Gruso: /* Music producers */

This is a general information page for the various applications of MIDI on the Pandora.

===Game music===

Many games make use of MIDI background music. Generally these are PC ports like Doom, Warcraft, Dune 2, ROTT, the Zelda remakes, Albion and more. To enable music in these games (as directed by their documentation), install the [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=timidity-midi-installer-19487 Timidity MIDI installer]. It provides the sound and configuration required to enable MIDI background music.

===Listening to .mid files===

[http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=timidity.daemon.gui.80085 Timidity Daemon & GUI] includes a basic player for .mid files. Other audio players may support the .mid format too. Note: The [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=timidity-midi-installer-19487 Timidity MIDI installer] is a pre-requisite to the Dameon & GUI package. Without it, you will not have sounds or Timidity config present on your system.

===Music producers===

Standard [[USB]] MIDI class drivers are included on the Pandora, which means any 'generic' interfaces should be supported. Check the [[USB compatibility list]] for information on specific devices. Most USB MIDI interfaces are USB1.1, which means you'll need to use a USB hub. If you do not have any MIDI hardware attached, you will need both the [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=timidity-midi-installer-19487 Timidity MIDI installer] and [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=timidity.daemon.gui.80085 Timidity Daemon & GUI]. Running the daemon allows Timidity to be seen as an output device by sequencing software, so it can be used for on-board sounds.

===What is the difference between the "MIDI Installer" and the "Daemon & GUI"?===

The MIDI Installer simply installs patterns (sounds) and a config file. It is all that you need if you only want to enable game music. The Daemon & GUI package is the full Timidity binary compiled for the Pandora. (Note that it will not function without the MIDI Installer being run first.) Why aren't they packaged together? Primarily because the former is a large-ish 40MB PND which you can remove from your card after installing, and the latter is a lighter 600KB PND which you keep on your system. Merging them was discussed, but it was decided that keeping them separate was more flexible for users.

===Can I use MIDI via an emulator?===

The Atari ST emulator [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=hatari.skeezix.pkg Hatari] has been successfully tested running driving hardware synths via USB MIDI interface [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFpfoY_No8U 1][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUdMhSQoVNA 2]. In theory [http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=all&search=dosbox DOSBox] should also be able to drive hardware (such as a Roland MT32) as it does on PC, although this is untested on the Pandora. Feel free to test and add your results to this section.

Gruso: /* How Do I Make a TV-Out Cable? */ added new PDF link

{{introNote|About custom hardware extensions, see also [[Kernel interface]]}}
==Official Hackers Manual==
There is a LOT of great information in this:
[http://www.openpandora.org/downloads/PANDORA_Hackers_manual_v101.pdf Pandora Hackers Manual v1.01 by MWeston]

==Pinouts==
Here's a list of pinouts for the various connectors and boards.

Here's a pic of the board, some of the pinouts can be seen on it. [http://pandorapress.net/files/2010/02/rev5.jpg]

==Ext Connector==
[[Image:Cable_connector pinout.png|thumb|TV cable connector]]
''What does it have?''
* UART2
* UART3
* TV out
* Stereo line out
* Stereo line in
* The UART lines can also be used as GPIO (six of them) and PWM lines (four of them).

''Where can we get the connectors from?''

* The connector appears to be a Tyco Electronics connector, part number 1717169-2
* The manufacturer does *not* stock these for engineering samples, and very few vendors carry them
* Community member [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/user/157-wizardstan/ WizardStan] has ordered a bunch and is selling them at $2 a piece plus shipping from Canada, [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/2675-ext-connectors/ see here (thread)] or [http://pandorapress.net/2011/05/18/ext-connectors-have-arrived/ here (article)]

===How Do I Make a TV-Out Cable?===
* There are some useful tips in the [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/2675-ext-connectors/ EXT Connectors] thread.
* A guide explaining one way of creating the video cables can be found [http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/pandora.cgi?0,0,0,0,23,465 here]
* MarkoeZ Has written a blog post about it [http://markoez.pirategames.co.uk/index.php/blog/pandora-ext-tv-out-explained/ here]

==Battery==
[[Image:Battery.jpg|thumb]]
* 3.7V
* Lithium polymer single cell battery

QEMU

2012-04-08T08:59:41Z

Gruso: /* Installing Microsoft Windows 95 on PC */ cleaned up & clarified section

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 Win9x 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

===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 [strg] keys, look between the nubs
====MS-DOS 6 and above / alike====
* Keyboard
** 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 <span class="plainlinks">[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/123408/en here]</span>
** 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 <span class="plainlinks">[http://cutemouse.sourceforge.net/ CuteMouse]</span>
** 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 <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/dn/ DOS Navigator]</span> an open source Norton Commander clone

QEMU

2012-04-08T08:48:40Z

Gruso: /* Creating HDD images using your Desktop PC (Windows) */ added sentence at end

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 Win9x 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

*create new VM

*Name it what you like(example win95)

*Choose x86PC , Operating system Windows58 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

*and under the Menu Advanced some Performance Tweaks:

Disable Hpet=YES

Disable ACPI Support=YES

*NOW WE CAN INSTALL Win95:

*Switch to Drives and Choose as CDROM your CDROM Drive or your own Win95Iso

*use one Win95 Bootdisk (.ima and .img Diskformats shoud work)

*start from Bootfloppydisk(or Image)and start install (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

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 [strg] keys, look between the nubs
====MS-DOS 6 and above / alike====
* Keyboard
** 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 <span class="plainlinks">[http://support.microsoft.com/kb/123408/en here]</span>
** 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 <span class="plainlinks">[http://cutemouse.sourceforge.net/ CuteMouse]</span>
** 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 <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/dn/ DOS Navigator]</span> an open source Norton Commander clone

USB compatibility list

2012-04-01T06:19:46Z

Gruso: /* USB WiFi adapters */ add Edimax model

This is a list of USB devices that have been tested on the Pandora. If the device you want to know about isn't listed here, don't worry! Just go to [[USB_reference|the USB reference page]], look up the specs of your device, and you may be able to figure out if it's compatible.

= Networking =

Please see the [[Mobile broadband]] page for tips on how to get these working, as well as [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54318-guide-mobile-broadband-usb-stick-usage/ this tutorial] from the GP32X forum.

== HSDPA (3G) Modems ==

Please note that many (if not all) USB 3G modems need modemmanager to be installed for switching from mass storage mode to serial communications mode. When first plugged in, most 3G USB modems claim to be a mass storage device and offer, on its built-in flash, drivers and connectivity software to be installed. Mostly this is only for Windows and Mac, so for the Pandora this is not useful. modemmanager instantly takes care of toggling the mode, so that when you plug in the modem, after a few seconds or maybe half a minute modemmanager has switched the modem to communications mode and NetworkManager is able to use it.

If you are using a Firmware before HF7 (or one of its Alpha/Beta versions) you have to install modemmanager. To do so, connect your Pandora to the Internet, open a terminal and, as a super user, intall it via opkg by entering the commands:

:sudo opkg update
:sudo opkg install modemmanager

'''Note:''' If you are using a firmware more recent than "Zaxxon" Hotfix 6 (starting with HF7) you do not have to follow the steps outlined above since modemmanager comes preinstalled.

'''Note 2:''' After plugging in the USB 3G modem, it may take some time until NetworkManager is able to use the modem. Wait for at least half a minute, until you give up and report that the modem doesn't work.

== 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].

As for hofix 6a4 compat-wireless seems to be present in the kernel out of the box, so one can build a USB wireless driver for Pandora following this [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/5140-solvedbuilding-a-usb-wifi-driver/page__view__findpost__p__89280 algorithm]

As for [[hotfix 6]] Release Candidate the kernel includes drivers for these Realtek chips: RTL8712/8188/8191/8192SU/8192CU

See also [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/7160-micro-wifi-dongle/ this thread] on the forums for the latest.

Gruso: /* Adding a skin */ oops, forgot a thing

PickleLauncher
by Scott Smith (Pickle) Copyright (C) 2010-2011

==Summary==
PickleLauncher is designed to a simple but flexible frontend for autodetecting and configuring
command line based applications that might have different input files, like emulators.

Sourceforge Project Page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/picklelauncher/

===How it works===
PickleLauncher looks for its configuration from the config.txt and profile.txt.
Profile.txt specifies location, file types, commands, arguments, and entries. Config.txt contains options for the application gui and input.
The launcher will use the information given and scan the current path for files that can be launched with the target application and present them to the user. The user can modify options (passed by argument flags) for all entries or for one specific entry. When an entry is selected the user can launch the file. PickleLauncher constructs a command line script which is set to trigger once the launcher is quit. Once the user quits the target application the script has execution command to reload PickleLauncher. The user can choose to select, edit, or quit PickleLauncher.

===Source and Project Information===
PickleLauncher source code is released under gplv3 see COPYING.txt for license details. Access to a copy of the source can be found on the sf.net project page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/picklelauncher/
If you redistribute I request (but not require) that all documentation is included. If the DejaVu font is not included
then the license is not required.
Patches and suggestions for improvement are welcome.

===Mouse and Touchscreen===
All devices that support it can do all controls through the screen through click-able buttons.
The touchscreen can also select entries directly through the entry list.
====Buttons on Left-hand Side====
< : one up
> : one down
<< : page up
>> : page down
U : one directory level up
D : one directory level down
Z : switch zip mode from extraction of all files to only the selected file
====Buttons on Right-hand Side====
*Mode Select Entry/Browse
Edit Item (2) : will open a list to select an command or argument that then can be selected and the assigned value changed. Directories are highlighted in red and files are black.
Launch (1) : will launch the current item if an input file, if a directory is selected the selector will go down into the folder. If dirs exepath is defined then directories will become launchable and editable.
*Mode Select Argument
Select (2) : selects the argument for the command or extension and reads in possible values for selection.
Back (1) : returns to the entry/browse selection mode
*Mode Select Argument Value*
Set (3) : the selected value will be set for this entry. This will trigger a custom entry to be saved in the profile.txt. Current selected value is in red.
Default (2) : the selected value will be set for all entries. Current default is marked by the star character *.
Back (1) : Returns to the argument selection mode
*Common
Quit (0) : quits the launcher

==Features==
===Zip Support===
Zips are treated like a folder. When selected the launcher will read the zip and display any contents that match a defined extenstion(s). If a file inside the zip is chosen then the launcher will extract the file(s) from the zip into the configurable zip path. Upon quiting the launcher will delete any extracted files from the zip path. Extracted files are recorded in the ziplist.txt, so if the launcher has an error on the next time PickleLauncher runs the files will be deleted.

==Configuration File: profile.txt==
''profile.txt'' describes the behavior of PickleLauncher. It offers several settings that can be configured to more precisely set how the launcher should behave and interact with the user. It must be constructed by hand before PickleLauncher can be of use.

====Global Settings====
These are the settings that are global and required. These must be included.

targetapp=<name>
''<name>'' specifies the name of the application to use. This name will show in the title. If eg <name> is set to ''MyApp' the title will read "PickleLauncher for MyApp".

filepath=<path>
''<path>'' specifies the initial path where the launcher should look for the input files. A good starting point (for the Pandora) is probably ''/media'' or ''./''. In general it can look like this: ''filepath=/mnt/sd/roms'' or ''filepath=roms'' or ''filepath=./''

====Command Settings====
Commands can be any binary or script with its own arguments (1 or more) that will be run prior to running the target application.
*Example
<CPU Speed>
cmdpath=/usr/bin/sudo cpuset
cmdarg=--clock;0;500 Mhz;500;700 Mhz;700;...
cmdarg=--memory;1;10 Clk;5;12 Clk;12;...
''results in: '' /usr/bin/sudo cpuset --clock 500 --memory 12

*Details
<command name>
Identifies the beginning of a command and its name for display in the GUI, i.e ''<CPU Speed>''. Inside those blocks additional things have to be listed:

cmdpath=<path>
This is the path to the binary command that will be run before the target application is executed. i.e ''cmdpath=/bin/to/somewhere/cpuset''

cmdarg=<argument>;<default>;<option label 0>;<option value 0>;<option label 1>;<option value 1>;...
This defines an argument with a default value and all possible values. Here is an explanation of what the things are supposed to mean:
* ''<argument>'': Flag string
* ''<default>'': Index of the default value used for all entries (starting with 0)
* ''<option label>'': String label to represent the value in the GUI
* ''<option value>'': String value appended to the flag
A complete argument can look like this: ''--setcpuspeed;0;200 Mhz;200;400 Mhz;400;600 Mhz;600''
It will add the argument ''--setcpuspeed'' to the program specified by ''cmdpath'' and as default have the first entry, which has the label ''200 MHz'' and means a parameter of ''200'' selected.

====Extension Settings====
# Extension Settings
About : extensions are the key component to configuring the launcher. They link
files identified by extensions to a target application that will run them.

[dirs] special case that will consider folders to be treated as launchable files
if the exepath is defined. This mode will also disable browsing so the
launcher will be locked into the defined filepath. The exepath can be
left empty and [dirs] can be used for just the blacklist option to hide
folders.

[ext] : this identifies the file type to look for. All following options will be
associated with this extension only. File types can be chained.
exepath=<path and binary : this is the path to the target application's binary file used by this
extension
i.e. exepath=/mnt/sd/games/mygame/superemu or exepath=./superapp

blacklist=<list : this is a list of files that should not show up in the entry list (can be empty)
i.e. blacklist=somerom.bin,anotherrom.bin

extarg=<argument>;<default>;<option Label 0>;<option Value 0>;.... : is used to specify
arguments for the files with the extension.
<argument> : the flag string.
<default> : the index of the default value used for all entries
<option label> : a string label to represent the value in the GUI
<option value> : a string value appended to the flag
There are special strings for the default value:
%filename% : copies the entry filename to be used with the agrument flag
%na% : specifes that the argument shouldnt be used and expects the user
to put an value for the entries that need it.
i.e extarg=-sound;1;11 Khz;11;22 Khz;22 OR
extarg=-config;0;%na%;config.cfg OR
extarg=-rom;0;%na%;%filename%

argforce=<path>;<argument index>;<new value> : this will assign the new value specfied to all
entries detected in the path given.
<path>
<argument index>
<new value>
i.e argswap=./exps/are/here/,1,exp1.rom
====Custom Entries Settings====
# Custom Entries Settings
About : Entries are used to store custom values for any detected entry.
Normally these never need to be manually created as the launcher
will do it. Although options like alias need to be inputted by the user.
{<path and filename>;<alias>}
<path and filename> : the path and filename that the entry should be applied.
<alias> : replaces the filename as the string name that will be displayed in
the GUI.
entrycmds=<values> : a list of values to be used to set for the command arguments
according to the order that commands are defined in the profile.txt.
i.e entrycmds=1
entryargs=<values> : a list of values to be used to set for the extension arguments
according to the order that arguments are defined in the profile.txt.
i.e entryargs=0;3;2

====Examples====
This is the profile.txt file that is used with snes9x4p to allow support for the common known rom formats. It does set the default file path to /media/ and supports the file extensions ''sfc'', ''smc'', ''7z'' as well as ''zip''. For each the script ''./snes.sh'' will be executed and the filename of the selected file added. This is just the defconfig file and will be copied into appdata to be replaced by the user config file in which the last filepath will automatically be stored when exiting the program.
<source lang="xml">
# Global Settings
filepath=/media/

# Extension Settings
[sfc;smc;7z;zip]
exepath=./snes.sh
arg=,%filename%

# Custom Entries Settings
</source>

==Configuration File: config.txt==

NOTE: PickleLauncher has built in defaults, it is suggested that you use these values. But if something isn't quite the way you want, such as colour, use this file to customize the GUI.

See the config.txt for details. If you do not see a config.txt run the launcher once and one will be generated.

==Adding a skin==
PickleLauncher can be skinned by placing graphics in an /images directory, either inside the PND or in the applicable /appdata location. Below is a list of filenames PickleLauncher may look for, and their equivalent text labels.

{|class="wikitable sortable" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 90%; border:1px solid gray; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center; width: 50%;"

I'm thinking that this page should be moved/renamed to 'MAME_106' or similar. The 'MAME' page would then be a landing place for readers, kinda like a disambiguation page, explaining that there are two ports, and linking to each. The reason: Typing MAME into the search box lands you directly on this page, and it may give readers the impression that MAME 106 is the 'go to' port when it's not really. A generic MAME landing page would be much more informative IMHO. Thoughts? [[User:Gruso|Gruso]] 11:38, 10 October 2011 (CEST)

PND repository specification

2011-04-04T12:22:45Z

Gruso: updated milshake's repo link

= Overview =
This is the specification for PND repository files. Such a file represents a PND repository, meaning a source to get PND files from, and should list applications that tracked PND files provide, along with URIs for related files.

= Logistics =
A PND repository file should be hosted in a known location that can be identified by an URI, and using a REST-enabled or read-only protocol. If the repository URI is using the HTTP protocol, a GET operation on the URI node should retrieve the repository, while a HEAD operation should retrieve header information, useful for client caching; no other operations are supported. Caching of repository files is encouraged, and a day is the recommended time interval for cache implementations. Client implementations may circumvent any cache specifications if it is deemed necessary to acquire the latest repository file, though. GZip compression over the HTTP protocol does not have to be supported.

= Reference implementation =
The only current implementation is on [http://repo.openpandora.org/ milkshake's repo], with the [http://op.liquidfists.com/includes/getData.php repository file here]. Also available is code for [https://github.com/dflemstr/box the Box PND management system], though it only supports repository version 1.0, and is not currently being run anywhere.

= Client implementations =
Clients should store lists of URIs to repository files and download files from these URIs on demand, respecting cache metadata. They may use HEAD requests on HTTP repository URIs to get information about expiry times that the repository files may have. It should NOT be possible to perform head operations on actual downloadable files, however; repository URI references should be immutable, and a tracked URI must always point to the same data.

= Format =
The repository file should be in a text/json format, as described below.
* All fields marked with "OPTIONAL" may be missing.
* All other fields '''must''' be present with appropriate data. There are very few, so it shouldn't be hard.
* Additional unofficial fields may be added by repository maintainers; these fields should use keys formed as "x-''reponame''-''field''" so as to avoid conflicts with other repositories or future spec versions.

(Comments added for clarification; JSON files may normally never contain comments)

Talk:Overclocking

Gruso: re: removed examples

== Why were the examples removed? ==

I don't get it. What was wrong with having them on this page? I mean, I had to scrounge around gp32x for an hour or so before I found them; it seems many people assume you know how these things are done already... --[[User:Cheese|Cheese]] 20:39, 18 March 2011 (MET)

I see you also removed all information that might help someone who is interested in changing the opp... why? I think we need to consider the potential audience of this article. They are likely to be more advanced and not intimidated by the command line, and likely already know what overclocking is and simply are interested in Pandora specific information. I went to this page because I wanted to find some simple commands to change the current opp and set a clock rate higher than what's allowed in the gui script. When I didn't find what I was looking for, I added it. --[[User:Cheese|Cheese]] 20:52, 18 March 2011 (MET)

Maybe they were removed because there is now a GUI tool for the settings? Whatever the reason, they should be restored. The kind of info is what the wiki is for! --[[User:Gruso|Gruso]] 00:33, 19 March 2011 (MET)

Gruso: reshuffle some info?

==Early Problems==
I think there is only one real issue which caused these problems, all down to manufacturing tolerance. (where is not clear) This causes the bad calibration performance, and may contribute to the catastrophic mechanical failure - but that it the only failure which can be clearly identified by an end user. (as opposed to just not very good performance). Need to get hold of a tested nub to compare with.
:I'm not so sure about that. My left nub obviously suffers from the non-centring problem which I believe is due to poor tolerances (it broke after a month of use), while my right nub's issue doesn't seem to be mechanical at all. If I had to guess the problem with my right nub is caused by a bad trace, the calibration isn't exactly wrong, but it thinks i've moved it to the right no matter what direction i've moved it, and is like that until I move it to almost the most extreme position. No amount of recalibration changes its behaviour. --[[User:Cheese|Cheese]] 19:37, 27 July 2010 (MEST)
::Sorry, yes - forgot that. Certainly the PCB on mine looked of marginal quality, with very fine traces.--[[User:Tsh|Tsh]] 22:14, 27 July 2010 (MEST)
Thinking of moving the first section (Early Nub Problems) to the bottom. The problems are largely in the past, and while the info should be preserved, it's not a very confidence inspiring landing point for newbies seeking calibration info etc. [[User:Gruso|Gruso]] 02:30, 16 March 2011 (MET)

Basic Linux Guide

2011-03-15T11:36:22Z

Gruso: changes to /media

New to the wonderful world of Linux? No problem! You don't need mad terminal skills to open a web browser, but it can be nice to know what you're doing once in a while.
== The structure of the file system ==
If you're used to the file system of e.g. MS Windows, you will find that a Linux file system is rather different from what you're used to. In this section, we will go through everything you have to know in order to feel comfortable with using the Pandora's file system.
=== Basic philosophy ===
In Windows, you have multiple file system roots, called "drives", that are labeled with different letters, like "C:" or "D:". In Linux, there aren't multiple root directories, but rather just one root directory, called "/". All other directories are inside of this directory, including other drives.

=== Common directories ===
Inside of the root directory ("/") are quite a lot of other directories. Here are the most important ones:
* "/media/*" - External media such as SD cards, flash drives and HDDs show up in here as folders. You can think of these folders as shortcuts to the devices.
* "/usr" - Here is where you'll find programs and files installed on the Pandora itself. Core applications such as the web browser, media player, and other applications that are available the first time you start your Pandora are stored here inside the "/share" folder. If you decide to install anything via the "ipkg" command (covered later), this is where the files needed by those installations will end up.
* "/etc" - System-wide configuration. Should only be touched by power-users.
* "/home" - This is where all of the files that are owned by all users are stored. Users do not generally have write-access to anything outside of this directory.
* "/home/username" - Here are the personal files of user "username". In this directory, you will find a directory called "Documents", "Pictures", "Desktop" etc. that correspond to that users personal directories. This directory is also called "username"'s home directory, and can be abbreviated with "~/" (if you're currently logged in as username) or "~username/".
* "/boot" - This is the directory where the Linux kernel is stored, and other files that are needed at boot time can be accessed. Do not touch this directory (You can't even do it if you wanted to)!
* "/bin", "/lib" - System binaries and libraries are stored here. Most of the terminal commands mentioned below can be found inside of "/bin". You should generally never have to touch this directory, either.

Don't worry if this doesn't make any sense; It was thought up by bearded engineers back in the seventies. They liked the idea that everything would be in a predictable place, but this is no longer completely the case.

== Basic Terminal Commands ==
Note: Linux is case sensitive. This applies to filenames and directories too. "/home/me/stuff" is a different folder than "/home/me/STUFF", you can actually have both. You can have "/home/me/Stuff" too if you like, and all three are separately recognised directories.

===Navigation===
In the terminal, you are always in some folder. Think of it like being in a file manager: you can see the contents of the directory you're in, you can do things with those files, or you may decide to go to some other folder and continue your work there.

There are a few essential commands that are used to navigate around your system via the terminal:

* "pwd" - Print the current working directory (will print e.g. "/home/user")
* "ls" - List directory contents (similar to "Dir" in Dos, and the Linux command "dir" will actually emulate the DOS command if you want to!)
* "cd <directory name>" - Change to a different directory, eg. "cd music" or "cd /home/me/music"
* "cd .." - Go up one directory level (similar to "cd.." in Dos)
* "cd" - Go back to your home directory (similar to My Documents in Windows)
* "cd -" - Go back to the previous directory you were in (handy if you forget)

===Controlling Running Apps===
* "top" - View running processes (like the Task Manager in Windows) press "q" to quit
* "killall [program name] - Stops running process (use with care)

===File Manipulation===
* "rm <filename>" - Remove a file, eg. "rm somefile.txt" or "rm /home/me/randomfiles/somefile.txt"
* "rmdir <directory>" - Will remove a directory, but **only** if it is empty!
* "rm -r <directory>" - Will remove a directory and its contents ("-r" means recursive)
* "rm -rf <directory>" - Will remove a directory, all of its contents, without asking you first. Use with extreme care. ("-f" means force)
* "mv <original filename> <new filename>" - Moves a file to a new place, also used for renaming, eg. "mv somefile.txt somefile_backup.txt" will rename it, but "mv somefile.txt /home/me/backup/somefile.txt" will move it. This will also work for directories.
* "cp <file to copy> <new filename>" - Copy a file, eg. "cp twoweeks.txt twomonths.txt" copies into current directory, while "cp twomonths.txt /home/me/ihaveadream/twoweeks.txt" copies to another directory.
* "cp -r <directory to copy> <new directory name>" - Copy a directory and all of its contents to another location.
* "touch <new file name>" - Makes a new (empty) file
* "mkdir <new directory name>" - Makes a directory

===Misc.===
* "cat <filename>" - Prints the contents of a file, eg. "cat hellolo.txt"
* "clear" - Clears screen, terminal input begins at the top again
* "date" - Your friend, the terminal will tell you the date
* "cal [month] [year]" - Makes a pretty calendar, eg. "cal 12 2009" or "cal * 2010" or "cal 1 2010 > fingers_crossed.txt" sends output to file
* "history" - Gives a list of the recent commands you have run. Running !number (e.g. !15) will rerun that numbered command in the history list
* "vi <filename>" - Opens the file for editing in vi [http://pandorawiki.org/Vi]

'''History Search:''' Press CTRL-R. As you type, BASH will try and find the command in your recent history that most closely matches what you are typing. To get back to the prompt, press CTRL-C.

'''Autocompletion:''' Press TAB. The terminal (also called the shell) will attempt to intelligently figure out what you're trying to type. It needs something to work with however, so try pressing TAB half way through a command or location.

:eg. "cd /home/me/pandora_suc" *TAB* will complete it as "cd /home/me/pandora_success" or with a filename "cat /home/me/letters/i_want_the_pandora_to_fa" *TAB* will turn into "cat /home/me/letters/i_want_the_pandora_to_fall_into_my_hands"

'''Directory aliases:''' There are some special directory names you can use to refer to a directory that would be too long to type otherwise, or that you simply don't know the name of.
* "~" - Refers to your home directory e.g. "/home/user".
* "~seconduser" - Refers to someone else's home directory.
* "." - Refers to the current directory, or the "same directory" in a path. What this means, is that if you type "cd .", nothing will happen since you already are in ".", and if you type "cd somedir/././././././.", you will simply go to "somedir", since the "."-directories that come after it are the "same directory" as the one before them.
* ".." - Refers to the directory in which the current directory is, or the "parent directory" in a path. If you type "cd .." you will come to the parent directory of your current directory, and if you type "cd s1/s2/s3/../../..", nothing will happen, since the path you specified cancels itself out.

Quickstart

2010-08-18T11:10:05Z

Gruso: /* Download the latest Hotfix */ Swapped Windows screenshot for Thunar

{{IntroNote | This Wiki is an unofficial community project, and Open Pandora Ltd. is not responsible for its content. Neither is the Wiki an official source of information about your device.}}

==Introduction==
This page provides a very simple walk-through to get you up and running with playing music and installing games. It will not confuse you by providing choices, or by giving explanations. For that, you might want to go back to the [[Main Page]] of the wiki.

==Power it up==
#You should have a power-supply, and a pandora with the battery already installed. If the battery is packed in it's shipping case, remove it and follow the printed instructions on correctly inserting it.
#Plug the charger into the mains, and into the Pandora. You might now need to wait up to 10 minutes. A green light at the right hand side should come on as the Pandora wakes up. Soon after, a red light will appear next to this.
#Whilst waiting to boot, 'write' with the stylus on some paper. This will polish the tip.

==First Run Wizard==
Some information is needed at this stage in order to set up important stuff. Make sure you keep the charger plugged in.
#After booting, a dialogue will offer to shutdown, or start the configuration. Press 'Start Now' with the stylus
#The first run dialogue will appear and ask you to enter some information. Use the pointer and touchscreen or left nub to move the pointer, move the right nub to the left to ''click''
##Name (Conventionally your full name)
##Login (Must not contain spaces)
##Password (and confirmation). Do not forget this!
##Machine Name (Again no spaces. Short is good. How your machine appears on a network.)
##Select if you want to login automatically with no password prompt
##Prefered GUI (Use XFCE for this tutorial)
##Time Zone (can be changed later)
#Once done, Pandora will reboot. From this point it is safe to unplug from the mains

==Around the screen==
[[image:Screen_layout.jpg]]
==Connect WiFi==
This step is optional, you can use another PC to download apps to an SD card or USB stick.
# Click the menu buttton, click System, click Toggle WiFi
# The 3rd light on the left is red, and should come ON (WiFi)
# A popup might say networks arre available.
# To the left of the battery indicator (a %charge and small run-time) is the network manager icon - A black square.
# Move the mouse with the left nub, and left click by moving the right nub to the left.
# Select your wireless connection. If you have security enabled, you will be prompted for details. You can also right click (nub to the right) to turn networking on and off. WiFi may sometimes be difficult to connect reliably.
# A spinning circle indicates the connection is in progress.
# A beacon icon shows the signal strength when connected
:[[image:Wifi_connected.jpg]]

Note (advanced users): If your connection is slow, you chould try changing the channel of your WLAN to a higher value. You do this by going to your router's IP and changing the settings of your wireless network.

==Download the latest Hotfix==
This step is necessary to ensure than any problems which have been fixed since your Pandora was shipped can be corrected. We refer to Hotfix3 here, although it is likely that Hotfix 4 will be released in August 2010. Always use the latest one. An automated process is being worked on. See the picture for the correct directory structure as seen from a windows PC.
[[Image:Pandorasd.thunar.png|thumb|alt=SD card folder structure|A Pandora SD card as it appears in Thunar, the default file browser on the Pandora. Figure 1 is the SD card itself (yours will have a different name). Figure 2 shows us that a /pandora folder has already been created on the card, and we're browsing inside it. Figure 3 shows the subfolders within the /pandora folder.]]
# Find an SD or SDHC card.
# If not connected to WiFi, do this on another computer
# Click the blue globe icon (3rd from left)
# type open-pandora.org into the address bar
# Click on Support
# Click the ''download the package here'' link for the latest HotFix Package (It's located under the "Complete firmware image including all Hotfixes"). (2-8-2010 - Hotfix 3: [http://www.open-pandora.org/downloads/HotFix3-Zaxxon.pnd])
# Select ''save as''
# Scroll the left hand list down, select the name of your SD card or mmcblkxxx if your card is not labeled.
# Click ''create folder'' and enter then name ''pandora''
# Double click on the pandora folder (right nub up once)
# Click ''create folder'' and enter then name ''apps''
# Double click on the apps folder[[Image:Hotfix installed.jpg|thumb|alt=Hotfix screenshot|This is where you can find the hotfix installer. Click for a larger view.]]
# Click ''save''
# Wait for the download to finish
# Put the SD card in your pandora if done on a PC
# Press the pandora button in between the nubs (short press)
# Use the D-pad to scroll up to ''System'' then right, and down to ''HotFix 3 Installer''. Press enter
# Follow the prompts and enter your password when requested

==Download the codec pack==
This step is necessary because of different licensing laws in different countries. Please understand that you need to take responsibility for any patent restrictions which apply in your country. The codec pack also includes a video player (not fully optimised to used the DSP yet)
Note: You must perform the previous step in order to do this one!
# If not connected to WiFi, do this on another computer
# Click the blue globe icon (3rd from left)
# type open-pandora.org into the address bar, click on Support
# Click the ''download the package here'' link for the codec pack. (2-8-2010 - Hotfix 3: [http://www.open-pandora.org/downloads/CodecPack.pnd])
# Select ''save as''
# Scroll the left hand list down, select the name of your SD card or mmcblkxxx if your card is not labeled.
# Double click on the pandora folder (right nub up once)
# Double click on the apps folder (right nub up once)
# Click ''save''
# Wait for the download to finish

[[Image:PandoraFront.jpg|Right|thumb|360px|Pandora FTW!]]
So your Pandora just arrived after being in the post for two months. Jolly good! But now that it's actually here, what on earth do you do with it? '''Don't panic!''' Let's take a look at what's included in the box(so you don't miss anything!) and then hop on over to setting it up for that extended Ms. Pacman marathon you've been waiting for!

Also, don't forget to hit up [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/forum/61-pandora/ GP32X] for questions/info/apps/fun/discussion!

If you find a problem which is not explained after visiting the forum, be sure to report it in the [http://bugs.openpandora.org/ Bug Tracker]

The [[Quickstart | quickstart page]] is work in progress, but will take you through the first steps (including downloading the codec pack) if you need detailed instructions.

== Safety Information ==
Warning: Choking Hazard, do not let children under the age of 3 come close to your Pandora console.
The Pandora contains small parts that can be eaten by those children.

The battery of Pandora must be charged by the charger included with the Pandora (see package contents). [[http://www.open-pandora.org/ Open Pandora Ltd.]] will not be responsible for damage arising from the use of third party chargers. Please be aware that "cheap" third party chargers often carry fake CE logos. These can damage your Pandora or burst horribly into FLAMES.

Keep the Pandora in normal temperatures under 140F/60C (Recommended temperatures are in the range between -10C and 40C){{Citation needed}}. The battery is a standard Lithium Polymer battery. Do not keep near fire or water. Do not disassemble, destroy or damage the battery, or it may explode! Do not short circuit external contacts! Dispose of it properly, please.

Modifications to hardware can damage your Pandora. [[http://www.open-pandora.org/ Open Pandora Ltd]] cannot be held responsible for any resulting damages that occur from you modifying your Pandora.

Malicious software can do horrible things to your Pandora. Only download Pandora software from trusted locations such as the [http://apps.openpandora.org Pandora Apps] website, the [http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/pandora.cgi Pandora File Archive], or the websites of trusted developers.

The Pandora has a 4.3-inch touch screen. You can touch the screen to trigger an action. That's right, a touch screen - not a stab screen, punch screen, or solid mahogany workbench. Always touch the screen gently – that is more than enough to trigger the action you want.

The casing of the Pandora has been designed for maximum strength, making it quite hard to break. Please do not consider this a challenge. Do not drop, throw, clamp, launch, tumble dry, or place anvils on the Pandora. This will void your warranty.

== Warranty Information ==
A one year warranty applies as required by law, and the device will be replaced/repaired if it is faulty. LCDs with numerous/excessive dead pixels will also be replaced.{{Citation needed}}

==== Features ====
The Pandora is a mixture between a PC and a gaming console (similar to classic computers such as the Amiga). That's why it has gaming controls (ABXY buttons, d-pad, and analogue nubs). It is fast enough to emulate many other systems, run a full desktop, access the internet with Firefox and play games such as Quake III. However, it is not as big as a netbook. Believe it or not, it will fit in your pocket. It's a bit bigger than the original Nintendo DS. (See the [[#Applications | Applications]] section of this manual to see what applications your Pandora will come with.)
Remember that your Pandora console will get better with every application installed!

== First Time Use ==
Now that you've opened the box, let's set this thing up! Place the battery inside the battery compartment on the back of the Pandora, making sure the contacts touch(the little silvery metal bits, it's easy). Snap on the battery cover and you're all set!
==== Charging ====
Charge your Pandora 8 hours before disconnecting it from the wall charger. This will improve the lifetime of your battery. To charge the Pandora, insert the power cable end in the Pandora and the other end into your wall socket.

The battery comes pre-charged at 40%, and that level might have decreased during shipping. To be on the safe side, we recommend that you charge the Pandora before you use it. Simply plug in your wall charger into an outlet, or optionally use a mini-USB cable connected to a computer or wall adapter. For extreme silliness, plug your Pandora into an ''already charged Pandora,'' and charge it from that! But not really.

To "fast charge" just put the system into "low-power" mode. You cannot charge the system while _off_. This is currently a feature and may change in future versions of the firmware.

As an added note by MWeston:
IF YOU POWERED THE SYSTEM WITHOUT A BATTERY, SHUT IT OFF BEFORE STICKING THE BATTERY BACK IN.

==== First Boot ====
Once your Pandora is ready, turn it on. The OS will take some time to boot up for the first time (about 10 minutes, this is only for the first boot, and is normal). After it has booted, a series of settings dialogs will pop up in the shape of a "Boot Wizard" allowing you to alter your Pandora's settings to your liking.

There are a total of 3 parts to the Boot Wizard guide:
===== System configuration =====
The first thing you will have to do is to calibrate the Pandora's touch screen. Only do this if the screen isn't calibrated already.
You will have the option for touchscreen calibration the first time you boot up your Pandora console.

Note: "Calibrating the touch screen" is a term used to describe the process of matching coordinates given by the touch layer with the underlying screen. A badly calibrated screen will register your push elsewhere on the screen, perhaps half a centimeter to one side. As there are sometimes slight variations in the production of the touch layer, you the user can improve the accuracy by matching the two layers manually.

===== User setup =====
After calibrating your screen, you will have to enter your full name. This is what you will see in any user selection dialogs or when the system needs to address you, so enter whatever you are most comfortable with. Then follows your username. It is recommended to choose an all-lowercase, one-word username here, since you will have to enter this name every time you log in. Once you've entered your username, a password input dialog appears. You will have to enter the password you want to use twice here. If you don't want to have a password for your device, simply leave both fields empty. If, however, you decide to enter a password, something hard to guess and between 8 and 16 characters long is preferred.

===== Network and security settings =====
You will now have to enter a name for your Pandora. This will be the Pandora's host name, so you have two options in this situation:

# If you don't have a domain you want to connect to, simply enter any name here. It should not contain any spaces.
# If you ''do'' have a domain you want to connect to, enter a name in the form of "pandoraname.domainname.tld". Note that you may never have a use for this.

Then, you'll have to choose whether you want to automatically log in on your Pandora when it boots, or if you should be given the opportunity to log in as a different user, or enter your password. It is recommended to disable auto login if you want to protect your user data, but if you're often in a hurry, then you can enable auto login here.

The final thing you will have to choose, is whether you want to use the full desktop Xfce environment or the gaming-oriented PMenu environment as your default environment in the Pandora. It is recommended to choose Xfce here if you want to gain access to the Pandora's full potential. This option can be changed later at any point.

==== Calibrating the Analog Nubs [http://pandorawiki.org/Nubs]====

The nubs automatically calibrate with use, and do so every time the unit is freshly powered up. Calibration information is stored inside the nub RAM, so when you power down (full power off, not just low power mode) the calibration information is lost. Calibrating the nubs is as simple as just using them -- do a few left right up down moves or swoosh around, and the nub will know its boundaries and be good thereafter.

So no special effort is required to calibrate or use the nubs, but the first few motions you use of them may be erratic as they self-calibrate.

==== Calibrating The Touchscreen ====
The touchscreen in your new Pandora device isn't psychic! You have to tell it what to do, and in order to do that effectively, you need to calibrate it. Simply navigate to settings→screen→calibration wizard{{Verify credibility}} and follow the onscreen instructions. You may have to recalibrate the screen from time to time as well.

During the first boot wizard, you will be offered the option to calibrate the touchscreen. By default it may well work okay, but the option is there. If calibration is far off, use the keyboard to select the calibration option.

==== Mouse (stylus/pointer) settings ====
When done with the calibration and you are back in the Pandora Xfce desktop environment you might also want to change some other touch screen settings to make navigation with the stylus work according to your preferences. Two recommended settings to experiment with for easier navigation are:

# The double-click Time setting
# The double-click Distance (valid touch-screen double-click area)

In the first setting, i.e. Time, you will be setting the interval between double-clicks where such clicks will be accepted as valid.
Ex. if you set the time to 250ms, the second click (or screen-tap in our case) must occur within 250ms of the first to be valid.

In the second setting, Distance, you will be setting the radius of screen area where the second click (tap) must fall into to be considered as a valid second tap. This means that if, for example, you set the distance to 5, your second tap must fall within a circle radius of 5 pixels from the point where the first tap occurred.

These two settings can be found under: Desktop ---> Xfce menu ---> Settings ---> Mouse ---> Behaviour tab.

== Basic Use ==

===Pmenu===

TBD.

===minimenu / mmenu===

minimenu is designed as a fast and easy to use launcher, without a lot of fancy frills. A grid of icons to launch, and use the d-pad or touchscreen to fire one off. It is fairly configurable and skinnable and is fully featured, and very fast. If you recall the interface on the gp32, gp2x, wiz, and gmenu2x you will be right at home and then some!

=====The main grid=====

The main grid with the default skin has most of the screen realestate showing a grid of available 'auto discovered' applications, with a detail panel on the right. A list of tabs is across the top of the screen, with some short help message on the bottom.

Pressing Start or B will invoke the pnd-application. Presseing Select will switch to a basic menu, providing shutdown or some advanced options.

Pressing "Y" (think "Why?") will bring up pnd-application documentation, if that pnd-file has defined any.

The left and right shoulder triggers will switch categories of applications; by default, minimenu includes an All category and defaults to showing it.

The applications are auto-discovered in the same means as the xfce desktop and pmenu and other pnd-supporting systems, however you may add additional minimenu-specific searchpaths into the configuration should you wish to. It is likely a basic file browser will also be added, letting you launch applications manually placed on your SD cards.

The standard overrides are supported -- .ovr files for icon title, clockspeed setting and categories, as well as a .pnd for icon override.

===Desktop style environment (Xfce)===

=====On the Desktop=====

The desktop will contain icons for numerous locations (such as each mounted SD card), as well as any auto-discovered pnd-applications located on SD cards or internal NAND.

=====In the menu=====
On the bottom left you have your applications menu, similar to the Windows start menu. Clicking it brings up a list of all installed applications and pnd-applications in the appropriate location on your SD cards.

=====Miscellaneous=====
To the right may be some icons, these serve as shortcuts to commonly used applications. Next to that you have your taskbar which, as you might have guessed, lists all running applications in your current workspace. To the right of the taskbar you have your workspaces, think of these as multiple desktops. By default you have two to switch between. Applications running in one workspace will not be visible in the other, so you can effectively hide your Ms. Pacman game from your boss at work, because there's no way you're not going to go for the gold, even at work! Finally there are a few more icons that deal with TV-Out, network connectivity, etc. and some running applications may place an icon there as well. And to the right of THOSE, you have your time. Because time flies when you're using your Pandora! Badum tsh. And to the right of that, you have a little icon which, when clicked, displays all running applications.

Finally, I'd just like to reiterate this--EVERYTHING is customizable! We'll get to that section later on.

===Pandora Button===

When in the desktop style environment (Xfce), the Pandora button will bring up the applications menu, letting you quickly view the available applications. If held, it allows you to [[User_manual#Killing Applications | kill]] an unresponsive application.

===[[Power modes | Power Modes]]===

Without switching the device entirely off, it may be placed into low power mode or regular power mode; simply sliding the power switch to the right will toggle modes.

Consider low power mode to be akin to turning off a PDA or cellphone -- the screen is off, the CPU is clocked down and so on, but the device is still silently on, allowing for alarms to go off or it to be turned on again instantly. Regular power mode is for normal usage.

Low power mode is probably going to be used as the normal "off" for most people, with true off (device powered down entirely, unable to respond to alarms or wake up quickly) available to conserve battery power. Turning the Pandora off completely is the best option if you don't plan on using it for few weeks or longer.

Closing the lid will turn off the display but otherwise leave the device operating - handy for audio playing; turning off the display reduces power consumption.

Shutdown will only occur if you are unplugged from the wall. The device can't be charged while off, to "fast charge" just switch to low power mode. See [[Power modes | power modes]] for more info.

The actual behaviour of buttons and events can be customized.

=== USB Peripherals ===
You can connect USB2 High Speed peripherals directly, using the large USB connector, or a USB-OTG adaptor lead. Lower-speed USB devices will only work through a hub, the Pandora does not have the support circuitry inside to drive the interface in the correct mode.
See the [[USB_compatibility_list|the USB compatibility list]] for peripherals which have been tested so far.

=== Killing Applications ===
Killing (or forcibly closing) an unresponsive application is as simple as holding down the Pandora button (just under start and select) for a few seconds. A dialog will appear which lists the open applications and gives you the option to kill them.

=== Forcing a Restart ===
Occasionally something will happen causing your Pandora to become unresponsive (to the point that even killing a program isn't possible). When this happens it is necessary to force your Pandora to restart. The easiest way to do this is by holding the Pandora button and moving the power switch to the right.

== Configuration and Customization ==
This is just an overview of the customization and configuration you can do. Individual sections may link to their own pages.

=== Setting Up WiFi ===
If wifi is enabled, and you are in range of an access point, a dialogue should appear offering to connect to it. See the [[Wifi]] page for more detail on using wifi.

=== Setting Up Bluetooth ===

=== Adjusting Brightness/Contrast ===
Brightness can be raised by pressing Fn+I and lowered with Fn+U. A tool is included with the Pandora called "LCD-Settings" (under the "Settings" menu) which can be used to adjust the brightness and the gamma.

=== Changing Your Theme ===
Under "Settings" in the menu, you will find "Appearance" which will let you adjust the style, icon set, fonts, and a few other appearance related settings. Also, under "Window Manager" you can adjust the style of each window's title bar.

=== Minimenu Configuration and Tricks ===

minimenu has a fairly comprehensive configuration file for its minimalistic design; most options may be enabled or disabled or fiddled with, and the skin can reasonably be altered.

The All category can be removed if undesired.

Expert conf hackers can specify what categories they'd like and in what order, and have multiple app categories dumped into one tab, and other tricks.

pnd-application icons may be all loaded during the menu setup, or deferred until later and loaded in the background.

Preview pics may be loaded up front (not advised, as it can be slow), or deferred until later. (When deferred, they may load when you rest the selection, or load in background.)

You may choose to have auto-discovered applications registered into any of their 6 categories (Main, Sub1, Sub2, Alt, AltSub1, AltSub2).

Etc and so on.

Additional keys are supported: Q to quit the menu (not really useful for most people), and Space to invoke the application.

[[Minimenu Configuration Documentation | This section contains more information.]]

== Applications ==

Many applications will come preinstalled into the internal NAND; these will be regular Linux applications (not packaged into pnd files, since they do not need to be redistributed to anyone.)

Additional applications may be found as [[Introduction to PNDs | pnd-files]] (a packaged up single file representing an entire application) or as regular Linux files (an application likely being made up of many files and possibly needing installation.)

==== What Is Included? ====
* Ångström Linux: Lightweight beautiful Linux-based operating system for the Pandora.
* Xfce: A full featured window manager for Linux.
* Midori: A full features web browser, designed to be lighter and faster than a full desktop style browser.
* Lightweight office utilities including Abiword, Gnumeric, and ClawsMail.
{{Volume needed}}

==== Where Can I Get More Apps? ====
There are many ways to get more applications onto your Pandora.

*On this wiki, we maintain up-to-date lists of [[games]], [[Emulator list|emulators]], and [[Software projects|other software]], with download links. These lists are more comprehensive than the two official sites below, because not every program is submitted to both of them.

*The easiest way is to browse the [http://apps.open-pandora.org Open App Store], where you can download a selection of free or commercial applications. To download, navigate to an app, pay for it if you must, and hit the 'download' button. Select where you want to save it, and you're done!

*There is the good ol' [http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/pandora.cgi Pandora File Archive].

*There are nice repositories, such as the [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo Angstrom ARM Repository], or...

*The Pandora includes the package manager opkg, which is a fork of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipkg ipkg]. Note this will install to nand by default, so should be used with great caution.

*Also, people may upload their apps to weird crevices in the net, so be on the lookout! (or use a search engine)

:<div style="border-top:1px solid gray; border-bottom:1px solid gray; padding-top:5px; padding-bottom:5px; margin-bottom:20px">''Note: Your Pandora's internal memory (NAND) will be at close to capacity when you receive it. All new programs should be installed to SD card. Downloads from the Angstrom Repo, or use of the opkg package manager, should only be done by advanced users or when instructed by Open Pandora Ltd (for example, firmware updates will probably use a pandora specific repository in the future).''</div>

==== Installing a PND file (an application) ====
[[Image:PandoraSD.png|thumb|alt=SD card folder structure|This is what the folder structure on your SD card should look like. The drive letter and card name will vary; they're not important.]]
Installation of a PND file is so easy, you can hardly even call it installing. All you need to do is copy the PND file into the appropriate folder on your SD card. The first thing you'll need to do is set up some folders that the Pandora will recognise. It's recommended that you start with a blank, freshly formatted (or freshly purchased) SD card. For the purposes of this guide we'll refer to your SD card as <SD>. (Windows might call it something like G:\Removable Disk.) Create a new folder on the SD card called 'pandora':
*<SD>/pandora
Then open the 'pandora' folder, and create four more inside it: apps, appdata, desktop, and menu:
*<SD>/pandora/apps
*<SD>/pandora/appdata/
*<SD>/pandora/desktop/
*<SD>/pandora/menu/
Now you're ready to install a PND file. Just copy and paste (or drag and drop) (or save) the file into your folder of choice:
* Putting a PND in the /desktop folder will make it appear on the XFCE desktop
* Putting a PND in the /menu folder will make it appear in the XFCE system menu
* Putting a PND in the /apps folder will make it appear in both locations
* If you're using Minimenu instead of XFCE, it doesn't matter which of these three folders you use
Occasionally you'll come across an application which needs additional data (for example, the data files for Quake, or ROMs for an emulator). These files goes into the appdata folder. A PND program will automatically create its own subfolder within /appdata the first time it is run; then you can add files to it. More information on this is available on the [[Introduction_to_PNDs#Where_does_my_data_go.3F_How_do_I_make_files_visible_to_the_applications.3F | introduction to PNDs]] page.

== Firmware ==
For more detail about firmware, see the [[Introduction to firmware]] page.

==== Updating The Firmware ====

Updates to the firmware are currently provided as Hotfix packages, in [[Introduction to PNDs |PND]] format. Check the OpenPandora official [http://www.open-pandora.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=178&Itemid=32&lang=en support] page for the latest status. This will update any parts of the system which need to be updated. A more flexible system is planned, this should allow automatic downloading and installing of updates if you wish (but should not be expected before late in 2010.

==== Replacing the Firmware ====

There are several reasons why you might wish to take this seemingly drastic step. It is possible that the system software gets corrupted somehow (for example, a power failure whilst you are completing the 'first boot' process). Alternatively, you might wish to install a copy of the firmware on an SD card if you are experimenting with different system configurations. Regardless, the Pandora is very robust, it is always possible to download some files to the SD card, and use these to return the internal NAND to the 'factory' state without too much effort. See the [[Introduction to firmware]] page for information on how to do this.

==== Features ====
The Pandora is a mixture between a PC and a gaming console (similar to classic computers such as the Amiga). That's why it has gaming controls (ABXY buttons, d-pad, and analogue nubs). It is fast enough to emulate many other systems, run a full desktop, access the internet with Firefox and play games such as Quake III. However, it is not as big as a netbook. Believe it or not, it will fit in your pocket. It's a bit bigger than the Nintendo DS. (See Applications section of this manual to see what applications your Pandora will come with.)
Remember that your Pandora console will get better with every application installed!

== First Time Use ==
Now that you've opened the box, let's set this thing up! Place the battery inside the battery compartment on the back of the Pandora, making sure the contacts touch(the little silvery metal bits, it's easy). Snap on the battery cover and you're all set!
==== Charging ====
Charge your Pandora 8 hours before disconnecting it from the wall charger. This will improve the lifetime of your battery. To charge the Pandora, insert the power cable end in the Pandora and the other end into your wall socket.

The battery comes pre-charged at 40%, and that level might have decreased during shipping. To be on the safe side, we recommend that you charge the Pandora before you use it. Simply plug in your wall charger into an outlet, or optionally use a mini-USB cable connected to a computer or wall adapter. For extreme silliness, plug your Pandora into an ''already charged Pandora,'' and charge it from that! But not really.

==== First Boot ====
Once your Pandora is ready, turn it on. The OS will take some time to boot up for the first time (about 10 minutes, this is only for the first boot, and is normal). After it has booted, a series of settings dialogs will pop up in the shape of a "Boot Wizard" allowing you to alter your Pandora's settings to your liking.

There are a total of 3 parts to the Boot Wizard guide:
===== System configuration =====
The first thing you will have to do is to calibrate the Pandora's touch screen. Only do this if the screen isn't calibrated already.
You will have the option for touchscreen calibration the first time you boot up your Pandora console.

Note: "Calibrating the touch screen" is a term used to describe the process of matching coordinates given by the touch layer with the underlying screen. A badly calibrated screen will register your push elsewhere on the screen, perhaps half a centimeter to one side. As there are sometimes slight variations in the production of the touch layer, you the user can improve the accuracy by matching the two layers manually.

===== User setup =====
After calibrating your screen, you will have to enter your full name. This is what you will see in any user selection dialogs or when the system needs to address you, so enter whatever you are most comfortable with. Then follows your username. It is recommended to choose an all-lowercase, one-word username here, since you will have to enter this name every time you log in. Once you've entered your username, a password input dialog appears. You will have to enter the password you want to use twice here. If you don't want to have a password for your device, simply leave both fields empty. If, however, you decide to enter a password, something hard to guess and between 8 and 16 characters long is preferred.

===== Network and security settings =====
You will now have to enter a name for your Pandora. This will be the Pandora's host name, so you have two options in this situation:

# If you don't have a domain you want to connect to, simply enter any name here. It should not contain any spaces.
# If you ''do'' have a domain you want to connect to, enter a name in the form of "pandoraname.domainname.tld". Note that you may never have a use for this.

Then, you'll have to choose whether you want to automatically log in on your Pandora when it boots, or if you should be given the opportunity to log in as a different user, or enter your password. It is recommended to disable auto login if you want to protect your user data, but if you're often in a hurry, then you can enable auto login here.

The final thing you will have to choose, is whether you want to use the full desktop Xfce environment or the gaming-oriented PMenu environment as your default environment in the Pandora. It is recommended to choose Xfce here if you want to gain access to the Pandora's full potential. This option can be changed later at any point.

==== Calibrating The Touchscreen ====
The touchscreen in your new Pandora device isn't psychic! You have to tell it what to do, and in order to do that effectively, you need to calibrate it. Simply navigate to settings→screen→calibration wizard{{Verify credibility}} and follow the onscreen instructions. You may have to recalibrate the screen from time to time as well.

During the first boot wizard, you will be offered the option to calibrate the touchscreen. By default it may well work okay, but the option is there. If calibration is far off, use the keyboard to select the calibration option.

== Basic Use ==

===Pmenu===

===Desktop style environment===

====On the Desktop====

The desktop will contain icons for numerous locations (such as each mounted SD card), as well as any auto-discovered pnd-applications located on SD cards or internal NAND.

====In the menu====
On the bottom left you have your applications menu, similar to the Windows start menu. Clicking it brings up a list of all installed applications and pnd-applications in the appropriate location on your SD cards.

====Miscellaneous====
To the right may be some icons, these serve as shortcuts to commonly used applications. Next to that you have your taskbar which, as you might have guessed, lists all running applications in your current workspace. To the right of the taskbar you have your workspaces, think of these as multiple desktops. By default you have two to switch between. Applications running in one workspace will not be visible in the other, so you can effectively hide your Ms. Pacman game from your boss at work, because there's no way you're not going to go for the gold, even at work! Finally there are a few more icons that deal with TV-Out, network connectivity, etc. and some running applications may place an icon there as well. And to the right of THOSE, you have your time. Because time flies when you're using your Pandora! Badum tsh. And to the right of that, you have a little icon which, when clicked, displays all running applications.

Finally, I'd just like to reiterate this--EVERYTHING is customizable! We'll get to that section later, but for now, let's just check out the applications on your Pandora.

===Buttons===

====Xfce menu====

The Pandora button will bring up the applications menu, letting you quickly enter a search to locate an application to run or perform operations against running applications.

===Power Modes===

Without switching the device entirely off, it may be placed into low power mode or regular power mode; simply pressing the power button will toggle modes.

Consider low power mode to be akin to turning off a PDA or cellphone -- the screen is off, the CPU is clocked down and so on, but the device is still silently on, allowing for alarms to go off or it to be turned on again instantly. Regular power mode is for normal usage.

Low power mode is probably going to be used as the normal "off" for most people, with true off (device powered down entirely, unable to respond to alarms or wake up quickly) available to conserve battery power. Turning the Pandora off completely is the best option if you don't plan on using it for few weeks or longer.

Closing the lid will turn off the display but otherwise leave the device operating - handy for audio playing; turning off the display lowers power use.

The actual behaviour of buttons and events can be customized.

== Basic Linux user guide ==
New to the wonderful world of Linux? No problem! You don't need mad terminal skills to open a web browser, but it can be nice to know what you're doing once in a while.
==== The structure of the file system ====
If you're used to the file system of e.g. MS Windows, you will find that a Linux file system is rather different from what you're used to. In this section, we will go through everything you have to know in order to feel comfortable with using the Pandora's file system.
===== Basic philosophy =====
In Windows, you have multiple file system roots, called "drives", that are labeled with different letters, like "C:" or "D:". In Linux, there aren't multiple root directories, but rather just one root directory, called "/". All other directories are inside of this directory, including other drives.

===== Common directories =====
Inside of the root directory ("/") are quite a lot of other directories. Here are the most important ones:
* "/home" - This is where all of the files that are owned by all users are stored. Users do not generally have write-access to anything outside of this directory.
* "/home/username" - Here are the personal files of user "username". In this directory, you will find a directory called "Documents", "Pictures", "Desktop" etc. that correspond to that users personal directories. This directory is also called "username"'s home directory, and can be abbreviated with "~/" (if you're currently logged in as username) or "~username/".
* "/boot" - This is the directory where the Linux kernel is stored, and other files that are needed at boot time can be accessed. Do not touch this directory (You can't even do it if you wanted to)!
* "/bin", "/lib" - System binaries and libraries are stored here. Most of the terminal commands mentioned below can be found inside of "/bin". You should generally never have to touch this directory, either.
* "/usr" - Here is where you'll find programs and files installed by the user. Core applications such as the web browser, media player, and other applications that are available the first time you start your Pandora are stored here. If you decide to install anything via the "ipkg" command (covered later), this is where the files needed by those installations will end up.
* "/etc" - System-wide configuration. Should only be touched by power-users.
* "/media/*" - If you connect USB drives, SD cards or other external media, you will find that the contents of that media have been placed here.

Don't worry if this doesn't make any sense; It was thought up by bearded engineers back in the seventies. They liked the idea that everything would be in a predictable place, but this is no longer completely the case.

==== The File Manager ====
==== Killing Applications ====
==== Basic Terminal Commands ====
Note: Linux is case sensitive. This applies to filenames and directories too. "/home/me/stuff" is a different folder than "/home/me/STUFF", you can actually have both. You can have "/home/me/Stuff" too if you like, and all three are separately recognised directories.

=====Navigation=====
In the terminal, you are always in some folder. Think of it like being in a file manager: you can see the contents of the directory you're in, you can do things with those files, or you may decide to go to some other folder and continue your work there.

There are a few essential commands that are used to navigate around your system via the terminal:

* "pwd" - Print the current working directory (will print e.g. "/home/user")
* "ls" - List directory contents (similar to "Dir" in Dos, and the Linux command "dir" will actually emulate the DOS command if you want to!)
* "cd <directory name>" - Change to a different directory, eg. "cd music" or "cd /home/me/music"
* "cd .." - Go up one directory level (similar to "cd.." in Dos)
* "cd" - Go back to your home directory (similar to My Documents in Windows)
* "cd -" - Go back to the previous directory you were in (handy if you forget)

=====Controlling Running Apps=====
* "top" - View running processes (like the Task Manager in Windows) press "q" to quit
* "killall [program name] - Stops running process (use with care)

=====File Manipulation=====
* "rm <filename>" - Remove a file, eg. "rm somefile.txt" or "rm /home/me/randomfiles/somefile.txt"
* "rmdir <directory>" - Will remove a directory, but **only** if it is empty!
* "rm -r <directory>" - Will remove a directory and its contents ("-r" means recursive)
* "rm -rf <directory>" - Will remove a directory, all of its contents, without asking you first. Use with extreme care. ("-f" means force)
* "mv <original filename> <new filename>" - Moves a file to a new place, also used for renaming, eg. "mv somefile.txt somefile_backup.txt" will rename it, but "mv somefile.txt /home/me/backup/somefile.txt" will move it. This will also work for directories.
* "cp <file to copy> <new filename>" - Copy a file, eg. "cp twoweeks.txt twomonths.txt" copies into current directory, while "cp twomonths.txt /home/me/ihaveadream/twoweeks.txt" copies to another directory.
* "cp -r <directory to copy> <new directory name>" - Copy a directory and all of its contents to another location.
* "touch <new file name>" - Makes a new (empty) file
* "mkdir <new directory name>" - Makes a directory

=====Misc.=====
* "cat <filename>" - Prints the contents of a file, eg. "cat hellolo.txt"
* "clear" - Clears screen, terminal input begins at the top again
* "date" - Your friend, the terminal will tell you the date
* "cal [month] [year]" - Makes a pretty calendar, eg. "cal 12 2009" or "cal * 2010" or "cal 1 2010 > fingers_crossed.txt" sends output to file
* "history" - Gives a list of the recent commands you have run. Running !number (e.g. !15) will rerun that numbered command in the history list

History Search: Press CTRL-R. As you type, BASH will try and find the command in your recent history that most closely matches what you are typing. To get back to the prompt, press CTRL-C.

Autocompletion: Press TAB. The terminal (also called the shell) will attempt to intelligently figure out what you're trying to type. It needs something to work with however, so try pressing TAB half way through a command or location.

eg. "cd /home/me/pandora_suc" *TAB* will complete it as "cd /home/me/pandora_success" or with a filename "cat /home/me/letters/i_want_the_pandora_to_fa" *TAB* will turn into "cat /home/me/letters/i_want_the_pandora_to_fall_into_my_hands"

Directory aliases: There are some special directory names you can use to refer to a directory that would be too long to type otherwise, or that you simply don't know the name of.
* "~" - Refers to your home directory e.g. "/home/user".
* "~seconduser" - Refers to someone else's home directory.
* "." - Refers to the current directory, or the "same directory" in a path. What this means, is that if you type "cd .", nothing will happen since you already are in ".", and if you type "cd somedir/././././././.", you will simply go to "somedir", since the "."-directories that come after it are the "same directory" as the one before them.
* ".." - Refers to the directory in which the current directory is, or the "parent directory" in a path. If you type "cd .." you will come to the parent directory of your current directory, and if you type "cd s1/s2/s3/../../..", nothing will happen, since the path you specified cancels itself out.

== Applications ==

Many applications will come preinstalled into the internal NAND; these will be regular Linux applications (not packaged into pnd files, since they do not need to be redistributed to anyone.)

Additional applications may be found as pnd-files (see below, a packaged up single file representing an entire application) or as regular Linux files (an application likely being made up of many files and possibly needing installation.)

==== What Is Included? ====
* Ångström Linux: Lightweight beautiful Linux-based operating system for the Pandora.
* Xfce: A full featured window manager for Linux.
* Midori: A full features web browser, designed to be lighter and faster than a full desktop style browser.
* Lightweight office utilities including Abiword, Gnumeric, and ClawsMail.
{{Volume needed}}

==== Where Can I Get More Apps? ====
There are many ways to get more applications onto your Pandora.

*The easiest way is to browse the [[Pandora App Store]], where you can download a selection of free or commercial applications. To download, navigate to an app, pay for it if you must, and hit the 'download' button. Select where you want to save it, and you're done!

*There is the good ol' [http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/pandora.cgi Pandora File Archive].

*There are nice repositories, such as the [http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo Angstrom ARM Repository], or...

*The Pandora includes the package manager [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipkg ipkg].

*Also, people may upload their apps to weird crevices in the net, so be on the lookout! (or use a search engine)

<div style="border-top:1px solid gray; border-bottom:1px solid gray; padding-top:5px; padding-bottom:5px; margin-bottom:20px">     ''Note: Pandora's internal memory (NAND) will be at close to capacity when you receive your Pandora. All new programs should be installed to SD card. Downloads from the Angstrom Repo, or use of the Ipkg package manager, should only be done by advanced users or when instructed by Open Pandora Ltd (for example, firmware updates).''</div>

== Introduction To .PNDs ==
==== What Are .PNDs? ====

A .pnd ("pandora") file is an application (game, word processor, emulator, whatever.) More accurately, it is a full application bundled up into a single file; think of it like a zip, with a relatively well defined internal structure.

The pnd-file system was designed so you could use an application without the hassle of installation or uninstallation, or even having to organize it yourself if you don't want to. You just download or obtain the pnd-file, and use it.

If you remember classic computers such as the Amiga - where you inserted a disk and then launched the applications read by Workbench (the Amiga's operating system) - then this is similar: when you insert an SD card into one of the two slots, the (Linux based) Pandora OS will scan it for your PND program files. Any program it finds will either turn up on the desktop or the application menu (just like in Windows).

More details can be found in the "libpnd hub" part of the wiki, but that is more oriented to techies and developers.

==== How do I run a PND-application? ====

Put your pnd-files in your SD (see below for some suggestions where.)

A pnd-file is usually invoked in one of the following ways

* browse to the file using the directory browser, and click to run it. (.pnd files are file-associated to another program, pnd_run which knows how to run them.) This lets you organize pnd-files in directories of your choice on the device NAND or SD.

* in PMenu, the applications will be shown by name; you can just select and run them from the menu

* for pnd-files placed into /pandora/menu on SD, the application will be shown in the Start menu on the device; use your stylus or buttons to invoke it

* for pnd-files placed into /pandora/desktop or /pandora/apps on SD, they will show up automatically on your desktop; invoke them with the stylus, your finger, or controls as you see fit

==== Where Do .PNDs Go? ====

Put .pnd-files into specific directories if you want them to show up in the Start menu or on your Pandora desktop, or in Pmenu.

You can put them anywhere you like in internal NAND or SD, if you wish to organize them yourself and launch them with taps.

/pandora/desktop -> pnd files show up on the desktop

/pandora/menu -> show up in the Applications menu (by the developers suggested categories.)

/pandora/apps -> show up in the desktop, and in Pmenu

These locations are not written in stone. The "libpnd" config files are in /etc/pandora/conf in the NAND. Generally you will never need to alter these files, but you certainly can if you wish. In theory, obliterating the files will still leave the system working, and they are easily restored. One file, /etc/pandora/conf/desktop defines the "search paths" to look for .pnd files, and where to put ".desktop" files when they are found. The searchpaths says where to find them (such as /pandora/desktop), and where to put the application link - /usr/share/applications is where the menu items are pulled from. IF you wish to put pnd files somewhere not in the searchpath, just add the directory to the search-path and you're good to go.

==== Where does my data go? How do I make files visible to the applications? ====

An application normally will see what is contained within the pnd-file, or your personal data created with the tool; it can of course look anywhere on the SD or device internal memory. For example a Quake port might expect to see extra level files in /quake, or give you a way of selecting a path to put files in.. or it might just expect it to be in your personal data folders, or in the pnd-file itself. Its up to the application, with suggestions in the pnd-guidelines for developers.

The first time a pnd-application is run, an "app data" directory is created for it; anything that app data folder contains will be visible to the application as if it was in the pnd-file (and in fact, this lets you override files in the pnd-file without modifying the .pnd itself, which could be handy.) If your app creates a file "foo", it'll show up in /pandora/appdata/appname-id as "foo". The actual appdata folder name depends on the name used by the developer, but should generally look like application-name and some funny number afterwards. It should be easy to spot.

ex: Quake 1 will probably put score or save data in /pandora/appdata/quake1-123/ or somesuch.

It will always be helpful to read the description or readme file included.

===== Q: How do I make ROMs available to an emulator? =====

For something like ROMs, hopefully a developer consensus will lead either to a canonical location, or a convention of having a directory picker or browser present, so that ROMs can be stored in SD locations of your choice; doesn't strike me as something that should be in a pnd-file, or to be pretended to be in a pnd-file with appdata tricks.

===== Q: How do I make pak-files available to Quake? =====

For some add-ons or data needed for a game, the developer may require it to be 'in the main application path'; as mentioned above, just drop it into the appdata folder and the app will just see it.

==== More Info About .PNDs ====
Visit [[libpnd_hub]] for more information!
== Configuration ==
==== Updating The Firmware ====

Given a working firmware, you might wish to patch it with official Open Pandora patches; you might also wish to just grab an application from the Angstrom repository, say.

In both of these cases, an ipk file will be made available. (In the future, an automated system may offer to patch up your device or auto-download patches. TBD.)

An ipk file is a compressed installable package.

It should be easily used, but from the Terminal if you wish to manually apply an ipk to patch the firmware, install or update an Angstrom application, it is simple: '''opkg install foo.ipk'''

==== Replacing the Firmware ====

Rather than patch the firmware, the firmware may be replaced wholesale with a freshly downloaded firmware.

==== Booting a Firmware from SD ====

The hardware is capable of booting entirely from SD; if the device is bricked or otherwise has a blank NAND, this could be an option. furthermore you're able to try out alternative operating systems without needing to reinstall your primary operating system.

Steps include:

* Preparing the SD card(s)
* Setting up the firmware on the SD card

=====Preparing the SD card=====

There are two main approaches:

* Setting up the firmware on on SD card (meaning you need two partitions - a boot partition, and a firmware partition), and
* Setting things up across two SD cards - meaning you boot from one SD card, and have the firmware on the other.

Operating from one SD card provides you the option of still being able to use the other; operating across two cards provides you he option to have a regular boot-SD, and flip between multiple other SDs for the actual firmware, should you wish to cycle between many operating systems (say.)

The boot partition generally must be FAT32, and then the kernel, MLO and other files need to be unpacked upon it.

The firmware partition must be either ext2fs or ext3fs; under Linux, such a partition can be easily created:

'''mkfs.ext2 -L LABELNAME /dev/mmcblk0p2'''
- assuming LABELNAME for the partition
- assuming /dev/mmcblk0p2 for your SD device; you'd better check this carefully ;)

Fear not, young netizen! Your Pandora was designed to be unbrickable, so unless you used the ancient art of alchemy to physically turn your Pandora into a brick (or you just broke the hardware inside), you should be okay!

Table looks good OrR. For the modems, I marked drivers as "not needed", because DJWillis confirmed this in his blog. I've also added two columns: Tested in Linux, and Tested on Pandora. This allows us to add products that we're 99% sure will work, before we can test them ourselves on Pandora. The Apple Ethernet adapter is one such example... there have been a few people asking about these, and it looks to be the perfect device.

I’ve also added a (very) general section for OTG adapters, hubs etc. Even though compatibility issues with these are very unlikely (making them a little out of place on a compatibility page), it’s handy to point people here for their adapters etc rather than continually post links on the forums. Think of it as a “recommended for Pandora” section.

^ Gruso

<br><br>28-10-09: The OTG adapter compatibility table was recently changed from "generic, untested" to "Nokia, tested". However the links still pointed to generic adapters on eBay and Amazon. I've restored the first row to "generic, untested" and added a second row for the Nokia. The Nokia info still needs to be verified (was a particular model tested on Pandora or Beagleboard hardware?) and a link provided. - Gruso

Gruso:

Numptyphysics is shown here: http://amethyst.openembedded.net/~koen/narcissus/
Seems to be supported already - Didn't test it yet though

----

The last Carrier Instant Messenger SVN change was 2 month ago, do we really need that? Isn't Pidgin enough? We should have some sort of priority system because I have the feeling that some games and apps are just added here to have a bigger list - no matter what quality the entries are. Personally I know a lot of people who use Pidgin, no-one seems to have used Carrier yet. --JayFoxRox
:Well, I use Carrier. It was created because Pidgin had( has) an annoying feature that the developers in charge refused to make optional. They generally keep up with Pidgin versions, although it's one version behind at the moment. As I understand it, this is basically a list of ''portable'' apps that are wanted by at least one person from the Pandora community. It would be problematic making a "priority system". The point, I think, is for the devs to just scroll around and see if there's anything that they'd like to port. I guess one way to make a "priority system" is to have some kind of voting or something... in which case, a developer can choose some apps from here and start a poll on the GP32X forums to see which is most popular.

Does anyone know why GemRB [http://pandorawiki.org/index.php?title=Port_Requests&diff=1356&oldid=1354 was removed]? [[User:Esn|Esn]] 05:29, 7 June 2009 (CEST)

Just had a poke around, turns out GemRB is now a WIP courtesy of Adventus. ;-) We need to (somehow) encourage people to use the Summary box when making changes! [[User:Gruso|Gruso]] 23:27, 7 June 2009 (CEST)
