Questa pagina fornisce le istruzioni per installare Qtopia (la versione standard, non le varianti della ASU o della QtopiaOnX11) sul telefono GTA02 (Freerunner). E' simile alla pagina Qtopia on Neo1973.

Stato corrente
L'8 Agosto2008 Qtopia ha rilasciato l'ultima immagine flash per il Neo Freerunner della FIC (gta02) contentente losnapshot di Qtopia 4.3.2 (Versione: 4.3.2-080808) dell'8 Agosto 2008 (versione GPL).
Questa immagine può realmente fare e ricevere chiamate e messaggi di testo. Riesce a leggere tutti i contatti dalla scheda SIM (cosa che l'aggiornamento della 2007.2 sembra non sia in grado di fare). Contiene applicazioni che sembrano più stabilidi quelle che si trovano sill'immagine della 2007.2. Fornisce diversi metodi per l'inserimento dei caratteri che sembrano più maturi. Non ha, comunque, un browser Web, né alcuna applicazione per il GPS.
Puoi trovare tutte le immagini di Qtopia qui.
Scarica l'immagine sopra indicata e segui queste istruzioni: Flashing the Neo FreeRunner
Opzione 2: Dual-Boot tra Qtopia e la 2007.2 (Qtopia caricato dalla card MicroSD)
Requisiti d'istallazione:
- Accesso tramite shell SSH all'immagine 2007.2 del Freerunner tramite interfaccia USB o WLAN.
- Una distribuzione anche desktop Linux (per scompattare l'immagine .jffs2, è funzionato anche usando una Ubuntu virtualizzata con VMWare)
Preparare la scheda SD
Controlla la Preparing the SD Card sezione della pagina Booting from SD per le istruzioni sul partizionamento e la formattazione. Dopo che avrai completato i passi per la "Formattazione della scheda SD", ritorna qui ed esegui i seguenti comandi:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card mkdir /media/card/boot
mkdir /media/mmcblk0p2 mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /media/mmcblk0p2
Questi ti forniranno correttamente i requisiti per l'installazione del root filesystem e del kernel come di seguito indicato.
Installing Qtopia
Unpacking the Qtopia Root Filesystem Image
Download the Qtopia FLASH image from Latest Images#Qtopia image from qtopia.net to your Linux box and extract its contents:
tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-flash-*.tgz
You should now have two files:
- uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin
- qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.jffs2
Now extract the root file system from the jffs2 using the commands found here.
Now, tar up the root filesystem:
tar czf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz -C <mountpoint> .
Where <mountpoint> is the location where the jff2 filesystem was mounted.
Installing Root Filesystem
Transfer this compressed tarball to the second partition of the MicroSD that is mounted on the FreeRunner:
scp qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz root@192.168.0.202:/media/mmcblk0p2/
Log in to your FreeRunner and unpack the root filesystem:
cd /media/mmcblk0p2 tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz rm qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz rm -f /media/mmcblk0p2/boot/*
Note: the last step removes the kernel image from the second partition. For some reason, U-Boot cannot find the uImage.bin file in the first partition if a kernel image exists in the second partition boot/ directory.
Installing Kernel
From your Linux box, rename uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin to uImage.bin and copy it to the boot directory on the first partition of the MicroSD card. Depending on the version of U-Boot you have installed, this may not work. To prevent any possible issues, copy it to the /media/card directory as well. There is plenty of room on the first partition to have uImage.bin in both locations.
mv uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin uImage.bin scp uImage.bin root@192.168.0.202:/media/card/boot/ scp uImage.bin root@192.168.0.202:/media/card/
Option 3: updating from source
NOTE: This will upgrade only opt/Qtopia directory, you should use opkg update/upgrade for the rest |
Original Qtopia images (the distribution released by Trolltech, not ASU) are rarely released as a rootfs image, but the source code is often updated. If you want to reflash your OM with the latest version of Qtopia you might build it from sources. This has been explained in this thread of the community mailing list. Summing up:
- get the latest toolchain released by trolltech: http://www.qtopia.net/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=38 and unzip it on your PC (as root)
cd / wget http://qtopia.net/downloads/neo/arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz tar xvzf arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz
- get the latest snapshot from trolltech: ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/snapshots/
- once dowloaded untar it
tar xvzf qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806.tar.gz
- make a "build" dir
mkdir build cd build
- configure and make:
../qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806/configure -device ficgta01 make
This will take some time (couple hours). Note that the option "-device ficgta01" should work for both neo and freerunner. Then:
make install
will make a root directory into build directory. That directory should be copied to /opt/Qtopia of your phone with scp. once done restart qpe or whole phone.
Booting into Qtopia
Now shutdown the FreeRunner
shutdown -h now
Log into U-Boot in the NOR Flash to boot from the MicroSD card: (instructions from Booting the Neo FreeRunner)
- Press and hold Power button
- Then while still pressing the Power button, press and hold AUX button for 5 to 8 seconds.
- A boot menu will appear.
- Press the AUX button to select "Boot from MicroSD" and then press the Power button to execute.
Qtopia should now boot.
Note: you may get a kernel panic which says that "optional features not supported". If this is the case, boot back into 2007.2 and run
umount /dev/mmcblk0p2 fsck.ext3.e2fsprogs /dev/mmcblk0p2
This will clean up the file system and clear recovery flags in ext3 that ext2 does not support, then try booting from the MicroSD again.
Internationalization
Qtopia comes with support for German and American English, and users from other countries will find that Qtopia's predictive keyboard makes writing in another language near impossible. One way to disable the predictive keyboard is to simply replace /opt/Qtopia/etc/dict/en_US/common.dawg and words.dawg with empty files (after backing them up). Qtopia normally looks in these files for words to suggest, and if it doesn't find any words that fit, it simply shows what you actually wrote.
Adding characters to the keyboard requires modifications to the source code, as described here.
