[[Image:Pandkey.png|thumb]]

In the months before the first preorders were taken, there was much discussion and community voting about the best layout. [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/43762-pandora-keyboard-layout/ This] was one of the final votes. The final layout was different from either one of the two most popular community proposals, but incorporated some of the suggestions such as having a "Pandora" button.

Many desirable applications require a keyboard,general consensus was that an on-screen keyboard wasn't good enough. For computing mode, the game controls are used for mouse, cursor and control keys.

Some classic systems such as the Atari and C64, which had keyboards, are far more comfortably emulated on a device with a keyboard.

==Hotkeys==
'''alt+ctrl+ up / down''' | switches between virtual desktops. (if you put them in a single row in the widget you can use ← →) 
'''powerbutton slidelock left''' | locks keyboard nubs L and R shoulderbuttons 
'''pandorabutton + start''' | brings up a dialogue to kill processes 
'''Fn-L''' | Toggles TV-out on/off

==Keycodes==
This table might be useful if you're trying to map keys in some program, or writing a program:
{| class="wikitable"

==Remapping keys on the keyboard==
First, an apology - I'm writing this without knowing how to remap the keys on the [[keyboard]], so this is not really a tutorial. It is currently just a collection point for information on the subject.

===Reference===
Forum Threads
* [[http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/55124-remapping-the-mouse-buttons-etc/ Remapping The Mouse Buttons, Etc?]]
* [[http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54077-changing-the-function-of-buttoms/ Changing The Function Of Buttoms]]
* [[http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54324-remap-gaming-buttons-within-xfce Remap Gaming Buttons Within Xfce]]

The os should allow the standard keypad and modifier keys to be defined to generate any key. So if you want shift '1' to be anything other than 'section', it is possible. somehow :(

===Linking events to Keys===
There is a Pandora event map daemon, which reacts to the lid close, Pandora button and power button.
It can be configured using the <pre>/etc/pandora/conf/eventmap</pre> file. How to reference additional special keys is TBD. A thread showing an example is [[http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54944-xfce-style-changing-with-brightness-buttons-hack/ here]]
It is also possible to configure xfce to capture events (forum thread is not locatable today)

===Using shoulder buttons for mouse===
{{hint|Seems only to be reported working permanently on HF4 but see NOTE below}}
As described in this [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/55124-remapping-the-mouse-buttons-etc/page__view__findpost__p__896576 post]
# Find the keycodes which you want to modify. Run '''xev''' (this needs to be installed from angstrom repo) from the terminal, and record the numbers.
# Edit the '''.pndXmodmap''' file in your home directory, modify or add (in the correct numerical order for ease) lines like this (for the shoulder buttons)
<source lang="bash">
keycode 62 = Pointer_Button1 NoSymbol Pointer_Button1
keycode 105 = Pointer_Button3 NoSymbol Pointer_Button3
</source>
# If you want to use the 'a' and 'b' buttons, the codes are 110 and 115 respectively.
# As a test, open the XFCE Accessibility settings and enable mouse keys.
# To make this permanent, download a compiled version of [http://urjaman.dy.fi/xkbset xkbset], copy to /usr/bin and chmod a+x /usr/bin/xkbset
# Create a script (file) with this as content
<source lang="bash">#!/bin/sh
xkbset m
xkbset exp =m</source>
# Now open a terminal where the file is saved, and give it executable permissions:
#:<source lang="bash">chmod +x nameofyourfile.sh</source>
#Now install it:
#:<source lang="bash">sudo cp nameofyourfile.sh /usr/bin/nameofyourfile</source>
# Add this script to XFCE autostarted stuff (Session and Startup->Application Autostart)
NOTE
# For HF5 you only need add these two commands to .xinitrc (located in your home directory)
<pre>xkbset m
xkbset exp m</pre>
note the missing =(equals) sign

===Swapping Caps Lock and Tab===
As a command line junkie, I was pretty frustrated with where Tab is. I decided to remap it to where Caps Lock is (Fn + Shift). I added the following to .pndXmodmap (in your home directory):
<pre>keysym Tab = Caps_Lock
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keycode 66 = Tab NoSymbol Tab
add Lock = Caps_Lock</pre>
After you add this, just run "xmodmap ~/.pndXmodmap" to reload the keymappings

== Keyboard layout changer tool ==

The '''keyboard layout changer''' provides a means to easily change keyboard layout. Possible uses are for typing in a different language on your Pandora, for using an external keyboard, or simply for making small key modifications.

=Usage guide=
#Download the PND to your Pandora from either [http://stuffs.slaeshjag.org/pnd/kblayout.pnd Slaeshjag's site] or from the [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=change-keymap-0.1-slaeshjag Repo] (see [[User_manual#Installing_a_PND_file_.28an_application.29|here]] for instructions on where to place PNDs)
#Run the PND; it's called "Keyboard Layout" and is in the "Settings" category
#You will now see a choice of keyboard layouts. Choose one, and your layout will change! (if the program doesn't run, find the <code>/tmp/pndrun_kblayout.out</code> file and post its contents in the [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/2428-keyboard-layout-changer/ official forum thread], so that the author can see what went wrong)

==Keyboard layouts==

[http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=change-keymap-0.1-slaeshjag Keyboard layout] is an app by slashjag which helps you change layout in a graphical interface.

=== Make your own ===

*Go to the <code>/media/yourSDcard/pandora/appdata/kblayout/keymaps</code> directory. Inside, you will see a bunch of files. Open any one with a text editor, and you'll see something like this:

./setxkbmap -layout us
xmodmap ~/.pndXmodmap

What this means is that it's using the "us" layout with the modifications specified in the ".pndXmodmap" file (the Pandora needs these modifications because its keyboard isn't the same as a standard one).

So there are two basic things you could change: you could replace "us" with a different base layout, or you could replace "~/.pndXmodmap" with a different file.

===Base layouts===
The default layout is "us". The full list of base layouts included with the Pandora is listed in the file <code>/usr/share/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86</code>. Here's the full list:
{{HideableNotes|<pre>
us
ar

</pre>}}

If you just want to use one of these base layouts with no modifications, make a new file in the <code>/media/yourSDcard/pandora/appdata/kblayout/keymaps</code> directory, name it anything, open it in a text editor and place the following text inside, replacing "xx" with any of the codes in the above list:
./setxkbmap -layout xx
Save the file. Then just start Keyboard Layout Changer, and you'll be able to select it.

===xmodmap===
This type of file modifies whatever base layout is selected. One of these comes by default with your Pandora OS. You can find the <code>.pndXmodmap</code> file in the <code>/home/username</code> directory. It might be hidden, so press Ctrl+H to make it visible. If you open it with a text editor, you'll see this:

Ok, now let's break this down a little. <code>keycode 38 = a A a A</code> - the first two letters after the = sign are what you'll get if you press the button marked A with and without holding "shift". The next two are with and without shift modifier together with a second modifier, but since there's no second modifier on the Pandora, this is redundant really. What about Fn, you may ask, isn't that a second modifier? The Fn-key acts on a lower level, and is not seen as a separate key. Instead, there are separate keycode entries for all Fn keys (the ones marked in blue on your Pandora). "NoSymbol" means that the combination doesn't produce a character. You can find a full list of symbols (or "keysyms") that you can use [http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/List_of_Keysyms_Recognised_by_Xmodmap over here].

You can edit the .pndXmodmap file itself if you want to. That'll change the default keyboard layout you have at startup.

But you can also make secondary custom keyboard layouts.

For example, here's how to make a selectable custom Russian keyboard layout:

====Making a custom Russian keyboard layout====
Make two new files inside <code>/media/yourSDcard/pandora/appdata/kblayout/keymaps</code>. One called "RU-translit" (the name doesn't matter), one called ".rumodmap" (the dot at the start of the name is to make it not show up in the Keyboard Layout Changer menu as a keymap; that's the function of the ''first'' file you made). Put this text in the RU-translit file:
./setxkbmap -layout us
xmodmap keymaps/.rumodmap

Put this text in the .rumodmap file:

{{HideableNotes|<pre>keycode 9 = Escape NoSymbol Escape

Once that's done, you can open the Keyboard Layout Changer, choose "RU-translit", and your keyboard layout will change to a layout similar to [http://i.imgur.com/O96Pu.gif this one], with extra letters replacing F1-F7 (note: for those 7 letters, you can only use the Shift on the Pandora's front face, not the left shoulder button). To change back, open Keyboard Layout Changer again and select "default".

In the same way, you can create any other sorts of custom layouts. The easiest way to create a new modmap file is to copy+paste the contents of <code>/home/username/.pndXmodmap</code> into a new file in the <code>/media/yourSDcard/pandora/appdata/kblayout/keymaps</code> directory and make adjustments to whatever you want to change.

==How many keypresses can it detect at once?==
It can detect two "regular" keys being pressed at once[http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?s=&showtopic=44326&view=findpost&p=651104]. However, this restriction does not apply to the game controls, or the central "Menu" keys.

* The keyboard is listed on p.20 of the hackers manual

default mapping of OpenPandora game buttons for desktop usage.

Compile on the Pandora

2013-02-16T23:33:15Z

Galaxis: page restructured, added link to Code::Blocks, added warnings to old instructions

This page lists various ways to install a compiler and development tools onto a Pandora.

== C Development Tools PND ==

For compiling C/C++ programs that use SDL, GTK+, QT or Allegro, a PND is now available: [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=cdevtools.freamon.40n8e repo]. Running this PND gives your Pandora access to gcc and g++ without changing the root filesystem.

== Code::Blocks PND ==

The [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=codeblocks6022 Code::Blocks PND] is based on infrastructure from the cdevtools package above, plus a set of updated libraries and the Code::Blocks IDE.
Note that when you are building your software against libraries supplied with Code::Blocks that are not included in the Pandora base system, you will need to bundle them into your PND.

== Using a full Linux distribution ==

Slackware for Pandora (SL4P) contains all development stuff the x86 version has: gcc, perl, ruby, python, php, java etc..
Get it [http://pandorawiki.org/Software_projects/OS/Slackware here.]

== Using T4b's prepackaged toolchain ==

'''NOTE: This guide was written in 2011, and the instructions were not recently tested.'''

This is how I, T4b, set up my develepment environment. Of course it is on an SD card, the NAND is way to small. I recommend an 8GB card.

=== Installing the OS to an SD ===
This part was almost only copied from there: http://www.pandorabits.org/index.php?page=sd-installer
#Copy the PND to an SD card in the usual manner. You can get it from [http://www.pandorabits.org/index.php?page=sd-installer-downloads PandoraBits' download page].
#Copy a firmware image to the same card. You can get one from [http://openpandora.org/firmware/ here], the file "pandora-rootfs.tar.bz2" should always be the latest image, older ones are under the "images" directory. I suggest using the newest one, I did it with the (at the moment of writing this) newest one, with HotFix5.
#Ensure that you have both SD cards in Pandora. It doesn't matter which one is in which slot.
#Run the PND. You will probably be asked for your password at this point. This is needed because the installer needs to run as root in order to partition and format the SD card.
#Follow the prompts that appear. You will be asked for the firmware image file, then asked to select the card that you want to use, then asked to choose how much space to allocate to the VFAT (Windows, see below) and swap partitions.
#Once you have gone through all the prompts, the firmware image will be installed to the SD card. This will take upwards of ten minutes. The larger the card, the longer it takes, so be patient.
#Once complete, you will be able to boot your Pandora from the SD card by powering it on with the card in the left slot. Please note that the first boot will take longer than usual, at least ten minutes. Cards of 16 GB or more seem to take a lot longer.
=== Getting the actual development environment ===
No you'll find out why I called it a "lazy" way.
#Download the newest archive from [http://forum.gp2x.de/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=11865 this] thread in the German gp2x.de forum. Use google translator if necessary (at the time of writing this the newest one was [http://kimu.usenet-verwaltung.de/devel-pandora-native-20110411.tar.bz2 this] [direct download])
#Copy it on an SD which you insert into your Pandora
#<source lang="bash">cd /</source>
#<source lang="bash">sudo tar -xjf path/to/archive.tar.bz2</source>
#Reboot
Done!

== Using Angstrom packages ==

'''NOTE: This guide was written for an older release of the Pandora firmware. Nowadays, opkg should fetch packages from the openpandora feed, and installing packages should not break the system. It is unknown if these instructions still work on a current firmware.'''

torpor described how to [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/53964-cross-compiling-is-bollocks-toolchains-are-bollocks-use-your-pandora-to-build-apps/ build apps directly on the Pandora].

{{warning
|Please note that as of March 2011, you will break your install if you follow those instructions directly! The angstrom "unstable" distribution is well named.

You can try the following:

1. I found that the www.angstrom-distribution.org repo was very slow, so changed the config files in /etc/opkg/ to use us.feeds.angstrom-distribution.org instead.

2. Enable sshd, and ssh in from another machine. This helps keep control when things break. To get root:

<source lang="bash">sudo bash</source>

3. Set up a [http://pandorawiki.org/Extend_Utils#Creating_a_Root_or_Home_Overlay_PreMount root overlay] on your SD card. This gives you a way to try again when things break, and there are other benefits. I added /home/ to the overlay also, by editing the "premount" script. To explain the extend terminology a bit, a "root overlay" is a loop mounted filesystem (on an SD) which goes over the top of (most of) your normal root filesystem. You can still read the files underneath it, but any writes / deletes are recorded only in the overlay filesystem. Your real root on the NAND is not modified at all. The "premount" shell script is used to mount your overlay, have a look in it to see how it works. You can sort of unmount them using umount -l (lazy umount), but I'm not sure if this is safe. The reliable way to unmount it is to reboot the Pandora!

4. Mount the overlay. Check this worked, with "mount" or "df".

5. Get new fresh package lists:

<source lang="bash">opkg update</source>

6. ncurses packaging seems to be broken, and ncurses is important! So, I suggest to do this first (in the overlay), or be prepared for things to start breaking when it gets removed later. If it does get removed, make sure to install it again!

<source lang="bash">opkg install libncurses5</source>

7. Install dev packages:

<source lang="bash">opkg install gcc gcc-symlinks make-dev binutils-dev cpp cpp-symlinks libgcc-dev
opkg install g++ g++-symlinks libstdc++-dev</source>

8. Try to compile "hello world".

9. I had trouble with libsdl-image-1.2-dev and libpng / libpng-dev. libpng-dev from the repo conflicts with 'libpng' on the Pandora. That latter package is misnamed I guess, it should be called 'libpng-dev', only contains libpng-config and libpng12-config (dev tools, not essential) but task-pandora-core depends on it. The real libs are in libpng12-0 / libpng3. So I did this:
<source lang="bash">
opkg remove libpng --force-depends
opkg install libpng-dev
</source>

10. Install extra dev libs:
<source lang="bash">
opkg install libgles-omap3-dev
opkg install libsdl-1.2-dev libsdl-gfx-dev libsdl-image-1.2-dev libsdl-mixer-1.2-dev libsdl-net-1.2-dev libsdl-ttf-2.0-dev
</source>

Hopefully this will go smoothly if you've fixed the png conflict in step 9.

11. Install optional extra stuff, if you want them:
<source lang="bash">
opkg install vim vim-syntax
opkg install libgles-omap3-demos
opkg install screen git rsync
</source>

The above was from memory, I didn't re-test all of it because it took too long even the first time! If you find other problems or quirks, please correct it.

After all this, I was able to build torpor's suggested dev demo app, [http://w1xer.at/pandora/ WakeBreaker].

====USB WiFi adapters====
The Pandora stock kernel doesn't seem to come with any wireless driver support outside of the internal wifi chip. The only way you'll get wireless working is to build your own kernel with it included or try [http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download compat-wireless].
