Re: Openmoko (was Re: Login screen on firmware upgradation)

2011-03-19 Thread Michael 'Mickey' Lauer
Failure? Not at all. Openmoko, the project, helped to spin a lot of
important movements throughout the industry, and, even more important,
Openmoko Inc., the company, brought the first truly hackable mobile
phone hardware into the hands of 'everyone'. That's a major achievement
and I even go so far to say it's undisputable.

Yes, the hardware was not perfect, and yes, due to a bunch of management
failures combined with the economic crisis a couple of years ago, there
is no more mobile phone hardware coming from Openmoko Inc. To say that
Openmoko, the project, has no future is far from the truth and we can
see that every day watching the action happening on free hard- and
software projects all around the globe, such as GTA04, FSO, SHR, QtMoko.

Yes, much of the action has moved from the Openmoko devices to newer
devices, such as the HTC phones, Palm Pre, Nokia N900, etc., but again,
hardware ages, that's a given, and by no means a fault of Openmoko Inc.,
the company.

Cheers,

Correct. This will be fixed with the new combined battery object that

Current FSO-images are a bit fat around the hips (80MB), but we can strip 
things or move to requiring an SD.

 2. Qi - not sure where Qi on GTA01 stands, and how risky we believe it
 would be to ask GTA01 users to switch to Qi

Very risky for all those without debug boards.

 3. .28 kernel - not sure exactly what the current status of the .28
 kernel on GTA01 is, but I know some people are working on it

Stefan?

 4. building it regularly and testing it - well I guess building is no
 problem for you, you always build GTA01 and GTA02 images, testing
 should be fine Wendy has a fully functional GTA01 in Taipei

Yeah.

 Anything else?

Nothing I can think of. If we get .28 running solid on GTA01, userland will 
not be a problem.

Re: Not supporitng GTA01? [Was: [openmoko-announce] Om 2008.12 Beyond]

2008-12-20 Thread Michael 'Mickey' Lauer
I don't want to comment on whether Openmoko should do more work on GTA01 or 
rather concentrate on 02 and 03, but I do want to state that you can't 
compare the usual end-of-support product to an Openmoko end-of-support 
product.

Openmoko not releasing anymore images for 01 is _orders of magnitude_ less of 
a problem than any competitor no longer supporting a model. The reason being 
the paradigmatic openness of Openmoko. Everything is out there -- at your 
fingertips, so to speak -- you can still compile 2009.x for the 01 (yes, you 
need to remove some things) or work on exciting new software for it.

U-Boot and the kernel may not receive many more updates, but that's about it. 
For the rest of it, you don't have to rely on Openmoko to get fresh software 
for your GTA01.

Again, while I don't want to comment whether this is right or wrong from 
Openmoko Inc, I hope that it puts things into perspective.

Yours,

Mickey.

Re: FSO Android (was: Sad Story)

2008-12-16 Thread Michael 'Mickey' Lauer
Please don't mix teams, distributions, and efforts.

FSO is an initiative building a dbus-based framework for mobile devices, 100% 
funded by Openmoko. The FSO team evolved out of Openmoko's Framework Team.
FSO provides a dbus API and a reference implementation that is supposed to run 
on as many devices as we can manage -- including the GTA's, but also a lot of 
non-Openmoko devices.

Openmoko 2008.x is a distribution, which does not include the new framework, 
since Qtopia is the framework used there. Openmoko 2009.x will be a 
distribution including the FSO framework.

A personal remark: With all these semiopen initiatives going live, I see 
Openmoko being more and more important for free software, not less.
At the end of the day, OM is still only free open mobile communications 
platform(*) out there -- and I don't see that changing soon.

Cheers,

Dear Matteo,

  we are seriously interested in your product to be embedded in our
  building automation system.

Sounds pretty interesting, vertical markets like yours are one of the reasons 
why we started this project.

  First of all I need to know if compiler is armv5te and if PyGTK is full
  supported on Om 2008.9 and if it's GTK based.

In our current product (Openmoko FreeRunner), we are shipping an s3c2410, 
which is an armv4t compliant processor. Although Om 2008.9 is not Gtk-based, 
you can easily install PyGtk and it will work in tandem with the preinstalled 
applications. For your use case, I would even advice looking into a heavily 
customized image (building one yourself) that only contains the software you 
need for your application -- the tools are all out there.

Hope that helps,

 Do you know of a way to get the 2007 look and feel ie. Window manager and

Just edit the BitBake image files and substitute E and Illume with the
Window Manager and theme of your choice.

PyQt used to explicitly support Qt/Embedded back in the 2.x days, I
worked a lot on/with it. I don't think it fundamentally went away, but
you might have to hack it a bit to get recent versions of it compiled

ipkg is somewhat compatible to .deb, try installing it. If it doesn't work,

Sure. To make the .desktop files appear you need to set the category = Office

 Hi,
 After a sizeable hiatus while my laptop was down and out for repair,
 I'm back on the Net and playing with my FreeRunner again. I'm trying
 to install Python and related packages, but cannot find the packages.
 According to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Python, ScaredyCat's repos
 provide binary packages (I don't have a build environment yet because
 I'm still more than a little confused about OE and bitbake and all
 those complications, so the source packages are not much use for me).
 However, despite having a scaredycat.conf like this:

 I've already run opkg update just before attempting to install the

 Could someone please tell me what is wrong here and what I can do to
 get these packages?

Well, that's the problem with mixing feeds. Apparantly both your feeds have 
python packages with varying versions. I'd rather remove one feed.

Re: python and FSO MS 2 questions

Am Freitag 15 August 2008 21:29:15 schrieb C R McClenaghan:
 I thought I'd try some different things and learn python along the way.

Good choice!


 I have FSO MS 2 installed with opkg feeds updated and including the
 angstrom repository feed.

Good.


 I don't seem to be able to install python packages which appear in the
 angstrom repository, although I have installed other non-python
 packages from angtrom - e.g., libnotify, etc., for the the alpha 2
 version of gestures working. Perhaps there is something about opkg I
 don't understand. I added a base-feeds.conf  per the instructions here
 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Repositories .

What is the exact error message?

 With respect to python, I'm assuming that I can install any python
 package/file I choose and it need not come through the opkg system,
 just drop the *.py file(s) where it can be found.

Yes.

 Now that leads to 
 what is probably simply a python question, but I'll ask it anyway,
 what is the proper way to set PYTHONPATH such that a new directory of
 python files will be found? I tried:

 PYTHONPATH=$PWD

 where the files were in my current directory and the import statements
 still failed.

Show us your tree and the error message. Usually python files in the same 
directory are found without changing the pythonpath, otherwise you need to 
usually issue

export PYTHONPATH=path/to/new_package, not directory of new package.

since most packages use

from package import module.

 Ruby 1.9 seems to compile and run fine. Currently, I am compiling  it on my

 I am not familiar with OpenEmbedded or Bitbake. Can someone add Ruby 1.8.6
 and Ruby 1.9 to the repository? Possibly, we can remove Ruby 1.8.5 from the
 repository since Ruby 1.8.6 is a grammar-compatible upgrade to 1.8.5 with
 significant improvements IIRC.

 Alternatively, if someone can guide me, I can add these myself. I mean, add
 the bitbake recipe so that the build host will compile and upload its ipk
 file to the GTA01/02 repository.

Please submit recipes and/or updated patches to the OE bugtracker.

  Thanks,

 I am not sure if this is possible. It seems the  compilation creates a
 'miniruby' executable, which generates/compiles the rest of the code base.
 I am not sure how that can be done on a build host.

Just take a look at how we did it with ruby 1.8.x in OE. The canonical way to 
deal with something like that is add a foo-native package to OE and fix the 
foo package to call the native tool instead.

Openmoko does not actively develop OM2007.2, all resources are going into ASU 
(and the framework initiative). I think we should move to SHR once they have 
their first release. In the meantime, someone could/should drag all the 
Openmoko sources into a public Om project repository and continue developing 
2007.2 there. If that's going to happen, ping me and I'll change the 
respective BitBake recipes in OE to pull from the new location.

 Hello,

 in

 load-sample ringtone /usr/share/openmoko/sounds/...

 I have changed the entry for a MP3 file instead of the default wave.
 Unfortunately the phone just vibrates but does not play the ringtone. OGG
 doesn't work, too.

 I found out that moko-notify calls the pa_context_play_sample function of
 pulse to play the cached (uploaded) sample. So, it seems that there is
 something missing to decode the OGG/MP3 before it gets cached or am I on
 the wrong track here?

pulseaudio only features WAV files. In FSO we are using GStreamer to create 
all kinds of tones.
