Hi Alan,

 On a related point freesmartphone.org seems to be using the old hackish
 3gpp ts07.10 user space code. 

Correct, for systems which don't use premultiplexed drivers, we're
resorting to a userland muxer (not the gsm0710muxd though, but rather a
clean implementation based on other code). I'd love to see a kernel
muxer, really. While I don't think it makes a difference on GPRS, it
might improve system performance on EDGE or UMTS a lot.

 I've got almost all of a kernel driver only
 my AT+CMUX capable device has expired. Dunno if anyone is interested in
 finishing the job (its basically written but not at all debugged and I
 know the tx queueing needs work either to make it do all the priorities
 right or just forget the the whole priority nightmare)

I think it'd be great if you could upload your code somewhere.

 Alternatively does anyone know what cheaper EU devices support AT+CMUX,
 it seems quite rare this side of the pond

Do you no longer have an Openmoko device? If not, I could arrange to
ship you one -- it may have problems, but at least the GSM would work.

Best regards,

Mickey.

Rod Whitby (MokoMakefile author) moves on to start WebOS Internals

2009-10-06 Thread Rod Whitby
http://www.rwhitby.net/blog/webos-internals/palm-pre-lands-in-australia.html

It is with some sadness that I must say goodbye to the OpenMoko  
community, and move on to new things.

My dream of an OpenMoko phone with a hardware keyboard to replace my  
aging Treo 650 was never realised, and you all know the rest of the  
story on the software side of things.

I've now started a new community (webos-internals.org) which does open  
source Linux-based development for the Palm Pre.

My hope is that freesmartphone.org may one day be the bridge between  
the OpenMoko community I am now leaving, and the WebOS Internals  
community which has recently started.

I wish everyone continuing down the OpenMoko path the best of success  
in the future.

-- Rod

Rod,
wow, sad to see you go indeed.
You are one of the true old-timers of Openmoko :-)
Since hacking the Palm Pre is not that far from an 'open phone' perspective,
maybe you can add a feed to the Openmoko planet and we can that way stay in
touch with what you are doing?
I will regularly check what's going on at webos-internals.org
All the best! Good luck!
Wolfgang

Re: Rod Whitby (MokoMakefile author) moves on to start WebOS Internals

2009-10-06 Thread Michael 'Mickey' Lauer
Rod,

thanks for all the work you did to bring Openmoko forward!

Even though it took all so long due to all our detours, I'm quite satisfied 
with what the Openmoko community has created throughout the years, especially 
since Openmoko Inc. stopped guiding the project.

A hardware family often is the initial trigger to establish a community, 
however it's important to embrace and extend, especially when the days of the 
hardware family are counted. As other solution come around, it gets important 
for the Openmoko community to widen the focus and grow into something larger.

I created the freesmartphone.org project to cover a much wider scope than 
Openmoko -- as such, we are looking forward to continue our work on FSO 
covering both anti-vendor-ports and forthcoming semiopen devices such as the 
Palm Pre and the Nokia N900.

So... good bye and hello again!

See you soon,

:M:

Thank you anyway. Traitor! :)
And ROFL about the northern hemisphere chauvinism issue with your GPS. *g*
I hope that is not a omen...

See you back ;)
