[MeeGo-dev] Saving power used by WiFi
Hello. I have found link to this article in ACM Technews - newsletter pointing to interesting research sent to ACM members. It looks like power saving requires support from device and access point, but IMO it is interesting piece of research. OTOH I am not network specialists - hope this will help with MeeGo power management. Regards. How Wi-Fi Drains Your Cell Phone Technology Review (06/24/10) Simonite, Tom Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin (UTA), University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Microsoft have developed NAPman, a system that modifies the software running on Wi-Fi access points to extend cell phones' battery life. The researchers began by benchmarking how much power different cell phones need to use Wi-Fi. We found that an HTC Tilt's total power consumption increases by threefold when using Wi-Fi, says UTA's Eric Rozner. NAPman enforces a first-come, first-served approach to all data, whether it is from a device using a power saving mode or not. It also only wakes a phone to retrieve its data when that data is at the front of the queue, preventing the phone from waiting and wasting energy. The system also tracks devices that go to sleep after a fixed time so they are not sent data while asleep. Not only could we provide 70 percent energy savings compared to the conventional implementation, but NAPman is fair to background traffic, Rozner says. In one test, NAPman doubled the device's battery life from 4.7 to 10 hours. http://www.technologyreview.com/communications/25651/?a=f -- Tomasz Rybak bogom...@post.pl GPG/PGP key ID: 2AD5 9860 Fingerprint A481 824E 7DD3 9C0E C40A 488E C654 FB33 2AD5 9860 http://member.acm.org/~tomaszrybak signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
Re: [MeeGo-dev] GCC 4.5 in use for arm building since when?
In trunk, it is about mid of July. For BMC#3936, it was fixed with mentioned patch and is on the way to trunk. And specific to this bug, it is more like issue related with ARMv7, do you run into in v7 only or both in V5 and V7 in meego? Can you please described your issue in BMC#3936 also?

Hi all, I did run into some problems in running rootfs built from daily repos. Yes, I like to live dangerously. The problems seem to relate to gcc4.5 adoption at some point of time. e.g. http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3936 Could someone point me the date when new gcc was taken in use, so I could try to build a working image? It is probably announced somewhere, but I was not able to find this info. Cheers, Jyrki ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev

Hi: I am looking at developing for MeeGo and I know C/C++ is one choice. Is it possible to develop MeeGo application using Python/PyQt? thanks Mark ___ MeeGo-dev mailing list MeeGo-dev@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
Re: [MeeGo-dev] PyQt
Yes I would expect it'd be much the same way it is down for Maemo, note that you might need to download and install source versions of the tools since there might not be RPMs for that at this time. [1] http://esbox.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/installation.html [2] http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/c05693a1-265c-4c7f-a389-fc227db4c465/Maemo_5_SDK.html [3] http://www.pyside.org/downloads/ If you want the PySide bindings which are supposed to be a better, more complete version of the original Qt bindings, you need to consult the download page[3] for the PySide project. You can also attempt development inside the MeeGo SDK given you build the required dependencies there, in Maemo the packages are available from extra-devel. I hope this helps (thanks to Renato and Luca for originally posting this). Sivan On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 6:15 AM, Mark S.

Can you please point me to it? I tried installing a public rpm but that is not sufficient to configure the nfs server on MeeGo. neither, MeeGo doesn't support NFS, nor do we have the needed kernel options enabled or tools packaged. There is one quite legit use for NFS, which is general handset development. Traditionally many porters use NFS as boot medium for their boards to not constantly rewrite NAND or SD cards with system images on them, effectively speeding up their development cycles. For non-netbook configurations like handsets or development boards, modules may be considered useful to have enabled. Chances are though that board porters will just enable NFS in their kernel configurations. This doesn't mean the utils have to be there, at least in N900, we use busybox to fullfill that within a boot initrd.
