Re: MicroSD cards support questions in gta02
Qi booted qtmoko from my sdcard in gta02 successfully . Thank you for the detailed instructions.

The kernel panic is as expected, there is just a kernel on the card and no distro yet. Could you try to install the root files system from [2] ? After you installed it make sure to install the kernel in /boot as uImage-GTA02.bin and add the /boot/append-GTA02.

Re: MicroSD cards support questions in gta02
Hi Alexandros, Good to hear that! Please try some other values for the clock settings in /boot/append-GTA02, and some smaller values for the slow_ratio setting. i think the system will be slow now, adjusting these values might make your freerunner faster. (or instable ;-) ) Kind Regards, Ed On 02/27/2011 02:27 PM, Πρεκατές Αλέξανδρος wrote: Qi booted qtmoko from my sdcard in gta02 successfully . Thank you for the detailed instructions.

GTA01 (Neo1973) questions
Hi list, My intention is to 'revive' my Neo1973 to take it along for a 5-week trip. I don't want to use it as a phone, just for it's GPS (maps) capabilities. I've loaded SHR (lite) image but it takes up some much space that after a 'opkg update' my device is 99% full. So, some questions for the more knowledgeable: - how do I get rid of all phone/SMS and contact apps? Is there an easy way to figure this out? Or would I be beter off with a different distribution altogether? - I had a look at the gllin scripts - seems they've hadn't been kept inline with the newest kernels. How do I start the gps chip nowadays? And would gllin still work? - I prefer to install either tangogps or foxtrotgps. Can I still use those on the GTA01?

It may be a little slower than internal Flash. For SHR you need to unpack the kernel to a FAT partition and the .tgz root file system to an ext2/ext3.

ValaCompass - 3D compass application for the FRNB
Hi list, I released a proof-of-concept 3D compass application that uses the hmc5843 chip included in the Freerunner Navigation Board (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freerunner_Navigation_Board) and the accelerometers of the GTA02. The GUI is not fancy at all but it should be ok for playing around :) Thanks to the SHR guys the application is already in the SHR-U feeds. A short wiki page that provides information on installation, usage and the location of the source code is available at: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/ValaCompass Regards, Michele ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hi I released a proof-of-concept 3D compass application Nice work! The GUI is not fancy at all You told me, that it's not fancy. But the screenshot hit me anyway. That's a bit spartanic, don't you think? ^.^ I would have imagined something like this as a frontend: http://www.maissen.com/juwelier/images/meister_kompass.jpg A 3D animated compass would be so insanely cool ^.^ best regards lev signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

But I currently dont want to face 3D texture rendering issues. It's slow enough as it is now with this dumb vector visualization :) once it will draw the lines with an acceptable refresh rate maybe it will be worth trying. Or maybe someone here on the list can provide infos on that. regards, Michele ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [QtMoko] chinese character support
Keep replying to myself.. am I the only one receiving my mails? Another thing is the pinyin keyboard that is in the sources.. but not put in the image.. where do I trigger that? currently I'm in the middle of getting things ready for a QtMoko translation into zh_CN.. (thanks to my wife) It seems as if enabling zh_CN as language automagically puts the pinyinim in the image.. :D need to try it yet, but it's there.. now I wonder.. once my wife and I managed to translate things.. how do we give that to radek? I mean, the .ts files are all over the place.. ;) Cheers, -- Thomas -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Computers save time the way kudzu prevents soil erosion. - Al Castanoli -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
