 Hi there,
 
 I've been trying to boot 2008.12 from a microsd but it just can't.
 It starts booting but then it stops with an Only GTA01 hardware
 supported by ASoc driver message.
 
 It is not the card 'couse it works fine with fdom and shr.
 

I'm having the same problem here. I've installed the kernel and the
rootfs from tar.gz, the kernel boots but the logs say that many devices
are missing or are unreadable. Then it stops booting.

Help with nand u-boot environment

2009-01-02 Thread leona...@lilik.it
Hi all,
I've been messing with u-boot and need some help.
I was trying to set the rw parameter into bootargs to boot 2008.12
from SD. After a couple attempts, I had too many entries in the u-boot,
and wanted to erase them all, so I used the defaultenv command in
u-boot to reset them to the beginning. The beginning I think it's not
a working environment.
Now the environment is messed and I can't boot from NAND, only from NOR,
even if I want to use internal flash and not SD.

re-flashing the bootloader does not change the environment.

Could somebody point me to a saved environment file somewhere? or, could
anybody please upload a working environment into the wiki?

All you have to do is boot into the menu (AUX+Power), connect a usb
cable and use dfu to backup your environment:

dfu-util -d 0x1d50:0x5119 -a u-boot_env -D env.orig

I can assure you that having a backup copy of your own environment can
turn out to be useful also to you, someday :-)

One more question: if I use a menu item like this:

setenv menu_1 Boot from microSD (2008.12): setenv rootfstype=ext2
root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 \; mmcinit\; fatload mmc 1 0x3200 uImage.bin\;
bootm 0x3200

and then run menu_1 I always (even if booting the kernel has success)
see on the console an error:

Unknown command 'Boot' - try 'help'

is there a way to avoid this?

thanks,
leonardo.

Hi everybody.
Thanks for the help, I'm now able to boot both qt-extended and 2008.12!

I'm still not really confident about u-boot syntax, I understand that

setenv var content

means set content into var, but what is the part of content that
is displayed as a menu entry and what is the part that is executed?

 The illume keyboard aren't missing any keys for example. It only uses a 
 dictionary because users sometimes miss. There is no ambiguity at all to 
 resolve, only error correction for fat-fingered typing. (T9 does not
 try to resolve wrong-key misses) Disambiguating and error correction
 is not the same.
 
 Oh, and they mention keyboards. Many phones has keyboards with about
 12 keys.  The neo has a touchscreen instead, its two keys are not used
 for text input. :-)

you're right.. what I meant while writing is that, since moko keyboard
is not reduced, it could even suggest words instead of only correct
errors without infringing T9.

 Actually, not so ironic: it basically means that rather than keeping
 them as internal secrets, they get to lock them in
 a government-provided vault.
 
 IIRC, the history of patents is a bit more interesing than people think,
 and the end result's paradoxes are not as unintended as you'd think.
 But it really should be expected: just as is still the case now (if not
 even more), the (potential) holders of big patent portfolio had a lot
 of leverage.

We're going quite OT, but it's a nice talk.

I thought I posted this link to the list, but instead I replied directly
to Raster. On this topic I found quite interesting this book:
http://levine.sscnet.ucla.edu/general/intellectual/against.htm

Basically, there seems to be no evidence anywhere that patents ever
helped development, in any age and country where applied. Obviously, the
owner of T9 patent are richer then they were in 1995, but in general
they produce more expenses then profits.

qt-extended-improved unpredictive keyboard

2009-03-31 Thread leona...@lilik.it
hi all,

As I did for Qtopia, I’ve recompiled my un-predictive keyboard for
qt-extended-improved. It is a patched version of the matchbox keyboard
that comes with Qt made usable without a stylus.I’ve changed the layout
from last time I touched it :

* I found out how to suppress the hints bar, that never had any real
use for me
* I used wider picks to help people that do not play guitar and have
regular size nails :-)
* In the sourcecode you can find an attempt to use screen rotation
(disabled now) to automatically switch to wide mode when sending sms. I
didn’t have time to make it work.

then you have to chose at each boot, the default one can not be changed.

if you want screenshots explain me how to have them with qtextended :-)

codebin here:
http://leonardo.lilik.it/wordpress/2009/04/01/qt-extended-un-predictive-keyboard/

I put the whole keyboard source dir in the zip but i think I have only
touched keyboardframe.cpp. I will send a patch for the git soon.

ciao,
leonardo.

Hi all,
Does anybody use the matchbox keyboard on Qtextended? (the one with grey
little letters unusable with your fingers?).
I'm working on a different layout, finger-usable, and i will do a patch
for Qtextended, the question is if in my patch I can modify matchbox
keyboard or I should add a new keyboard.

[QT*] unpredictive keyboard

2009-04-25 Thread leona...@lilik.it
Hi list,

I've changed strategy on the unpredictive
qtopia/qtextended/qtextendedimproved keyboard.
Instead of patching the matchbox keyboard I've changed the original
qtopia keyboard. I've stretched it a little to make it larger and higher
and i made it unpredictable. I added another gesture: if you slide from
bottom-right along the diagonal to up-left you can toggle prediction.

here you can find the binary and the patch.
http://leonardo.lilik.it/wordpress/2009/04/26/qtextended-keyboard-made-unpredictive/

the patch is on Franky's git tree but I guess it works with any Qt*
since the keyboard doesn't seem changed at all. The binary is for the
qt-extended-improved I'm using..

two improvements are possible:
 - give a visual feedback when toggling prediction on/off
 - well, there are three more diagonal gestures that could be used if
you have ideas.

now matchbox seems quite useless.

feedbacks are most welcome.

ciao,
leonardo.

Hi Franky,

 never mind ...  wrong copy, ok now :-)
 Although I still believe no dictionaries should be updated when in
 non-predictive mode. I would also like not to have to click on a word
 before being able to enter a space and continue to the next word, so
 default accept would be nice as well in unpredictive mode ...

I didn't have time to check your patch. Anyway you cannot avoid a way to
accept a word. If you slide right, you put a whitespace, if you click
on the bar you accept the word and you have a free whitespace. I've
noticed also that while you wait for the animation to end, you can type
new letters, so you don't waste time.

 Probably KeyboardWidget::acceptWord() and OptionsWindow::acceptWord()
 can benefit from you changes :-)
 
 - no more dictionary updates for non-predictive keyboard
 - disabled the animation for non-predictive keyboard (where the
   selected word was pulled into the correct place, it is nice but a
   bit overkill and too slow).

that's better!

 
 Please check it out, I provided a .so file here:
 http://www.e-dynamics.be/openmoko/libqpredictivekeyboard.so

thanks, the university server seems to be lazy today. tomorrow I hope it
will be fixed.

 For the changes:
 http://github.com/liedekef/qtmoko/commit/f818d487e3552e9b9832a9f5942ddfc3a2330031
 
 I've already build a new image with this (not online yet, since I'm
 setting it up on a new space). A visual hint for prediciveness would be
 nice, but I leave that up to you :-)

I've checked it quickly, it doesn't seem really easy, I should get more
ocnfident with Qt. I hope I will have time to make it visible.
Is it better something like a p on a corner or a very short popup
saying unpredictive?

 
 And a question: wouldn't it be more logical to add a space by default
 after each word? It was like that once I believe ...

that's what it does. When you  accept the word you have a whitespace added.

 Also, the capitalization is not working that good, maybe that can be
 off as well, or maybe that can be another option (left-bottom=
 right-up stroke + visual confirmation).

capitalization doesn't work really ok. Well, it just doesn't work actually.

Something I've noticed that could be improved is that if you type a
single letter and you want to accept it it's quite hard to touch with
your finger the letter, since it's quite little. I guess this is
inherited from the predictive keyboard. It would be better to make the
whole bar reactive instead of the single letter.

ciao,
leonardo.

 I've already build a new image with this (not online yet, since I'm

 btw, I also added code for a backspace key. I *know* that you can slide
 to the left for backspace, but if you want to delete an entire
 sentence (or just 10 letters), this becomes ridiculous. Therefore: the
 backspace key is to be found in the same group as the return key.
 I've updated the current image with it.

you can select the text you want to cancel and leftslide, but it's very
unconfortable.

 Now just some buttons to quickly go from letters to ciphers and to the
 sentence-characters (.,?, etc...). Instead of always needing to
 slide up and down ... There's place for at least 3 extra signs on the
 letters screen, I would use them for uppercase (and in the uppercase
 version: lowercase), numbers and sentence-characters. This would
 work more reliable and quicker than the basic sliding ...

we could use the other three diagonals. I think it's better then filling
the keyboard with more buttons, or it will end up like matchbox keyboard.

leonardo.

 Hello Leonardo and Franky,
 
 I haven't tried out your changes yet but they sound very useful. I would
 also prefer the three switching buttons suggested by Franky. I think when
 putting them e.g. at the far right, they wouldn't really fill up the space
 too much or make the other keys too small.

if you try the patch you'll notice the keyboard is quite larger now...

 Another idea: Wouldn't it be possible to toggle the predictability of the
 keyboard through an option in the context (options) menu? By putting a
 checkmark in front you would also have a visual information about the state.
 I think this should be possible because when changing to the undocked
 keyboard the option Change input Method changes into a submenu.

That was my first attempt, but it seems that that menu has nothing to
deal with the keyboard itself. It just sends basic signals like
create/destroy to the widget and sets up the next one.
Anyway, toggling/untoggling predictability is not something you do that
often I guess, and it works ok with the diagonal slide.

I'm having harder time in showing some graphics on the keyboard to have
a feedback from that action.

ciao,
leonardo.
