Hi,

I have an AVIC F-320BT.

My navigator is NavGate and I don't like it so,with testmode, I have successfully installed Igo Primo but I can't resolve sound issue.

If I try to play a sound from windows CE wiht a sound test program, it says "Audio error".

I tried to play a sound from sd-card in AVIC normal mode and then reboot with testmode but I can't listen IGO audio.

My question is: is there a way to enable sound from windows CE?

If I start HMIManager.exe (main exe for NavGate navi program) from windows CE I can listen NavGate audio so I think HMIManager.exe starts something such as dll or initializes some audio driver. I want to perform same actions so I can listen IGO audio but I don't know what are these windows ce operations.

Thanks in advances

 

hi, i have the same navigator, Avic-F320bt, do you know if is possible to upgrade map or install another navigator?

Edit2: With our units when they start up we have a "System Startup in Progress. Please wait." message in startup. If the system does not see the proper files/commands and the message does not go away the unit auto-reboots in approximately 5 minutes. Perhaps something similar is happening on your unit?

 

Hi,

I haven't got a reboot problem, my unit goes in suspend /standby mode, radio and backlight turned off, and it happens after 30 minutes. When it happens, I have to extract the display, insert it again and then it wakes up, and then I have to press the src button to wakes up the radio again. When it wakes up, IGO is still running in background, so it is not a reboot but a suspend / standby event.

About the builtin navigation software, it starts a process called "HMIManager.exe", it is the Main program and it is located in My Flash Disk\PRG0. HMIManager.exe starts navi.exe, tel.exe, voice.exe etc.

If this process is not in ram (I tried to change the name of IGO exe in HMIManager.exe, the device not starts, goes in a freeze mode).

So if I want to use IGO, I have to resolve the issue of suspend mode after 30 minutes, but I don't know how, I'm trying to write C code and this evening I'll try the following code where I force a power requirement for backlight and I try to simulate a mouse move,but I suspect there is some hidden process started by NandFlash that suspends the device if HMIManager is not in ram, or something like it:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <commctrl.h>
#include <winbase.h>
#include <pm.h>
#define POWER_NAME			  (DWORD)(0x00000001)
#define D0 0
#define POWER_STATE_ON		   (DWORD)(0x00010000)		// on state
#define POWER_FORCE			 (DWORD)(0x00001000)
int WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPWSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
SetPowerRequirement(L"BKL1:", D0, POWER_NAME, NULL, 0);
HANDLE hevReloadActivityTimeouts = OpenEvent(EVENT_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE,L"PowerManager/ReloadActivityTimeouts");
if (hevReloadActivityTimeouts)
{
  SetEvent(hevReloadActivityTimeouts);
  CloseHandle(hevReloadActivityTimeouts);
}
while(TRUE) {
 mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE, 100, 0, 0, 0);
 SetPowerRequirement(L"BKL1:", D0, POWER_NAME, NULL, 0);
 SystemIdleTimerReset();
 SetSystemPowerState(NULL, POWER_STATE_ON, POWER_FORCE);
 Sleep(5000);
}
return 0;
}

Hi,

yes you can upgrade maps if you know where to download them and you can install another navigator.

If you want only upgrade maps there are no issue about our unit, if you want to change navigation software we have following problems:

  1. You lose graphic menu so if you want to switch from radio to usb, you have to press SRC Button but you cannot see the actual menu and touch the icon using touch screen
  2. You lose bluetooth for now, I have to find a way to start bluetooth service
  3. After 30 minutes the unit goes in standby and you have to extract the display and insert it again

What I mean is that if you want to change navigation software you have to wait that I solve these problems.

Eam, I have found with our units it is easier to allow the system to start normally and run 3rd party programs after startup, as well as using a kill command on our ezrider process to free up memory rather then trying to start from scratch. Take a look the the "button" program (it is in Primo for Diaftia on the 1st page of this thread). It is a utility that will generate a soft button over top of whatever window you choose (for us mainmenu). Upon pressing it it can be directed to a mortscript file, and in our case it kills the ezrider process and launches Primo. It is a simple method of launching 3rd party programs and controlling certain processes. You would however have to find a way to launch the "button.exe" upon launch.

I copied over the files from Primofordiaftia3.6.rar and I see the icon. the odd thing is when I press it I get a white screen with text:

"Reset your device to store mappings"

"keypress 0000"

I'm running Diaftia and have an X910bt.

Any help would be great.

thanks.

 

Edit: Helps if you put the actual Primo files on the flash disk not just the skin files. Working now :-)

Haha, you had me stumped. Glad you got it working!

Ryar, is it possible to test Igo primo 2.0 on this?

It should be. Download Primo 2.0 from the avicnet thread (post #2) and copy all files over your current Primo. Then delete the save folder and launch.

Hello,

I have the same problem on my F730BT, I tried the mod-IDT3.0 MB-4 and without Mod (with Primo 1.2, which works well on the mod Chuck) do you have passed since then?

Hi ryar,

 

Just want to let you know that Chuck88's Mod with Primo 2.0 embedded was released. So if people has problem with the previous installation of Primo 1.2 and that they don't want or don't need to use AVICnet, you can direct them to my thread for the most up to date Primo.

 

I also provided necessary files to update the Pioneer firmware to the so-called "version 4.0" in the release.

 

Cheers!

Hi there! I was trying to download these files as they aren't included in Chuck's mod. Could you upload them again? Thanks a lot for all the work you've done here!

Hi Ryar and others,

 

I was just thinking: maby there is some win ce fm tuner program available that runs from SD? So we can navigate with primo 2.0 listen to the radio and have voice announcements.....

 

I've just looked around and found a programm PowerRadio 2.3.2.0 (just google it) but have no idea on how to get it running form SD.

 

Hope this might resolve the no soud issue.

 

Cheers Ragstar

It sounds like a good idea, I see that power radio is for HTC devices however so I am doubtful our hardware will work with this program. Honestly, 95% of the time I know where I am driving and mute the TTS anyways, the other 5% of the time I use Primo 1.0 with working TTS regardless of audio source. I guess I am happy with things and am not ambitious enough to spend anymore time on this.

For those of you who would rather launch off Diaftia's mod download the files below and copy them over "my flash disk". A small icon will appear on the top menu upon startup, simply tap it to launch Primo.

I have recently returned to the site and am glad to see it is up and running again. Thanks for all your hard work (and others).

 

Can I just confirm what I need to do to add Primo 2 to Diaftia's mod - do I need the main download and the Diaftia additional download (it says this in post #1 but not so clearly in #2 above? The link for the main download appears to be broken - is there any chance you could repost it?

 

Thanks

Did you have any luck with the downloads?They appear OK at my end.

Posted Apr 18, 2012 · 11:29 UTC#298

The link for the main download package seems to be broken. Does anyone have a mirror?

Hi they are working for me. :) But for a couple of sound files are they supposed to be SOo BIG ?
