Re: qtmoko v30
Joif - Power management still confuses or loses battery/cable settings, only when locked settings work. In $HOME/Settings/Trolltech/qpe.conf paste Lock/External/BatteryPower settings from previously working version, and do not run Settings/Power management. - Thank you for your attention. -- View this message in context: http://openmoko-public-mailinglists.1958.n2.nabble.com/qtmoko-v30-tp5804844p5879500.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
QI kernel parameters
Hi all, I have a hard time with an SD card that will give errors whne running fsck, even right after an fresh mke2fs. So i am trying to slowdown the glamo, but that does not seem to work with QI acording to [1] i should work for nand in the same way as it does for sd card partitions. But that doesn't seem to be the case. Any other idea on how to supply kernel parameters while booting from NAND?

Re: QI kernel parameters
Hi, Notice, that if your distro-specific qi already has some kernel params changed in source or have some additional patches, you have to use distro-specific qi source as base. You may attempt to cat /proc/cmdline to check that. Alternatively just use u-boot ;) Gennady В Вск, 02/01/2011 в 12:14 -0500, Phil Vandry пишет: On Sun, Jan 02, 2011 at 05:43:36PM +0100, Ed Kapitein wrote: I have a hard time with an SD card that will give errors whne running fsck, even right after an fresh mke2fs.

Re: QI kernel parameters
Hi Phil, Thanks for the tip, it seems like a hassle to recompile qi for setting the glamo clock speed. Anyway, i tried it, and i end up with: neo qi # make mkdir -p image ld: cannot open linker script file src/cpu//qi.lds: No such file or directory make: *** [image/qi--master_c38b062a609f1442.udfu] Error 1 I am building on the FR, so no toolchain there. Did you manage to get your SD card to work? if so how? Also in my case the error follows the SD card, another card (class 6) works just fine, but the new (class 4) is buggy.

Re: Good evening to everyone
Thanks for reply. Please see my notes below..

Dmesg says unable to enumerate device. I was trying to connect USB flash drive, BT dongle and USBtoRS232 converter (With PL2??something chip) - all these were working on v26. New 2.6.34 has now 2 sysfs nodes that have to be used together for the desired result. It seems that the sysfs path for second one has slightly changed. If you edit /opt/qtmoko/bin/usb-host.sh it should now read: echo 0 /sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-gpio.0/reg- fixed-voltage.2/gta02-pm-usbhost.0/power_on echo device /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode Are you sure about echo 0 and echo device? Shoudln't echo 1 and echo host be there instead? and /opt/qtmoko/bin/usb-device.sh: echo 0 /sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-gpio.0/reg- fixed-voltage.2/gta02-pm-usbhost.0/power_on echo device /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode OK, thank you ! I did changes according to what you wrote and according to dmesg messages, FR is now able to detect the devices. See messages that showed up after I connected my flash drive: 25583.65] s3c2410: changing usb to host [25618.74] usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using s3c2410-ohci and address 11 [25618.92] usb 1-2: New USB device found, idVendor=090c, idProduct=1000 [25618.92] usb 1-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [25618.92] usb 1-2: Product: Flash Disk [25618.92] usb 1-2: Manufacturer: USB [25618.92] usb 1-2: SerialNumber: FBD1004260016292 ... and that's all. No partitions were detected, etc. If I connected USBtoRS232 converter, FR detected it but device /dev/ttyUSB0 is not generated. I have no idea what's wrong. Module for the converter is present (pl2303) - when I load it manually (by modprobe), device ttyUSB0 appears, but can't be used. Stty complains about inapropriate ioctl for device and echo whatever /dev/ttyUSB0 is not transmitting a byte. I have also fixed this in git now, thanks for letting us know! 3/ Where am I to copy MP3 files to make MediaPlayer see them? I copied them to /media/card/Documents/audio/mpeg You can use /media/card/Documents - all subdirs should be searched by qtmoko document system scanner. Yes, now it works! Although even if I rescan the system, files that are no longer on the uSD card are still listed in Documents. 4/ Does anyone know how to set FreeRunner to play music over bluetooth audio stream? AFAIR it is called A2DP. Radio in my car is able to play such stream so I'd like to use it. A2DP support should work from GUI. I have already described it in v26 announce, anyway here is copy paste: A2DP (bluetooth audio) support works too but with some glitches. You need headset with A2DP support. After pairing press Supported services from bluetooth device context menu. New button Connect audio (A2DP) should then appear. Sometimes it fails to connect. For me it help putting headset in pairing mode, restart phone and then the button works. If you make the bluetooth audio device default it will work in all alsa programs, but expect problems e.g. with GSM calls. If you dont make it default GSM will be ok. However only QMplayer can detect it and use it now. 6/ IS there a way how to enter Czech letters using FR keyboard ? ... at least in Navit? Street names in Navit are using czech letters and I'm not able to enter their names without having such letters on the keyboard. It should be possible and not very difficult to implement it. There is already package for russian keyboard (in Settings-package management). After installing it and switching language to Russian you can select it for input. Sources are here: https://github.com/radekp/qtmoko-apps/tree/master/keyboard-addons/keyboard- russian-abc Please note that it's the finger frinedly keyboard [1] and russian letters will appear after pressing switch. 8/ Can I install ipk packages to QtMoko? You can only use .deb (native debian packages) or .qpk (qtmoko package system). Most of .deb apps are for X11 and you can use them with QX application. I think all possible qpk should be available under Settings- Package management. 9/ People I call with are complaining about bad sound quality. Did it happen to any of you? It depends what bad sound quality means. There is problem with buzz which is hardware problem and must be fixed in hardware. IIRC i have never had this problem but you might not be so lucky. It can be fixed by soldering capacitor - you can find more details on wiki if you search for
Re: Good evening to everyone
Thank you. Tommorow at work I'll try to make a call from my desk phone to FR to determine what people mean by where the hell are you calling from?. I hope I can do buzzfix by myself. I work in Honeywell design center as HW desing eng. so I have some experince with soldering :-) and we have very nice tools in our lab. I believe its not gonna be worse that changing 0402 resistor on incredibly expensive Max-t PXI card with group of frightened SW engs. standing behind my back :-) But I'll try to join the conference anyway..

QtMoko calendar
Hello freerunners ! First I wish you an happy new year with lots of QTMoko releases ! ;) In the QT help on the FR there is a section about remote calendar synchronisation (Google calendar), but I could not find any menu item to do that. Is there a plan to develop a sync tool on QTMoko ? Regards, Thomas ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
