by bug tracker admins (aka "official pandora devs").

;Operating System: Select the "series" of the operating system on the pandora here. The first firmware series is called Zaxxon.

;Severity: How important do you estimate this bug/issue? It should only be marked ''critical'' if it is a real security breach or something breaking *everything*. Often the default ''low'' is fine, since the values can be adjusted later on by bug tracker admins.

;Priority: Can only be changed by bug tracker admins (aka "official pandora devs").

;Reported Version: Please select which version state your pandora has in the release that you selected under ''Operating System''. Basically list the latest hotfix that you installed.

;Due in Version: Can only be changed by bug tracker admins (aka "official pandora devs").

;Details: A neat, large field with lots of space for all the details that you can provide. Yes, in general a case of "the more, the better" applies here. Here is a list of things that you should mention in the report:

;Problem: Detailed description of the *exact* problem you see. Please do include some log output, if you have it available.

;Reproducibility: How often does the issue occur? Is it reproducible? If it is, please provide detailed steps to do so.

;Actual Results: What happened after you performed the steps you listed under "Reproducibility"?

;Expected Results: What should have happened?

;Additional Information: Please do list any additional information, like for example the *exact* version of your OS (or the application). This is especially important if you were not able to select the exact version in the '''Reported Version''' drop down field. If you have any log output or patches, please do attach those as files to the report. If the file size would be too big, just compress them.

== Syntax in the Flyspray issue tracker ==

=== Internal reference to other issues ===

To refer to another issue use the syntax <nowiki>FS#N</nowiki> where N is the issue number you want to refer to, i.e. <nowiki>FS#123</nowiki>.
The parser then automatically renders this as a link to the other issue (HTML href attribute), and shows the issue's title in the mouseover info (HTML title attribute).

==Submission Workflow==

The general workflow for submitting a patch is something like this:

# Clone the appropriate section of the GIT repository - GIT is http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
# Apply changes and have fun
# Document and pass test cases
# Contact the maintainer of the subdomain the patch falls within - by mailing list above, or perhaps by PM in the forums, or email; for example, post first to the mailing list. In a pinch for libpnd submissions talk to skeezix, or notaz regarding kernel changes. But talk to the mailing list first, to keep discussion logged and centralized; if a backup neds to step up, the post history will already be there, right?
# If the maintainer is unavailable, contact the backups as listed above; they will know how to contact the champion, or can make the submission call themselves.
# If the maintainer and backups are not available, contact EvilDragon as release maintainer

==Submission Standards==

Submission are welcome! Historically the firmware has been built by a very small team, but that [[team]] size limits the number of changes that can be managed and developed simultaneously. If you've the skills and motivation to help, feel free to join the fray!

Patches have a few requirements; failing these requirements will cause your patch to be overlooked!

* '''Clearly documented''' -- what is this patch for?
* '''Clearly tested''' -- a list of test cases and test results -- the onus is on the submitter to test and prove testing; the committers have limited time and many people talking to them
* '''Proper format''' -- unix line ending, not dos line endings :)
= Contributing =
Help is always welcome, usually in form of testing or writing patches. In most cases it's best to file a bug report or feature request in the [http://bugs.openpandora.org bug tracker] so that things don't get lost.

== Submitting patches ==
It's best to send formal GIT-generated patch so that you get proper credit for your work and to make applying the patch easier. You can also add 'Signed-off-by' line ('-s' on 'git commit' will do it for you), which has [http://elinux.org/Developer_Certificate_Of_Origin the same meaning as for mainline Linux].

So basic workflow would be:
<source lang="bash">

Then create a new feature request in bugtracker and attach the generated file(s), or send them to the [[Firmware_governance#Mailing_list|mailing list]], or post them on the forums, whatever is more convenient to you.

= Kernel status =
The first [[firmware]] release was based on a heavily patched linux-2.6.27-omap1 kernel. linux-omap used to be OMAP community kernel fork, nowadays its code was either merged to mainline or dropped. Further OMAP development continues on mainline kernels, linux-omap tree is mainly used to queue developed code to mainline.

Current firmware releases are based on 3.x kernel series.

= Status =
Driver support in 3.x series is more or less complete, however not all parts are merged to mainline kernel due to various reasons.

== merged code (already in mainline as of 3.4) ==
* board support (enables UART, I2C, SPI, RTC, MMC{1,2,3}, NAND, OTG, EHCI, gpio-keys, leds-gpio, keypad, touchscreen, regulators)
* sound: ALSA ASoC machine driver
* bq27500 fuel gauge
* LCD panel driver
* wl1251 [[WiFi]] driver glue (portions only in 2.6.37)
* charging (partial only, 2.6.37)
* wl1251 complete powerdown/suspend using runtime_pm (2.6.38).
* backlight driver (3.4)

this doesn't list various bugfix patches to get above working :)

== not merged ==
now in openpandora.org GIT (mainline merge status in brackets)
* nubs (aka vsense, needs rework for mainline)
* keypad fn handling (not allowed in mainline)
* PWM LEDs (needs rework)
* Overclocking support
* some charging bits (too many hacks)
* various random hacks that benefit pandora but may harm other devices, hence mainline incompatible

= openpandora.org git structure =
{{merge|Firmware governance}}
Support for various kernels is available in pandora-XX branches or tags, XX corresponds to last part of kernel version number. 2.6.27 is an exception, it's in pandora-27-omap1 branch.

Branches based on pre-release -rc kernels will be often rebased. This means you can't do 'git pull' on them, use 'git fetch; git reset --hard origin/pandora-XX' instead. '''Warning''': this will destroy all your changes (even if they are commited), backup them first!

= Configuring newer kernels =
When compiling mainline kernel, use
<source lang="bash">make omap2plus_defconfig</source>
for openpandora.org kernels you can use omap3_pandora_defconfig
<source lang="bash">make omap3_pandora_defconfig</source>
after either of those are run, you can tune the configuration for your needs:
<source lang="bash">make menuconfig</source>
Now you should be able to build a working kernel. More info available at [[Kernel build instructions]].

== Older versions of Ångstrom ==

In case you need them, you can download older firmware relases [http://openpandora.org/firmware/fullflash/ here].

http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/12490-superzaxxon-v54-final-has-been-released/
http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/10374-superzaxxon-v152-released/

SuperZaxxon1.50 can be upgraded to 1.52 without reinstallation by downloading and running the [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=szupdater1.openpandora.org Pandora SuperZaxxon updater PND].

Zaxxon Hotfixes

The original Zaxxon firmware has been updated with a number of Hotfixes. Since then, a newer firmware called SuperZaxxon has been released.

'''Warning:''' If you do not have Zaxxon installed (boot screen says SuperZaxxon or something else), do not attempt to install any of these hofixes, doing so will break the system.

In general it's possible to apply hotfixes to any lower firmware versions without installing all previous hotfixes.

Hotfix 6
* [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/5652-hotfix-6-final-released/ Information and discussion] (2011-10-10)
* [http://www.openpandora.org/downloads/Zaxxon-HF6.zip Full flash update] (will delete all prior user settings; useful if you've screwed something up and are not sure of how to fix it)

=== Bugs and solutions ===

In general, the latest information about bugs will be on the official [http://bugs.openpandora.org/ bugtracker]; that is also the best place to go report a bug.

==== PNDs won't run ====

So you can start Xfce, but you can no longer run any programs or switch to Minimenu since you upgraded to HF6?

This can easily be solved without a reflash.

: [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?app=forums&module=forums&section=findpost&pid=98627 valhalla] This problem is because of version 1.0-r58.5 of the pandora-scripts package that includes some files that it should not have included and conflicts with the new version of pandora-libpnd. That version is installed at least in HF5rc2.

# Open a terminal in the location where you put your HF6 update PND. In the default file browser, you can do this by right-clicking in the folder where the PND is, and selecting "open terminal here". For example, if you put it on your desktop (<code>/pandora/desktop</code>), the text in the terminal to the left of your cursor should look something like <code>username-openpandora:/media/pandora/mmcblk0p1/pandora/desktop$</code>
# Type in <code>sudo mkdir /mnt/pnd</code> and press "enter". If it asks you for your password, type in what you use to log in to your Pandora, then press "enter".
# Type in <code>sudo mount -o loop HF6-Updater.pnd /mnt/pnd</code> and press "enter"
# Now we'll go to the packages directory in the PND and reinstall a couple of packages. Type in <code>cd /mnt/pnd/packages/other/</code> and press "enter"
# Type in <code>sudo opkg install pandora-libpnd_1.0-r56.5_armv7a.ipk</code> and press "enter"
# Type in <code>sudo opkg install pandora-skel_1.0-r9.5_omap3-pandora.ipk</code> and press "enter"
# To unmount the PND, type in <code>sudo umount /mnt/pnd</code> and press "enter". If it says it can't unmount it, just restart your Pandora.
# That's it, your Pandora should work again!

DraStic Compatibility List

2013-02-19T07:14:11Z

DerBesserwisser:

DraStic is a Nintendo DS Emulator created by Exophase for ARM devices such as the OpenPandora.
Download: [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=DraStic]
Readme: [http://exophase.devzero.co.uk/drastic_readme.txt]
Forum Thread: [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/12038-emulator-drastic-nintendo-ds/page-1]

The current version on the Repo is '''1.2.0.0''', out since February 19th, 2013.
The current internal version is r0.2p.

==Compatibility==
''128MB+ games have issues on CC Pandoras because of limited RAM. 256Mb games may work on 512Mb systems such as the Rebirth edition of the 1Ghz Pandora. 512MB games are not expected to run on any system.''

Choose a playability color that reflects a game's best playability state. Also include if a game is Fullspeed, Playable, Incomplete, or Unplayable, and the clockspeed at which you ran it, for whichever Pandora version you tested. Please also indicate in the name of the Game whether the version is US/EU/JP, since compatibility may differ depending on regions. If available please indicate the game ID figure, too.

DraStic Compatibility List

2013-02-19T07:07:33Z

DerBesserwisser:

DraStic is a Nintendo DS Emulator created by Exophase for ARM devices such as the OpenPandora.
Download: [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=DraStic]
Readme: [http://exophase.devzero.co.uk/drastic_readme.txt]
Forum Thread: [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/12038-emulator-drastic-nintendo-ds/page-1]

The current version on the Repo is '''1.2.0.0''', out since February 19th, 2013.
The current internal version is r0.2p.

==Compatibility==
''128MB+ games have issues on CC Pandoras because of limited RAM. 256Mb games may work on 512Mb systems such as the Rebirth edition of the 1Ghz Pandora. 512MB games are not expected to run on any system.''

Choose a playability color that reflects a game's best playability state. Also include if a game is Fullspeed, Playable, Incomplete, or Unplayable, and the clockspeed at which you ran it, for whichever Pandora version you tested. Please also indicate in the name of the Game whether the version is US/EU/JP, since compatibility may differ depending on regions. If available please indicate the game ID figure, too.

|- style="background: #F3F781"

|- style="background: #F7BE81"

|- style="background: #F78181"
|Unplayable
|Games with a '''red''' background are unplayable. They either don't run at all, or don't get past the intro. Add any other oddities to notes.

DraStic Compatibility List

2013-02-19T07:06:40Z

DerBesserwisser:

DraStic is a Nintendo DS Emulator created by Exophase for ARM devices such as the OpenPandora.
Download: [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=DraStic]
Readme: [http://exophase.devzero.co.uk/drastic_readme.txt]
Forum Thread: [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/12038-emulator-drastic-nintendo-ds/page-1]

The current version on the Repo is '''1.2.0.0''', out since February 19th, 2013.
The current internal version is r0.2p.

==Compatibility==
''128MB+ games have issues on CC Pandoras because of limited RAM. 256Mb games may work on 512Mb systems such as the Rebirth edition of the 1Ghz Pandora. 512MB games are not expected to run on any system.''

Choose a playability color that reflects a game's best playability state. Also include if a game is Fullspeed, Playable, Incomplete, or Unplayable, and the clockspeed at which you ran it, for whichever Pandora version you tested. Please also indicate in the name of the Game whether the version is US/EU/JP, since compatibility may differ depending on regions. If available please indicate the game ID figure, too.

|- style="background: #F3F781"

|- style="background: #F78181"
|Unplayable
|Games with a '''red''' background are unplayable. They either don't run at all, or don't get past the intro. Add any other oddities to notes.

DraStic Compatibility List

2013-02-19T07:05:39Z

DerBesserwisser:

DraStic is a Nintendo DS Emulator created by Exophase for ARM devices such as the OpenPandora.
Download: [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=DraStic]
Readme: [http://exophase.devzero.co.uk/drastic_readme.txt]
Forum Thread: [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/12038-emulator-drastic-nintendo-ds/page-1]

The current version on the Repo is '''1.2.0.0''', out since February 19th, 2013.
The current internal version is r0.2p.

==Compatibility==
''128MB+ games have issues on CC Pandoras because of limited RAM. 256Mb games may work on 512Mb systems such as the Rebirth edition of the 1Ghz Pandora. 512MB games are not expected to run on any system.''

Choose a playability color that reflects a game's best playability state. Also include if a game is Fullspeed, Playable, Incomplete, or Unplayable, and the clockspeed at which you ran it, for whichever Pandora version you tested. Please also indicate in the name of the Game whether the version is US/EU/JP, since compatibility may differ depending on regions. If available please indicate the game ID figure, too.

DraStic Compatibility List

2013-02-19T07:03:32Z

DerBesserwisser:

DraStic is a Nintendo DS Emulator created by Exophase for ARM devices such as the OpenPandora.
Download: [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=DraStic]
Readme: [http://exophase.devzero.co.uk/drastic_readme.txt]
Forum Thread: [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/12038-emulator-drastic-nintendo-ds/page-1]

The current version on the Repo is '''1.2.0.0''', out since February 19th, 2013.
The current internal version is r0.2p.

==Compatibility==
''128MB+ games have issues on CC Pandoras because of limited RAM. 256Mb games may work on 512Mb systems such as the Rebirth edition of the 1Ghz Pandora. 512MB games are not expected to run on any system.''

Choose a playability color that reflects a game's best playability state. Also include if a game is Fullspeed, Playable, Incomplete, or Unplayable, and the clockspeed at which you ran it, for whichever Pandora version you tested. Please also indicate in the name of the Game whether the version is US/EU/JP, since compatibility may differ depending on regions. If available please indicate the game ID figure, too.

QEMU

2012-04-25T05:26:46Z

DerBesserwisser: /* Tipps, Tricks & Hints */

This is a page about the qemu port by IngoReis and mcobit (forum thread [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/7004-qemu-for-pandora-for-rebirth-competition/ here]).

=Documentation=

==PND download and installation==
===Downloading the PND===
Use your favorite browser to navigate to the following url: [repo...](Will be available after release)
and click the Download button.
Save the File somewhere on your PC. If you use your Pandora to download, you can save it to the directory mentioned in the next chapter directly.

===Installing the PND===
Put the downloaded file onto your sdcard into one of the following folders:
For Desktop: YOURSDCARD/pandora/desktop
For Menu: YOURSDCARD/pandora/menu
For both: YOURSDCARD/pandora/apps

If you do this on your PC, insert the sdcard into your Pandora afterwards.

If you use pndstore or some other tool to download and install pnds, please see their documentation for how to use them.
===Running the PND===
If the above steps worked properly, you should see the Qemu for Pandora icon in the above mentioned place(s) now.
(Double)click it to startup the GUI.
==Using the UI==
===Main===
====Assigning RAM to the machine====
Click on the textfield next to "RAM in MB" and enter the amount of RAM in MegaBytes, that the machine should use.
If you leave this field blank, the standard value of 128MB will be used.
====Launch the machine====
When you are happy with all options, you can click the "Launch" button to start the virtual machine.
====Exit the UI====
If you want to quit the gui, click on the "Cancel" button in the Main tab.

===Files and directories===
Please note that the paths must not contain spaces or qemu will not start. That is a problem, we don't have a solution for right now. Sorry.
====Mounting HDD images====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "HDD image..." to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the imagefile you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the imagename into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/qemuimages/freedos.qcow2)
====Mounting CD/DVD images====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "CDROM iso.." to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the iso (cdrom image) you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the isoname into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/qemuimages/freedos.iso)
====Mounting Floppy images====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "Floppy image" to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the image (floppy image) you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the isoname into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/qemuimages/freedos.img)
====Mounting a shared folder from your filesystem====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "Shared folder" to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the folder you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the isoname into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/shared)
This folder will be mounted as a fat16 folder, what means, that it cannot be bigger as 512MB!
===Image Tools===
====Creating HDD images using the UI====
*On the "Image Tools" tab, type in the name of your image in the first textfield without a fileextension. (e.g. test-image)
*Type the desired size of the new image into the second textfield. The size is in MegaBytes. So for a 1GB image type 1024.
*Click on the "Create Image" button.
Your new image will be created in the following directory: appdata/qemu/images/
===Other options===
====Video options====
*Use Bochs vga card instead of Cirrus Logic
Simulate a standard VGA card with Bochs VBE extensions instead of the default Cirrus Logic GD5446 PCI VGA
*Fullscreen
Start the virtual machine in fullscreenmode rather than in a window. You can switch between the modes by pressing alt+ctrl+f.
====Sound options====
*Disable sound
Disable sound by selection this option. (Qemu doesn't support to disable the sound completely, but with this option you will choose a soundcard, that is not supported by most operating systems)
*Adlib card emulation
Emulate an additional Adlib synthesizer card.
====CPU options====
*486 CPU instead of pentium
Check this option, if you want qemu to emulate a 486 PC instead of the default pentium PC.
====Network options====
*Disable Network
Check this, if you do not want qemu to emulate a networkcard.
====Recommend Drivers====
*Cirrus Logic GD5446 Win95(win95 only) Driver(This Driver is the best i found in Web)
http://www.treiberupdate.de/treiber-download/z-dltreiber/download_treiber_2099999.php?load=152416&dlidday=4rtfd44sdwer5de&extern=0&vendor=Cirrus_Logic&sys=Windows95

*here is a not tested 1 File automatic installation Driver for MSDOS generic CDROM Drives.
http://www.wollomatic.de/download/ptsdos/fxide158.exe

==Installing an OS into an image==
===Creating HDD images using your Desktop PC (Linux)===
===Creating HDD images using your Desktop PC (Windows)===

*Download Qemu Manager 7 for Windows.

*Install into Windows and run Qemu Manager as Admin.

*go to the Option Qemu Version Management and install Qemu 0.14.1
(You must do this,otherwise QemuManager will use Version0.11 by itself and this Version isnt Compatible)

*Now you can Use the "File/Create new Virtual Disk" Option

*Choose the max Image Size and i recommend the qcow2 Image Format.

Your new empty Image is now in your QemuManager Folder named "Images". It will be selectable when you create a new VM.

===Installing Microsoft DOS===
====On your Desktop PC====
====On the Pandora====
===Installing Microsoft Windows 3.1 / 3.11===
====On your Desktop PC====
====On the Pandora====
===Installing Microsoft Windows 95 on PC===

*Start Qemu Manager
*In menu, select VM -> New Virtual Machine
*Name it what you like (eg "win95")
*Ensure next two options are "Default VM Store" and "Standard x86/x64 PC"
*Set Operating System to Windows 95
*Important: Change Qemu version to 0.14.1
*Click Next
*Set RAM to 128MB (this is the max Qemu can use on Pandora)
*If you have already created a HDD image using the previous instructions on this page, select option to use an existing image and locate that file. Or,
*If you have not created a HDD image yet, select option to Create New. Set desired size and ensure Disk Image Type is Qcow2.
*Click Next
*Important: Ensure you change Virtual Machine Output to "QEMU Window".

You should now see your new VM in the main Qemu Manager window. Before you install the OS you need to do some basic setup. The Hardware tab should be selected by default. If not, click it. From here you change options by double clicking each item.

*Set Sound Card to "Soundblaster 16"
*Set Enable Networking to "No"
*Set Video Card to "Cirrus Logic GD5446"

Now for some performance tweaks.

*Click the "Advanced" tab.
*Set Disable HPET to "Yes"
*Set Disable ACPI Support to "Yes"

And finally, select the Win95 discs.

*Click the "Drives" tab.
*Set Floppy 0 to your (floppy) boot disk or disk image.
*Set CD ROM to your CD or ISO.

You should now be ready to start your install. Click the green "Play" button to launch the VM, and Windows Setup should start. At the end of the install process, Windows Setup will tell you to remove any disks. Go back to the Qemu Manager window "Drives" tab and clear both of your selections. Now allow Windows Setup to reboot the machine.

The following notes were added to this section but do not seem to apply to all installs. They could use some clarification and possibly less shouting.

*(THE MSDOS CDROM DRIVER HANGS A LITTLE BUT AFTER 1-2MINUTES WILL IT LOAD FINE)
*Setup Should start well(when it hangs in installation Progress,theres a alternativly way to install Win95/98)
*AFTER INTALLATION CHANGE IN HARDWAREMANAGER THE PLUG&PLAY BIOS MANUALY TO PCI-BUS. (HARDWARE AUTODETECTION WILL NOT WORK FULL THEN YOU MUST MAKE THIS AFTER INSTALLATION)

Happy installing/experimenting :)

===Installing Microsoft Windows 98===
====On your Desktop PC====
*start Qemu Manager

*create new VM

*Name it what you like(example win98)

*Choose x86PC , Operating system Windows98 and very very Important
choose Qemu Version 0.14.1 the standart 0.11.1 will not work

*select Ram 128MB(the max what Pandora Qemu can use)
and choose the size of your Harddisk

*Virtual Machine Output is important to set it to "QemuWindow"(not QemuManager)

*now you should use this Hardware Settings:
Soundcard=Yes

SoundHW=Soundblaster16

Networking=none (the Networking is not testet now with Win98,but it could work)

VideoCard=Cirrus GD5446

USBSupport=Yes

USBDevices=add USB Tablet with the + Symbol(this is for Pandora Touchscreen support)

*and under the Menu Advanced some Performance Tweaks:

Disable Hpet=YES

Disable ACPI Support=YES

*NOW WE CAN INSTALL WIN98 or WIN98SE:

*Switch to Drives and Choose as CDROM your CDROM Drive or your own Win98Iso

*start Qemu with the green Play Button

*start from CDROM and start install
(THE MSDOS CDROM DRIVER HANGS A LITTLE BUT AFTER 1-2MINUTES WILL IT LOAD FINE)

*THE TOUCHSCREEN SUPPORT WILL ONLY WORK WHEN YOU AFTER INTALLATION CHANGE IN HARDWAREMANAGER THE PLUG&PLAY BIOS MANUALY TO PCI-BUS.

*(HARDWARE AUTODETECTION WILL NOT WORK FULL THEN YOU MUST MAKE THIS AFTER INSTALLATION)

*Happy installing/experimenting :)

===alternativly Way to install Win95/98===

====On the PC====

*Break the installation Progress with F3 and you will be in MSDOS

*switch to a: and make your HD Image bootable with

sys c:

*switch to HDD and make a setup Directory with

md c:\setup

cd c:\setup

*now switch to your CD Drive

d:

cd win95 (or when you want to install win98,then "cd win98")

*and copy your Setup Files to your HDDImage

copy . c:.

*your setup Files should now copy to c:\setup

*after this boot your HDD Image without Floppy Image and without your Windows Iso

*you must be now in Dos and must type

cd setup

xmsmmgr

setup

*Now this is the Way who must install Windows perfectly

*happy experimenting/installing

====On the Pandora====

*same like PC

===Installing Microsoft Windows XP===
====On your Desktop PC====
same like Windows98 but not testet yet.

====On the Pandora====

===Installing Linux===
====On your Desktop PC====
====On the Pandora====
===Downloading and using ready-made FreeDOS and ReactOS images===

==Troubleshooting==
===Known problems===
We are working on them. If you have found a solution or can provide a patch, please pm mcobit at [http://boards.openpandora.org boards.openpandora.org]
* Paths to image or isofiles as well, as imagenames specified in the "Image Tool" MUST NOT contain any whitespaces.
* EMS Memory under Dos is a little Tricky to get work but it work. You must use in Config.sys the Entry "EMM386 M9" and behind Himem.sys must stand nothing,only Himem.sys
* Shared Folders: don't use shared folders as an "active" source: write support for shared folders is buggy, so don't run applications/games from shared folder, just copy its content on the virtual systems drive. A lot of games have problems writing to the shared folder

*under Windows,when a Game set 320x240 the Screen will stretched,but work,then try another Resolutions.

===Report a bug===
===What to do, if…===
* Windows cannot find the mounted CD Image??

Solution=Install a MS-Dos CD-Rom Driver in your Image and let it load before Windows starting.

* EMS Memory isnt working??

Solution=It works when you have in Config.sys:

Device=Himem.sys

Device=Emm386.exe M9

(or Devicehigh=)

* A Game/or System breaks and you are in PanQemu Startwindow again??

Its a Fullscreen Bug from Qemu

(Qemu for Pandora cannot handle Resolutions over 640x480 in Fullscreen Mode)

Solution=use Qemu in Windowed Mode(not in Fullscreen)and switch to 640x480,

then you can press ctrl+alt+f to switch to Fullscreen again(works well).
===Tipps, Tricks & Hints===
====General====
* If you happen to miss the [alt] and [ctrl] keys, look between the nubs
* Sometimes it can be necessary to change a virtual disc or floppy, to achieve this
** Press [ctrl] + [alt] + [2] to get to the command and monitoring console (of Qemu)
** Locate the virtual drive you want to change the image for by typing "info block", usually the CD-Drive is named ide1-cd0 and Floppy-Drive is named floppy0
** Eject the currently loaded image by entering "eject ide1-cd0" or "eject floppy0"
** Load the new image into the virtual drive with "change ide1-cd0 /path/to/your/image/file" or "change floppy0 /path/to/your/image/file"
** Press [ctrl] + [alt] + [1] to return to the standard output window

====MS-DOS 6 and above / alike====
* Keyboard
** if you can't enter ":" try pressing [shift] (or [left shoulder button]) + [Fn] + [;] or
** if you can't enter ":" and/or "\" one solution is to use the italien keyboard layout. just type "keyb it" on the commandline and press [enter] after that you can enter ":" with [Shift] + [.] and "\" with [Fn] + [H]
* CD-ROM Support
** To use cd images as CD-ROMS under MS-DOS 6 and above you need to do the following
** Get the Ms CD extension (mscdex.exe) from [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/123408/en here]
** You need a CD-ROM driver, there are several available, one that is known to work is "oakcdrom.sys"
** Copy the both on your virtual disk, the following bulletpoints assumes that you put them both into "c:\dos", if not change the pathnames according to your choice
** Put the following line in your config.sys : "DEVICEHIGH= C:\DOS\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001"
** Put the following line in your autoexec.bat: "LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /L:E"
** Some explanation to the above: the character string "MSCD001" is just id you can choose as you like, but it has to be identical in both files. The Parameter "L:E" associates the CD-ROM with the drive letter "E", this is optional.
* Mouse support
** Mouse needs a driver under MS-DOS environments.
** There are several around, a - memory wise - light alternative could be [http://cutemouse.sourceforge.net/ CuteMouse]
** There are several executable files in the archive you download (inside the bin folder). You need a file that begins with "ctm-", choose the file according to the language you prefer (e.g. "ctm-en.exe" who wan't it in english)
** If you choose the english version and put it directly into the root of your main virtual drive, simply put the line "LH C:\ctm-en.exe" in your autoexec.bat to load it on startup.
* Two pane file manager
** As using the commandline to move data from one point to another can be very cumbersome (at least if no xcopy is available) have a look at [http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/dn/ DOS Navigator] an open source Norton Commander clone

QEMU

2012-04-25T05:05:31Z

DerBesserwisser: /* MS-DOS 6 and above / alike */

This is a page about the qemu port by IngoReis and mcobit (forum thread [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/7004-qemu-for-pandora-for-rebirth-competition/ here]).

=Documentation=

==PND download and installation==
===Downloading the PND===
Use your favorite browser to navigate to the following url: [repo...](Will be available after release)
and click the Download button.
Save the File somewhere on your PC. If you use your Pandora to download, you can save it to the directory mentioned in the next chapter directly.

===Installing the PND===
Put the downloaded file onto your sdcard into one of the following folders:
For Desktop: YOURSDCARD/pandora/desktop
For Menu: YOURSDCARD/pandora/menu
For both: YOURSDCARD/pandora/apps

If you do this on your PC, insert the sdcard into your Pandora afterwards.

If you use pndstore or some other tool to download and install pnds, please see their documentation for how to use them.
===Running the PND===
If the above steps worked properly, you should see the Qemu for Pandora icon in the above mentioned place(s) now.
(Double)click it to startup the GUI.
==Using the UI==
===Main===
====Assigning RAM to the machine====
Click on the textfield next to "RAM in MB" and enter the amount of RAM in MegaBytes, that the machine should use.
If you leave this field blank, the standard value of 128MB will be used.
====Launch the machine====
When you are happy with all options, you can click the "Launch" button to start the virtual machine.
====Exit the UI====
If you want to quit the gui, click on the "Cancel" button in the Main tab.

===Files and directories===
Please note that the paths must not contain spaces or qemu will not start. That is a problem, we don't have a solution for right now. Sorry.
====Mounting HDD images====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "HDD image..." to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the imagefile you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the imagename into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/qemuimages/freedos.qcow2)
====Mounting CD/DVD images====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "CDROM iso.." to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the iso (cdrom image) you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the isoname into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/qemuimages/freedos.iso)
====Mounting Floppy images====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "Floppy image" to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the image (floppy image) you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the isoname into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/qemuimages/freedos.img)
====Mounting a shared folder from your filesystem====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "Shared folder" to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the folder you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the isoname into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/shared)
This folder will be mounted as a fat16 folder, what means, that it cannot be bigger as 512MB!
===Image Tools===
====Creating HDD images using the UI====
*On the "Image Tools" tab, type in the name of your image in the first textfield without a fileextension. (e.g. test-image)
*Type the desired size of the new image into the second textfield. The size is in MegaBytes. So for a 1GB image type 1024.
*Click on the "Create Image" button.
Your new image will be created in the following directory: appdata/qemu/images/
===Other options===
====Video options====
*Use Bochs vga card instead of Cirrus Logic
Simulate a standard VGA card with Bochs VBE extensions instead of the default Cirrus Logic GD5446 PCI VGA
*Fullscreen
Start the virtual machine in fullscreenmode rather than in a window. You can switch between the modes by pressing alt+ctrl+f.
====Sound options====

Emulate an additional Adlib synthesizer card.
====CPU options====
*486 CPU instead of pentium
Check this option, if you want qemu to emulate a 486 PC instead of the default pentium PC.

==Installing an OS into an image==
===Creating HDD images using your Desktop PC (Linux)===
===Creating HDD images using your Desktop PC (Windows)===

*Download Qemu Manager 7 for Windows.

*Install into Windows and run Qemu Manager as Admin.

*go to the Option Qemu Version Management and install Qemu 0.14.1
(You must do this,otherwise QemuManager will use Version0.11 by itself and this Version isnt Compatible)

*Now you can Use the "File/Create new Virtual Disk" Option

*Choose the max Image Size and i recommend the qcow2 Image Format.

Your new empty Image is now in your QemuManager Folder named "Images". It will be selectable when you create a new VM.

===Installing Microsoft DOS===
====On your Desktop PC====
====On the Pandora====
===Installing Microsoft Windows 3.1 / 3.11===
====On your Desktop PC====
====On the Pandora====
===Installing Microsoft Windows 95 on PC===

*Start Qemu Manager
*In menu, select VM -> New Virtual Machine
*Name it what you like (eg "win95")
*Ensure next two options are "Default VM Store" and "Standard x86/x64 PC"
*Set Operating System to Windows 95
*Important: Change Qemu version to 0.14.1
*Click Next
*Set RAM to 128MB (this is the max Qemu can use on Pandora)
*If you have already created a HDD image using the previous instructions on this page, select option to use an existing image and locate that file. Or,
*If you have not created a HDD image yet, select option to Create New. Set desired size and ensure Disk Image Type is Qcow2.
*Click Next
*Important: Ensure you change Virtual Machine Output to "QEMU Window".

You should now see your new VM in the main Qemu Manager window. Before you install the OS you need to do some basic setup. The Hardware tab should be selected by default. If not, click it. From here you change options by double clicking each item.

*Set Sound Card to "Soundblaster 16"
*Set Enable Networking to "No"
*Set Video Card to "Cirrus Logic GD5446"

Now for some performance tweaks.

*Click the "Advanced" tab.
*Set Disable HPET to "Yes"
*Set Disable ACPI Support to "Yes"

And finally, select the Win95 discs.

*Click the "Drives" tab.
*Set Floppy 0 to your (floppy) boot disk or disk image.
*Set CD ROM to your CD or ISO.

You should now be ready to start your install. Click the green "Play" button to launch the VM, and Windows Setup should start. At the end of the install process, Windows Setup will tell you to remove any disks. Go back to the Qemu Manager window "Drives" tab and clear both of your selections. Now allow Windows Setup to reboot the machine.

The following notes were added to this section but do not seem to apply to all installs. They could use some clarification and possibly less shouting.

*(THE MSDOS CDROM DRIVER HANGS A LITTLE BUT AFTER 1-2MINUTES WILL IT LOAD FINE)
*Setup Should start well(when it hangs in installation Progress,theres a alternativly way to install Win95/98)
*AFTER INTALLATION CHANGE IN HARDWAREMANAGER THE PLUG&PLAY BIOS MANUALY TO PCI-BUS. (HARDWARE AUTODETECTION WILL NOT WORK FULL THEN YOU MUST MAKE THIS AFTER INSTALLATION)

Happy installing/experimenting :)

===Installing Microsoft Windows 98===
====On your Desktop PC====
*start Qemu Manager

*create new VM

*Name it what you like(example win98)

*Choose x86PC , Operating system Windows98 and very very Important
choose Qemu Version 0.14.1 the standart 0.11.1 will not work

*select Ram 128MB(the max what Pandora Qemu can use)
and choose the size of your Harddisk

*Virtual Machine Output is important to set it to "QemuWindow"(not QemuManager)

*now you should use this Hardware Settings:
Soundcard=Yes

SoundHW=Soundblaster16

Networking=none (the Networking is not testet now with Win98,but it could work)

VideoCard=Cirrus GD5446

USBSupport=Yes

USBDevices=add USB Tablet with the + Symbol(this is for Pandora Touchscreen support)

*and under the Menu Advanced some Performance Tweaks:

Disable Hpet=YES

Disable ACPI Support=YES

*NOW WE CAN INSTALL WIN98 or WIN98SE:

*Switch to Drives and Choose as CDROM your CDROM Drive or your own Win98Iso

*start Qemu with the green Play Button

*start from CDROM and start install
(THE MSDOS CDROM DRIVER HANGS A LITTLE BUT AFTER 1-2MINUTES WILL IT LOAD FINE)

*THE TOUCHSCREEN SUPPORT WILL ONLY WORK WHEN YOU AFTER INTALLATION CHANGE IN HARDWAREMANAGER THE PLUG&PLAY BIOS MANUALY TO PCI-BUS.

*(HARDWARE AUTODETECTION WILL NOT WORK FULL THEN YOU MUST MAKE THIS AFTER INSTALLATION)

*Happy installing/experimenting :)

===alternativly Way to install Win95/98===

====On the PC====

*Break the installation Progress with F3 and you will be in MSDOS

*switch to a: and make your HD Image bootable with

sys c:

*switch to HDD and make a setup Directory with

md c:\setup

cd c:\setup

*now switch to your CD Drive

d:

cd win95 (or when you want to install win98,then "cd win98")

*and copy your Setup Files to your HDDImage

copy . c:.

*your setup Files should now copy to c:\setup

*after this boot your HDD Image without Floppy Image and without your Windows Iso

*you must be now in Dos and must type

cd setup

xmsmmgr

setup

*Now this is the Way who must install Windows perfectly

*happy experimenting/installing

====On the Pandora====

*same like PC

===Installing Microsoft Windows XP===
====On your Desktop PC====
same like Windows98 but not testet yet.

====On the Pandora====

===Installing Linux===

===Downloading and using ready-made FreeDOS and ReactOS images===

==Troubleshooting==
===Known problems===
We are working on them. If you have found a solution or can provide a patch, please pm mcobit at [http://boards.openpandora.org boards.openpandora.org]
* Paths to image or isofiles as well, as imagenames specified in the "Image Tool" MUST NOT contain any whitespaces.
* EMS Memory under Dos is a little Tricky to get work but it work. You must use in Config.sys the Entry "EMM386 M9" and behind Himem.sys must stand nothing,only Himem.sys
* Shared Folders: don't use shared folders as an "active" source: write support for shared folders is buggy, so don't run applications/games from shared folder, just copy its content on the virtual systems drive. A lot of games have problems writing to the shared folder

*under Windows,when a Game set 320x240 the Screen will stretched,but work,then try another Resolutions.

===Report a bug===
===What to do, if…===
* Windows cannot find the mounted CD Image??

Solution=Install a MS-Dos CD-Rom Driver in your Image and let it load before Windows starting.

* EMS Memory isnt working??

Solution=It works when you have in Config.sys:

Device=Himem.sys

Device=Emm386.exe M9

(or Devicehigh=)

* A Game/or System breaks and you are in PanQemu Startwindow again??

Its a Fullscreen Bug from Qemu

(Qemu for Pandora cannot handle Resolutions over 640x480 in Fullscreen Mode)

Solution=use Qemu in Windowed Mode(not in Fullscreen)and switch to 640x480,

then you can press ctrl+alt+f to switch to Fullscreen again(works well).
===Tipps, Tricks & Hints===
====General====
* If you happen to miss the [alt] and [ctrl] keys, look between the nubs

====MS-DOS 6 and above / alike====
* Keyboard
** if you can't enter ":" try pressing [shift] (or [left shoulder button]) + [Fn] + [;] or
** if you can't enter ":" and/or "\" one solution is to use the italien keyboard layout. just type "keyb it" on the commandline and press [enter] after that you can enter ":" with [Shift] + [.] and "\" with [Fn] + [H]
* CD-ROM Support
** To use cd images as CD-ROMS under MS-DOS 6 and above you need to do the following
** Get the Ms CD extension (mscdex.exe) from [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/123408/en here]
** You need a CD-ROM driver, there are several available, one that is known to work is "oakcdrom.sys"
** Copy the both on your virtual disk, the following bulletpoints assumes that you put them both into "c:\dos", if not change the pathnames according to your choice
** Put the following line in your config.sys : "DEVICEHIGH= C:\DOS\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001"
** Put the following line in your autoexec.bat: "LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /L:E"
** Some explanation to the above: the character string "MSCD001" is just id you can choose as you like, but it has to be identical in both files. The Parameter "L:E" associates the CD-ROM with the drive letter "E", this is optional.
* Mouse support
** Mouse needs a driver under MS-DOS environments.
** There are several around, a - memory wise - light alternative could be [http://cutemouse.sourceforge.net/ CuteMouse]
** There are several executable files in the archive you download (inside the bin folder). You need a file that begins with "ctm-", choose the file according to the language you prefer (e.g. "ctm-en.exe" who wan't it in english)
** If you choose the english version and put it directly into the root of your main virtual drive, simply put the line "LH C:\ctm-en.exe" in your autoexec.bat to load it on startup.
* Two pane file manager
** As using the commandline to move data from one point to another can be very cumbersome (at least if no xcopy is available) have a look at [http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/dn/ DOS Navigator] an open source Norton Commander clone

This is a page about the qemu port by IngoReis and mcobit (forum thread [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/7004-qemu-for-pandora-for-rebirth-competition/ here]).

=Documentation=

==PND download and installation==
===Downloading the PND===
Use your favorite browser to navigate to the following url: [repo...](Will be available after release)
and click the Download button.
Save the File somewhere on your PC. If you use your Pandora to download, you can save it to the directory mentioned in the next chapter directly.

===Installing the PND===
Put the downloaded file onto your sdcard into one of the following folders:
For Desktop: YOURSDCARD/pandora/desktop
For Menu: YOURSDCARD/pandora/menu
For both: YOURSDCARD/pandora/apps

If you do this on your PC, insert the sdcard into your Pandora afterwards.

If you use pndstore or some other tool to download and install pnds, please see their documentation for how to use them.
===Running the PND===
If the above steps worked properly, you should see the Qemu for Pandora icon in the above mentioned place(s) now.
(Double)click it to startup the GUI.
==Using the UI==
===Main===
====Assigning RAM to the machine====
Click on the textfield next to "RAM in MB" and enter the amount of RAM in MegaBytes, that the machine should use.
If you leave this field blank, the standard value of 128MB will be used.
====Launch the machine====
When you are happy with all options, you can click the "Launch" button to start the virtual machine.
====Exit the UI====
If you want to quit the gui, click on the "Cancel" button in the Main tab.

===Files and directories===
Please note that the paths must not contain spaces or qemu will not start. That is a problem, we don't have a solution for right now. Sorry.
====Mounting HDD images====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "HDD image..." to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the imagefile you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the imagename into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/qemuimages/freedos.qcow2)
====Mounting CD/DVD images====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "CDROM iso.." to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the iso (cdrom image) you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the isoname into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/qemuimages/freedos.iso)
====Mounting Floppy images====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "Floppy image" to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the image (floppy image) you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the isoname into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/qemuimages/freedos.img)
====Mounting a shared folder from your filesystem====
Click on the icon with the folder next to "Shared folder" to browse your filesystem. Navigate to the folder you want to load and select it by doubleclicking it or mark it with a single click and press "open".
The help-button will provide some hints on how to do that as well.
It is also possible to enter the fullpath including the isoname into the box directly. (e.g. /media/PATHTOYOURSD/shared)
This folder will be mounted as a fat16 folder, what means, that it cannot be bigger as 512MB!
===Image Tools===
====Creating HDD images using the UI====
*On the "Image Tools" tab, type in the name of your image in the first textfield without a fileextension. (e.g. test-image)
*Type the desired size of the new image into the second textfield. The size is in MegaBytes. So for a 1GB image type 1024.
*Click on the "Create Image" button.
Your new image will be created in the following directory: appdata/qemu/images/
===Other options===
====Video options====
*Use Bochs vga card instead of Cirrus Logic
Simulate a standard VGA card with Bochs VBE extensions instead of the default Cirrus Logic GD5446 PCI VGA
*Fullscreen
Start the virtual machine in fullscreenmode rather than in a window. You can switch between the modes by pressing alt+ctrl+f.
====Sound options====
*Disable sound
Disable sound by selection this option. (Qemu doesn't support to disable the sound completely, but with this option you will choose a soundcard, that is not supported by most operating systems)
*Adlib card emulation
Emulate an additional Adlib synthesizer card.
====CPU options====
*486 CPU instead of pentium
Check this option, if you want qemu to emulate a 486 PC instead of the default pentium PC.
====Network options====
*Disable Network
Check this, if you do not want qemu to emulate a networkcard.
====Recommend Drivers====
*Cirrus Logic GD5446 Win95(win95 only) Driver(This Driver is the best i found in Web)

==Installing an OS into an image==
===Creating HDD images using your Desktop PC (Linux)===
===Creating HDD images using your Desktop PC (Windows)===

*Download Qemu Manager 7 for Windows.

*Install into Windows and run Qemu Manager as Admin.

*go to the Option Qemu Version Management and install Qemu 0.14.1
(You must do this,otherwise QemuManager will use Version0.11 by itself and this Version isnt Compatible)

*Now you can Use the "File/Create new Virtual Disk" Option

*Choose the max Image Size and i recommend the qcow2 Image Format.

Your new empty Image is now in your QemuManager Folder named "Images". It will be selectable when you create a new VM.

===Installing Microsoft DOS===
====On your Desktop PC====
====On the Pandora====
===Installing Microsoft Windows 3.1 / 3.11===
====On your Desktop PC====
====On the Pandora====
===Installing Microsoft Windows 95 on PC===

*Start Qemu Manager
*In menu, select VM -> New Virtual Machine
*Name it what you like (eg "win95")
*Ensure next two options are "Default VM Store" and "Standard x86/x64 PC"
*Set Operating System to Windows 95
*Important: Change Qemu version to 0.14.1
*Click Next
*Set RAM to 128MB (this is the max Qemu can use on Pandora)
*If you have already created a HDD image using the previous instructions on this page, select option to use an existing image and locate that file. Or,
*If you have not created a HDD image yet, select option to Create New. Set desired size and ensure Disk Image Type is Qcow2.
*Click Next
*Important: Ensure you change Virtual Machine Output to "QEMU Window".

You should now see your new VM in the main Qemu Manager window. Before you install the OS you need to do some basic setup. The Hardware tab should be selected by default. If not, click it. From here you change options by double clicking each item.

*Set Sound Card to "Soundblaster 16"
*Set Enable Networking to "No"
*Set Video Card to "Cirrus Logic GD5446"

Now for some performance tweaks.

*Click the "Advanced" tab.
*Set Disable HPET to "Yes"
*Set Disable ACPI Support to "Yes"

And finally, select the Win95 discs.

*Click the "Drives" tab.
*Set Floppy 0 to your (floppy) boot disk or disk image.
*Set CD ROM to your CD or ISO.

You should now be ready to start your install. Click the green "Play" button to launch the VM, and Windows Setup should start. At the end of the install process, Windows Setup will tell you to remove any disks. Go back to the Qemu Manager window "Drives" tab and clear both of your selections. Now allow Windows Setup to reboot the machine.

The following notes were added to this section but do not seem to apply to all installs. They could use some clarification and possibly less shouting.

*(THE MSDOS CDROM DRIVER HANGS A LITTLE BUT AFTER 1-2MINUTES WILL IT LOAD FINE)
*Setup Should start well(when it hangs in installation Progress,theres a alternativly way to install Win95/98)
*AFTER INTALLATION CHANGE IN HARDWAREMANAGER THE PLUG&PLAY BIOS MANUALY TO PCI-BUS. (HARDWARE AUTODETECTION WILL NOT WORK FULL THEN YOU MUST MAKE THIS AFTER INSTALLATION)

Happy installing/experimenting :)

===Installing Microsoft Windows 98===
====On your Desktop PC====
*start Qemu Manager

*create new VM

*Name it what you like(example win98)

*Choose x86PC , Operating system Windows98 and very very Important
choose Qemu Version 0.14.1 the standart 0.11.1 will not work

*select Ram 128MB(the max what Pandora Qemu can use)
and choose the size of your Harddisk

*Virtual Machine Output is important to set it to "QemuWindow"(not QemuManager)

*now you should use this Hardware Settings:
Soundcard=Yes

SoundHW=Soundblaster16

Networking=none (the Networking is not testet now with Win98,but it could work)

VideoCard=Cirrus GD5446

USBSupport=Yes

USBDevices=add USB Tablet with the + Symbol(this is for Pandora Touchscreen support)

*and under the Menu Advanced some Performance Tweaks:

Disable Hpet=YES

Disable ACPI Support=YES

*NOW WE CAN INSTALL WIN98 or WIN98SE:

*Switch to Drives and Choose as CDROM your CDROM Drive or your own Win98Iso

*start Qemu with the green Play Button

*start from CDROM and start install
(THE MSDOS CDROM DRIVER HANGS A LITTLE BUT AFTER 1-2MINUTES WILL IT LOAD FINE)

*THE TOUCHSCREEN SUPPORT WILL ONLY WORK WHEN YOU AFTER INTALLATION CHANGE IN HARDWAREMANAGER THE PLUG&PLAY BIOS MANUALY TO PCI-BUS.

*(HARDWARE AUTODETECTION WILL NOT WORK FULL THEN YOU MUST MAKE THIS AFTER INSTALLATION)

*Happy installing/experimenting :)

===alternativly Way to install Win95/98===

====On the PC====

*Break the installation Progress with F3 and you will be in MSDOS

*switch to a: and make your HD Image bootable with

sys c:

*switch to HDD and make a setup Directory with

md c:\setup

cd c:\setup

*now switch to your CD Drive

d:

cd win95 (or when you want to install win98,then "cd win98")

*and copy your Setup Files to your HDDImage

copy . c:.

*your setup Files should now copy to c:\setup

*after this boot your HDD Image without Floppy Image and without your Windows Iso

*you must be now in Dos and must type

cd setup

xmsmmgr

setup

*Now this is the Way who must install Windows perfectly

*happy experimenting/installing

====On the Pandora====

*same like PC

===Installing Microsoft Windows XP===
====On your Desktop PC====
same like Windows98 but not testet yet.

====On the Pandora====

===Installing Linux===
====On your Desktop PC====
====On the Pandora====
===Downloading and using ready-made FreeDOS and ReactOS images===

==Troubleshooting==
===Known problems===
We are working on them. If you have found a solution or can provide a patch, please pm mcobit at [http://boards.openpandora.org boards.openpandora.org]
* Paths to image or isofiles as well, as imagenames specified in the "Image Tool" MUST NOT contain any whitespaces.
* EMS Memory under Dos is a little Tricky to get work but it work. You must use in Config.sys the Entry "EMM386 M9" and behind Himem.sys must stand nothing,only Himem.sys
* Shared Folders: don't use shared folders as an "active" source: write support for shared folders is buggy, so don't run applications/games from shared folder, just copy its content on the virtual systems drive. A lot of games have problems writing to the shared folder

*under Windows,when a Game set 320x240 the Screen will stretched,but work,then try another Resolutions.

===Report a bug===
===What to do, if…===
* Windows cannot find the mounted CD Image??

Solution=Install a MS-Dos CD-Rom Driver in your Image and let it load before Windows starting.

* EMS Memory isnt working??

Solution=It works when you have in Config.sys:

Device=Himem.sys

Device=Emm386.exe M9

(or Devicehigh=)

* A Game/or System breaks and you are in PanQemu Startwindow again??

Its a Fullscreen Bug from Qemu

(Qemu for Pandora cannot handle Resolutions over 640x480 in Fullscreen Mode)

Solution=use Qemu in Windowed Mode(not in Fullscreen)and switch to 640x480,

then you can press ctrl+alt+f to switch to Fullscreen again(works well).
===Tipps, Tricks & Hints===
====General====
* If you happen to miss the [alt] and [ctrl] keys, look between the nubs

====MS-DOS 6 and above / alike====
* Keyboard
** if you can't enter ":" try pressing [shift] + [Fn] + [;] or
** if you can't enter ":" and/or "\" one solution is to use the italien keyboard layout. just type "keyb it" on the commandline and press [enter] after that you can enter ":" with [Shift] + [.] and "\" with [Fn] + [H]
* CD-ROM Support
** To use cd images as CD-ROMS under MS-DOS 6 and above you need to do the following
** Get the Ms CD extension (mscdex.exe) from [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/123408/en here]
** You need a CD-ROM driver, there are several available, one that is known to work is "oakcdrom.sys"
** Copy the both on your virtual disk, the following bulletpoints assumes that you put them both into "c:\dos", if not change the pathnames according to your choice
** Put the following line in your config.sys : "DEVICEHIGH= C:\DOS\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD001"
** Put the following line in your autoexec.bat: "LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /L:E"
** Some explanation to the above: the character string "MSCD001" is just id you can choose as you like, but it has to be identical in both files. The Parameter "L:E" associates the CD-ROM with the drive letter "E", this is optional.
* Mouse support
** Mouse needs a driver under MS-DOS environments.
** There are several around, a - memory wise - light alternative could be [http://cutemouse.sourceforge.net/ CuteMouse]
** There are several executable files in the archive you download (inside the bin folder). You need a file that begins with "ctm-", choose the file according to the language you prefer (e.g. "ctm-en.exe" who wan't it in english)
** If you choose the english version and put it directly into the root of your main virtual drive, simply put the line "LH C:\ctm-en.exe" in your autoexec.bat to load it on startup.
* Two pane file manager
** As using the commandline to move data from one point to another can be very cumbersome (at least if no xcopy is available) have a look at [http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/dn/ DOS Navigator] an open source Norton Commander clone
