Oh, so the interrupts recover ? That is interesting.

Your device seems to see a lot of activity. Are you moving it around
when these things happen ? Also, are there any other anomalities,
such as crashes, sudden shutdowns, or battery issues ?

I thought it was working too until I got a couple calls. The callers
 hung up after not being able to hear me at all. Isn't anyone else having
 this problem? I'm using the latest u-boot, kernel and root in testing,
 all
 dated May 21st, on a stock Freerunner, flashed to v11 of the GSM
 firmware.
 I suppose I can see if qi fixes it, but every time I try qi I get WSOD.

Re: Bounty for Navit delopment - Free freerunner - anyone?

2009-05-27 Thread Tilman Baumann
Hello navit community.

This idea was brought up at the openmoko mailinglists.
I just wanted to ask you guys if this makes sense to you before we proceed.

So far this is only a brain fart of me, but if it is worthwhile I would
try to push this in the openmoko community.

Would it help if the openmoko community sponsors a freerunner to someone
who can optimise navit for this device?
Navit is by far the most promising and most important app for openmoko,
but unfortunately it is very slow and not perfectly prepared to the whole
situations.
For example I believe it still uses the gpsd emulation instead of the
gypsy api and so on...

The whole thread is there (Best graphics performance?)
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/support/2009-May/thread.html#5440


PS: Please kepp both lists in CC ;-)

Such "fund-raising" has worked for other OSS projects.
In one case, there was a call for sponsors and for a
programmer (to add vpn to a firewall)but there were
enough sponsors that the original author spoke up and said,
well,  if 12 people are offering to chip in $50, I can
take time off from work to do this.

If that is the fix, count me in as a supporter.
A FR optimised build would be really great. Not just from performance

Not really. Ok, it works well.
But it is tiles based and does routing via a webservice. Therefore it is
very dependent on a good internet connection.
You can cache tiles, but it is still tiles. I don't like the idea.

I would much rather have a vector based program working well.
And if you look around, there are a lot around by now for different mobile
platforms. I don't think any of these has considerably more horsepower
then a FR.
A small cheap Satnav (hardware) has probably less power then a FR. But
they run well.
I'm certain it is doable on a freerunner.
Don't ask me what to do, I'm not a computer scientist. But I'm sure it
would be possible.

This are 2 logfiles from different days:

A change of charging is close (in term of lines, not in time), but not
in all cases. And it doesn't stop wlan functionality in all cases,
sometimes it contnues shortly after.

Many years ago I remember taking an operating system that was in its
third release and requesting the engineers work very hard on memory
optimization.  Concentrating on that they reduced the booting and
running memory footprint by 50%, and as a consequence the operating
system ran programs (on the average) 7% faster.

7% may not sound like much, but it can be the difference between
"sluggish" and "o.k."

This is part of what makes source code availability and open hardware
important, so many people can work on things like performance.

not necessarily, it's an equation with two terms.
since the fr is not likely to change in that respect, navit in turn may --  
and to be honest, i certainly hope it will, so far it is unusable as  
navigation app on the fr and its only advance over tangogps is the use of  
a comparatively small binary map instead of a huge bunch of tiles.

2009-05-27 Thread Yorick Moko
yup, i'm also struggling with navit,
but navigation worked for me 60% of the drive;
sometimes it would just lock up and take up to more than a minute to
become responsive again; i think it was due to REcalculation of the
route (navit thinks for a moment that i'm not on the highway, but on
that little road beside it)

it's very clear that atm the FR doesn't have the horsepower it needs
to run navit

btw: that was a test with navit from more than a month ago i think,
maybe the new versions improved
(i also used a custom skin, so that could also stress the FR even more)
