At least NEON is pipelined and should be a lot faster on more complex code

quite nicely for floating point math.
Hi,
Please open a report on http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla with your test
sources and command line, at least GCC developpers will notice there's
interest :).
GCC comes with some builtins for neon, they're defined in arm_neon.h
see below.

This does not sound like a good idea. If the code has to be modified and changed into something nonportable, there are way better options than intrinsics. I've no idea if this comes from a standard but ARM seems to imply arm_neon.h is supposed to be supported by various toolchains: http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dht0002a/ch01s04s02.html GCC and RVCT support the same NEON intrinsic syntax, making C or C++ code portable between the toolchains. To add support for NEON intrinsics, include the header file arm_neon.h. Example 1.3 implements the same functionality as the assembler examples, using intrinsics in C code instead of assembler instructions. (nice test :) But the quality of generated code is quite bad. That's also something to be reported to gcc bugzilla :) Seems that in some limited cases GCC is making progress on neon: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43001 I'm building current SVN g++ for arm to see what it does on your code (GCC 4.4.1 get it to run in 1.5s on an 800 MHz efika MX box).

I expect the hardware can do it, but it needs some work in kernel space. The 2.6.29 kernel can appear as an ethernet, serial, mass storage, midi audio or printer device. Anything else, needs a driver written. Gadget drivers can also be in user space, using gadgetfs, but I don't know of any examples. Hi, Thanks for your answer! Looking around for gadget I found: http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/ Other controller and gadget drivers are in development, but are unreleased or not published here. Examples that have seen some degree of light include: * HID driver (userspace, with gadgetfs), * MTP (Media Transfer Protocol, PTP++) driver (userspace, with gadgetfs), * two different printer class drivers (used in various products), * audio class driver (very experimental). * video class driver (very experimental). (HID is keyboard+mouse+other input devices) I found a discussion of some issue with Issues with simulating a keyboard device with gadgetfs here: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-usb/2009/4/10/5455984/thread Which points to an unapplied kernel patch. So transforming a N900/N810 as a pocket USB keyboard (+ mouse/tablet), and may be hacker wireless IP KVM using camera/webcam over LCD looks like quite a bit of kernel-level work :).

Re: N770 OS2007 hacker edition made it to the title page of Linux Weekly News
Thanks for the link. I saw no correction of the statement on the first article: The really bad news showed up with some of the other interesting packages, such as vim and gnumeric. The application manager will happily download the packages before popping up a window which says: Unable to install: some application packages required for the installation are missing. Such a message would perhaps have been acceptable ten years ago on some distributions. One would not expect to see it on a Debian-based system in 2007. There is no excuse for an application manager which is unable to handle dependencies anymore. Given that's just some misconfigured/misdocumented third party repo/deb, you can get those messages in any deb/apt based Linux current distribution so that's quite unfair to the app manager application.

Re: [maemo-developers] Re: N800, xkb and Sierra full size keyboard
Hi Sergey,
From my limited reading and knowledge, it looks like Nokia
started from fairly recent xkb files, most of them
start with RCS tags (see below symbols/gb for a 200610 example).
I noticed a directory symbols/nokia_vndr which has
a few file that look Nokia local. There is no explicit
licence for these files, I'd appreciate if someone
from Nokia could clear this aspect (at least informally).
Meanwhile, I'll ship you a tarball of my N800 /usr/share/X11/xkb/
in private so you can check stuff.
I'm still interested on how to do the EIGHT_LEVEL/level5
stuff or more symply how to tell Hyper_L+key to do something
in xkb language, I looked around but could not find a single
example of using more than AltGr (level4) in xkb.

Actually, in xkeyboard-config CVS you can find samples of many

I've opened https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9745 More a doc bug than anything else. As I said there is zero useful doc around, so I ended up hacking around and it's not pretty and not doing what I want. I'm totally amazed to have found zero example of how to do something as simple as: Fn+e = send the x symbol AltGr+e = send the y symbol Cmd+e = send the z symbol having the key codes for Fn, AltGr and Cmd (using xev). Is that totally impossible with xkb? Once that documentation problem fixed, I'll provide a full mapping for the stoaway sierra keyboard in about five minute.

What I'd recommend is creating your own variant in symbols/inet and mapping whatever the keycode is to 0xfe11 - also updating rules/xorg accordingly (there is a list of inet keyboard at the top). Also, instead of modifying existing symbols/gb variant - would you please consider adding new variant to symbols/gb?

Hi,
I have an N800 and a sierra bluetooth keyboard. It looks like the Fn
key of this keyboard is not processed by the keyboard but sent
to the N800 and interpreted as the Menu key, so in practice all keys
that should be accessible using the Fn key as modifier don't work. This
includes F1..F12, PageUp/Down, EuroSign, YenSign, ... so it's
pretty annoying.
It looks like there is lots of interesting keyboard stuff
in /usr/share/X11/xkb/ on my N800, any idea on how to define an adapted
layout? (I assume defining the Fn key as a modifier Hyper_R or something
then adding definitions on the other keys.)
Thanks in advance,
Laurent

[maemo-developers] VNC from maemo to ubuntu edgy desktop now working
Hi, Just to let you know that the ubuntu people were kind enough to integrate the vino CoRRE bug fix into their edgy-proposed repository (Version: 2.16.0-0ubuntu2.3), so now vncviewer 0.4.1 works when connecting to an edgy desktop: I tested from my Nokia 770 to my 1680x1050 desktop (password protected) without problem so far (not that reactive - a bit better in 8bits - but it works :). The story is here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/70986 VNCviewer 0.4.1: http://physik.de/770/ In particular when some web pages aren't displaying, I can use my desktop browser. Now let's try openvpn :). Laurent http://guerby.org/blog/ ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
[maemo-developers] Maemo Python Tutorial code areas broken

The easiest way to get off the list is to provide answers, but you can also try convincing me other ways. This is an attempt to improve our communication by providing a short summary reminder for busy people to act on. I'll try to keep up with the experiment for a few weeks and see what happens. Great! Something I mentionned a few times on this list is for people using their Nokia 770 as a sound recorder (I did and it works quite well without equipment): https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=717 Since the opening of this request, maemo recorder was developped (thanks to the authors :): https://garage.maemo.org/projects/maemo-recorder/ But it produces .ilbc files that I couldn't read anywhere except on my Nokia 770. A converter or direct output in a more readily available format would be great.

I google'd around, but the only pages mentionning dspilbcsrc or audio/x-iLBC were maemo related. I tried browsing https://stage.maemo.org/viewcvs.cgi/maemo/ but couldn't find sources for a coder/decoder for iLBC, any idea?

The connection with my bluetooth GPS (Globalsat BT359) was slow to establish (10 seconds) and unreliable (max 30 minutes, typical 5 minutes) with the previous IT2006 (26-8), with the new IT2006 (39-14) the connection is reliable (one hour and counting) and establishes in a fraction of a second (too fast to see!).

[maemo-developers] Bluetooth headset news?
http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2005-December/002191.html Brad Midgley wrote two monthes ago: I'm overseeing the bluetooth audio on linux project... Linux only supports SCO transfers for CSR chips. To use the current btsco stuff, Nokia is going to have to contribute a SCO driver to the kernel for whatever bluetooth chip they put in the 770. It's possible that they will route SCO to PCM hardware (direct to audio hardware or even the dsp) rather than HCI (to the cpu). If this is the case, btsco etc will need a little hacking to work that way. (Or even better, to be rewritten) Any news on this? I've been unable to locate any information using google. I've seen some nice Nokia Bluetooth Headsets while shopping this afternoon, would be great if Nokia Headsets worked with Nokia 770 :).
