Re: [ASU 2008.9] Is it required to reflash, or opkg update upgrade is enough?
Why won't we just invent cool codenames for the distros? Maybe because they are not really distributions, but just point releases / milestones of the same branch ? Distribution = ASU ASU release point zéro = Om 2008.8 ASU release point one = Om 2008.9 ASU 2008.8 + updates = ASU 2008.8 + updates = packages fresh from latest daily builds = ASU head = no name yet. Minh Actually, that was kind of my point. As was said 2008.8 and 2008.9 are basically the same thing, only one is updated. It will get even harder to keep track of the names next year. There should be one name for all this mess and a way to check the exact version in case for some reason the system can not be updated but needs to be debugged.

Re: About OpenMoko Rotate
1. The touchscreen calibration is fine when the screen is in normal rotation, to left or to right but if it's upside down then the calibration goes way off for me. When I click somewhere the action actually takes place above and to the right of the actual click. Which version are you using? In om2008.8 (with updates) it has been fixed. Simply keep the xglamo package update! 2. I'm using the Raster's keyboard and I can only see half of the bottom row of buttons, especially when the screen is not in normal rotation. Don't know if it's the keyboard or Rotate. Like before, it should have been fixed. I got that problem too but now I can't reproduce and I'm using ASU with all the updates but with Raster's keyboard. Hmm, you're right. I last updated yesterday and both problem were there. I did a quick update a minute ago and it only updated angstrom but now both problems are gone. 3. This is probably a kernel problem or something but after a while, the accelerometes seem to stop working which can leave the rotation to an unconfortable position. Suspending and resuming helps. Yes if I'm not wrong there's something about this in the trac. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: 2008.9 Basic questions
For a complete and working routing solution just use navit. It uses maps from openstreetmaps.org compiled to a binary format which consumes just ~90MB for whole germany. It also supports speach output for directions. I tested it between two cities where i live and it routed me very well. The speech output maybe is a bit robocup like, but this is based on free text2speech engines and not navit itself. ;) Navit and tangogps fit perfect together for different use cases.

Re: 2008.9 Basic questions
I also experienced the problem that the FR slowes down to a point where it freezes when the memory consumption goes to the limit of the internal ram. And this happenes quite often when using many programs. To solve this problem i created a swap file with 64MB on my sd-card (vfat, but this shouldn't matter) and added it to the fstab like this: /dev/mmcblk0p3 /media/disk vfatdefaults,noatime0 2 /media/disk/swapfile swap swapdefaults0 0 I know that swap on a sd-card isn't the best thing to to, but i didn't notice any sd-card performance problems. And since i use this my freerunner didn't freeze at all anymore because i never get close to the 192MB ram even when starting many programs. :) Ciao, Rainer William Kenworthy wrote: On Sat, 2008-09-20 at 21:40 -0400, Alex Fitzpatrick wrote: Iain B.

Re: Audio Jack Sampling Rate?
On Sat, Sep 20, 2008 at 8:42 PM, Al Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: You probably want to look at these two. The main limitation is that you've only got one input channel via the jack, but you might be able to get round that using the mic switch detection. I incorrectly assumed there is stereo input on the jack. I'll have to go back and rethink this whole thing. What is the mic detection switch? Can I record audio from the mic input and the built-in microphone at the same time? Since you need external bits for the IR anyway you may be better off making a USB device instead. The arduino and other similar devices make the USB part relatively easy. Put a narrow bandpass filter on your audio transducer and you make the audio signal a simple on/off - use multiple frequencies if you need to track different markers or indicate different states. I'm hoping to find some novel way of doing this with the most simple hardware setup possible. Maybe we can have each transducer connected to a bandpass filter that activates an oscillator. If the two oscillators operate at different frequencies on the same mic-in channel, we should be able to process this in software on the Freerunner to calculate when each oscillator was triggered. This would allow us to use only dumb and cheap hardware that should work on any computer with a mic-in. The IR detector(s) can also be connected to a oscillator operating at a third frequency.

Until the system has been running for a while, I receive frequency warnings when running top and there is mild instability in certain areas. Allowing the system to be up for some time seems to rectify all the problems I am seeing. Googling the problem suggests that it may be a linux/arm specific thing. As far as devices being dead, I wonder if it applies to more than the accelerometers ... ie. I've noticed that GPS straight after boot is next to useless but half an hour later I'll have no problems. Out of habit I now leave the phone running as long as possible which means these problems are less than tangible ... but they may still exist and they may be broader, as I only use certain facilities.

Make util not getting the toolchain
Hi, I am compiling a small package which does not have any autoconf so has only a simple recursive Makefile. When I try to build it with the OM toolchain it gives me the following error message: make[1]: /usr/local/openmoko/arm/bin/arm-angtrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc: Command not found The environment variables are fine as I have run the environment script provided with the toolchain and checked it with echo $VAR-NAME. What can be the possible reason behind this weird behavior? I tried compiling it with arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc instead of make and it worked half way through (LD etc needs to be done also) but I don't want to do it that way anymore :) -- Shaz ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
