 A few technical questions here. Is image data constantly transferred to LCD
 from system memory (60 times per second)?

yes, since the graphics controller is embedded in the S3C2410 SoC.  The LCM
signal lines are directly attached to the S3C2410.  There is no other
graphics memory than main memory.

 If we compare it to Nokia 770, Nokia 770 has a similar design with framebuffer
 stored in the system memory with data getting transferred to graphics chip
 using DMA when needed (graphics chip has its own video memory). 

That's a significantly different design.

Also, the 770 has a landscape display.  We have a portrait display.  The
S3C2410 cannot rotate the image, so you would have to rotate every frame
in software, too!

 If video is really heavy on memory bus, is it possible to reduce refresh rate
 somewhat (to 50Hz for example) to improve performance?

There's not too much room since the minimum pixel clock frequency of the
LCM is 20MHz.  At a typical cycle of 520x648, you get 59Hz minimum
refresh rate. You could probably go all the way to extend horzontal
/vertical front/back porch, etc.   But they can only be increased a tiny
bit, the maximum values are determined by the S3C2410 register set.

 Just for some experiment, I compiled mplayer for arm920t (not using armv5te
 instructions), and benchmarked it with sdl video output (software YUV-RGB
 conversion, generic nonoptimized scaling 320x240 = 640x480) and libmad 
 mp3 audio decoder. 

Please note that the LCM we use in the Neo1973 can do hardware scaling,
e.g. theoretically you can software-reconfigure the LCM to behave as
QVGA 240x320, and then change the s3c2410_fb kernel driver timings
accordingly.  

This has not been tested or implemented by us, since we're mainly
interested in getting a high-res phone UI working right now :)

However, if somebody skilled wants to write, integrate and test code for
this, I'm happy the help.   We cannot disclose the LCM data sheet, but I
can add the software sequence for 240x320 / 480x640 switching to the
[GPL licensed] kernel LCM driver at least after phase-1 (March 11).

The S3C2410 user manual is publicly available from Samsung
Semiconductors, so basically it's up to whoever is interested to
implement it.  One interesting question is how to merge this into
X11/Kdrive... As far as I understand,  only the very latest big
(non-kdrive) X11 has randr capabilities for dynamically adding/removing
viewports and changing resolutions.

 So now the question, how does an USB hub work?
 Can we plug in the host on any port?
 
 Short form:  USB is strictly a hierarchical, tree-structured network.
 There is one host, which may connect to the upstream port on a hub;
 you can then plug in more hubs and devices downstream of the hub.
 They were very careful when writing to the standard to specify cables
 that can't plug in the wrong way:  you can only plug a host into the
 (single) upstream port on the hub.
 
 Long form:
 http://viper.cs.nmsu.edu:8000/classes/473/notes/usb.php?currentsem=s06
 
 Really long form (this is the USB 2.0 specification)
 http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/usb_20_05122006.zip
 
 The Neo1973 will have mini-USB-B
 
 normal hubs powered USB-A for the adapter 
 and one unpowerd USB-B for the host.
 
 My understanding is that it will be USB On-The-Go, 

No.  OTG is a complex specification, and it comprises way more than just
a AB socket, but also electrical and software components which we cannot
provide using the S3C2410.

All you need is a special Mini-B to regular-B cable, which you then can
plug in the upstream port of any regular self-powered USB hub.You
can then use any (low-speed,full-speed) usb device on that hub. 

But that normal hub will not charge the phone, though.

FIC product development is looking in providing something that
conveniently solves this problem.  I cannot say more than that at this
point :)

 Here are a couple of items for the phone wish list:  data encryption and

data encryption will not be that much of a problem.  There will not

in our kernel, and make sure all user data is stored in one specific
location.  So once you mount a crypto volume there, you have it
basically working.

As for 'biometric security':  In my 'life before OpenMoko', I've been
working as an IT security expert.  I've been doing a lot of research on
RFID security and biometrics, too.

Believe me, there is no single fingerprint scanner that I've ever seen
which could not be tricked one way or the other.  In most cases, it is
_EXTREMELY_ easy (see e.g. http://www.ccc.de/biometrie/fingerabdruck_kopieren)

Also, what is the end result, if there is some really important stuff
protected by a fingerprint scanner?  Malicious people will cut off your
finger.  Don't laugh, it has happened before.  There are proven cases,
e.g. where a carjacker cut off the finger of his victim in order to be
able to steal the car.

Thus, I don't think that fingerprint recognition is by any means a
contribution to security.

 No. The GSM processor does its own audio de- and encoding, and its

 We can get at the audio via the a/d converters, but not do anything

So, though possibly inefficient, we could not some how take the analog

In that way we are still sending audio information and letting it get 
encoded by the gsm module.


Well. Even if the hardware supports feeding the GSM chip with audio from
the SoC instead of the mic directly (does it? it would be useful for
other stuff too, but I don't really know), it would be a rather
nontrivial exercise to make an encryption transform that would properly
survive lossy GSM encoding (and two d-a-d-conversions...) and be
readable.


GSM encoding is not lossy in that way.
If you have perfect knowledge of the sample stream that the GSM coder 
has been passed, then you can accurately predict the output of the GSM 
coder.
And you can then perfectly predict the decoders output stream in that 
way, and get a clean bitstream out that matches what was put in.


In practice, well...

If we have no A/D on either end, it might actually work, though there 
will probably be horrible framing problems.


Bit errors are going to be really, really annoying, as the GSM codec has 
many properties of an encryption algorithm.


It is designed on single bit errors to produce something that sounds to 
the ear - most of the time with reasonable input - similar.
This means in practice that you will not get one bit error in the 
output, but most of them in error.


It _is_ possible to correct this - you construct a model of the GSM 
codec state, and for each packet recieved, you update this model.
If an output packet does not checksum cleanly, you try taking the GSM 
codecs output, back-calculating what the input to it must have been, try 
flipping bits on that input till you get output that checksums correctly.


Unfortunately, this takes a lot of CPU power. I would be surprised if 
it's possible to correct double bit errors in real time on the latest 
desktop CPUs.


I suspect in practice this scheme may only work for absolutely perfect 
links, where there is no noise, or where there is little enough noise 
that you can afford to throw away the affected packets.


It would give a drastically better bandwidth, when it works, but you're 
going to need a fallback option for the other 80% of the time.

Even a really anemic processor can manage AES or whatever at 8Kbit/sec,

However, as a near-zero CPU option, you could always use one-time-pads

The pad can be stolen from both ends, and you'd have no perfect forward secrecy.

Using a onetime pad directly is inheritantly dangerous. You are better of
using the one-time pad to authenticate a diffie-hellman key exchange, and then
use session keys which are never stored to flash, written to disk, and can be
safely intercepted.

And that's all provided your onetime pad is truly random, which it won't be,

 Please note that the LCM we use in the Neo1973 can do hardware scaling,

Now this is excellent news. I asked before if the XVideo extension

I'm not an IRC guy, usually, but I like to browse IRC logs every once in

is someone in a position to set this up?

The NSLU2-Linux project (which I lead) is happy to provide both live and
archived logs of #openmoko (and any other future OpenMoko related
channels on Freenode) to the OpenMoko community.

http://logs.nslu2-linux.org/livelogs/openmoko/ are the archives (we have
been logging the channel since 29 Nov 1996).

http://logs.nslu2-linux.org/livelogs/openmoko.txt is the current live
log (it rolls over once per day).

http://logs.nslu2-linux.org/livelogs/openmoko-prev.txt is for the
previous day (this is the same as the most recent file in the archive).

Note that #oe (for OpenEmbedded), #nslu2-linux (for NSLU2-Linux) and
some other related channels are also logged in the same area with
obvious pathnames.

We have been logging #nslu2-linux since Feb 2005 and #oe since May 2005,
and expect to continue support of these resources indefinitely
(donations to the project easily cover all our expenses each year, and
the server hosting and connectivity is graciously provided by OSUOSL).

The box which serves this site is in the same rack as kernel.org and
debian.org (see http://osuosl.org/hosting/clients#nslu2 for details).

Re: Handy application ideas

...Because, I presume that the thief will do very quickly a hard reset.


There is no such thing like restore to factory default in Neo1973.
What you load to flash memory, will remain there. And I bet the
silent alarm application will be very popular among OpenMoko power
users (ones able to configure application which doesn't show up in
visual application manager, otherwise it doesn't make sense).

AFAIK the Neo1973 v1 will have no LEDs (beside the screen backlight and
inside the touchscreen)



This is true, no LED.


Which is utterly sad, given I'm such a big fan of Blinkenlights...


You want a phone that looks like the front panel of an Imsai 8080, right?

OpenMoko at Oreilly Emerging Telephony Conference

2007-02-03 Thread Jon Phillips
Heya, is anyone attending the Oreilly Emerging Telephony Conference in
San Francisco? And, if so, is it worthwhile? I guess if enough people
are going, good to have an OpenMoko BOF. Some of us will have phones by
then so could have mini-hack-fest...

GREAT idea. Whether or not we are attending the conference, enough of us live
in the area that we should get together, if not at the conference then in a
suitably friendly bar or restaurant. Perhaps we should find out when Sean is
available, and see if we can work around that?
