odeviced (open device daemon): 0.1-alpha release

2008-09-12 Thread Sudharshan S
Hi all,
I am happy to announce the first 0.1 release of my gsoc project, odeviced.
It is more a preliminary vala/c implemenatation of the odeviced subsystem
from frameworkd.
Although mostly compatible with milestone3, odeviced lacks the audio support
and GetInfo DBus methods since vala doesn't support returning DBus types of
signature a{sv}.

This package includes the following device plugins that has been tested on
the Freerunner
accelerometer
* audio (incomplete now)
* display
* idlenotifier
* input
* led
* power
* powercontrol
* rtc

Get the package here,
http://sudharsh.mukt.in/odeviced_0.1-r0_armv4t.opk

The sources are available here,
http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=openmoko-gsoc2008.git;a=summary

GSoC abstract here,
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/openmoko/appinfo.html?csaid=C4E490026007DA79

NOTE: If you have frameworkd installed, please do the following prior to the
installation of odeviced to avoid conflicts in DBus.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mv
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/framework/subsystems/odeviced

Community feedback as always is appreciated and eagerly awaited.
Many thanks to the GSoC mentors for lending a helping hand throughout the
program (..and not to mention the shipped Freerunner. :D)

Happy Hacking,

dfu is used to flash the rootfs and the kernel.
I normally scp the created ipk into the neo and use ipkg install.
If you haven't already, you might find more information regarding this 
over here.

and should I flash kernel and fs of the device each time when I build

Not necessary, you can upgrade if you have a working internet on your

Re: SRC_URI arguments, how to

2007-10-30 Thread Sudharshan S

 Thank you,
 Would I then have to have a script to pack my local overlay before
 building the package ? Sorry for my confusion, I'm all new to this build
 environment. How does everyone else do this ?
 From my point of view it would be easiest to be able to point SRC_URI to
 my local overlay base directory and let it copy everything below and
 including that point to the work directory and the build it. But i'm
 guessing that there is something that I am missing here =)
 
 /Pontus
 

My code doesnt actually sit in the local overlay, only my recipes are
there. I have a separate working directory where I do my work. Oh come
on, creating a tarball is pretty trivial =D. The bitbake is kinda smart
enough to unpack the tarball while building your code. No problems
there.

Especially when you have a sizeable number of files, copying each and
every file is kinda weird (unless its under some Version Control
System).

But, if your code is in some local svn (..or cvs) repository you could
make change the SRC_URI accordingly if you want the copy each file into
the build directory behaviour. Digging into the gazillions of recipes
in the tree should give you an idea. Bitbake experts, Correct me if i am
wrong. =)

Python bindings for libgsmd

2007-10-14 Thread Sudharshan S
Greetings all, 
We have been working on binding libgsmd in python and we must say, we
have been successful in wrapping up the voicecall routines upto now. 
It would be wonderful to have your comments and constructive criticism. 

Please do note that zecke also has done some python bindings, The main
difference lies in the use of gobjects in the latter case. We have
created a sort of raw interface to the underlying libgsmd code. 

The code is really noobish though, but atleast it works

 OABI but is not quite working for EABI. Work is proceeding on this.

Hi guys,
I got this idea of a small eye candy after having a look at beryl. How
about when, someone touches the touchscreen ripples get generated with
the point of contact as the centre. Am not sure how useful this could be
but, i feel this would be a nice fluidy feedback to the onscreen
keyboard. Given the FPU on the neo, I am also curious what kind of
performance deteriotation we are looking at and the difficulty level in
implementing such a hack.

 Good and bad, here are some ads for openmoko and the neo1973 I did.  
 Sorry for the bad quality on some but there aren't many videos or 
 pictures of the neo1973 besides the wiki.  I stayed with the free your 
 phone, aspect since advertising linux to the public is not going to work. 
 I can make better ones if someone can get me high res photos and video 
 (720x480 and above).
 
Cool videos..
Now if only I had neo of my own, I would have done the hi, I am a neo
and I am an iphone skit...*wink*

 I have read a bit about building the current software for the Qemu
 environment, but I am wondering if anyone regularly builds these
 anyways and can just provide us with a download link or a torrent so
 that we can download and run it a bit easier than building it anew for
 each user? 
 
 I am thrilled with the announcement of the phone's release, and I
 would love to help a bit with UI investigations.

 In all honesty, has there ever been a really clear statement about this 
 device?  I'm beginning to feel (as was eluded to in others' posts months 
 ago) that this is vaporware, and that we are just being strung along.
 Flame me all you want, but until I have something in my hot little hand 
 how can I possibly be led to believe anything else at this point?

Hi Dunc,
Maybe this will change your mind,

Sure, the neo may get delayed, but it will definitely see the light of
the day. I am basing my assertions on the fact, that actual devices have
been created and circulated among people. I guess its pretty normal for things 
to get delayes. So fear not :D

Just my 2 cents.

Reggies
