[Community Updates] 2010-11-01 is out!
Hi, Newest community update now available at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Community_Updates/2010-11-01 and plain text version below. In addition to myself, the latest edition was brought to you by: - Hns - Rohezal - PaulWise - Vanous ( as usual, you can help out with the next edition at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Community_Updates/Draft_2010-12-01 ) Remember that when the time comes, feel free to do this publishing. I didn't do it a month ago, so no-one did :) - Period 2010-09-01 to 2010-10-31 *** Distributions *** 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: * New Openmoko specific Linux 2.6.34 kernel is now available as a package in the pkg-fso repository! Just do apt-get install linux-image-2.6.34-openmoko-gta02 (and check the symbolic links in /boot). Details at http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2010-October/063463.html * While Debian itself is in freeze, omhacks 0.12 with newer kernel support and more was released at the pkg-fso repository: http://pkg-fso.nomeata.de/sid/omhacks * The main information wiki page was put up-to-date: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner * Even the most conservative daily FR phone users might be willing to upgrade at least to latest FSO1 stack: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:TimoJyrinki#currentphonestack - of course, FSO2 (fso-gsmd) is also packaged and waiting for users... Codename: 'sid' Homepage: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner Image: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian *** Applications *** New Applications aTrack 0.8 APRS tracker and communicator for mobile devices. It turns your Neo into bidirectional APRS unit and besides others it allows you to track your position, do text messaging, object creation or display stations around. Homepage: http://atrack.googlecode.com/ Package: [1] Tested on: SHR-Unstable Application Updates Gamerunner GnuBoy 0.8 A gameboy emulator which runs very nice, even with sound (sometimes it freezes, then you have to press the A button and everything is ok). You need the gamerunner distro or a gamepad to use it. Using frameskip to run smooth at 320*240 pixel. In second controll mode in gamerunner you can use savestates by pressing top right corne to save and left lower corner to load. Select is right lower corner. Homepage: http://jlime.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=117t=3005 Package: [nopacket no packet sorry] Tested on: Gamerunner, QTMoko FoxtrotGPS 1.0.0 FoxtrotGPS is an offshoot of Marcus Bauer's excellent Free Open Source tangoGPS application, with a focus on cooperation and fostering community innovation. 1.0.0 announcement. * Gracefully recovering from gpsd shutting down * GPX routepoints support * Integration of distribution patches * Map tiles are displayed immediately after downloading * GeoRSS points can be imported as POIs (script) * Various other fixes and improvements * Since no feedback gotten from the sister project and some changes will not be imported, version number 1.0.0 was selected to show that there is divergence Homepage: http://www.foxtrotgps.org/ Package: foxtrotgps Tested on: Debian *** General News *** Most important and change making mails on the mailing lists, blogs etc.. Coolest hacks, screenshots, themes etc.. GPRS * GPRS on FreeRunner is unstable? Too many connections hang the modem? Unfixable? NO MORE! Our magician lindi has conjured a tc (traffic control) command that makes the data flow more stable even under heavy load. Huge thanks! http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2264#comment:21 (use the lower one for faster operation) Kernels * Debian wiki now includes generic view on the multitude of Openmoko related kernel branches out there: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner#KernelBranchesinAutumn2010 * State of upstreaming kernel parts was updated by Lars-Peter Clausen and others in this thread: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2010-September/011205.html - as always, help is welcome in the land of the kernel!

RE: Yocto for Openmoko?
Am Samstag, den 30.10.2010, 13:15 +0400 schrieb Nikita V. Youshchenko: Just saw the announcement on lwn.net for the Yocto Project. This aims to create a standard build system for embedded systems. Sounds like it might be an interesting way to build for the FreeRunner. Of course it also sound like 'yet-another-build-system' tool. Just wanted to high-lite this to the various people building various distros and hear their feedback on what this might, or might not offer for simplifying builds for the FreeRunner. Cheers, and let the flames ignite (-= Isn't that Yocto based on the same OpenEmbedded as current build system for several distros is? Yes, it is. Although it might contain some higher-level shells that could simplify dealing with the actual build process. That was my point. It's supposed to simplify the config process and create SDK, QEMU images and such. But on the other hand, do we need Yet-another-build-system? Does it offer something useful to set it apart from what's already out there? At the very least someone could add the FreeRunner to this list of supported target platforms for Yocto. Maybe the GP2X could be another target to work on. Cheers, John Gay ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: qtmoko v28
Hi, I've found the problem, on my system mtd-utils version 20100706-1 was installed, this version does contain a bug [1]. I installed mtd-utils from git, and now I can create correct ubi-images. Now I can continue to work on the installer using ubi-images.
