Re: Terminal for ASU

2008-07-22 Thread Cédric Berger
Indeed I fail to see the advantage of having no manual triggering of keyboard.
On my desktop PC, I have never dreamt of my keyboard popping out of a
drawer when it thinks I should need it...

And this morning, after my daily opkg upgrade... I rebooted ASU and I
am stuck, not even able to enter my SIM PIN !!
Because... there was no keyboard on the screen !

I exported all of my contacts into one file. Qtopia needed some time tohandle 
them, but in the end I was asked one time if I want to import 236 contacts.

However, I don't know how to change the order of the contacts. I 
want "Surname, Forename"...

I took some time to read the wikipedia pages for bother Prolog [1] and
Datalog [2], both interesting.
I found some Prolog libs for Python but not for Datalog, but I found
source code for "Datalog - A deductive database system for memory
constrained devices." [3], a quick look suggests it written in C.
Might be interesting.

I think it's important to keep jotting down potential uses for this
system, I think I may whip up a wiki page at some point.
With inference in mind, a small gui app which simply asks "Where are we now ?"
The user enters "Work", or "Home", etc.
The app informs the rule system about all the GMS towers it can
detect, and WIFI networks and the tag the user entered.
A pretty simple way of training the system, I think.

How about a location based home pages on the browser or rss.
I'm at the station (because the rule system infers that I am), show me
the traffic news rss.
At work, show me my Nagios status page.
At home my weather station page. (is that sad?)
Anywhere else, google please.

I'm pretty sure GSM locations would work for this sort of thing.

Comments welcomed.

I have been working on an Ubuntu package of the toolchain. I'm
currently testing it but if anyone want to help out take a look at:
http://andreasdalsgaard.blogspot.com/2008/07/openmoko-development-in-5-minutes.html

At the moment the package fixes the .la problem with an "evil hack"
that make the compilation process use an alternative libtool script.
Actually I would like to have ./configure pick up the LIBTOOL
enviroment variable instead but I have not figured that part out yet,
however I believe this might require another autoconf package.

 Qtopia has a more integrated aproach. They load plugins for  
 different
 features. (AFAIK)
 And the other systems launch new programs for each task. Sometimes
 even
 based on different frameworks. (e,gtk,qt)
 There are ideas how to speed them up. Like pre-loading or  
 integrating
 the basic phone apps into one binary.

 If you want speed now, take qtopia. What you get is a phone.
 The other systems go a few steps further...

It would look great on a motorla razr (or however these things are

Currently i like the gtk stack (2007.2)  best.

Btw. I don't say qtopia is bad. I just don't like it very much. (tough  
it works really well)
And Sharp Zaurus is proof that really nice qtopia based systems are  
doable.
And not using x11 is probably a very sane step, if you can live  
without the portability factor. (That's porting other apps)

I just don't like how qtopia looks and feels on openmokos phones. It's  
just too much as i am used from regular phones.
And it's dataaccess layer is the qtopia api (like accessing contacts).  
I would like this api probably very much if i would code something in  
qt for qtopia.
And i still have a project laying around here where qtopia phoene  
would fit very well.  Maybe i will some day use it.

But i want the extreme freedom for my phone not just opensource. And i  
wand something outrageous and maybe stupidly new and exiting.

There is no portability factor. Only which toolkit is available.

As one of our engineers here said on our internal discussion (and goes 
back to rasters comment):

"One of the neat advantages of Qtopia on Qt for Embedded Linux is that 
there is little penalty in converting back and forth between a QImage 
and QPixmap so we have used this extensively which makes quite a few 
things much easier and more possible than if things are based on X11 
where these conversions are expensive and you then need to put a bit 
more thought in to it. "

does anyone know of any sources of open phone dictionaries? by which i
mean lists of words that predictive text can look up against? one of
the things i've been looking forward to doing on the neo is being able
to type a word - say whangerei, a town in new zealand - and have the
phone recognise it, so i don't have to type it in letter by letter.
also, people's names, big companies, etc. is there anything out there?

i suppose place names could be scraped from open street map if nothing
exists already, but that's only part of it

or would scraping wiktionary for article titles be a better source? it

FWIW and IMAO, this definition of a "total fix" is impractical almost to
the point of uselessness. There will always be some noise in a tightly
packed product incorporating many high frequency sources. The question
is if the noise is significant (as it seems to have originally been).

Referring back a bit, it _is_ nice to hear though that the clock drive
tuning can improve the situation noticably even with SD clock on, should
probably give that a try myself one of these days. (Haven't tested GPS
in a while now, but it _would_ be nice not to have to send my unit in
for service :)

Again, kudos to the team for a job well done on all fronts, sw and hw,

But you have to select the right Category (e.g. Games) since Illume shows only 
a few categories in the launcher. I don't know what categories that are.

If at all possible, can someone who understands this explain it so we  
developers can add the hack/patch to our running Freerunners and

Personally, a kit would work for me.  I have fine pitch solder and a
nice iron, but not enough SMT parts to have that cap on hand (or
easily aquired).  I suspect others might not be so lucky though.

okay great, i'll keep an eye out for that update tomorrow and test it  
with my 8gig MicroSD card (kingston), which so far has been working  
very nicely.

\and may i just add: its very nice to be back in the openmoko

Re: GTA02 GPS rework for SD card interference issue

2008-07-22 Thread JW
well from what Andy says they have  found a software fix which
- keeps good SD card perf (for cards tested so far)
- doesn't degrade gps signal

the software fix will be in the new kernel very soon and
- switches off SD clock when not needed
- reduces the drive strength of the SD signal when on

so looks to me that the hardware kids can go ahead if they want to
but not proved necessary right now...

I think it's a SHA1-sum, but yes, this is the hash of the patch that was
the HEAD of stable git when this was pulled from there and built.  That
hash is the hash of the patch that adds these /sys files.  You can
search for the commit hash here or just hover cursor and read URL:

Caps for GTA02 GPS rework

2008-07-22 Thread Scott
I just bought ten, 10pf 0402 package ceramic caps from digikey.  Part 
number 399-1011-1-ND.   http://www.digikey.com


They are 2.5 cents apiece, min order 10.  With shipping they will 
probably be 50 cents apiece.


Once I get them, For a buck I will send one to anybody where a 42 cent 
US stamp will reach.  I only need two, so will have 8 extra.


I should have them in hand in a few days, and will post again when they 
are here and I verify the 0402 package is the right one.

A bit too many layers there for my taste. :)
A domain specific rules language implemented in ruby embedded in c?
The ruby layer does not seem to be thin enough to justify that.
(ok, writing rules in ruby is kind cool. As would any other real 
language be. Like lightweights like lua or certain lisp-ish languages. 
Even javascript would not be bad.)

Btw. I like the idea of a rules language. But why not something simple 
and stupid like for example SIEVE filters in cyrus imap.
That's a hand full of yacc and lex magic and some stupid engine code.
I mean, what we can match is pretty much defined by the fact that we 
match numbers and SMS.
A hand full of logic expressions on pre defined attributes should be enough.
My email filter is not smarter too, but email a lot more complicated. 
And it works well.

If someone puts the effort in to something like Prolog or Ruleby i will 
not argue. But it seems a bit overkill to me.

Re: replaced ringtone but it plays it really funny way

2008-07-22 Thread Yaroslav Halchenko
nah... that is though the first thing I thought -- pulse is there to
do resampling if needed. I think that my suspicion (said in my prev
email to the thread) is the root -- dialer's logic is a big weaked and
it doesn't really get idea either the sound has finished playing within
its timeout of 500ms (or 1500ms), thus it manages to start 3 requests to
play the same sound

You will need 'flux core solder' (normal 'resin' electronics solder), with a 
low wattage
soldering iron, like 15W. It also helps to apply the solder to all contacts 
first,
before putting the capacitor in place.

I agree with Rusty's idea (somewhere in this thread), if it's built as 
modules, the rules processing could be done by various efforts.
Python, Ruby, Sieve, Prolog, Datalog, C; how fantastic that we have the 
chance (and choice) of any (all), including those we haven't thought of 
yet.  Fertile times indeed!

For some (me) the FR is a toy of sorts, something to explore.
For others it's a tool, something to solve a problem with.
I suspect it's partly an act of rebellion too.

Sorry i don't think i have made myself clear. What i meant is that each
of the modifications has been claimed to be a fix, when i would think
they are only an improvement. What i am trying to get at is to find
which of the modifications gives the best improvement.

I know it is difficult to quantify this but it would be nice to know
that say the clock current drive decrease by itself improved the SN
ratio by say 6dB, the capacitor mod by itself improved the SN by say
3dB, and combined the change was 6dB. If this was the case just the
software mod would be necessary. If on the other hand the combined
change was 9dB then both would be worthwhile.

I agree with this. I find it very impressive that they can get three
radio transmitters, four radio receivers, high speed electronics and
audio working in such a small package without more problems, and
probably done on a shoestring budget as well.

it says nothing... not specified as a design parameter. :) (another good reason
for a manual overried until auto-detection of a bt/usb keyboard is flawless.
even with a bt keyboard - it may be on, in your pocket or bag, but you may not
want to use it.. thus want a manual "give me a virtual keyboard anyway - bt
keyboard there or not". :)

i'm with you on this and i understand why an automatic keyboard is goo d(no
need to always manually bring it up when you'd want it anyway), but manual
control is going to be needed for a long time to come as it may never always
automatically do it right for you... :)

what gesture, where? how? how ill this be able to not conflict with operation
of other apps? i am not so hot on gestures - especially ones that use up the
"whole screen" or parts o the screen where apps run - as now gestures fight for
usability with apps themselves. there is no coordination. example:

if the gesture was "slide up the screen from bottom to top" - how is this
gesture different from me dragging my finger to scroll a list in the application
on my screen? how do i make sure only ONE of these happens (the keyboard pops up
OR the scroll happens) and not both?

IMHO - gestures are black magic box filled with cans of worms. i'd rather avoid
them unless you can guarantee the flow of the user action and
where it will go. it's not so simple.

either way - there WAS a button.. it was in the top-left corner of the screen
that was blank and unused anyway. it used up no extra screen space and was
obvious to hit. it was by far the best option available so far. if you hack the
illum theme (edje_decc illme.edj to decompile - edit the .edc and run build.sh
to rebuild... copy it back in place). you can add the button back - if you can
find it.

i'll let them speak up if they wish to be part of a debate on this. it's up to
them. i am not one way or another here. not going to defend or dob-in. i have
no vested interests one way or another. i have technical reasons why i think the
move to remove any such manual control is a bad thing and have made them clear
often enough. i am not going to get into it again. i am staying neutral - i
have my professional opinions and personal ones, but my job is to implement
what is designed by others to the best of my ability - if something is
technically not possible or utterly infeasible - i can't do it, but removing a
manual keyboard button is perfectly easy to do, and so it gets done.

if i hadn't made it clear.. i am being neutral on this - i am simply stating
the facts as they are. i am not wanting to beat anyone one over this. i am
just  stating facts. emotions and opinions thereafter are entirely those of
people as they wish to express them - they were not intended or written here.
just sticking to facts.

as such we are paid by openmoko to do what  we are told to do by the design
department and that is what we then do. you in the community can go and do your
own themes and patches and packages and do what u want.

well design documents are pretty thin on the ground. i was told so in
email/irc directly to do this. i had a manual button there originally and was
explicitly told to remove it. i argued that this was a bad move for many
technical reasons (porting of apps such as SDL games that don't use gtk or qt
that now all need modifications, i listed the apps it will break, the reasoning
of not always wanting a virtual keyboard (ie an entry box may be focused, but
you just want to READ the content, not edit) etc. etc.) but it was made
entirely clear that the button had to go - arguments or not. as i remember the
reasons being that "it cluttered the interface", was "confusing", "unnecessary"
and that "all applications can be modified to talk the protocol anyway". or
something to that effect. this was a while ago so i'm a little hazy on the
reasons - but it was something like that.

again - i'm neutral. i'm just a programmer. i just implement code.

yup. for qws your conversions are cheap/almost free, but in x11 - not so. it
probably is a matter of working with the x11 port of qtopia or changing the
assumption that such conversions are cheap/free (eg never even using pixmaps -
do everything software-rendered in client-space virtual framebuffers, as this
is exactly what happens with qtopia on qws with a dumb fb anyway). this
will never allow seamless acceleration and gfx-chip side functions doing as
much work as they can, but will probably function about as well as qtopia with
qws natively on a freerunner.

so indeed - you are right. you made an ASSUMPTION of qws and these things being
cheap conversions - though that may not be the case for some accelerated back
ends for qws... but anyway - it can be improved.many options as to how to do
it. x11 itself is not really a performance bottlneck - it is just the way you
use it that makes the difference between it being "a blocker for performance"
and a "it doesnt matter". :)

dbus. common look and feel - as long as there is choice and variety, this won't

stay :)

i guess i just don't lik the idea of a thin vertical stack where at each layer
1 choice has been made for me and i'm stuck with it, like it or not, or i move
to a whole different stack. eg - must use qt, or must use gtk, or must use efl.
allow the choice to be made at the latest stage - not the earliest. i prefer
the idea of an ecosystem where all these toolkits and mechanisms get along and
co-habitate. jungle vs ivory tower guess... i'm a jungle kinda guy! :) anyone

sure, but any non-qt app.. will be a behemoth to port. you either:

1. do a whole port of the app to qt/qtopia (work work work!)
  (not to mention now that this basically means you pay nokia a license fee,
or your app must be GPL, can't be mit-x11, bsd, APL, MPL etc.).
2. you port the toolkit (port gtk, efl, etc. etc.) to qtopia (and this also
then follows the above license issue), which when done once at least covers all
users of that toolkit, but which is no small feat
3. you write an xserver for qtopia/qws! (the server itself will be GPL or you
have to pay nokia), but you avoid license issues... and now anything that uses
x11 should work...

but the above all require work... a signficant amount of it.

SD Card

2008-07-22 Thread Peter Abplanalp
hi,

i am seeing a lot of things on the list about sd cards and that they
interfere with the gps and that call clarity is worse when using an sd
card.  i know that the gps issue has been addressed with a patch.  will this
patch also address the call clarity issue?  also, do i get the patch if i
install a daily build or do i need to build it all myself via the moko
makfile?

on a related note, what is the best way to format an sd card for use in the
freerunner?

thanks,

dfu-util: line 1: syntax error: "(" unexpected

2008-07-22 Thread Ben Cadieux
Hi Everyone,

Got my FR yesterday.  Neat device so far :)

I followed the instructions for reflashing, dfu-util gives this when I
execute it:
dfu-util: line 1: syntax error: "(" unexpected

I'm having trouble updating it though.  I've wget'ted it more than
once and checked the md5;

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# md5sum /usr/bin/dfu-util
84f0bd60bef2450e57bda627254faf3a  /usr/bin/dfu-util

I'm not sure if that's right or not.  I searched the lists but I seem
to be the only one with this issue, if not I'm sorry for not being
able to locate other e-mails.

nope. the patches are in the kernels upgradable by opkg. only if you can't

afair the latest uboots allow ext3, too, of what use a journal ever might

Dunno about the soldering iron, but if you never soldered 0402 before
you will certainly need to invest in some solder braid so you can
recover easily from any errors.  And don't breathe heavily on it :-)

I would definitely put this off until I tried tomorrow's kernel, it may
well remove the need for it.

Use an ESD safe soldering iron also.
Preferably one you can set tip temperature, though with a quick hand
thats not necessary.

  I believe you'll get less power consumption from the SD controller due

No fsck. An 8G SD with lots of little files would take a while to fsck
after a crash.

It would be interesting to get a number though, maybe
it's not as bad as I imagine. I'll add it to my upcoming SD tests.

I guess you're not a kernel coder... not only is the segment for these
definitively zero at start of kernel, but it is an offence against
./scripts/checkpatch.pl to explicitly zero these things.

I often forget that and zero them anyway because I like to see it, but
most times I remember to run checkpatch and have to go back and "fix"
myself...

Static is initialized to zero. But indeed, I too noticed this from the
patch, and would make it explicit to be more clear.

(Shan't bother to check if the C standard actually allows it to be
merely zeroed bits but nonzero when interpreted as an int...)

It's strange to have a script that enforces a worse practice, even when  
you really can assume that the segment is zeroed.

Re: have anyone changed his ringtone ?

2008-07-22 Thread Yaroslav Halchenko
for sure... I didn't experiment with sizes much but my attempt of 3M
in size led pulse to explicitely state that it is too big: just run that
pulse from cmdline, without -D and log-level=2 should be sufficient. You
would need to restart X so dialer reconnects to pulseaudio

also there seems to be a flaw in the logic (or communication with
pulseaudiot) of the dialer, so if you place lengthy ringtone, you will
get multiple copies of it playing with a delay from each other ;-)

Clock Configuration Question

2008-07-22 Thread reaper527

I have my clock configured to the proper date/time, however I was hoping to
set it up as a 12 hour (am/pm) clock instead of the 24 hour (military time)
clock it uses by default.

Does anyone know how to set this up? I did a google search on the date
command, but it didn't seem to take pm in the time parameter like the search
suggested.

FreeBSD / dfu-util

2008-07-22 Thread Ben Cadieux
Hi Everyone,

I got dfu-util to compile using the OSX patch for endian.h & byteswap.h.

Unfortunately, -l lists no USB devices.  I've tried using the --device
parameter, but that doesn't seem to help --- dfu-util sticks to its
guns that there are no DFU compatible devices.

I'm going to be setting up a FBSD box at some point to give some
developers of something unrelated to be ported to FBSD...is there
anyone that would like to take a crack at this?

How can I solve the TS Calibration in Landscape mode?

2008-07-22 Thread Alexander Syring
Hi
How can I solve the TS Calibration in Landscape mode?

I've tested ts_calibrate in landscape mode but the screen goes to portrait 
mode to calibrate.

Alex

well, Qtopia has this concept of a soft menu... So far only the software on 
the neo knows how to treat the properties set on the Qtopia windows to show 
the buttons.
So set DISPLAY=:0, show the addressbook on the screen of the neo, get a 
softmenu and click the buttons there..

Re: Reason for GPS problems found!

This is now starting to look great! I seem to be unable to get the
device into mode where it wouldn't be getting any fixes - suspend,
idle, power off, agps ui, switching GPS on and off, after everything
it's still ready for GPS action.

So, huge thanks for finding the glitch so that the GPS is now finally
really usable even without hardware fix!

It would be nice to know whether the S/N ratio is about as good with
the software fix as it's without SD card - it might not be, it might
be. If I get into situation that I can't get signal or it takes very
long to get a fix, it's easy to wonder whether the situation could be
even better...

Anyway, next step for me personally would be more to find out what's
wrong with GPRS functionality via which I could get the agps data to
speed up GPS even more.

Re: FreeBSD / dfu-util

2008-07-22 Thread Ben Cadieux
I've tracked down a little more.

In main.c, in the function list_dfu_interfaces(void) around line
~310...The USB tree is being walked, and 4 devices are detected (root
hubs?).

However, the for(dev = usb_bus->devices;.) loop never executes.
dev = usb_bus -> devices doesn't seem to return anything ever.

I've been poking around usbdevs.c, a FreeBSD command that returns USB
hubs and their devices, to see what's being done differently, but
haven't gotten anywhere so far.

Halting SD_CLK is the best behaviour for this of all, at that time the
cap doesn't bring anything aditionally measurable to the party.  That'll
be the case when you're not actively doing something with SD Card now.

When you are spamming SD Card tomorrow's kernel changes the default
drive power for those lines to the lowest.  Energy then at 1.5GHz from
that is 6dBm more than background level under those conditions, I guess
the cap will reduce it 1 or 2 dBm extra but it's already under the level
it seems to make any difference to GPS.  Combined with the fact we stop
the clock altogether normally I don't think the cap rework is needed...
if these positive reports keep coming anyway.

Hi Alexander,

This issue is in the bug tracker: http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1244
Though, I'm not sure if there has been any progress towards a fix yet.
Looks like Tony Tu is possibly working on it? (it is assigned to him)

Ah thanks, I feel like an idiot, I could have come up with the DISPLAY 
idea myself. Well luckily there seems to be sharper brains out here. :)

Nevertheless the fact that this problem existed, was identified months
ago by early testers, and it took this long to find the root cause.
I'm really quite surprised it managed to ship in this condition, when
the fix is fundamentally a hardware one.

Yes, I held AUX while turning on, got the boot menu with [NOR] next to
it and booted up.  I assume everything went okay.  I wasn't expecting
to be back in the GUI and using the phone as usual, but that's how it
is.

debugging pppd

2008-07-22 Thread Michael Kluge
Hi,

has anyone experience debugging pppd profiles? I have a profile 
(attached) for the German provider "simyo" (eplus reseller). The chat 
script "/etc/ppp/simyo-connect-chat" suceeds and I get the message 
"Serial connection established". pppd itself is started with 'debug' and 
'nodetach'. After the "Serial connection ..." message the script gets 
stuck without any error message :( If I stop it with Ctrl-C the pppd 
process is somehow still present in the backgound. No clue why, it 
should stay attached, right?

Any hints how to debug this stuff is highly appreciated :)
