[Om2008.9] Using Freerunner as a digital audio player
Hi folks, yesterday I tried to use qtopia-phone-x11-mediaplayer and some ogg/mp3 files to transform the FR into a digital audio player. I have encountered 3 software problems : 1. audio quality is bad (whereas it is good with Debian+Sonata/Mpd, so definitively not a hardware problem here) : is there a way to tune some parameters ? 2. external speakers still work after headphones being plugged : is there an alsa subtlety here ? (it switches automatically with Debian) 3. software relies upon tags, which I do not use at all. I have a precise filesystem scheme and no need of tag-based players trying to sort my music. Is there a way of telling the thing to stop trying to be smart ?

The trick is, doing it in this manner (that is, with tags) makes sure you have processing power left over when browsing the music, as all the tags are cached in a high-performance database. It also gives you the advantage of being able to find tracks directly by artist or by album or by... you get the idea, i'm sure :) While your filesystem is optimal for a single path through the music, the method used in the qt mediaplayer makes sure that the information is accessible through a number of different paths. So... give tags a shot before you discard their usefulness ;) qtopia-phone-x11-mediaplayer seems totally usable with fingers, and that's the big motivation for me to use it. On a related topic, the media player designed by the Qt people is rather simplistic, and while it works quite well, the Amarok team is working on a new player based on the technologies in Amarok 2 - what that means is that you'll be able to do all sorts of interesting things...

[Debian] How can I simulate right click ?
Hi folks, has someone found a way to simulate right click on Debian using stylus or finger ? Because some software relies upon the presence of a second button, and it would be great to have the possibility to use them. I would have like a 'long pressure == right click', but (with Xfce) I can see the mouse cursor moving while I put this long pressure on the screen. The touchscreen probably does not have 480x640 points of pressure, so maybe long pressure is not a solution here. Moreover double-clicking is difficult, because mouse cursor moves between the 2 clicks (for same reason)... I am interested in any method to improve this 'touch screen - mouse cursor' behavior. Thanks in advance for your advices, Xavier. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [Om2008.9] Using Freerunner as a digital audio player
Dan Jensen a écrit : Surely a program which grabs the information from your well-designed file system schema would work for you here? The trick is, doing it in this manner (that is, with tags) makes sure you have processing power left over when browsing the music, as all the tags are cached in a high-performance database. It also gives you the advantage of being able to find tracks directly by artist or by album or by... you get the idea, i'm sure :) While your filesystem is optimal for a single path through the music, the method used in the qt mediaplayer makes sure that the information is accessible through a number of different paths. So... give tags a shot before you discard their usefulness ;) qtopia-phone-x11-mediaplayer seems totally usable with fingers, and that's the big motivation for me to use it. On a related topic, the media player designed by the Qt people is rather simplistic, and while it works quite well, the Amarok team is working on a new player based on the technologies in Amarok 2 - what that means is that you'll be able to do all sorts of interesting things... This is again all tags based stuff, so may well not be what you want, but as general information for other people ;) ..leinir I just want a single view named Folders (which would be a file explorer) instead of the existing Albums, Artists, Genre. I totally understand that a tag-based player could be interesting for some people, but I *know* where my files are in my collection. If I want to listen to Metallica's last album on my laptop (with Sonata/MPD), I just go into metal/Metallica/ and I add 'Death Magnetic' folder to my playlist. I don't need to search Genre:Thrash or Genre:Metal, nor Artist:Metallica because I know where this folder is. In fact, yes it is optimal for a single path to the music, and that's what I want. The tag-based approach is a good way to dig into a collection you are discovering. Maybe it's shared by a friend, maybe you don't know what you have on your disk... whatever, I know which CD I ripped and where I stored it on my disk, and collection size is not a limit of this non tag-based approach you can trust me ;) To make a debian analogy, I use debtags to find a package providing a functionality I want, but I do not use the tags when I *know* package's name.

We have been using these build-specific paths in the git build system for some time, they eliminate the problem that incorrect modules get loaded into kernel space when you change the main kernel binary. I dunno what our packaging side is doing about modules because it's not discussed anywhere that I read. Anyway it's good news mwester is using the same system, it just means that you only actually need the dir that matches the build stamp of the monolithic kernel you are using; any other dirs left lying around don't make any trouble except waste space if you will never revert to the kernel that matches them. Update: After deleting the 2.6.24mw-g291a9d50 branch from under /lib/modules and rebooting, I found that the original kernel looks for modules under it (the deleted branch).

I wasn't aware of this problem, but if what you are saying is that the headphone out socket of the phone has a capacitor connected across it that is attenuating the high frequencies, then an external amplifier connected to that socket will not be able to restore those frequencies. The cap is 1uF in series - see the schematics at http://downloads.openmoko.org/schematics/GTA02/ and check the archives for a thorough analysis by Joerg: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2008-March/001996.html An external amp will provide a high impedence load, so things will be better, but unless there was an unannounced change in the componenet values for the later boards you will be stuck with bass rolling off below 160Hz. On the hardware list you can find discussion of the modification options. A well-designed amplifier that takes a digital audio feed from the USB socket - a USB soundcard, essentially, would work in principle, but in practice may be expensive/time-consuming to implement. There are any number of usb headsets out there. Many would be trivial to modify for use with other headphones. If you're serious about your audio there's always the HeadRoom BitHead. My advice would be to try listening to music on your phone. If it sounds fine, don't worry about it further. If it isn't fine, try using a distro that is known to have good sound capabilities (someone else mentioned that Debian gives high playback quality). Only if this fails to give you adequate quality might it be worth investigating hardware replacements/augmentation.

(at least not that I could find, not at this point) The usual NOR uBoot menu you use Right Qi's concept is it leaves everything possible to Linux, that includes even the video init. You can use NOR U-Boot on Freerunner to do DFU or other U-Boot specific stuff. Qi has a list of bootable devices and currently will try uSD partition 1 for /boot/uImage.bin, if that is not working out then it will try the NAND kernel partition. Currently 2.6.27 doesn't do mtd properly and blows chunks with these CRC errors, didn't find why yet. But it does work with uSD boot on ext3 OK. The red LED thing is what we do on kernel panic... it's panicking because it can't mount the jffs2 part because of the CRC errors, then it has no rootfs. Thanks a lot for trying it and reporting it, you'll get further with uSD boot right now. I finally realized that you meant boot from uSD-based system, rather than just pull the kernel from uSD - I tried 2.6.27 and 2008.8-update uImage in /media/card/boot and just got blinking red kernel panic LED.

Not a problem actually, as NOR uBoot will let us achieve that, and I realize that the common target case will be a user who wants a smartphone, not a multiboot development platform.

Re: [Om2008.9] Using Freerunner as a digital audio player
Mmmm that's strange because everything sounds good under Debian. But thanks for the hint, I will check my cpu usage. You are right, after a bit of killing : - it sounds good with qtopia media player, and mediaserver eats 45% of CPU in top - it sounds good too with mplayer (frontend here http://www.opkg.org/package_1.html) and it eats only 30% of CPU Xavier. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hopefully one of the latter two, right? :) As to the second, yes that's pretty much the situation. As I understand it, there are also limitations on simultaneous use of GSM and Wifi as well as Wifi and Bluetooth.

Or is there not enough wiggle room on the FR for caching? It seems better overall [1]. Would it be possible to replace it yourself with the appropriate kernel modules etc?

It looks like it has full write-back support, meaning it doesn't need to write to the SD card all the time, although I guess we don't have that much memory to play with. ubifs wont work on sd cards, which are not true flash devices. but it is relevant and could replace jffs2.

That's the problem there. Your desktop system already has a valid working route to 192.168.1.0/24 on ethernet. When you set up another network interface with the same subnet (192.168.1.0/24) then the result is OS/kernel dependent, but almost NEVER pretty. Try setting the usb networking on the host to 192.168.1.21, subnet mask 255.255.255.248 (that's /29). You should be able to communicate with the FR again at that point. The FR will still not connect to the world though. At the minimum you'll need to change the gateway to 192.168.1.21, and deal with /etc/resolv.conf. Then you should be able to reach the internet from the FR, though your LAN (except the host itself) will be unreachable. The safest setup is to have different subnets (like 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.0.0/24) on each interface. If you're currently running 192.168.1.0/24 on your LAN, then the usbnet connection should use a different (non-overlapping) subnet for simplest and best functioning. The MBP will need to NAT connections from the FR - presuming it just passes them, the rest of your network (including router/gateway to the internet) will send responses to the IP of the FR, which it will have no idea how to reach since it's 'behind' the MBP from the router's point of view. To fix that you'd have to make manual routing changes on the router, or set up proxy arp on the MBP, or a few other possibilities - all far more complex than just using different subnets. The 'fix' I mentioned first works because routing decisions (IE, what interface do I use for a packet going to a.b.c.d?) are typically made by looking at the MOST RESTRICTIVE route first. So if 192.168.1.20 is technically within two subnets for the host (192.168.1.0/24 on eth0 and 192.168.1.16/29 on usb0, for example) then it will use the route with the smaller subnet. (which means the larger subnet mask number in /24 /29 format) But normally other devices on the 192.168.1.0/24 network (like another computer, or router, or network printer) will expect 192.168.1.20 to be RIGHT on the wire out their own interface, NOT on the other side of your MBP. (from their perspective the MBP is a router they need to use to reach 192.168.1.21, and they don't know that) The other possibility (which I have no idea how to implement on osX) is to bridge the ethernet or wireless interface on the host to the usb networking interface. If for whatever reason you're insistent on keeping 192.168.1.0/24 addresses on everything, you can set up the smaller /29 subnet I mentioned at the top on both the host and the FR, and set up default route and nameserver on the FR appropriately. Note that without lower-level routing tweaks the FR will NOT be able to communicate correctly with other IPs in 192.168.1.0/24, just with and through the host. No idea on how to sniff packets, at this time. I don't honestly know what's available for the Mac, but I'd be surprised if wireshark were not. That (or tshark, the text-only console variant) is what I use almost exclusively on linux and windows systems. Oh, and back to your original post for a moment, you'll need to go into Installer and install Terminal, it's not preinstalled in the image. (once Installer can communicate with the internet again, that is;) j PS: ipcalc is a handy tool... $ ipcalc -b 192.168.1.20/29 Address: 192.168.1.20 Netmask: 255.255.255.248 = 29 Wildcard: 0.0.0.7 = Network: 192.168.1.16/29 HostMin: 192.168.1.17 HostMax: 192.168.1.22 Broadcast: 192.168.1.23 Hosts/Net: 6

I'm wondering if there's a DROP rule in the FORWARD chain of the hosts's firewall. (sudo iptables -vnL FORWARD shows Policy, rules, and packet/byte counts that matched each - check it next time there's a problem BEFORE you run firestarter, as well as cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward which should return '1') The simple fix in this scenario would probably be just to add these two lines to the 'start' section of /etc/network/freerunner, based on what's in the wiki: iptables -I FORWARD -s 192.168.0.202 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -d 192.168.0.202 -j ACCEPT You can add the corresponding 'iptables -D' commands in the 'stop' section to delete these rules if you like, but leaving them laying around is pretty harmless. I run Ubuntu on several workstations, three servers, and a bridge, with my FR regularly connected to three of the above.

Rui I'd not think so. The estimated time remaining varies because your 'recent' power usage varies between checks. If GSM or wifi start requiring more power than before to maintain connection, for example, or backlight usage varies, etc, then the estimate will change according to recent usage. (I'm assuming those weren't invoked immediately after one another, but that some time elapsed between checks - regardless, only the estimated time is acting in any way unexpectedly - remaining capacity seems to be pretty consistent and presumably fairly accurate) j ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Rui I'd not think so. The estimated time remaining varies because your 'recent' power usage varies between checks. If GSM or wifi start requiring more power than before to maintain connection, for example, or backlight usage varies, etc, then the estimate will change according to recent usage. (I'm assuming those weren't invoked immediately after one another, but that some time elapsed between checks - regardless, only the estimated time is acting in any way unexpectedly - remaining capacity seems to be pretty consistent and presumably fairly accurate) I know it wasn't timestamped, bu these were consecutive readings, perhaps within less of a second between each...

Re: console command history
If you use bash on OM than do it the same way how it is done in a normal linux pc. You must export HISTFILESIZE=1000 to set the number of lines saved to 1000. Just put this command in an adequate file to be executed at start like profile or bashrc.

Re: Openmoko to shift to 2.6.27 kernel ?
[Sorry, this may be slightly off topic] May I draw the attention of those whom it might concern to the following article on LWN, where some guys got linux to boot on an eee pc in 5 seconds: http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/ Am I the only one whose eyes are dreamy and glazed over after reading this?
