 Yes.
 
  Any clue on this?
 
 Can you measure the power consumption please? With and without GSM.

After changing u-boot with qi, battery standby time is far better.
It seems gennady's u-boot still have some bugs...

Thanks you all for the help

For these tests I flashed Qi from qtmoko repositories, so we can discard any 
problem with u-boot.

GSM on:

On battery and display at 80% [1] brightness:   ~200-210 mA
On battery and display dimmed:  ~130-135 mA
On battery and display off: ~120-130 mA 
On resume:  
~12-18 mA

Being timeouts configured as:
Dim:1 m
Display off:3 m
Suspend:5 m

And using this script:

while true; do echo `date` `cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now` 
/var/log/power.log; sleep 5; done

This is the output of script in a full cycle (only pasting changes in 
current_now values)

Is it normal so little difference (~10mA) between dimmed display and powered 
off display?

Now, I want to do tests with GSM powered off. For this, is it enough if I boot 
without inserted SIM card?

I asked this before Timo's answer. Now I know I can read it from current_now

As you say, it would be better to have charge_now, but by the moment this is

 Now, I want to do tests with GSM powered off. For this, is it enough if I
 boot without inserted SIM card?

I answer myself. Booting without SIM card does no change power consumption at 
all, so it seems qtmoko powers on GSM with or without SIM inserted.

So I've made as suggested by gennady in bug report:

cd /sys/bus/platform/devices
echo 1  gta02-pm-gsm.0/power_on
echo 0  gta02-pm-gsm.0/power_on

And now I can see a difference in power consumption, BUT it seems qtmoko won't 
suspend if you poweroff GSM :(

GSM off:
 
On battery and display at 80% [1] brightness:   197 mA
On battery and display dimmed:  123 mA
On battery and display off: 117 mA
On resume:  
?? mA

There are almost not deviations in power consumption with GSM powered off, 
which I suppose is normal. 

Being timeouts configured as:
Dim:1 m
Display off:3 m
Suspend:5 m

And using the same script as before

This is the output of script in a full cycle (only pasting changes in
 current_now values)

 The trac ticket you are reffering to has commands how to do it. Besides
 QtMoko has the information about current consumption on the home screen
 (near the lightning icon e.g. 300/12mA which means 300mA now, 12mA in last
 suspend). And finally you can even read the current_now sysfs file.

I'm trying with

#!/bin/sh
while true
do
 cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/current_now /var/log/power.log
 sleep 1
done

but if running the script, qtmoko won't enter suspend

And I'm wondering, if suspended, it won't log anything, won't it?

Sorry if an obvious question, but how can I measure suspended current draw?

btw, I'm using latest gennady's u-boot, and it seems to still poweron gps...

Bye SHR, hello QTMoko (and battery life)

2012-10-03 Thread David Garabana Barro
Hi

I've finally gave up with SHR. Around 2010 June-July, I had a mostly stable 
daily phone, rock solid gps, really great battery life (#1024 fixed, 3-4 days 
standby time), and I was very very happy. 

But since then, my sd card sttoped working realibly, my phone doesn't wake up 
from suspend, gps intermitently fails, and I cannot say about battery life, 
because it's almost impossible to last 1 day without a freeze...
In late 2011 I had a baby, and I left Neo unused for a while. I had no time to 
fight with so many problems. I was using a dumb phone as my daily phone, and 
giving all my time to my baby :)

Now I want to use FR again, and give qtmoko a chance.
I'm really surprised with the state of all functions. Almost everything works 
flawlessly, new theme is AMAZING, I can even use my own WPA2 home wifi. Last 
time I got it working with neo was with FDOM (LOOONG time ago). SD card works 
again (I'm booting qtmoko from sd card, so I can say it works completely 
stable).

I'm very happy... but with battery life. Usually I get only about 12 hours 
standby time, and many less if I use it a little.

My Neo is #1024 fixed, I have activated deep sleep both in neocontrol and in 
/opt/qtmoko/etc/default/Trolltech/Modem.conf [1]

I've read about http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket//2349, but it should be 
fixed in qtmoko's 2.6.34, isn't it?

Any clue on this?
Is this standby time normal for this version?
What is your standby time?


P.S. I have two brand new batteries, so you can discard a broken battery...

 Hi,
 QtMoko v45 is out now. You can get images for GTA02 (Freerunner) here[1]
 and GTA04 (Phoenux) here[2].
 
 For more info about QtMoko please visit our homepage [3].
 
 This is list of changes since previous v44 version:
 
   * fixed wifi password not saving problem
   * new big transparent keyboard
   * GTA04 has new 3.4 kernel thanks to Neil Brown
   * GTA04 has now vibra motor support
   * show atmospheric pressure on home screen on GTA04 (Neil Jerram)
   * removed all other input methods from build
   * display wifi icon in title bar
   * run ping on default DNS when wifi icon is clicked
   * gps icon in title bar with number of satellites and fix indicator
   * gps has now api for number of satellites
   * gps plugin for GTA04 now makes gps always enabled
   * GTA04 charge indicator is polling battery every 30s
   * GTA02 gps - checking for ntpserver available with ping (Jiri Pinkava)
   * qterminal can now run scripts using setDocument() api method
   * scripts for powering on/off modem on GTA04A04
   * charging udev rules for GTA04 (Neil Brown)
   * options to boot from all mmc partitions in shutdown ui
   * build fixes and various code improvements (Yann Dirson)
   * added new freecell game
 
 Probably most noticeable is new keyboard. It has two layouts - one suitable
 for terminal and one for SMS. They look like this:
 
   http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/screenshots/abc.png
   http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/screenshots/qwerty.png
 
 Layouts are completely customizable. You can easily change key size,
 position, background. It's very easy to add international characters and
 new layouts. Just have a look at /opt/qtmoko/etc/im/svgkbd/ The layouts
 are normal svg images. You can use inkscape to open and edit them. It
 should be very clear what to do. Only thing to explain is how you should
 name the key XML elements. In Inkscape go to Edit-XML editor and click on
 key. The element name must be in form:
 
   key_QtKeycode_unicode
 
 For possible QtKeycode values check this link[4] and for unicode values use
 your favourite unicode character map.
 
 Please not that my layouts are just very simple. If you manage to create
 better ones i will be glad to replace them. I can also make your national
 keyboards variants easily installable from qtmoko apps page.
 
 As for the other changes - you can now make clickable elements in themes
 that launch scripts in qterminal. So e.g. you can have icon on homescreen
 with your favourite script. For example how to do it check what happens
 when you click the new wifi icon in finxi theme (search for setDocument
 string here [5]).
 
 Another nice thing is atmospheric pressure indicator on GTA04 homescreen or
 number of gps sattelites/fix indicator on title bar.
 
 One more is freecell game - you can now waste a lot of time here :)
 
 GTA04 owners can now enjoy latest 3.4 kernel thanks to Neil Brown's amazing
 kernel work. I have been running this kernel for several days and all works
 perfectly. No regressions were spotted. Many thanks for this Neil.
 
 Thanks also everyone for their support and work.
 
 Enjoy the release!

I know you can convert them from inside omgps, but that way you have to

 Hi, David,
  
 Yes, splash should work, as reported by someone few months ago. Splash
 simple copied from special flash partition into framebuffer, yes with
 the line you pointed. So, it should contain zipped raw image data in
 16bit rgb format, 480x640. But frankly speaking i never tried using
 splash. And yes again, just uncomment that line

Gennady

As you probably know, I had to stop using u-boot because gps not being stable 
and crashing on suspend/resume cycles.
Your patch to u-boot and kernel solved my GPS problems.

But I had to go with Qi again, because I was suffering for the same sympthoms 
with GSM in SHR.
With Qi, GSM was stable, and resistered suspend cycles with no trouble. With 
u-boot after a random number of suspend/resumes, it crashed.

Some days ago, I decided to try u-boot+ubi SHR image with your sample u-boot 
configuration. GSM just worked flawlessly in SHR for these days , and I though 
it was due to any change in FSO and/or kernel.

But yesterday it started to fail again.

It's going to sound crazy, but I think it's due to u-boot splash!

Since I flashed new configuration with splash yesterday, I lose gsm after some 
suspend/resume cycles. This morning I deactivated splash again, and gsm is 
stable again.

 Have you put the logo to splash partition at all?

Yes, and it was shown with older u-boot.

Is it different with gennady's u-boot?

 Hello
 
 Gennady, using your u-boot, openmoko's logo is not shown just after
 pressing poweron. It just show noise on the screen.
 
 Is this normal?

Forget about it

It was only that in Gennady's example configuration [1] splashimage variable 
was not defined:

splashimage=

It must be this one:

splashimage=nand read.e 0x3200 splash 0x5000; unzip 0x3200 0x880

for splash to be shown

Thanks anyway

qtmoko v31 rtc

Hi

Does anyone knows if finally this [1] patch was applied to debian kernel?

I cannot set rtc, time is lost in every suspend/restart. The same sympthoms as

I know I could boot another distro and reset rtc, but I didn't wanted to erase 
my qtmoko installation in NAND, and I cannot boot any distro from my uSD

 I just described why that kernel message appears, wants lzo - no lzo
 module - no mount - panic.
 
 Most probably David just did some mistake flashing Qi, kernel or rootfs.
 He should first just recheck everything. Othewise for me only

Thank you Gennady and Ivan!

I've just flashed u-boot-env again, with Gennady's uboot and Gennady's uboot 
sample environment, and now it boots.

Flashing qi again, makes the error appear again, so it seems Qi reads u-boot-
env...

Now qtomoko dies after a long suspend, but that's another history :(

I've had a lot of trouble with my Neo and uboot+suspend (lately gsm died after 
a suspend when using shr-u), so it might be uboot fault...

Hi, Gennady

I've tried to boot with non 242 uboot, and had no sucess.

Is seems kernel is not recognising me uSD partition table, that's why it 
doesn't boot.
My old friend my card doesn't work with kernel  2.6.32 :P

Thanks for the answer, anyway.

Why is uSD partition card recognised with Qi and not with uboot?

I hadn't read that thread before. So only difference with your case is that no

Hi, Radek

Could you tell me if is there any difference between qtmoko kernel and shr 
kernel?

I'm asking it because my uSD is recognised (and partitions mounted) on every 
boot without changing any kernel parameter. This is something I didn't see 
since kernel 2.6.29

I couldn't test it thoroughly yet, but I even configured swap in a uSD 
partition and haven't suffered any hang by the moment.

I'm trying qtmoko v28 in NAND with qtmoko's page Qi.

This might be also interesting for kernel developers

 No. It's the same as in the initial release (built sometime in February)
 I am not really up to date regarding the glamo timings, is it stable?
 What are the prefered settings? If you provide a patch I can add it.
 Or better yet someone should commit it to the openmoko git repository
 then I will pick it up 'automatically'.
 
 I only found:
 
   http://dos.openmoko.pl/overclock/
 
 but it seems you can change the timings at runtime too.
 
   ./memwrite $((0x4808)) $((0x1380))
 

Nop, it's no related with overclock (which is not stable for everyone).

Glamo timings are totally stable, because they are simply put at the values the 
glamo documentation says they should be.

More info:
http://www.mail-archive.com/community@lists.openmoko.org/msg60256.html

Here you have uboot patch:

http://www.bsdmn.com/openmoko/glamo/242/

And patched Qi:

http://www.mail-archive.com/community@lists.openmoko.org/msg60284.html

As it's not overclocking, and speedup is noticeable, it would be great if you 
put it by default on your Qi.

 No, i think it may cause significant performance decrease instead. But
 this just educated guess and it would be better to do some testing to
 prove this.

It's not true for me, and it's a common misunderstanding IMHO. 

For testing, simply try to download tiles at zoom level 11, for the upper 6 
zoom levels in tangoGPS. Better if you make it twice (moving on the map)

Without swap, it will catch all available memory, and FR will get really 
slow, to the limit of appearing to hang, and even sometimes oomkill will 
start killing some random process.
With swap, linux can swap unused pages (other daemon pages, not tangogps ones) 
and tangogps will continue running, and FR will be responsible. You only will 
notice some 1-4 seconds slowdown from time to time, when pages are swapped out

swap is not only for creating more memory. If FR starts to massively trashing 
pages to swap, it will really SLOW things a lot, for sure (the same is true for 
your PC)

But it will help *a lot* to have more memory available for running apps.
Think on swap as a place where put unused memory pages, and use real RAM for 
currently used apps or caching files from slow uSD

Swap will *ALLWAYS* help, but will help a lot more on a limited memory device, 
as FR

Here [1] you can read more about what I'm saying.

 I can set suspend interval here, but you have to have Neo unplugged from

Yes, when unplugged, they are set correctly.

 Yes. This patch _may_ also fix all kind of WSODs, in rotate, in
 switching to qvga, and on resume of course. We wanted to test it, but
 can't reliable reproduce that WSODs to see if they really fixed.

Without patch I had one on every suspend and on almost every reboot when using 
242 timings.
And I had it on rotate even if not using 242 timings.

I had not *any single* WSOD since I installed patched kernel.

 I doubt these images are of any use (yet). Look at the filesizes.
 They're just about 7MB, way too small for a real image.

Yes, but first one size is 67 MB.

On the thread Nelson posted minutes ago, you can see they are real, but they

When you get a WSOD (rotating screen), if you just reboot, you obtain a WSOD

You MUST halt device for getting it back to normality.

  Hi,
 
  I have a Kingston SDC4/4GB-2ADP : 4GB SHDC which shows write errors when

  the Freerunner has the problem only arise when booting from this SD
  card.
  But I've tested it latter with a USB card reader (Transcend M5) and
  found problems when random reading/writing on a partition.
  I've retried with 1MB aligned partitions and found that everything was
  going well.
 
  So aligning partition is not only a matter of performance, for some card
  it's also a requirement.
 
  To align partition with fdisk from util-linux use the following options:
 
  c  - toggle msdos compatibility flag
  u  - set unit to sectors instead of cylinder
 
  See for example:
  http://old.nabble.com/-ANNOUNCE--util-linux-ng-v2.17.1-td27685302.html

 Very interesting. I've not seen that mentioned for SD cards before. I have
 one of those that's resisted all other attempts to get it working reliably
 in a Freerunner, but the same partition table is fine when the card is in a
 usb card reader, or the SD slot on my netbook. I'll have to give this a
 try.

Yes, it's really interesting.

I've had troubles with the same Brand on FR, but the 8 GB version  (Kingston 
SDC4/8GB)
Now I'm using it on a usb key, but without partitions at all.
I think there is the key:
People use sd cards without partitions. Even Windows XP doesn't recognice 
partitions but the first one. That's why manufacturers doesn't bother to say 
that partition alignation is required.

Now I'm using a 16GB trascend on FR, without problems.

 I think that this is very unfortunate explanation. To me it looks like
 somebody said that freerunner's graphics sucks and there is no way it will

Graphics performance is better of what it seemed could be archieved at the 
beggining, but Glamo's bus slowness is not something someone said, it's a 
fact.
Also, qtopia (qtextended, qtmoko) do a lot less effects on graphics than 
enlightment, that's why it's faster.
If you turn off shadows, transparency, etc, you can get shr graphics as fast as 
qtopia.
If you don't believe me, you can try SHR's Neo Theme. You will see it's not X, 
but eyecandy what makes SHR slower than qtopia.

You can search lists archives for several threads about this matter, it was 
spoken to death.

Now i just change a few kernel config options and few line patch (thanks to 
Thomas White) and the graphics speed is very nice. In QVGA it can probably 
match iPhone or any Android device.

No, it can't, at least until we have an OpenGL driver. But it's true that using 
VGA resolution is a handicap for such a slow graphics chip, and it would be 
better QVGA for this hardware.

Fact is that glamo is a graphics decelerator. It's known that Neo1973 was 
faster than FreeRunner on graphics (even on VGA), despite of slower processor.

Re: The magic of ReiserFS

2009-11-23 Thread David Garabana Barro
O Luns, 23 de Novembro de 2009, Michael escribiu:
 I bought an 8GB micro sd card with the intention of storing
 OpenStreetMap tile for Tango GPS onto it. I could store up to zoom
 level 14, but zoom level 15 was one step too far in terms of size. I
 knew this was due to the block size of the filesystem, but even a
 block size of 512 bytes would have a lot of overhead. I had read about
 the small file performance of reiserfs, so I thought I would give it a
 try. I created a sparse file reiserfs filesystem and loopback mounted
 it and copied the files up to zoom level 15 onto it. Amazingly the
 sparse file only grew to 2.6GB while the tar file for zoom level 14
 alone was 2.5GB. I copied the sparse file onto the micro sd, inserted
 it into the Neo, and booted it with a reiserfs enabled kernel. The
 file mounted on the Neo ok and Tango GPS seemed to be able to read the
 files ok (made sure it could do it with the internet disconnected).
 I ran a du on the Maps directory and it came to 9.7GB, but reiserfs
 managed to get the storage down to 2.6GB which certainly seems like
 magic, especially since it also managed to outdo tar as well. I am
 going to see if I can get zoom level 16 onto the card as well.

Yes, I have tried to put several tangogps tiles on ext3 (before OM kernel 
supported ReiserFS), but even with minimal blocksize, overhead was too much.
You had also to raise inodes to several millions when creating the fs, and I 
ran out of inodes several times...

With ReiserFS, wasted space is minimal, thanks to tailpacking, and you forget 
about inode limits. :)

 Just bear in mind that neither of these things impact significantly on
 the Glamo bandwidth limitation, which is the thing that most seriously
 limits our graphics performance (by a HUGE margin).  And since we
 barely make use of Glamo's acceleration features, it doesn't add up to
 much of a change.  Still a step in the right direction, though.  I

I know the bandwith handicap, and I know it's not possible to improve that, but 
having free CPU time while Glamo is drawing should allow to calculate things 
(as next frames) instead of waiting glamo to finish. Shouldn't it?

Correct me if I'm wrong, I have almost no idea about graphics drivers...

 It occurred to me that the Glamo-accelerated mplayer should work a whole
 lot better with the FIFO patch, and even better still if someone made it
 use DRI/DRM.  Anyone up for an interesting project? :)

Should FIFO patch have some impact on normal (Xorg) use?

 Regarding compression, I believe lzma is already builded in the

 device if it's not much resource hungr

Both png and pbm are 1 bit images without lossy compression.
You can obtain exactly the same final image quality on both formats, but png 
will have smaller disk size.
Final result only depends on RGB-1 bit indexed conversion method used.

AFAIK png decompression is not resource hungry. Compression *IS*.

PS For minimal png archive size, you *MUST* convert image to 1 bit indexed 
palette before saving it. 
If you use greyscale, RBG or more than 1 bit palette, png will waste space 
saving palette or RBG/greyscale info.

Re: Navit - german localization causes rounding of GPS-position

2009-10-31 Thread David Garabana Barro
O Sábado, 31 de Outubro de 2009, Christian Rüb escribiu:
 Hi,
 
 I had the same problem. Also bookmarks will be saved using comma instead of
  dot a separator (locale settings). As a workaround I unset LC_ALL before
  starting navit (i.e. Exec=unset LC_ALL; navit in
  /usr/share/applications/navit.desktop). That way your LANG variable keeps
  set to de_DE.UTF-8, but locale settings are not in German...
 
 I posted this in navit ML back in July - but no response if this is
  intended or a bug :(

At least is't sure it's a known bug/feature:

 I personally belive that the gta02-core project is a wonderful idea and
 that Openmoko Inc should have done it that way from the start. So in terms
 of openness and freedom this is a big step forward and I hope we will
 eventually see a gta03 (even a gta02 without glamo as the current plan is
 should improve graphic performance as you previously explained).

+1

 Besides there are no real alternatives which provides the same kind of
 openess.

 So all in all I think we should focus on getting the best out of our
 current open platform this will at the same time guarantee that it will be
 lightening fast on a newer device.

Re: Tango-GPS, omgps: download maps?

 Hi,

 is it possible to download the map-tiles for offline use? I know that
 the apps can download the current maps, but doing this via gprs is too
 expansive for me.

I do it from tangogps:

-Neo connected to internet via USB/wifi
-Open TangoGPS
-Zoom level 11, center on the zone you want to download
- tap anywhere on the map
- On the menu, select Map Download- +6 zoom levels
- Tangogps will download all tiles for 17 zoom 11 and will place them 
on ~/Maps/OSM

You can do the same for zoom levels  11.

Then you can use them from omgps, Advanced Geocaching, etc...

You can even install tangogps on your PC, follow the same procedure, and then 
copy ~/Maps/OSM to your Neo's card.
