Re: qtmoko v32 (experimental) - led indicators
hi, since v31 I fount a reduced led light under the power button (near the usb port) while it's connected and charging the orange is really soft and almost unnoticeable I don't know if it's a wanted change or a bug a similar issue with the wifi blue led, but it remains completely off and it's now unclear when we have an open connection unless we open the internet tool.

Re: qtmoko, address book issue (v32 edition)
here I am again on this topic ;P I know you are going to kill me because I insist too much on it :D today I switched from v31 to v32, both of them stored on my uSD as rootfs. iirc I added in my address book with v31 at least 5 new contacts. now I've ereased the uSD (mkfs) and installed v32 right after the first boot and waiting for the full load of the contacts from my sim I noticed, first of all, every name is now truncated at 12 chars... but this is off topic here. but the other thing on which I'm 100% sure is two of the new contacts I had in previous system is now disappeared. I think they was stored only on the sqlite file and not copied on the sim card too. the other was saved correctly, or almost... I do not know yet if 12chars length is only a presentation/cosmetic bug now I've added a new, single, contact in v32 saving the number from a message (the sender of the sms) with a label of 11chars, powered down my gta02, booted and now it's correctly there in my address book... no bug this time -- ALFA21 IS PROVIDED AS IS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

GTA04 hardware suggestion and discussions
Hi All! Here are some hardware suggestion for discussion: 1) Possibility of IR RC5 receiver/transmitter 2) Possibility of IRDA transceiver 3) Possibility of a video-link? Use touch-screen as a color matrix (2D) barcode video transmitter - and the camera as a receiver (half or full duplex). Let the link automatically adapt to to half duplex, if you need to turn your smartphone to establish the other half duplex connection. The link should also adapt frame rate and if the camera and/or screen is dirty - or the link is through a dirty window. I have no idea how fast the link can be as a function of distance. The link should automatically adapt if the video color matrix (2D) barcode is mirrored in any way - or played backwards. 4) Antenna diversity of (preferably pattern, space - or polarisation diversity): * GSM/UMTS? (receive diversity incl. external antenna). * 802.11(a)bg(n) (diversity) (W2CBW009Di: For Dual Antenna application) Almost every laptop has diversity. * FM-receiver (receive diversity requires 2*Si4721 - uC selects the best signal (listen to one - let the other turn on and scan when the listen-signal has to low S/N ratio) - or you can listen to one and record another). * GPS? (receive diversity including external antenna). For FM-diversity you can use a 180 degree hybrid (two loaded LC-circuits?) to separate common-mode and differential-mode - for diversity - if three space divided poles are available. I know that there is a capacitance between ear-wires and their ground, so I do not know, how well it will work. Note that some impedance matching might be needed. For VHF/FM the head-phone cable might be used. The diversity might be implemented isolating ground by a adequate inductor (100MHz parallel LC-circuit) - and two high-pass filter from left and right earphone non-ground wires - and the GTA04 itself as a kind of ground/third-wire. - Links: Matrix (2D) barcodes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode#Matrix_.282D.29_barcodes PCB-antennas (small): http://www.numatechnologies.com/pdf/foilantennas.pdf An antenna that can be sized for 100MHz reception around the perimeter of the PCB?

Spatial diversity employs multiple antennas, usually with the same characteristics, that are physically separated from one another. Depending upon the expected incidence of the incoming signal, sometimes a space on the order of a wavelength is sufficient. ... Pattern diversity consists of two or more co-located antennas with different radiation patterns. ... A polarisation difference of 90° will result in an attenuation factor of up to 34dB in signal strength. By pairing two complementary polarizations, this scheme can immunize a system from polarization mismatches that would otherwise cause signal fade. Additionally, such diversity has proven valuable at radio and mobile communication base stations since it is less susceptible to the near random orientations of transmitting antennas. ... http://web.archive.org/web/20060427002449/www.tvhandbook.com/support/pdf_files/Chapter17_7.pdf Quote: ... Diversity is only of value for the relatively rapid fading caused by multipath. This kind of fading is encountered extensively at HF and for tropospheric and iono- spheric scatter propagation at higher frequencies. Similarly, mobile vehicles passing through a static multipath field at VHF and UHF encounter such fading as a result of their motion. ... 180 degree hybrid: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Combine2.svg Sum uses sum of ear-wires - and third-wire. Difference to some extent uses only ear-wires. Pattern Diversity: 90 degree hybrid: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Combine2.svg X uses ear-wires in one direction. Y uses ear-wires in the other one direction. 180 degree hybrid and 90 degree hybrid might be combined. One 90 and two 180 degrees?

I have also connected sine wave from generator to the WD8753 mic input and cheched it on the WD8753's output with the oscilloscope. It seemes that the audio codec chip gets into trouble (distortion, oscillations) if the overall audio path has higher gain than 1. I'm going to write more about this soon, with the scope pictures included (taken by my camera, I don't have DSO at home :-/ ) That would be interesting to see, but your summary seems wrong or perhaps oversimplified. Distortion is inevitable if you overload an amp, and oscillation isn't unusual immediately after overload. It isn't a function of the overall path gain though. The wolfson has a chain of amps and volume controls, and it only needs overload at one of them to introduce distortion. Stick the gain too high on the first stage (mic input) and the distortion won't go away no matter how far you turn down the gain on later stages. This has been a long standing problem with the default volume settings. Yes, it is oversimplified. It is obvious that you can't fix distortion by lowering the gain of next-in-chain amplifier. You are just controlling the volume of already distorted signal.

Sorry I've been a bit busy on stuff and only now catching up here on the list. I'm using the latest classpath 0.98 and Jamvm 1.5.3 I can't remember the specifics at the moment but there was some feature of Java 6 that our system's code was using which required JamVM 1.5.3 which in turn required Classpath 0.98. I just used a OE recipe for those and build them for the OpenMoko. I tried the Cacao JRE on my eeePC and it soaked up resources as well so I never even bothered to build it for the phone.

There has been no such section in the Community Updates mainly because after the 2008 launch of Neo FreeRunner, there hasn't been continuation to the Openmoko Inc's pioneering phone hardware with (mostly) CC-BY-SA schematics, 100% free software stack and all the other freedom joy... until now. GTA04 GTA04 is a project by the long time distributor and hw developer, German company Golden Delicious. The name is loaned from Openmoko project because of the spiritual continuation - GTA01 was the codename for Neo1973, GTA02 was the Neo FreeRunner, and GTA03 was the canceled successor product. Besides offering improved versions of Neo FreeRunner (better battery life, better audio output), they've a complete replacement board planned to fit an existing Neo FreeRunner case and use the existing display. The key details of GTA04 include among else: * OMAP3530 ARMv7 CPU * UMTS/3G (HSPA) * USB 2.0 OTG * WLAN, BT, FM transceiver * Barometric Altimeter, Accelerometer, Compass, Gyroscope * Optionally camera Find your GTA04 information at the following addresses: * http://www.gta04.org/ - technical: u-boot, kernel, Debian... * http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=GTA04 - shopping page * http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=GTA04-Early-Adopter - the early adopter program, although already finished Latest news: * gta04-owner mailing list founded, although occasionally you will find news also from the openmoko-community list among else; join the list at http://lists.goldelico.com/pipermail/gta04-owner/ * First engineering sample (GTA04A2) is working in PDA mode (U-Boot in NAND Flash) * GTA04A3 is getting final PCB layout fine tuning * UMTS (3G) modules have arrived. And GTA04 likely to have 512 MB RAM, 512 MB NAND Flash and 1GHz DM3730 CPU. http://lists.goldelico.com/pipermail/gta04-owner/2011-January/25.html Visit the FOSDEM in Brussels, Belgium next weekend (5th/6th of February, 2011) to see GTA04 in action and discuss about it! See http://fosdem.org/2011/ , http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FOSDEM_2011 , http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2010-December/063899.html *** Distributions *** Distributions lists releases and other significant updates in distributions that have some support for the Openmoko devices. Debian GNU/Linux Debian is a universal operating system used on many embedded devices, servers and home computers. Using Debian on the FreeRunner gives access to the huge army of software packaged in the Debian repositories, already compiled for the Neo's ARM(v4) processor. Moreover, one can build one's own source files for programs without having to learn the OpenEmbedded way. For an existing Debian/Ubuntu user, choosing Debian for Neo FreeRunner makes phone a very familiar, trustworthy and flexible place to hack in. General news: * Third Openmoko specific Linux 2.6.34 kernel is available. Highlights: o Merge from qtmoko-v31 (2.6.34.7 stable patches, GPS suspend patch, resume reason patch) o Disable sysrq, unneededEXT4 support, UbiFS support o Configuration wishlist items: NFSv4, XATTR for EXT*, CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING, CONFIG_OPENMOKO_RESUME_REASON o Caveats: 1) No updated fso-config-gta02 yet in Debian, get your state files from eg. http://iki.fi/tjyrinki/moko/2.6.34/ 2) X.Org eats all the CPU unless you disable AutoAddDevices or remove extra /dev/input files, 3) Sys paths have changed, so you most probably want to add om gsm power 1 to /etc/rc.local (and install newest omhacks from pkg-fso if you already haven't) * Debian 6.0 is nearing completion! Planned release date is the weekend of FOSDEM, ie. 5/6th of February, 2011. For Neo FreeRunner, the Debian 6.0 status is the following: o No Openmoko support in the Debian kernel yet, you need to install one from pkg-fso repository: http://pkg-fso.nomeata.de/sid/allpackages o Otherwise you could survive with official, released Debian packages, but you are probably interested... + Newer versions of fso-config-gta02, fso-frameworkd and omhacks in pkg-fso + E17 wasn't released on time for Debian 6.0, so you need to get it from unstable (sid) repositories, or after the Debian 6.0 release from testing (wheezy in case of 7.0) to get for example Zhone software working * Omhacks

Thinking about a use case for gta02 (especially if gta04 becomes viable), will the current motherboard and video chip drive a larger lcd touch screen?

Im planning (- which means that it may not even happen :-) ) to drive LEDs by I2C drivers, or to add some latch between the LED and FR's processor. Zb. Glenn píše v So 22. 01. 2011 v 23:22 +0100: Hi All! Here are some hardware suggestion for discussion: 1) Possibility of IR RC5 receiver/transmitter 2) Possibility of IRDA transceiver 3) Possibility of a video-link? Use touch-screen as a color matrix (2D) barcode video transmitter - and the camera as a receiver (half or full duplex). Let the link automatically adapt to to half duplex, if you need to turn your smartphone to establish the other half duplex connection. The link should also adapt frame rate and if the camera and/or screen is dirty - or the link is through a dirty window. I have no idea how fast the link can be as a function of distance. The link should automatically adapt if the video color matrix (2D) barcode is mirrored in any way - or played backwards. 4) Antenna diversity of (preferably pattern, space - or polarisation diversity): * GSM/UMTS? (receive diversity incl. external antenna). * 802.11(a)bg(n) (diversity) (W2CBW009Di: For Dual Antenna application) Almost every laptop has diversity. * FM-receiver (receive diversity requires 2*Si4721 - uC selects the best signal (listen to one - let the other turn on and scan when the listen-signal has to low S/N ratio) - or you can listen to one and record another). * GPS? (receive diversity including external antenna). For FM-diversity you can use a 180 degree hybrid (two loaded LC-circuits?) to separate common-mode and differential-mode - for diversity - if three space divided poles are available. I know that there is a capacitance between ear-wires and their ground, so I do not know, how well it will work. Note that some impedance matching might be needed. For VHF/FM the head-phone cable might be used. The diversity might be implemented isolating ground by a adequate inductor (100MHz parallel LC-circuit) - and two high-pass filter from left and right earphone non-ground wires - and the GTA04 itself as a kind of ground/third-wire. - Links: Matrix (2D) barcodes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode#Matrix_.282D.29_barcodes PCB-antennas (small): http://www.numatechnologies.com/pdf/foilantennas.pdf An antenna that can be sized for 100MHz reception around the perimeter of the PCB?

Spatial diversity employs multiple antennas, usually with the same characteristics, that are physically separated from one another. Depending upon the expected incidence of the incoming signal, sometimes a space on the order of a wavelength is sufficient. ... Pattern diversity consists of two or more co-located antennas with different radiation patterns. ... A polarisation difference of 90° will result in an attenuation factor of up to 34dB in signal strength. By pairing two complementary polarizations, this scheme can immunize a system from polarization mismatches that would otherwise cause signal fade. Additionally, such diversity has proven valuable at radio and mobile communication base stations since it is less susceptible to the near random orientations of transmitting antennas. ... http://web.archive.org/web/20060427002449/www.tvhandbook.com/support/pdf_files/Chapter17_7.pdf Quote: ... Diversity is only of value for the relatively rapid fading caused by multipath. This kind of fading is encountered extensively at HF and for tropospheric and iono- spheric scatter propagation at higher frequencies. Similarly, mobile vehicles passing through a static multipath field at VHF and UHF encounter such fading as a result of their motion. ... 180 degree hybrid: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/62/Combine2.svg Sum uses sum of ear-wires - and third-wire.

http://jeepingben.homelinux.net/index.php?level=albumid=26 After attempting to use a bmp085 as a temperature sensor for my skiwax program (http://jeepingben.homelinux.net/wax/) and not getting good results (at least partially due to thermal leakage through the i2c wires), I added a mlx90614 to my freerunner. It is an infrared thermometer with a temperature range of -70C to 380C. It reacts quickly to changes in temperature and sort of fits in the freerunner case. Installation is similar to the Freerunner Navigation Board install. Christoph Mair has written a kernel module for it. The module is on gitorious, but is not yet available upstream. There is a similar part called a mlx90615 which is much smaller, but also has a smaller temperature range. It may not work with the current kernel module, but could probably work with small changes. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
