 Presumably the actual target libs you want are sitting there in the OM
 distribution packages, and the includes and other bits and bobs are
 likewise just sitting there in the -dev OM distribution packages.


I was able to package a working toolchain (atleast it builds
openmoko-dialer2) which includes the missing libs mentioned above and
few others. As you said most of the libs were included the OM dist.

 What we need is to enable to install these into the toolchain somehow,
 rather than make that a special do it at the factory operation to get
 things into toolchain.


Agreed, but till that time if anyone is interested in the toolchain I
can put it up somewhere.

Re: GTA01 battery charge circuit: ID pin?

 Hi,
 
 I have a GTA01 and want to use it even when I don't carry a computer
 with me. I read that the battery charge circuit of the GTA02 will
 switch to high current if a 48k resistor is present between the
 mini-USB ID pin and ground. Does this also apply to the GTA01, i.e.,
 is it worth hacking up a cable for that model?

47k (no need for 48k-1% ;) detection is defined and built in to the hardware 
of GTA01 as well - just checked the old schematics and datasheets.
Dunno whether the sw is handling it correctly...

I tried out the ASU software update on my GTA01 tonight, and took a 
short video of it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ISHrtuQuGM

The interface seems really responsive, way better than the GTK version.  
The keyboard seems quite nice, and worked well with a stylus (better 
than the video might suggest, I was working around the camera).  There 
are a bunch of little glitches in the graphics, and most of the 
applications seem to be nonexistent.  The sliding interface seems odd, 
however I will reserve judgment on it for now.

There are some commands that only operate in the proprietary binary

binary and NMEA stuff coexists on the same UART.

Some stuff like stashing and restoring the data it took time to get from
the satellites is done in the proprietary binary mode, handy to recover
GPS quickly from suspend for example.

We're looking to develop a combined DGPS and A-GPS application for the
platform, for which we need the data contained within this binary
protocol. We're already using an application that gets GPS data from
GPSD (TangoGPS), one that gets its data from the FreeRunner's internal
serial port (an in house produced geo-tagging application); but now
we're thinking of higher accuracy applications.

All will be released at openarchaeology.net when it's ready.

Bluetooth headset is not bad.  It's certainly still useable.
Hmmmso it isnt advised to use the headset jack and the external speakers at 
the same timeI'm wondering, do all sounds get routed to the headset device 
when it is plugged in?  If it doesnt do this, surely we can configure 
pulseaudio to?

As for the FM transmitter, I was just going have something like this: 
http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=enrls=com.microsoft:en-usq=FM+transmitterum=1cid=8369282666750210988

So ideally, I'm going to have the car charger plugged into the usb port, the FM 
transmitter plugged into the headphone jack, a GPS antenna connected to the 
antenna port, and a bluetooth headset paired with it via bluetooth.  Haha!

It's good to hear there are no feasable problems initially.  I'm finishing up a 
different project I'm working on right now, and will start drawing up code flow 
diagrams etc soon.

One question I still have though: Is it possible to catch the incoming call 
signal from the GSM modem before the dialer app gets it, and handle all the 
call stuff in my app?  Will I need to rework all of the call taking code?  Or 
is there an interface into the current call taking code that I can talk to,

Converting Blackberry contacts into QTopia

2008-05-28 Thread Ian Darwin

I won't say it was easy or pretty, but I did it.

The only two things I really need the Blackberry for (apart from stable 
calling :-)) are the password safe (which I have written a replacement 
for, and others exist), and the alarm clock (might have to put a new 
fresh battery in my alarm watch).


Trying to cut the umbilical cord to my Blackberry 7290 before its aging 
bones turn to dust, I've been moving stuff to my ASU-software Freerunner.


Note that ** I do not advocate that anybody else do this yet**.

I'm just documenting what I did in case anybody else likes living on the 
edge (Hey, I run OpenBSD -current on my laptop, so I can put up with 
e.g., OpenOffice being broken for a day or two while I resolve 
conflicting ports updates). Or if somebody wants to try this once things 
are more stable :-)


1) Getting contacts out of Blackberry (requires Unix or Linux, might 
work on Windows with emulation of UNIX: cygwin, mingw, etc).


Download 'barry' from http://www.netdirect.ca/software/packages/barry/

Run btool to dump the Contacts database to contacts.txt (I forget the 
exact syntax here, sorry). Do NOT use the LDIF option!


2) Convert contacts to SQL format for SQLite.

Download my barrycontacts2qtsql from 
http://www.darwinsys.com/openmoko/barrycontacts2qtsql


Or, setup an anoncvs form my repo as per instructions
at http://javacook.darwinsys.com/download.html; it's in the scripts 
project, as are the backup and restore scripts cited below (hundreds of 
other UNIX shell scripts too); this way you'll get updates if I make any.


Run it:

awk -F': +' -f $(SCRIPTS)/barrycontacts2qtsql contacts.txt  contacts.sql

3) Grab a copy of the existing database

ian:15$ cat bkup_om_contacts
#!/bin/sh

scp phone2:/Applications/Qtopia/qtopia_db.sqlite ~/openmoko/


4) Merge bb contacts into sqlite

In theory using any sql database tool (I used my own SQLRunner tool (see 
http://javacook.darwinsys.com/download.html) with the sqlite-jdbc driver 
from www.zentus.com/sqlitejdbc/ - but that is a LOT of work for you to 
set up; you can probably use the sqlite-browser from
http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/ and use the Import Database 
feature (which does allow you to add to an existing database). Untested 
though.


5) Make sure Contacts is not running, then Scp the merged database back 
to the phone.


ian:16$ cat restore_om_contacts
#!/bin/sh

scp ~/openmoko/qtopia_db.sqlite phone2:/Applications/Qtopia/
ian:17$

6) Lauch the Contacts application.

I now have 800 or so entries in my Contacts list!

For information on setting up TCP/IP to the phone, don't ask me, it's on 
the Wiki.


The three scripts of mine that I mention here can be downloaded  in

 ~ It certainly works out OK for USB memory sticks anyway.  Battery life
 will be impacted it is fair to say though.

not to sound like too much of a nut... I love my portable tech gear...
but there is a battery-operated hub that might be interesting to toss
in the mix (CP-H420MP). I'm ordering one now to try it together with
everything.

 If we have pppd in the rootfs I will give it a spin later, since I got
 it working on my laptop using pppd and magic dialler / expect type scripts.

ppp stuff is either in the rootfs or it is just an opkg install away.
I had to add option and usbserial from the modules tarball.

Re: Any Stats on Battery life....

2008-05-28 Thread einstein

Hi,

yesterday my Freerunner runs over 12hours. I charged it over night, 
7hours without fast charge. Only GSM was on. Your're right with the 
daily use. i have a short call, become an sms, write one and at least 
two reboots. Also i waked up the device all 30 minutes to see the 
battery state.


At the moment i have a second run, so i will top the 12 hours, i feel 14  ;)

Today i become an call and after this, the freerunner don't go back to 
suspend. I reboot the device, after that, the suspend mode is working :/


Also i will test how long you can call with it...

A disturbance in the force?

2008-05-28 Thread Ian Darwin
Once today, while my FreeRunner was plugged in on USB, I tapped the 
screen to wake it up, and it came up, but all the pixels in text were 
jiggly, as though the screen were being refreshed at the wrong rate. 
When I called up the qwerty keyboard, it appeared quite scrambled.
Sadly I didn't have a video camera trained on it at the time, and by the 
time I whipped out my pocket video camera, it had gone into suspend 
mode; when I hit the power button to awaken it, the problem was gone!


I know it's not my eyesight :-) This really happened. But only once.

I'll make sure I have the video camera handy in case it comes back,
although, recording a 640x480 video of the freerunner will be pretty 
grainy and probably won't accurately show the problem (due to things 
like refresh rates)... Sigh.

QTopia Contacts issue

Now that I have so many contacts, it would be nice if you had more 
control over the list format. The only choices I see (under 
Options-Display Settings) are First Last or Company and
Last,First or Company. I'd like to see an option that allowed company 
names and person names to be intermixed, so I had one big alphabetical

Should this kind of thing go to the QTopia mailing list or forums, or

 One question I still have though: Is it possible to catch the incoming call

 call stuff in my app?  Will I need to rework all of the call taking code?  
 Or is there an interface into the current call taking code that I can talk 
 to, possibly over dbus?

The way I understand it (I'm *NO* OM-sw-guy!) the gsmd will start the dialer 
app on inbound call, then communicate with it over dbus. probably you 
can kick out the original dialer and have gsmd start your app instead. I 
think it shouldn't be rocket science to have this even configurable to switch 
profiles on the fly. Not sure anyway if the original dialer has some methods 
to talk to via dbus, but in the end it's called bus, so probably you even 
can register for the same events like dialer and talk to gsmd concurrently to 
dialer, which shouldn't have to say much as long as it's not triggered by 
user-interaction.
Again, please note: I have not the slightest idea yet of all this, just doing 
hw for gta03+, no time for recent sw ;-)

As Marcel said, I believe it's a hardware issue - the touch-screen
device itself needs to support multiple touch points. The one on the
freerunner, if there are 2 points being pressed at once, for example,
returns the geometric average point between them.

The capacitive touchscreen of the Freerunner only detects a single point and
it will not be possible to change that.
So no, the Freerunner is not multitouch ready and will most likely never
be.

Hi Jan,

I don't believe the screen used for FreeRunner can resolve multi
touch. Unfortunately it's a hardware issue not a software one.

From the hardware page of the wiki
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_GTA02_Hardware

It's a resistance type touch sensor.

But that brings another question (which probably needs another thread),

* Can we put it somewhere on downloads.openmoko.org
* Should we create another project on project.openmoko.org.
* Or do we put the responsibility on whoever ported it, to host the app.

 or even unpack helper scripts as part of the toolchain so people can use
 it for building against their own packaged libs in a coherent way.

Totally agree.  But more so: it should be the basis of our offering to

Hi,

the day is over an the freerunner turns off after 16hours. I charged it
over night, 7 hours long. So i only turn on the gsm. I don't use the
Freerunner often. A short gps session of 15min an some sms, one short
call, one missed call! And in the afternoon i wake up the freerunner
every 30min to check the state of the device.

I am supriesed of this. yesterday i think 14 hours are possible.

Well, i think all the developers do a great job, and there are many
opertunitys for more standby time.

So now i go to bed, in 7 hours my night is over.

I wasn't able to use the keyboard with my finger.  Once a letter is pressed,

correct mistakes.  There was a different keyboard on the original Qtopia builds 
that had a magnifying-key feature that seemed to make this easier.  It is 
entirely possible that I missed something here though.  I do like the gesture 
support (slide left to backspace, forward to insert space, down for enter, up 
to switch keyboards), but I would like to see something that indicates that 
gestures are being performed (perhaps a line that shows a trail of where your 
finger has been?).

The predictive keyboard bit might help but I haven't become proficient with it 
yet.  It seemed weird that it shows two lists of possible words (one horizontal 
across the top of the keyboard, one in a dropdown box).

Also, when running a regular X application (remote xterm), it seemed like I had 
to press enter (or tab) to get the characters to be sent to the app, which made 
it very difficult to enter things into the terminal.  But usability in actual 
phone-apps is probably more important :-D.  Perhaps a direct-input mode 
is/could be implemented for that sort of application.

The whole interface was very smooth though.  I'm suddenly much more optimistic 
about the project!

But that brings another question (which probably needs another thread),

http://project.openmoko.org.

The usual way is to add the package to OpenEmbedded, and then add it's 
name to the task-openmoko-feed.bb recipe so that it automatically gets 
built, packaged and deployed to the official download site.


Packaging and publishing random applications here, there and everywhere 
is just going to fragment the set of applications available to users.


Also, I am much more likely to trust a package recipe that I can build 
and install myself using OpenEmbedded (or download from an official site 
where the package has been built from source by a trusted autobuild 
system), rather than downloading some unknown, possibly virus-tainted 
binary package from some random site ...

to correct - just backspace! :) (left slide). the magnifying thing is possible
- but somehow i saw it as superfluous as chances are u press and release very
fast like a keypress on a normal keyboard and then notice the mistake. even so
- the dictionary lookup will be correcting if it's in the dictionary and not
too far of a typo (press too far away from intended key). admittedly the
dictionary we ship has only 5000 words - but hey. it's a simple text file. :)

 The predictive keyboard bit might help but I haven't become proficient with
 it yet.  It seemed weird that it shows two lists of possible words (one
 horizontal across the top of the keyboard, one in a dropdown box).

horizontal is for quick selecting the most likely matches for correction (or if
no matches - exactly what you typed), and if it doesn't fit u can access ALL
matches from the popup list.

 Also, when running a regular X application (remote xterm), it seemed like I
 had to press enter (or tab) to get the characters to be sent to the app,
 which made it very difficult to enter things into the terminal.  But
 usability in actual phone-apps is probably more important :-D.  Perhaps a

it's possible we can do this - in svn there is even a full qwerty kbd layout i
initially used - with ctrl, alt, etc. for terminal junkies, BUT for now
correction is always-on.

 The whole interface was very smooth though.  I'm suddenly much more
 optimistic about the project!

 Open Embedded is the basis for current OM build system, it has a

 1,100 packages when I tried to use it to compile ONE package, many of
 these packages were built for host.  It was unable to build its thousand
 packages of fun on Fedora 9 so I was unable to use it -- at all.
 
 In fact all of the target packages it wanted to compile were sitting
 there already compiled in the distribution packages, it did not need to
 do any of it.  All it needed was to use the prebuilt toolchain like you
 did, and unpack existing target packages and their -dev into the host
 like you did, and I would have been away.

 Totally agree.  But more so: it should be the basis of our offering to
 devs.  Vast bulk of potential devs only want to recompile THEIR package
 and just link against distro packages, or cherrypick one distro app to
 modify.  Package-based toolchain is the perfect, lean basis for this.

gentoo is a weird approach, that discourages potential devs from giving it a

 Question:
 Is it possible to charge the Neo Freerunner when using the USB port in host
 mode, by ascerting LOGICAL hostmode and by NOT asserting EN_USBHOST?

It's not just related, it goes to the core of the issue. :)

Joerg assured us that we can do this. When the 47k resistor is
present, EN_USBHOST will be disabled so power will be coming in from
the outside on usb +5 to charge the battery and power the usb client,
and neo's usb will be in host mode.

problems about openmoko-browser2

Hi
i come to some problems when i run openmoko-browser2 on qemu. when i open
the web www.openmoko.org and click the link : history. and the browser
display it on the current page correctly.I input www.google.com . the
openmoko-browser2 open the website correctly.then i input the key word
baidu in the search filed. the google will list many websites related
baidu. but when i click one of them, the browser do nothing and can't open
the website.
when i use the gpe-mini-browser,it can work very well.As you konw the
gpe-mini-browser uses osb-nrcit and osb-nrcore at the core of the
application,the openmoko-browser2 uses webkit at the core of the
application. then i compare them and find  that there is a defined signal
req_new_window in osb-nrcit. the signal req_new_window can notify the
application that whether the browser create a new page to open the url.
Next, how can i display the website responding to the click?

you are not supposed to correct each single keystroke - just like on T9. 
Simply type ahead and *in the end* select from list the word you tried to 
type, probably that's nearest to _all_ of your physical keystrokes PLUS some 
recent/most-used-factor.

If I got that right, Raster?

Re: My experience with the Freerunner

babbled:

 you are not supposed to correct each single keystroke - just like on T9. 
 Simply type ahead and *in the end* select from list the word you tried to 
 type, probably that's nearest to _all_ of your physical keystrokes PLUS some 
 recent/most-used-factor.
 
 If I got that right, Raster?

correct - just keep typing the whole word. stop worring about correct until you
are done with the word (unless the correction list reduces down to 1 entry only
which is not what you want - that will be when what you typed is not in the
dict and it displays just raw what u typed).  then u need to worry :) but again
- it learns as u type so words only need be used once before they get a dict
entry in your personal user dict. over time all your own vocab should go in.

  It is deasserted if it sees you have a 1A charger in there, has been for
  a while.
 
 A related question: I presume that it is the electrical signal 
 EN_USBHOST which flips the switch which causes the USB port to source 
 current in host mode, as opposed to sinking current in device mode.
 
 This is of course what is expected of a USB host, but it also prevents 
 us from charging the Freerunner when the USB port is in host mode, if an 
 appropriate power source is available.
 
 Question:
 Is it possible to charge the Neo Freerunner when using the USB port in 
 host mode, by ascerting LOGICAL hostmode and by NOT asserting EN_USBHOST?
 
that's exactly how Y-cable_V1 *) works (besides replacing the needed 15k? 
pulldown-Rs also switched away by deasserting EN_USBHOST)
The combination LOGICAL hostmode + NO chargepump is exactly what the 
kernel-driver should initiate when seeing 47k


*) There's the spec for V2 already, that's capable of working with USB2.0-OTG 
(supported by GTA03, though USB2.0 will be there with GTA04 at the earliest)
See Y-Cable revisited somewhere on the lists - even more simple ;-)

silence (re mass production status) is deafening

2008-05-28 Thread Ron K. Jeffries
(I am not complaining, just sayin'...)

We're not hearing much about the status of production
for Freerunner. From available bits of info, I deduce:

-- some number of early experience units are out in the wild.
   (from reports on this list list, looks like about 10)

-- Lack of weekly status probably means there's some hitch

Sharing a bit more information would be A Good Thing.
It is what it is. Please share. ;)

Only a week ago there was a thread Whats up with the freerunner mass

|
| So now i go to bed, in 7 hours my night is

Re: Meta Toolchain Release (2008 May)

 I am still having trouble building openmoko-dialer2 with the toolchain. I
 can build openmoko-sample2 just fine.
 
 The toolchain seems to be missing libpulse. Initially, om-conf
 openmok-dialer2 gave both libebook and libpulse as missing. I found that
 libebook is present in the toolchain, but was missing the .pc file. After
 adding that it went ahead and only complained about libpulse.
 
 So I started building pulseaudio-0.9.10 with the toolchain. After resolving
 some dependencies like liboil and libsndfile, I was able to build libpulse.
 But now I stuck at libjana.
 
 checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
 checking for DIALER... yes
 checking for JANA... configure: error: Package requirements (libjana
 libjana-ecal libjana-gtk) were not met:
 
 No package 'libjana' found
 No package 'libjana-ecal' found
 No package 'libjana-gtk' found
 
 Any ideas, suggestions or can anyone provide with the required libraries ?
 
 Thanks
 
 -- Pranav

libjana isn't packaged in toolchain by default.  the default
compopents are:

libmokogsmd2, mokoui2, mokopanelui2, mokojournal2 and dependencies.

we cannot package everything or it's going to be a huge toolchain.
however, there are 2 interesting aliases in environment-setup:

alias opkg='LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/openmoko/arm/lib 
/usr/local/openmoko/arm/bin/opkg-cl -f 
/usr/local/openmoko/arm/etc/opkg-sdk.conf -o /usr/local/openmoko/arm'

alias opkg-target='LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/openmoko/arm/lib 
/usr/local/openmoko/arm/bin/opkg-cl -f 
/usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/etc/opkg.conf -o 
/usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi'

which means by opkg-target we can add the packages we need into the
toolchain directory.

at the moment the content of 

/usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/etc/opkg.conf

is incorrectly pointed to local directories in build host.  if we
replace it by the corresponding URIs such as

http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily-feed/
http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily-feed/all
http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily-feed/armv4t
http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily-feed/neo1973
http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily-feed/om-gta01

then _theoretically_ we can just do

opkg-target update
opkg-target install libjana-dev

I haven't tried this approach before because OE suits me just fine.
however, for those who just want to make apps I think it's an right way
to start.

John
