2009-08-16 first version with austrian stuff, and focus on everyday usability
2009-08-30 now with a-gps and cellhunter

a-gps uses your GSM cellinfo to get location from cellhunter, then reads a-gps data from u-blox have fun ...

Installing

  • have at least 1,5 hours of time ready, for the whole procedure
  • have fast internet, you need to download lots of stuff
  • download exactly these versions of Om 2009 from z0ph
    1. [1] qi boot loader
    2. [2] kernel (kernöl)
    3. [3] root image


these are the original names of the files:

qi-s3c2442-1.0.2+gitr3b8513d8b3d9615ebda605de4bda18371aa3f359.udfu
fso-paroli-image-om-gta02.jffs2 (daily testing image from 16-Jun-2009 04:35   88M)
uImage-2.6.28-stable+gitr0+f19f259d3c1afde8eae53983fd19f61831927413-r3-om-gta02.bin
  • download customize pack from z0ph
    4. [4] customize pack (400 MBytes)
  • if you want it quick, you can instead download customize pack without navit maps, its much smaller
    5. [5] customize pack without maps (50 MBytes)

to download (or update!!) the austrian map file later do (you need fast internet on your neo):

cd /media/card/navit/
./get_austria.map.sh # this will download about 350 MBytes!!
  • unpack the customize pack to your SD-Card (to /media/card). my /media/card partition is type VFAT

Startup

  • boot up your neo, and let it run until paroli has logged in to your GSM net
  • then shutdown the neo (press and hold power button for a few seconds)
  • boot up your neo again, and let paroli log in to your GSM network again.

Localize for AT

  • for GOD's sake try NOT to get any phonecalls while you do this part
  • if at ANY time you get messages "Error loading Module: would you like to unload this module, bla bla" just press "yes" !!
  • if at ANY time you get messages "Fehler beim laden des Modules: möchten sie dieses Modul abschalten, bla bla" just press "yes" !!
  • now connect your neo with usb and login via ssh
  • you NEED internet on your neo for this, otherwise dependent packages can't be downloaded
  • start (as root on your neo):
cd /media/card/
./init_om2009.sh
  • this will take some time !! have coffee ready :-)

* just before this script is done, you have to comfigure E17 again. # select "Deutsch" als language (then press next) # select "paroli-serenity" as profile (then press next) # select "systemstandard" as menüs (then press next) # don't checkbox any applications in Quick Launch (then press next) * now wait for the customize script to finish

  • now start (also as root on your neo):
cd /media/card/
./do_opkg_upgrade.sh
  • hopefully no errors have occured

Test it

  • reboot your neo, and let paroli settle down and login to your GSM network
  • now navit should have austrian maps, and speak in german to you :-)
  • you can suspend/resume anytime! even when navit is speaking! yeah really, it works
  • date and time should also be correct
  • press AUX button quick and zedlock should come up, draw a big "Z" to unlock again
  • hold POWER button for 2 seconds, and neu will shutown
  • if shutdown with POWER button fails, go to illume home screen, pull down the menu and press the big red "X", a menu should appear

Test it (german)

  • Navit sollte alles in deutsch anzeigen, österreichkarten laden und vor allem der neo sollte beim laufen von Navit nicht blanken oder suspenden

Features

Installed Programs:

Cellhunter

on first start choose language (german i guess), then enter name and password. can be anything, and you really don't need to remember it later. if you can't get AGPS working where you are, just what for a GPS fix and upload that data to cellhunter. now you can instantly use it for AGPS, isn't that nice ...

GPS Off

turn gps chip off (normally you DON'T need this!!)

GPS On

turn gps chip on (normally you DON'T need this!!)

GPS rfh

refresh agps data from u-blox.com (and cellhunter), you need an account there (its free) you can confiure it in /etc/agps-online.conf
