Re: [Debian -FSO -GPS] No Fix

2008-11-24 Thread Antony King

I'm using FSO 4.1 , and have a similar problem. Enabling debug on framework 
gives messages that suggest it is sending NMEA data when frameworkd is 
expexting UBX data. There's a curious message in the logs - 'exception 
0x8040 was trapped' .The GPS clearly has power. Here's some of the log:

Re: [Debian -FSO -GPS] No Fix

2008-11-28 Thread Antony King
I've put milestone 4 back on, and I'm now getting UBX messages in the debug 
log, so something clearly broke in 4.1 . Took a while (it's raining hard and 
I'm indoors) but I finally got a fix.

Methinks something's broken between 4 and 4.1 - there doesn't appear to be an 
existing bug for this so I'll stick something on.


On Thursday 27 November 2008 09:45:48 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 My FSO 4.1 is running the fso-gpsd too.

 The only oddity with mine is that it lives on the SD card. I deliberately
 kept everything clean as far as the install goes - I just installed
 tangoGPS after installing FSO 4.1, then when the GPS didn't work I did a
 opkg update/upgrade on 24th and tried it again, then I enabled logging and
 reported on my findings.

 Anyone got any pointers ? I'm a bit of a noob with the freerunner though
 I've been sysadmining on Linux for, um, more years than I care to remember
 :-)

We're still selling phones since the 'economic downturn' - though we're making 
less money because of the poor £/$ exchange rate! It'll be interesting to see 
whether openmoko concentrate on developing the GTA02 (which shouldn't involve 
capital outlay on new boards etc) or whether they tool up for the GTA03.

Re: [FSO] M4.1 issues (GPS, Suspend)

2008-12-12 Thread Antony King
This is the behavour I noticed; it seems that the GPS resets itself for some 
reason and then ogpsd/frameworkd can't talk to it any more because it is 
expecting UBX but is getting NMEA. There's a bug #265 against it but not been 
a lot of activity on that recently. Search the mailing list for GPS - it came 
up originally in a debian distro but with the same symptoms so it's most 
likely a frameworkd problem rather than FSO specific.

On FSO M4 , on the GPS app in Zhone, you can get status info for each 
satellite by pressing the unlabled buttons on screen; even without a fix you 
should normally get a few with 'signal unusable' or 'downloading' or 
something other than 'searching' even if you are indoors (for certain values 
of indoors of course).


On Friday 12 December 2008 14:53:53 Olivier Migeot wrote:

 For a few days, I've been testing FSO M4.1, mostly because of my

 problem is, GPS subsystem doesn't seem to work at all (either through
 Zhone, Tango or cli-framework). I launch cli, Request GPS resource
 (which took less than 10 secondes). And then, I can wait forever, I
 can't see a single satellite (through GetSatellites()). Not even a
 little one with a weak signal or anything. gpstime.GetTime() is still
 returning 0. Maybe it's just my lack of luck (I'd rather). Some time
 ago, I managed to get a fix both with QTE4.4 demo and another (Gtk
 based) GPS test app. Is this the normal behaviour of a GwaF (GPS
 without a Fix), or not?

 Thanks by advance :)

 I don't want to get into a pissing contest here, but the truebox price
 includes VAT, I bought mine from them at that price back in the summer.

 Unless somehow I managed to avoid paying VAT or just forgot to look at
 the actual price... weird.

 OK, having looked at their website it seems I'm just ignorant.

 299 EUR including taxes is a great deal from pulster!

Just wanted to clarify the shipping charges - we basically pass on the charges 
from UPS so it's done per unit weight, but for single quantities it's this:

UK shipping for single units is £15 + 15%vat
EU shipping for most of EU is £35 + 15%vat
Outside EU is £55 + 15%vat

There is a huge scary chart on the website listing all the prices for all 
weight bands for pretty much every country that UPS will deliver to if you're 
interested.

And yes, we have been stung pretty badly by the plummetting pound - perhaps 
UK.gov needs to do more to resurect the old british manufacturing and export 
businesses, only without the 3 day working weeks and the continual strikes...

Debug Boards 50% off from Truebox

2009-02-05 Thread Antony King
Hi All,

We're having a bit of a clearout of the warehouse, and have rather more debug 
boards than is strictly sensible. Therefore, we are reducing them from £88 to 
£44 + vat  delivery until 23rd feb. In the UK that's £67.85 all in - see [1] 
below. We take most debit/credit cards, and would expect to dispatch these 
within 2-3 working days weather permitting.

These are the normal version 3 debug boards [2] that support serial console 
and jtag interface for reprogramming NOR flash etc.
