Reorganize BBeOS project structure for better maintainability
- Reorganized directory structure following open source best practices
- Created src/ directory for all source code components
- Moved build artifacts to build/ subdirectories
- Organized documentation into phases/, guides/, and api/ subdirectories
- Moved third-party code to vendor/ directory
- Moved downloads to downloads/ directory
- Updated all build scripts to reference new directory structure
- Created comprehensive PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md documentation
- Added DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md as main entry point
- Improved separation of concerns and maintainability
- Follows standard open source project conventions

# Hardware Testing Guide - BlackBerry Classic Q20
## 🔧 Prerequisites
### Required Hardware
- BlackBerry Classic Q20 device
- USB-to-serial adapter (FTDI, CP210x, or similar)
- USB cable for device connection
- Computer with Linux/Ubuntu
### Required Software
- `fastboot` and `adb` tools
- Serial terminal (minicom, screen, or similar)
- QDL tools (for EDL mode if needed)
## 📱 Device Preparation
### 1. Bootloader Access
```bash
# Check if device is unlocked
fastboot devices
# If device shows up, bootloader is accessible
# If not, we need to use EDL mode
```
### 2. Serial Console Setup
```bash
# Install serial tools
sudo apt install minicom screen
# Connect USB-to-serial adapter
# Identify device (usually /dev/ttyUSB0)
ls /dev/ttyUSB*
# Configure minicom for 115200 baud
sudo minicom -s
# Set device: /dev/ttyUSB0
# Set baud: 115200
# Set data bits: 8
# Set parity: None
# Set stop bits: 1
```
### 3. Device Boot Modes
#### Fastboot Mode
```bash
# Boot into fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
# or
# Power + Volume Down during boot
# Flash boot image
fastboot flash boot bbeos-boot.img
fastboot reboot
```
#### EDL Mode (Emergency Download)
```bash
# If fastboot not available, use EDL
# Power + Volume Up + Volume Down during boot
# Device should show as Qualcomm device
# Use QDL tools to flash
qdl --debug --storage emmc --program boot bbeos-boot.img
```
## 🧪 Testing Procedure
### 1. Initial Boot Test
```bash
# Flash boot image
./flash-boot.sh
# Monitor serial console
sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
# Expected output:
# BBeOS starting...
# BBeOS root filesystem loaded
# Welcome to BBeOS on BlackBerry Classic Q20!
# / #
```
### 2. Basic System Test
```bash
# Test basic commands
ls /
cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo
dmesg | head -20
```
### 3. Hardware Detection Test
```bash
# Check detected hardware
ls /sys/bus/
ls /sys/class/
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/devices
```
### 4. Device Tree Test
```bash
# Verify device tree
cat /proc/device-tree/compatible
ls /proc/device-tree/
```
## 🔍 Debugging
### Serial Console Issues
- Check baud rate (should be 115200)
- Verify USB-to-serial adapter compatibility
- Check device permissions (`sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0`)
### Boot Issues
- Check kernel command line parameters
- Verify device tree compatibility
- Check initramfs loading
### Hardware Issues
- Check GPIO configurations
- Verify I2C bus detection
- Check interrupt assignments
## 📊 Expected Results
### Successful Boot
- Kernel loads without errors
- Initramfs mounts successfully
- BusyBox shell starts
- Serial console responsive
### Hardware Detection
- CPU: MSM8960 detected
- Memory: 2GB RAM available
- Storage: eMMC detected
- Serial: UART console working
### Basic Functionality
- File system operations work
- Process management functional
- Device tree accessible
- Interrupt system working
## 🚨 Troubleshooting
### Device Not Detected
```bash
# Check USB connection
lsusb | grep -i qualcomm
lsusb | grep -i blackberry
# Check fastboot
fastboot devices
# Check ADB
adb devices
```
### Boot Loop
- Check kernel command line
- Verify device tree compatibility
- Check initramfs integrity
### No Serial Output
- Verify serial adapter connection
- Check baud rate settings
- Test with known working device
## 📝 Testing Checklist
- [ ] Device boots into BBeOS
- [ ] Serial console accessible
- [ ] Basic shell commands work
- [ ] Hardware detection functional
- [ ] Device tree properly loaded
- [ ] No kernel panics or errors
- [ ] System responsive to input
## 🎯 Next Steps After Testing
1. **Display Testing**: Verify framebuffer output
2. **Input Testing**: Test keyboard and trackpad
3. **Audio Testing**: Check audio codec detection
4. **Network Testing**: Test Wi-Fi/Bluetooth
5. **Power Testing**: Check battery and charging
