Interactive UI
==============
Being minimalistic by its nature, Qi has very limited abilities to
interact with a user. On GTA02 the red LED and the vibrator are used
(if the battery is in good condition) to notify user of the following
actions:
The LED is turned on either on:
- Successful partition mount
- Successful kernel pull
- Successful initramfs pull
The LED is turned off and vibrator runs briefly either on:
- Fail of kernel pull
- Fail of initramfs pull
- Fail of mount partition
- Skipping of current boot possibility
The LED is turned off either on:
- Start of the kernel
- Start of the mem test
- Start of the kernel pull
- Start of the initramfs pull
If a user presses the AUX button after successful partition mount and
before start of the kernel pull (that is, while the red LED is on),
this boot possibility is skipped (and GTA02 owners can feel
vibration). If a user holds the POWER button just before start of the
kernel, debugging parameters are added to the kernel command line
and a lot of information is output to the screen.
