graphics units capable of something vaguely decent graphics-wise :) so an fpu

 On a related note (and perhaps on the wrong end of an NDA), any idea 
 what the specs are on the glamo's built in openrisc processors?

low to useless. it's slow. also not even under nda is there any info on just
how to program it. it's more of a control cpu - designed for keeping the
internal bits of glamo's silicon in line than actually doing any heavy lifting
of its own.

 Can they do floating point?  Randomly access memory?  How many of them 
 are there?
 
 If they're beefy enough, with the right drivers (like CUDA), I think 
 we'd have the bus bandwidth to offload audio processing (ogg decoding) 
 to them, assuming the bus is symmetric:
 
 48khz * 16bit/sample * 2channels = 187.5 kilobytes / sec = 1.4 mbit/sec

call us when they get to the 1 watt world. for now and for a while to come both
intel and amd's offerings are far far far from mobile land. sure- given time

Yes, but there's tons of legacy code that assumes an FPU. (ladspa plugins)

Also, after some naive conversions from floating point to fixed point 
programming, I hit a situation where 32bit arithmetic doesn't quite cut it.

Some filters want to multiply two floats together.  You can do this to 
simulate floating point math:

float f = ...;  // 0 = f  1.
int a, c;

const int b = (int)(f * 65536.0)

while(1) {
   ... // update a
   c = a * b
   c  16
   ... // do more math
}

Where a is signal data, perhaps dependent on past data, and b is a 
filter parameter.  Some formulas derive b from user tunable parameters.

In some corner cases, f is small (on the order of 1 / 2^16), which leads 
to rounding error assigning to the filter parameter b.

This distorts the filter setup, and leads to artifacts, feedback loops, 
etc.  Using 64 bit math better approximates the filter, and helps these 
corner cases a bit.  There might also be cases where you'd want to carry 
32 bits of precision throughout the calculation, though I haven't hit 
one yet.

The good news is that the hit associated with 64 bit math (and a 48 bit 
filter parameter) is measurable, but tolerable on the FR.

yeah, numpty physics is very cool on Freerunner. I'm running it on
2007.2 and on landscape screen position it's cool: just perfect size
to fit the opened keyboard there.

Though I hope in next versions there would be some integrated keys to

NF could be played full screen.

But a great piece of software, anyway!

 Cool.
 
 Headphone insertion isn't detected

 Please add a ticket.

Where?

I just added a bunch of FSO tickets to http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/; 
which has an FSO option in the milestone pulldown menu.  Then I found 
trac.freesmartphone.org

 
 Now I just need music and tangogps to work at the same time.  The
 framework gps thing is a CPU hog, as is ogg/gstreamer...
 
 Yeah, ogg is consuming too much. I hope we can improve that. The gps parser 
 needs to be profiled and then extended with a C module.
 

I spoke too soon.  They both work at the same time, which was not the 
case in 2007.2.  :)

However, they're still both CPU hogs...  I've been looking into the ogg 
stuff a bit.  I think the first step is to update the ivorbis package.

That'll make it easier to try the low-mem branch and tremolo.  I tried 
doing this a while back, but got runtime linker errors from gstreamer. 
Then I got busy with other things.

There are also some other potential issues.  I think gstreamer is doing 
software volume control, and there might be some grossness involving 
ARM's synchronization primitives.  Unfortunately, I haven't gotten a 
profiler working to see exactly where the cycles are going.

 I'd say, the minimum that we need for GTA01 would:

 1. have working, reliable GSM service to use as a phone
This works with both Qtopia and the old GTK based OpenMoko distribution. It 
also works with FSO.
 2. have working, reliable suspend/resume so that you can get more than 4
 hours at a time, without breaking the other features
This has been working for me for more than a month now. The only problem I've 
noticed is that either the GPS or GSM seems to sometimes go beserk. The main 
CPU is suspended but the phone is warm to the touch and the battery is 
emptied in a few hours.
 3. provide working SMS,
So far I've only got this to work with Qtopia.
 4. have an address book, and calendar in some form that can be
 synchronized with desktop/online services
to be done
 5. have a GPS/mapping software that works.
TangoGPS. 
 So as best I can tell, we have 4 out of 5, but not even in any
 combination that can be run together.
Since most of the development done for the FreeRunner seems to also benefit us 
GTA01 users, I'm pretty sure we'll get there in a few months. Also, since the 
main improvement over the previous version seems to be eyecandy, I don't feel 
like we're missing much by not having access to a pre-built 2008.8 image.

Re: Alpha 2 Release of Accelerometer-based Gestures, and Screen Orientation

2008-08-15 Thread Paul-Valentin Borza
Hi Yaroslav,

Well, that might be an idea to use both accelerometers. Currently (in this
release), the daemons can use either of the accelerometers (top or bottom);
it just depends on the arguments that are used to start the daemons.
However, there are models only for the top accelerometer.
Try running gesm --neo2 --config /etc/accelges/neo2 --new up.model (for top
accel)
or gesm --neo3 --config /etc/accelges/neo3 --new up.model (for bottom accel)

What we might need to really improve the accuracy, is a gyroscope. Perhaps
in GTA03?

Thanks,
Paul

  It
  looks to expect the keyboard to be centred on the screen, not left

 Imho it would be better to use the X infrastructure for that, maybe by an

Hmm, ok. I'll remember these. In the future, until there's a software that

Re: Alpha 2 Release of Accelerometer-based Gestures, and Screen Orientation

2008-08-15 Thread Paul-Valentin Borza
On the sensitivity issue... The time that the recognizer considers a gesture
was made is unfortunately hard-coded with a #define in this release (sorry
for that). However, there's something you can do (you can train the
classifier to detect dynamic acceleration - i.e. when you make a gesture -
to be more rigid).
You can't do it in GUI mode, but you can use the console:
There are 2 classes: static acceleration (s.class), and dynamic accelration
(d.class)

Train the dynamic acceleration class:
gesm --neo2 --config /etc/accelges/neo2 --new d.class
gesm --neo2 --config /etc/accelges/neo2 --train d.class

Be aware that this isn't a gesture training, as it's a classifier's class
creation, and training. So when you make shake the phone here, you'll have
to press the screen of the Neo (doesn't matter where) at all time while you
make the move. When you release the screen, your dynamic class will be
adapted.
Also, once you do this, all the gestures can be considered trash. You'll
have to create, train all the gestures (use the GUI).

Well, acceleration is not direction unfortunately. A gyroscope can solve
this problems - an accelerometer, and a gyroscope will solve these kind of
problems.
I can do something in the next release to correct the landscape, move
upwards detects right problem; I will try that.

No, you can't do that right now, as the duration is hard-coded for now.

To tool how a gesture looks like, run:
gesm --neo2 --config /etc/accelges/neo2 --view up.model
or whatever model you like - it's a continuous density left-to-right hidden
Markov model

Thanks,
Paul

 Looks good :)

 Here's my experiences, don't know if these are planned for future releases:

 I don't know if something is wrong for me though because it's really
 sensitive.  Handling my phone ordinarally and gently results in a lot of
 'shake shake'.  Would it be possible to require a constant shaking motion
 for 2 seconds or something before it registers? Also it doesn't seem to
 factor out gravity (I don't know if that is possible?)  For example, if I
 turn my phone upside down, the screen orientation goes with it (Which works
 great by the way!).  If I jerk my phone to the right, up comes 'left'.
  That's not right.  (Hahaha punny!)  And if I hold my screen purpendicular
 to the ground, and jerk the phone upwards and then downwards it detects
 'forward, backward' etc etc etc.  You're the expert so correct me if I'm
 wrong, but can we not detect a reasonably consistant 1G force, and then
 apply a rotation matrix or something to every input value so that things are
 relative to that direction (And only change the known gravity direction if
 1G is sustained in one direction for a long enough period of time) ?

 These training files, how advanced are they?  Would I be able to write one
 that says something like 'If the accelerometer detects between three and
 five sudden changes in direction over #Gs that occur over a period that's no
 less than 2 seconds but no more than 4 seconds?', or stuff that advanced?

 Thanks for the great work so far :)

  What you've seen in the video from

  This release includes:
  An application with user interface that allows the user to train the
  gestures for himself/herself;
  A listener daemon that sends a notification on the screen of the
  recognized gesture;
  Automatically switch of screen orientation for the four possible modes
  (2xportrait, and 2xlandscape).

  You can find documentation, installation instructions, screenshots
  etc. on the Wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gestures
  There's a quick way to install it, and a more detailed way... Read
  http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gestures
 
  I would suggest carefully reading the instructions, and running the
  gesture listener as soon as you install the package (i.e. before
  training).
  Of course, the gestures were not trained for you (unfortunately I had
  a limited set of training data - only myself), so you'll have to train
  them for yourself.
 
  Have fun with it!

Thanks!

Most dependencies I already had installed from the °angström-base-feed.
To install your mediaplayer-package I only had to change the
corresponding md5-sum in /var/lib/opkg/base.

Note that the player also works if openmoko-soundsystem2 is not
installed -- even better: no pulseaudio running saves quite some
CPU-cycles. I simply tried that as I didn't felt comfortable with
pulseaudio returning to my moko and so far it works for me. Only the GUI
is buggy and sometimes not responsive, but I suppose that's not related
to the sound output.

On the cpu-hogging: playing mp3s takes constantly ~30% (with and without
pulseaudio). But mplayer also uses 25%, while in OM2007.2 it was around
10%. So maybe this is not a mediaplayer-issue but one of the
sound-subsystem?

Adding libraries/packages to the toolchain using bitbake / openembedded

2008-08-15 Thread Florian Hackenberger
Hi!

I'm trying to build navit using the openmoko toolchain. The problem is 
that it seems to require the libgps include files for gpsd support. 
Ideally I'd like to add a package to the toolchain using a bitbake 
recipe from the openmoko git repository. I have tried to find the 
relevant documentation on the wiki, but have only found [1], which 
seems to be an odd way (replicating all the work which went in to the 
bitbake recipes). Can someone please explain how to add packages to the 
installed toolchain using bitbake? I'll volunteer to document the 
procedure on the Wiki as soon as it works for me.

Well, that might be an idea to use both accelerometers. Currently
(in
more is usually better than less ;-) I haven't yet looked at the machine
learning part of the recognition you do (I know that you described it in
your MS thesis I think), but doubling the number of features for
classification/detection should have only positive effects here -- those
features are not bogus and well correlated with each other, thus I would
expect significant boost in performance.
And taking the fact that recognition works quite well already with just
a single accelerometer is great news -- it means that with 2 it should
be just better ;-)

You may want to have a look at this earlier thread about Navit:

I didn't manage to compile it in the end, but there are links to 
compiled versions there which I ended up using.

The short answer to your question appears to be that you need to install 
libgpsd or gpsd-devel on your machine, using whatever packaging tool 
your distro uses. The concensus seems to be that once you install this, 
the build process will find the file it needs without any fuss.

As I said, I didn't manage to compile it, though, so I can't say for 
certain...

Experiences from a new user/owner and a question.

2008-08-15 Thread Dimitri Michaux
Hey,

I received my OpenMoko freerunner this monday and I played around with
it the whole week and this is my experience with it.

I didn't like the software that came with it (I guess that is 2007.2),
I just didn't like the look and feel of it. So I installed ASU on it
and that felt better, but it isn't quit stable. So I installed 2008.8
from the build host, these feel more stable, but can't seem to find
the installer on it ??? So, now I'm running Qtopia on it which just
feels much more mature and stable and makes the phone usable as a
'phone'.

Now, what is the best thing to do? I guess I would like to keep using
qtopia as long as 2008.8 isn't ready for every day use. But now my
question is: is which version should I install on the sd card? The
official 2008.8 release and try to update that or install the version
from the build host? Also updates don't seem to work (I have usb
networking and added a nameserver to resolve.conf).

And now I just want to say that is a really nice a good looking solid
feeling machine and I like playing with it :-)

Regards,
Dimitri

Debian on the FreeRunner -- now official

2008-08-15 Thread Joachim Breitner
Dear OpenMoko community,

the FSO packaging team of the Debian project[1] is happy to announce
that we have started to provide installation procedures and packages
required to have your FreeRunner[2] run Debian-powered.

This means that you can use your favorite tools such as apt-get and the
other 20.000 packages on your FreeRunner, including the
freesmartphone.org[3] software stack. You can also develop applications
for your FreeRunner the “Debian way”.

To install Debian onto your MicroSD card, alongside your current Image
on the internal Flash, see the instructions at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner
These will provide you with a minimal Debian installation plus
everything required to use zhone. From there on, you are free to modify
your system as you wish – with the full power and flexibility of the
Debian system.

Note that Debian does not try provide yet another software stack (or
“Distribution” in the OpenMoko slang) next to 2007.2, 2008.8 or FSO, but
rather an alternative base, comparable to OpenEmbedded[3]. We are
looking forward to also support other stacks such as the Stable Hybrid
Release[4], once they are ready for that.

All this is still very new and was created during at the DebConf 8 in
Mar de Plata since last week. This means that there are still bugs and
other things to improve. You are invited to join the development by
subscribing to the smartphone-standards[5] mailing list that the Debian
team shares with the FSO team. There is also a wiki page[6] with more
information on the pkg-fso team, including a TODO section.

I’d like to thank Jon “maddog” Hall from Koolu[7] for lending me an
additional device for installation tests, and all the other testers at
DebConf and elsewhere that helped us to remove at least some of the
bugs. But don’t worry – I’m sure there are some bugs left for you!

Please send replies and further discussion to the
smartphone-standards[5] mailing list, but note that you have to
subscribe to that list first.

Enjoy!
Joachim Breitner

Jan Lübbe

if that hack works, it means the build system is looking for headers and

according to the things above probably by setting the according variables

Hello,


   - where are the tiles downloaded while using Locations saved ?

/tmp/diversity-maps ??

If they are, is there a way to save them somewhere different ? so I do not
have to download them all the time.


Or i can create a map package like :
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om2008.8_Locations#Create_Offline_Maps
and save them my_map1.eek
but  if I download news tiles, I have to think about creating a
my_maps2.eek, before I reboot the FR again...

I wish there was a way to have all the map saved in a permanent locations...




   - Also, If I want to use/Download  some Google_maps (for personal usage)
   and use them with Location , how do I do that ?

I am going to vacation in a location there is no OSM map, and I would like
to have the gmap instead...

As a heads up to everyone, this may not work with an SDHC card.  u-boot (to the 
best of my knowledge) doesn't support SDHC, even though the linux kernel does.  
So when u-boot goes to read the FAT filesystem and load in the kernel, it fails.

One thing that might work (Although it may mess you up in terms of kernel 
modules and such?) is setting up u-boot to load the kernel from flash (which 
you use with your openembedded openmoko distribution) and then pointing the 
kernel command line toward your SDHC Debian root partition.

To do this, you will have to boot up u-boot with the prompt.  Press and hold 
the power button, and THEN (after, not before) press and hold the AUX button.. 
and hold them until you see the the boot prompt.  Then connect a USB cable, and 
if your PC has the right drivers, you should have access to a serial port, such 
as /dev/ttyACM0 which you can connect to, in order to get a u-boot command line.

These commands should get you started:
printenv
setenv
saveenv

Notice the menu_# variables.  You'll want to make a hybrid which boots exactly 
the same as internal flash (taking the kernel from flash) except that the 
root=xyz paramater will be different.

I suggest that someone make up a wiki article explaining how to do this while 
they're figuring it out.  (I've already had to do it once myself)

 Dear OpenMoko community,
 
 the FSO packaging team of the Debian project[1] is happy to announce

 This means that you can use your favorite tools such as apt-get and the
 other 20.000 packages on your FreeRunner, including the
 freesmartphone.org[3] software stack. You can also develop applications
 for your FreeRunner the “Debian way”.
 
 To install Debian onto your MicroSD card, alongside your current Image
 on the internal Flash, see the instructions at
   http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner
 These will provide you with a minimal Debian installation plus
 everything required to use zhone. From there on, you are free to modify
 your system as you wish – with the full power and flexibility of the
 Debian system.
 
 Note that Debian does not try provide yet another software stack (or
 “Distribution” in the OpenMoko slang) next to 2007.2, 2008.8 or FSO, but
 rather an alternative base, comparable to OpenEmbedded[3]. We are
 looking forward to also support other stacks such as the Stable Hybrid
 Release[4], once they are ready for that.
 
 All this is still very new and was created during at the DebConf 8 in
 Mar de Plata since last week. This means that there are still bugs and
 other things to improve. You are invited to join the development by
 subscribing to the smartphone-standards[5] mailing list that the Debian
 team shares with the FSO team. There is also a wiki page[6] with more
 information on the pkg-fso team, including a TODO section.
 
 I’d like to thank Jon “maddog” Hall from Koolu[7] for lending me an
 additional device for installation tests, and all the other testers at
 DebConf and elsewhere that helped us to remove at least some of the
 bugs. But don’t worry – I’m sure there are some bugs left for you!

Ah, this seems to have more information.

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD#Boot_from_SDHC

It says 'u-boot from 2008-07-23 or later' will boot from SDHC.

 Please add a ticket.
 Where?

 I just added a bunch of FSO tickets to http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/;
 which has an FSO option in the milestone pulldown menu.  Then I found
 trac.freesmartphone.org
 
 Hmm, ok. I'll remember these. In the future, until there's a software that 
 includes the framework, I'd rather like to see the bugs in 
 trac.freesmartphone.org.
 

Maybe the openmoko trac should document this, by adding the following 
sentence to the create new ticket page:

Problems with the FSO framework and images should be reported to the 
freesmartphone.org trac

trac should link to trac.freesmartphone.org

Are there other trac's that bug reporters should know about?  Also, I 
hit a bug involving the events thread and avahi-daemon on an FSO image. 
  Where does that go?  I ask so the answer can be documented on the 
'create new ticket page' or somewhere on the wiki... ;)


 However, they're still both CPU hogs...  I've been looking into the ogg
 stuff a bit.  I think the first step is to update the ivorbis package.
 
 Ok. I try to find someone to look into that.
 

Great!  Though getting oprofile working (as a easy-to-install package) 
is a higher priority IMHO.  Needing to move ivorbis to some combination 
of low-mem, tremolo and low-accuracy mode is my best guess, but it could 
be that gstreamer is doing something silly to oggs, but not mp3s, or 
some other strange problem...

(see

https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1614

for ogg stuff, and

https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1193

for problems with IPC and arm's synchronization primitives.)

Also, for packages like ivorbis, which repository / distribution should 
people repackage for?  Is angstrom upstream of everyone else?  Is there 
a URL/wikipage somewhere?  I spent a few hours with the wiki trying to 
answer this question for openmoko-mediaplayer2 last night...

 In Settings-Internet.
 But I haven't managed to get it to connect to my WPA AP so far (but
 I have not really looked into the issue).
 

If you are talking about Trolltechs Qtopia released 8/8/08 then I have managed 
to get Wifi to work 
using their setup using WPA2. It did take a while to get going though.

The WPA settings are in the Internet setup, but hidden as you need to scroll 
the settings down to 
get to them.

Also if you click on the setup it will try to connect and say pending if it 
cannot connect which 
stops the properties menu setting appearing. I had ssh in and kill off the all 
the processes 
involved in wifi to get that to work.

Lorn mentioned you can click on the item and then slide the stylus down and 
release off of the itme 
which will select it but not cause it to try to connect, then you can select 
properties and setup 
the wpa password etc.

Anyway bottom line is does work.

 The feeds are for the debian system if I understand you right.
 But how do I install these packages without beeing able to boot debian  
 from
 the sd card ? Should I install that in the openmoko flash image  
 (currently
 2008.08)?

the tools are to be used on your host computer, i think.

 See MP35A at http://pc-mobile.net/audioadapter.htm - I have a few of

 alright.

Hereby confirmed. Mine arrived today and works perfectly. Thanks for the

Correct. The pkg-fso feed works both on i386 and armel, and the
fso-utils package makes also sense on i386, for the remote flashing. It
maybe also works from the phone itself (see the unused “uboot” stage of
install.sh), but I had weird problems. Bold people with a craze for
debugging are welcome to make that work.

 I can recommend giving them a call. It takes a while until they pick up 
 the phone, but they are very kind. They immediately agreed to send a 
 replacement for the lost parcel (no arguing involved). You just need 
 some patience on the phone (it's toll free). They never answered any of 
 my emails though.

FWIW, if you are calling from outside the US, you can use skype to
call their toll-free number even without a skypeout account.

I ordered mine on July 5th (and got the shipping confirmation on
July 10th) and so far got nothing.  I just called them and they were
very nice and said they would resend on monday.  However I think I
had to wait about 20 minutes until I got to speak to the customer
service. (But at least the music was not repetitive :))

That looks good. Please start NAND uboot and select Boot, then you

i will remove the content of /var/cache/apt/archives and

The installation should work fine with 512MB (although it’s a close
call). But of course if you want to install more stuff later, you need
to do good housekeeping.

 I am going to vacation in a location there is no OSM map, and I would like
 to have the gmap instead...

that would be strictly against the terms and conditions of using google 
mapswhich is one the reasons osm was created

i don't want to get anyone in trouble showing you here how to do it, but 
i think there's some hints on the maemo forum of the url format google 
uses, which should help with mass-downloading the area you want
