The ipheth wwan0 device only provides a connection over the 3G modem, even if you're connected to a wifi network. I used the iproxy and SSH tunneling method with proxychains to get to the wifi network.

====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].

===Input device===

Any HID ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_interface_device Human Interface Device]) compliant keyboard, mouse or game controller should work on the Pandora. Most of those device are low speed or full speed USB device and will need to be connected though either a USB OTG adapter/cable or a USB2 hub in order to work on the Pandora.

The ipheth wwan0 device only provides a connection over the 3G modem, even if you're connected to a wifi network. I used the iproxy and SSH tunneling method with proxychains to get to the wifi network.

====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].

USB reference

2011-03-08T13:05:20Z

Xiloynaha: /* OTG host mode */ "Start USB Network on bootup" not renamed in HF5

==Readme First!==

If you have a question to ask, that isn't covered in this FAQ already, please ask over on the [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?showforum=61 Forums].

==USB FAQ==

===How many USB ports does Pandora have?===
Pandora has two USB ports:
* 1x USB 2.0 host port (USB standard-A receptacle)
* 1x USB 1.1/2.0 OTG port (USB mini-AB receptacle)

===What does “host port” mean?===
A USB host port “hosts” any device that you plug in, just like the USB ports on your computer. Pandora’s full size USB A port can host USB 2.0 devices (only if they are '''high speed compliant'''!), and provide up to 500mA (the maximum allowed according to USB standards).

===What does “OTG” mean?===
OTG stands for On The Go. USB OTG ports can operate in two different modes. When connected through this port, the Pandora can act as a device, for example when connected to a computer for charging & data transfer. For this mode, you need a standard-A to mini-B cable. However, the Pandora can also act as a host port for USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices. For details on how to make the necessary cable connection, see [[USB_reference#OTG_host_mode|the OTG host mode section]]. This port can supply a maximum of 100mA in host mode. Although this port implements On The Go functionality, it can not get an official On The Go certification because the OTG specification requires a device to have exactly one USB port. (The Pandora has two.) Also, the mini-AB connector used on the Pandora has been taken out of the specification in 2007 (but is still widely adopted).

===What’s all this stuff about USB 1.1 and USB 2.0? Isn’t USB, uh, universal?===
USB 1.1 is a subset of the USB 2.0 protocol. Among many other things, the USB 2.0 standard introduced high-speed data transmission, which requires a special controller on the host side. Most USB ports (eg. on your computer’s motherboard, in USB hubs) actually contain '''two chips''' to allow universal compatibility – one that takes care of the Low-Speed (1.0 Mbit/s) and Full-Speed (12 Mbit/s) devices, and another one for the Hi-Speed (480 Mbit/s) devices. The reason is that Low-Speed and Full-Speed are essentially the same protocols operated at different clock frequencies. Hi-Speed is a completely new development and nothing like the other two.

For reasons beyond our control, Pandora’s USB standard-A host port does not contain this second chip. Only USB 2.0 devices bearing the “USB HI-SPEED” logo can be plugged directly into this port. However, USB 1.1 devices can be connected to this port through a USB hub, provided the hub bears the “USB HI-SPEED” logo.

Pandora’s USB OTG (mini-AB) port is fully compatible with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0, allowing it to host either type of device.

===So which devices are which?===
[[Image:USB-HighSpeed-certified-Logo.png|thumb|alt=USB High Speed Certified logo|Devices bearing this logo are certified High Speed devices. They can be plugged directly into Pandora's USB 2.0 host port.]]
There are no set rules. As a very general guide:
* Common Low-Speed and Full-Speed devices include keyboards, mice, headsets, older USB devices.
* Common Hi-Speed devices include cameras, PMPs, HDDs, hubs, card readers, thumb drives.
This is just a rough representation of what’s out there in the wild, and you will find exceptions. Devices like HSDPA modems and GPS units could fall into either category. The only reliable indication of true Hi-Speed compatibility is the “USB Hi-Speed Certified” logo (right).

===Arrgh, USB used to be simple. What can I actually connect to Pandora?===
Almost anything, as long as it's supported by Linux. Think of a USB device that everybody uses (mouse, keyboard, thumb drive...) and chances are it will be a simple matter of plug and play. But this might not be the case for more specialised USB devices (modems, ethernet adapters, USB displays...), many of which will only function with Windows specific drivers.

If you intend to purchase USB accessories for use with Pandora, you should first research Linux support for that type of device. Devices already tested on Pandora will be added to the [[USB compatibility list]].

The various USB connection scenarios are as follows:

==Pandora as USB slave==
[[Image:Pandora.usb.slave.png|thumb|alt=Pandora as USB slave|Pandora as USB slave]]
Using a USB standard-A to mini-B cable (the kind you probably own several of), you can:
* Transfer data to/from Pandora
* Charge Pandora's battery.

'''Note:'''
* Charging Pandora from your computer's USB port is best done with Pandora in standby mode. The current provided by your computer will probably not be sufficient to provide a quick charge while Pandora is being used.
* There are USB standard-A to mini-B cables that can be used to charge your Pandora but don't work to transfer data to/ from the Pandora! MSWindows will complain abount "An unknown device connected". Try using a different cable.

==Hosting USB devices==
[[Image:Pandora.usb.host.png|thumb|alt=Pandora as a USB host|Pandora as a USB host]]
*Directly plug in a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device such as a thumb drive, or a Huawei E160 modem.
*Using a USB standard-A to USB standard-B (or mini-B, micro-B, depending on what's on the device) cable, connect Hi-Speed USB 2.0 devices such as cameras, PMPs, and HDDS.
*Connect a USB hub, which will enable you to to connect other non-Hi-Speed USB devices such as keyboards, mice, or a Huawei E220 modem.

'''Note:'''
*This port can supply a maximum of 500mA. If you plan to use a USB HDD, note that very few of these can draw sufficient power from a single USB port. A powered HDD caddy or powered USB hub will be necessary in most cases.

==OTG host mode==
[[Image:Pandora.usb.otg.host.png|thumb|alt=Pandora in OTG host mode|Pandora in OTG host mode]]
How you connect a device to the mini-AB OTG port depends on the device's USB connector.
*standard-B receptacle: Use a mini-A to standard-B cable.
*mini-B receptacle: Use a mini-A to mini-B cable.
*micro-B receptacle: Use a mini-A plug to standard-A receptacle adapter and a standard-A to micro-B cable.
*standard-A plug: Use a mini-A plug to standard-A receptacle adapter.
*mini-A plug: No extra cable or adapter needed.
*micro-A plug: No standardized solution exists.

This port allows you to connect any USB 2.0-compliant device (Hi-Speed, Full-Speed, Low-Speed, including USB 1.1 ones) directly, without the use of a hub.

'''Notes:'''
*mini-A and mini-AB connectors have been removed from the present USB standard. This means that the above connectors may vanish from the market at some point (although there will probably be demand for them for some time). There are a lot of connectors available that were never standardized. It is recommended that you do not use them as they may lead to non-working connections. Stick to the cables and adapters mentioned above and look for a mention of "OTG" or "On The Go" and you should be on the safe side.
*In host mode, this port can supply a maximum of 100mA. USB 1.1 devices that draw more than 100mA will need to connect to Pandora's other USB port via a hub, as depicted in the previous example. The Huawei E220 is one such device.
*If you have trouble connecting any device to the small OTG port, check if 'Setting->Startup->Enable/Disable services on boot->Start USB Network on bootup' is checked! This needs to be set in order to work. Default setting is unchecked (better naming of this option <strike>is planned for Hotfix5</strike> has not been included in HotFix 5, see [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/56516-wishlist-for-hf5/]).

'''Host mode connector'''
[[Image:Mini-usb.png|thumb|Mini-B and Mini-A comparison]]
Shown here are a Mini-B connector (left, black) and a Mini-A connector (right, white). The mini-A connector should be the one you want in order to use the OTG port in host mode. Click on the image for a larger version.

With the right connector, it is not necessary to switch the mode of the port[http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/55396-how-do-you-put-the-usb-otg-port-into-host-mode/], it will be done automatically. It may also be possible to force a mode switch, but this has not been clarified by the devs, and could result in two devices both attempting to power the port (which is not recommended)

Debian On SD

2011-03-04T13:21:28Z

Xiloynaha: beautify (typography, etc.)

= Debian On SD =
This is split into three main sections - Building from Scratch, Maintenance and Upgrades, Common Things To Do.

* Building From Scratch lets you customise everything from the outset, and lets you create your very own tailor-made distribution, rather than a pre-created one.
It does require a bit of Linux knowledge before diving in… so if unsure, ask!

* Maintenance and Upgrades covers standard Debian maintenance if you're not usually a Debian user.
It'll also (in the future) cover how to upgrade your pre-built distribution with new drivers as the official OS gets updated.

* Common/Fun Things To Do will give you ideas on what to try in your new Debian installation.
Remember, this is a full desktop OS you now have squeezed into your hands, and feel free to share your cool ideas!

If you don't want to build from scratch, you have two choices;
* Grab a Minimal Install and continue from ''[[#Desktop_Environment|Desktop Environment]]''
* Grab a full build.

The latest minimal is available here: http://www.stuckiegamez.co.uk/apps/pandora/Debian/pandora-squeeze-minimal-1.0.1.tar.gz <br />
The latest full build is available here: http://www.stuckiegamez.co.uk/apps/pandora/Debian/pandora-squeeze-1.0.1.tar.bz2

Remember to untar with permissions (include '''p''' in your arguments to tar) on to your ext2 formatted SD card.

Default user details for the full build are:
* username: '''pandora'''
* password: '''debian'''

== Changelog ==
* 1.0 - First release; libts issues, libpnd issues, overly fat with stuff.
* 1.0.1 - Documented release; libts issues persist, libpnd issues fixed, slimmed down to ~830mb.

= Building From Scratch =
This isn't for the feint of heart.. if you don't understand something - stop! Ask or read up on it before continuing. While I haven't mangled my Pandora or PC in any way from doing this, it's still possible to make a mess, so be careful!

This is split into many parts… it's advised to go through this in order.

* Getting a Minimal Install from Scratch
* Desktop Environment
* Device Drivers and PNDs
* Users and Permissions
* Reboot and Troubleshooting

== Getting a Minimal Install from Scratch ==

There are two options here:
* Linux PC
* On Pandora

=== Linux PC ===

* On a Linux PC, run debootstrap to grab the version you want. We shall be using Squeeze today:
sudo debootstrap --arch armel --foreign squeeze /tmp/pandora-debian ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian
* Grab a large SD card, and repartition it to have one large ext2 partition and format as normal.
* Copy all the files from <tt>/tmp/pandora-debian</tt> over to your new SD card partition.
* Put it in your Pandora:
sudo chroot /media/mmcblk0p1 # Assuming it's in your first slot.
/debootstrap/deboostrap --second-stage
... this takes a while...

=== Pandora ===

Alternatively, you can run cdebootstrap on the Pandora itself… this bypasses the need of doing the second-stage madness.

Grab it from here: http://packages.debian.org/sid/cdebootstrap-static and select the armel package.
Download it to /tmp preferably, but your home folder will do, or anywhere you like. For now, I shall assume you downloaded it to /tmp.
cd /tmp # Again, if you downloaded elsewhere, change to that directory instead.
ar xv cdebootstrap*.deb # We're using the archive tool to extract with verbosity our cdebootstrap package.
sudo tar -zxvf data.tar.gz -C / # Extract data to /.
Last command explanation: we're using tar to extract, with gzip support, again with verbosity, the file data.tar.gz, changing the current directory to / so that it extracts systemwide on our NAND. We're running this command sudo so we have write permissions.

Now we just run cdebootstrap-static with a few parameters, and wait:
cdebootstrap-static --allow-unauthenticated -f minimal squeeze /media/mmcblk1p1
What we're doing here, is we're allowing "unauthenticated" packages to be installed. As we don't, or probably don't, have the gnupg keychain stuff configured, all packaged will be "unauthenticated" regardless of whether they are or not. We're telling it we also want a minimal install of the squeeze release, and to install to where we have the mount point of Partition 1 of the SD card in Slot 1 - which you should have already partitioned and formatted as ext2!

This takes a while… perhaps longer than doing the first stage on the PC and second-stage on Pandora.

== Desktop Environment ==

Now you have Debian, the world is yours for the taking!
Or something like that…

Debian comes with a wide variety of desktop environments and window managers; from XFCE as you use on Angstrom by default, to KDE, GNOME, LXDE, Fluxbox, Enlightenment, etc.

Now's the time to choose one of them to install… be aware that the bigger they are, the longer they'll take to install and the more resources they will eat up while in use. Here is a rough guide from heavy to light:
* KDE
* GNOME
* Enlightenment
* XFCE
* LXDE
* Fluxbox

Having recently tested KDE myself, it doesn't quite seem to work properly, so I'd avoid that for the moment… especially as it takes about ten hours to install!

We shall install LXDE as it's a bit more light weight than XFCE and still provides a reasonable mainstream environment. While I do prefer Fluxbox overall, it's a bit of a paradigm shift to use from your standard desktop machine.

If you haven't already, chroot into your environment.
You should already be root, so we'll get on with the installing.

apt-get install lxde

This may well take an age, so go do something else in the meantime.

You may also want a login manager. Your choices are amongst XDM, GDM, KDM and SLIM to name a few. KDM is perhaps a bit heavy, whereas GDM works fairly well even though it's rather heavy too. SLIM is what you use on Pandora anyway, and XDM is rather basic but usable all the same. GDM is automatically pulled in via LXDE anyway, so we may as well just use that for now.

Once it's done, we'll start tackling the drivers.

== Device Drivers and PNDs ==

We shall tackle these one at a time, as there's quite a few of them.

* X Display Driver
* SGX Drivers
* Keymap
* Nubs
* Touchscreen
* Wifi
* Bluetooth
* Kernel and Misc Bits and Pieces
* PNDs

=== X Display Driver ===

Debian has a NEON-optimised omapfb driver. We shall use this, and pinch some configuration gubbins from Angstrom.

apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-omap3

We now need to create an xorg.conf… though it'll be rather minimal as we only really want to overload what graphics device setup it has, so:
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Module"
Load "extmod"
Load "dbe"
Disable "glx"
Disable "dri"
Load "dri2"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "DefaultLayout"
Screen "Screen0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "OMAPFB"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "800x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "OMAPFB"
Driver "omapfb"
Option "fb" "/dev/fb0"
EndSection

Most of this is pinched from the Angstrom xorg.conf minus the fb Option at the bottom, as our framebuffer has a different device node.

That should be all you need for basic X though.

=== SGX Drivers ===

Most of this has been pinched from http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#SGX_Video_Acceleration − why rewrite the wheel?

This mostly works apart from a few caveats, so I shall repeat it here for future reference and to keep all information in one place, and I've uploaded the resulting tarballs for convenience.

You can either follow the above guide − substituting the BeagleBoard for the Pandora, or use the following preconfigured packages.
cd /tmp
wget -c http://www.stuckiegamez.co.uk/apps/pandora/Debian/GFX_4_00_00_01_libs.tar.gz # ~20MB Libraries themselves.
wget -c http://www.stuckiegamez.co.uk/apps/pandora/Debian/GFX_Linux_SDK.tar.gz # ~220MB Demos and SDK gubbins.

Technically, you don't really need that fat 220MB GFX_Linux_SDK tarball unless you really want it, or want to test the libraries are in place.
I'll cover installing both anyway…

==== Libraries ====
tar -zxvf GFX_4_00_00_01_libs.tar.gz
chmod +x ./install-SGX.sh
./install-SGX.sh
rm /devmem2_0.0-0ubuntu1_armel.deb # This is particularly useless to us… and why it dumps it at root, I don't know!

That package contains ES2, ES3 and ES5 libraries… we're only really interested in ES2 (haven't tried if ES3 or ES5 would even work!) so:
cd /usr/lib
ln -s ES2.0/* .

Not hugely clean, but it works. For the brave, you could try ES3 or ES5 but… you're on your own!

==== Demos/SDK ====
cd /tmp
tar -zxvf OGLES.tar.gz
tar -zxvf OGLES2.tar.gz

You can't run anything yet (well, you might since you've chrooted in via Angstrom) so we'll leave them in /tmp for the moment − or move them elsewhere − such as /opt if you're worried about Debian wiping out /tmp on boot.

=== Keymap ===

The keymap is fun and comes in two parts − the mapping extension, and an xmodmap script.

We shall steal them from Angstrom… so open up another Terminal.
As of now, I shall prefix Angstrom commands with ''Angstrom'' and Debian commands with ''Debian'' so you know which Terminal to type them in.

''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/keymap-extension-2.6.map /media/mmcblk0p1/etc # This does assume you've got your SD card
# mounted in slot one, and with one ext2
# partition… adjust as necessary.
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/skel/.pndXmodmap /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/skel # As above.

''Debian'' nano /etc/skel/.profile

Add the following to the bottom
xmodmap ~/.pndXmodmap
whoami > /tmp/currentuser
killall -1 pndnotifyd &

Should probably copy more over but, this'll do for now.
Need to figure out why .xinitrc isn't even being looked at for some reason… this works for now though.

=== Nubs ===

The nubs just require some more config stuff to be copied over, and a few rc scripts to be setup right.

''Angstrom'' sudo cp -R /etc/pandora /media/mmcblk0p1/etc
This also copies over configurations for the LCD backlight, some pmenu and mmenu stuff, and some PND configuration bits.

Pandora-state restores nubs and backlight settings, as well as saves them on exit:
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/init.d/pandora-state /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/init.d

Configuration utils come in with the PND installation below.

=== Touchscreen ===

Currently, there's a few issues with the touchscreen − it'll cause X to go mad and chew through 100% CPU as soon as you touch it.
However, it's still usable so we'll add in the libraries and configure it anyway.
''Debian'' apt-get install libxcb-dri2-0 xserver-xorg-input-tslib libts-bin
''Debian'' nano /etc/profile.d/tslib.sh

#!/bin/sh
TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event5
TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE TSLIB_CONFFILE

Some programs may look for /dev/input/touchscreen0… so we'll set that up too.

We'll do the rest of it on First Boot.
There's an evtouch library… haven't looked at that yet but it may work better?

=== Wi-Fi ===
Wifi is fun_ most of it will come in the kernel and modules/firmware pack when we get to it, but there's some ancillary scripts and things that lay in wait to catch you off guard!
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/init.d/wl1251-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/init.d
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /lib/udev/rules.d/50-compat_firmware.rules /media/mmcblk0p1/lib/udev/rules.d
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /lib/udev/rules.d/compat_firmware.sh /media/mmcblk0p1/lib/udev/rules.d

The wl1251-init script uses busybox. While you could edit the script and remove the dependency on busybox, it's probably better to just install busybox so that there are less changes to deal with - seeing as it's only about 600kB.
''Debian'' apt-get install busybox

While we don't necessarily need Network Manager, it's a damn sight more easier to use than battering iwconfig et al from the Terminal:
''Debian'' apt-get install network-manager-gnome
This'll take a long time as it pulls in quite a lot of stuff…

=== Bluetooth ===
Don't really have any bluetooth devices to test… though I could try tethering my phone by bluetooth…

=== Kernel and Misc Bits and Pieces ===
The kernel ''should'' be easy… grabbing a fresh set would've been advisable, but this doesn't seem to come with everything so we'll steal from our running system again.

''Angstrom'' sudo cp -R /lib/modules/2.6.27.46-omap1 /media/mmcblk0p1/lib/modules
''Angstrom'' sudo cp -R /lib/firmware /media/mmcblk0p1/lib/firmare
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /boot/uImage /media/mmcblk0p1/boot/uImage

That's essentially the kernel setup… we'll cover the boot script later.

==== RC Scripts ====
There's quite a number of RC scripts kicking about… we'll nick most of them from Angstrom again and deal with them one state at a time.

===== rc0.d =====
sudo cp /etc/rc0.d/K05led-config /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc0.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc0.d/K31pandora-state /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc0.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc0.d/K40pndevmapperd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc0.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc0.d/K40pndnotifyd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc0.d/

===== rc1.d =====
sudo cp /etc/rc1.d/K05led-config /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc1.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc1.d/K31pandora-state /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc1.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc1.d/K40pndevmapperd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc1.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc1.d/K40pndnotifyd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc1.d/

===== rc2.d =====
sudo cp /etc/rc2.d/S05led-config /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc2.d/

oprun-init scripts live here too, but you're probably not going to want them!

===== rc3.d =====
sudo cp /etc/rc3.d/S05led-config /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc3.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc3.d/S30pndevmapperd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc3.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc3.d/S30pndnotifyd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc3.d/

oprun-init scripts live here too, but you're probably not going to want them!

===== rc4.d =====
sudo cp /etc/rc4.d/S05led-config /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc4.d/

oprun-init scripts live here too, but you're probably not going to want them!

===== rc5.d =====
sudo cp /etc/rc5.d/S05led-config /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc5.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc5.d/S30pndevmapperd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc5.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc5.d/S30pndnotifyd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc5.d/

oprun-init scripts live here too, but you're probably not going to want them!

===== rc6.d =====
sudo cp /etc/rc6.d/K05led-config /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc6.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc6.d/K31pandora-state /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc6.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc6.d/K40pndevmapperd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc6.d/
sudo cp /etc/rc6.d/K40pndnotifyd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rc6.d/

===== rcS.d =====
sudo cp /etc/rcS.d/S39pandora-state /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/rcS.d/

You were expecting led-config again, weren't you!

==== Battery Monitor ====
You'll likely want to know how much battery power you have!
''Debian'' apt-get install apmd

==== Misc Init Scripts and Things====
There are a few random init scripts we need for things:
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/init.d/led-config /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/init.d # Configure the LEDs properly.
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/init.d/usb-gadget /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/init.d # For initializing the usb gadget device
# (g_cdc for USB networking, for instance).
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /usr/bin/usb-gadget /media/mmcblk0p1/usr/bin
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/profile.d/op_env.sh /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/profile.d # Effectively just tells SDL to use tslib driver.
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/default/leds /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/default
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/default/usb-gadget /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/default

And some more stuff to install in Debian:
''Debian'' apt-get install libnotify-bin

=== PNDs ===
There are some init scripts you need for the PNDs to work. These are:
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/init.d/pndevmapperd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/init.d
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/init.d/pndnotifyd-init /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/init.d
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /usr/bin/pnd* /media/mmcblk0p1/usr/bin # There are a few pnd binaries, these include
# pnd_info, pnd_run, pndevmapperd and pndnotifyd.
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /usr/lib/libpnd.so.1.0.1 /media/mmcblk0p1/usr/lib # Obviously nothing'll work without the pnd libraries!

There are a bunch of scripts and PNDs hiding in /usr/pandora… we may as well grab them over as well.
''Angstrom'' sudo cp -R /usr/pandora /media/mmcblk0p1/usr

We need to do a symlink to the library properly now…
''Debian'' ln -s /usr/lib/libpnd.so.1.0.1 /usr/lib/libpnd.so.1
''Debian'' rm -rf /usr/pandora/mmenu
The files in <tt>/usr/pandora/mmenu</tt> are just PNDs that call the programs installed in Angstrom from MiniMenu. We don't have these programs installed on Debian so, they're useless to us.

== Users and Permissions ==

You may be wondering why users haven't been done till the very end… we've edited the /etc/skel setup which will be used to create your user details.

If you have already jumped the gun and created a user previously, all changes we've done to /etc/skel will need to be mirrored in your home folder!

''Debian'' adduser <username> # Oviously, replace <username> with what you want; for example ''adduser pandora''.

One interesting thing I've noticed happens, is sometimes it'll happily create your user… then not give you full permissions to your own folder… so let's beat it a bit.
''Debian'' chown -R <username>:<username> /home/<username> # Replacing <username> with your actual username;
# for example ''chown pandora:pandora /home/pandora''

You'll probably want to use sudo, which will require you to be in the wheel group, which we are about to create:
''Debian'' groupadd wheel

There's also few groups you'd want to be in, so we'll do that now.
''Debian'' usermod -a -G wheel <username> # You know the drill now… example; ''usermod -a -G wheel pandora''
''Debian'' usermod -a -G adm <username>
''Debian'' usermod -a -G audio <username>
''Debian'' usermod -a -G video <username>
''Debian'' usermod -a -G plugdev <username>
''Debian'' usermod -a -G users <username>

Technically, you could've done all this in the one line with adduser, but I'd rather keep it all separate so that if we end up with extra groups, we all know how to add them.

Angstrom also uses a netdev group… not sure what creates that or what it's for… ignoring for now as it doesn't exist on stock Debian.

There's a bunch of sudoers rules that are hidden as well that we need to steal (I completely missed these twice − my thanks to sebt3 and DJWillis for pointing me to them! I thought the #includedir line was commented out due to the # … *facepalm*)
''Angstrom'' sudo cp /etc/sudoers.d/* /media/mmcblk0p1/etc/sudoers.d/

Finally, /tmp can sometimes go mad so we shall fix that just now too.
''Debian'' chmod a+w /tmp

== Reboot and Troubleshooting ==

=== auto/boot.txt ===

We need either an autoboot.txt or a boot.txt now or we won't be able to boot up Debian.
There's no difference between either, other than autoboot will cause the Pandora to automatically boot from SD if it finds it, whereas boot requires holding the right shoulder button as usual.
''Debian'' nano /autoboot.txt # Again, you could use boot.txt instead and press the right shoulder button during boot.

setenv bootargs debug root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootdelay=2 console=ttyS0,115200n8 vram=6272K omapfb.vram=0:3000K
ext2load mmc 0:1 0x80300000 /boot/uImage
bootm 0x80300000

All that's really left now is to reboot and catch any issues that may crop up!

=== First Boot ===

First Boot should bring you up to GDM in all it's splendour. But Wait! The touchscreen! IT IS MADNESS!

If you've a USB keyboard, you can be one step ahead and do CTRL+ALT+F1 to jump to a terminal, but we're going to assume just the Pandora so we'll carry on and login.

Once LXDE has finished loading up, press FN+ALT+F2 and type "lxterminal"
sudo su # Or ''sudo -s''
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event5
export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
ts_calibrate

Touchscreen should behave itself now.

While root (that's what sudo su does) we shall finish setting up anything that didn't take during our chroot session in Angstrom (bluetooth usually):
apt-get -f install
exit # Jump back to our user so we don't accidentally mess things up.

=== Cleanup ===

Potential clean-ups that should occur is packaging up the Pandora specific libraries and scripts into .deb files for maintenance purposes if nothing else. We can then either try and get them fed back into Debian, or provide our own Debian repo for Pandora.

The following should probably be stuffed into deb files for easier maintainability:
* libpnd
* pandora specific scripts
* SGX drivers
* kernel
* modules and firmware

= Maintenance and Upgrades =

Maintenance on Debian is very easy… it's just a case of running '''''sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade''''' from a console, or using Synaptic (see below on how to install!).

= Common/Fun Things To Do =

There's a wealth of power at your fingertips with Debian, so place your fun things to do here!

== Networking ==

Networking should work effectively the same as on Angstrom, but here's a run down of what to do anyway:
* Click the LXDE menu up.
* Click System Tools -> Toggle Wifi
* Click the Network Manager app between the process bar and the clock.
* Click your network − or select "Connect to Hidden Wireless Network" if it's not there and fill out the details.
* Fill out the keyring for your passwords to go into − so you only need to remember the one ;)
* The Network Manager icon should spin and then give you a strength bar as normal once connected.

== Synaptic ==

The original 1.0 release included Synaptic… but it's a heavy bugger and perhaps not everyone really feels the need for it, so I didn't keep it for 1.0.1
To get it back, it's simply a case of doing:
sudo apt-get update # If you haven't done so for a while (as in, days, not hours).
sudo apt-get install synaptic
Then wait for a while as it downloads and installs.

You'll find Synaptic under System Tools once it's done.

== My PND don't work, why?! ==

Generally, it'll be because of library differences… I'm still trying to figure out the best way to deal with this, but you've got the Debian armel repository at your disposal, so you should be fine for a while!

== My PNDs don't automatically display on menu/desktop, why?! ==
Not sure about this… kicking pndnotifyd seems to trigger it properly, but why it's not doing it automatically, I'm not so sure…
