2011/5/21 Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller h...@goldelico.com: Hi Martix, what a pity that I don't speak or understand Czech/Slovak language... Hi Nikolaus, unfortunately, we don't have yet enough experiences, people and resources for organizing international english-spoken event. Although, I like to see this happening in the future, when more people gets involved in organisation. Next year, we would like to invite some foreign guest(s) involved in open mobile platforms or open source hardware development to have a talks about their projects. I hope that we have the first GTA04-EA units shipped by that time and I know that two early adopters come from Czech republic. Nice to hear that! But, I don't know who had ordered these GTA04 and I'm not sure whether they heard about our conference. Please, could you forward them an invitation for Openmobility conference? We really like to see these GTA04 units. I wish a great success! Nikolaus Thanks. BTW: there are plans for a new Open HardSoftware Workshop in Germany (German language) this summer/fall.

Re: [qtmoko] Contacts and SMS, how do they work ?
After several tests, some results : - How can I import contacts from .vcf file with long names + utf-8 encoding ? You cannot. There are some bugs in Qtopia addressbook : - you cannot use vCard 3.0 files encoded in utf-8, multibyte UTF-8 characters will be mangled in Qtopia addressbook - you cannot use vCard 2.1 files, utf-8 may be ok but import process crashes for other reasons unknown to me. The solution for me was to use a vCard 3.0 file re-encoded in iso8859-1 (:set fileencoding=iso8859-1 in vim), because everything I needed could be covered by iso8859-1. I can't see a solution if you really need utf-8, sorry. - If I do a bad manipulation, how can I do a rollback ? (restore an empty db, remove all junk entries without doing it one by one) ? Close Qtopia, and use sqlite client to clean database yourself (a backup before is always good): sqlite3 /home/root/Applications/Qtopia/qtopia_db.sqlite delete from contactcategories; delete from contactaddresses; delete from contactcustom; delete from contactphonenumbers; delete from contacts; .quit - How can I hide or disable contacts from sim card ? I only want to use the one from my .vcf file (I manage them on my computer with kontact) It seems that the first time you install Qtopia your SIM contacts are loaded into Qtopia database (cf. upper). You can remove them definitively from Qtopia database using sqlite client. I tried to import a vcf file with something like : DISPLAY=:0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qtmoko/lib /opt/qtmoko/bin/addressbook /tmp/addressbook.vcf Additional note : you need to do source /opt/qtmoko/qpe.env before, in order to load good environment variables Xavier. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
FreeRunner Navigation Board v3 - Power management
Hello, How much of power Navigation Board v3 consume, both in operational state (all sensors are active) and in idle state (all sensors are powered down)? Can I power down whole board from software? If not, could be board VCC connected somehow to the PMU (PCF50633)? Perhaps, Navigation Board could use free power line from PMU, if it's available or share power line with one accelerometer or GPS. I know about test pins with 0R resitors on PMU power outputs used for external current measurement, VCC could be provided from one of these pads. Did anybody considered PMU power management approach with Navigation Board? I like to hear your opinion and suggestions about this matter. PS: It would be nice to have some informations regarding power management documented on the wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freerunner_Navigation_Board_v3 Best Regards, Martix ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hi, Am Samstag 21 Mai 2011, 16:41:06 schrieb Martix: How much of power Navigation Board v3 consume, both in operational state (all sensors are active) and in idle state (all sensors are powered down)? Can I power down whole board from software? All sensors support a sleep state which reduces power consumption fo a few µA. I will add exact numbers to the wiki page. The sleep state is activated automatically after power-on. Therefore you have to talk to the sensor to activate it. The only exception is the gyroscope ITG-3200. This sensor needs the kernel module which will switch it of immediately after the module was loaded. If you forget to do this, it will consume about 6mA, IIRC. could be board VCC connected somehow to the PMU (PCF50633)? Perhaps, Navigation Board could use free power line from PMU, if it's available or share power line with one accelerometer or GPS. I don't know much about the PMU, but I tried to connect the board to one accelerometers VCC pin. It works, but I would not recommend it, because the I2C lines are pulled up when idle. If the chips do not get powered, some current may flows from the bus lines to ground. This could be more that the normal standby current. But I have to admit that I did not thest this yet. I know about test pins with 0R resitors on PMU power outputs used for external current measurement, VCC could be provided from one of these pads. I'd like to hear more about these 0Rs.. Did anybody considered PMU power management approach with Navigation Board? It should not be needed and could even be a bad idea. See above. PS: It would be nice to have some informations regarding power management documented on the wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freerunner_Navigation_Board_v3 I will add some more info. The wiki page lacks a few other updates too.. pinout and new pictures, for example.. I will try to fix this tomorrow.
