Cannot reflash with DFU

In continuation of the Getting rid of Android thread.

Current situation:

Able to power up into NAND and NOR uBoots (they are different versions
too, maybe not versions, but they report different build dates)

Able to attach to /dev/ttyACM0 and issue commands

When running dfu-util -l here's the output i get:
-

If I try to upload that to my machine i get one big file (134217728
bytes) filled mostly with 00's and FF's (haven't looked too deep into it)

Is there a way to make DFU see all the partitions, so I can reflash again?

Re: Debian install today Again phyton-evas and Zhone

2009-01-02 Thread arne anka
 Installing python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb from
 http://www.ginguppin.de/node/24 give's me this:
 debian-gta02:~# dpkg -i python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb
 dpkg-deb: `python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb' is not a debian format archive
 dpkg: error processing python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb (--install):
  subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
 Errors were encountered while processing:
  python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb

check for the cython package (should be 0.9.something) and download my  
python-evas package again. i had no problems installing it, so probably it  
got corrupted during download.

debian-gta02:/tmp# md5sum python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb
6acafa23aca1d1110f810527d4d5b2de  python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb


 (there is already a python-evas_0.2.1-2 in the new install)

yes, but it is built against cython 0.10, not 0.9.
so far there where no reports if this is fixed, so on every update, that  
tries to installing cython and python-evas i manually install all packages  
except these two.
you could even use pinning in /etc/apt/preferences, thus the packages  
would be not upgraded -- but this way i always remember to check, if  
something changed.

ok for some bizarre reason.. you've hit on some sscanf parsing bug. either i
need a spank for not understanding it... or it has problems with utf8 char
sequences that it didnt have with the numbers.kbd. as soon as it sees the

 if (sscanf(buf, %*s %4000s, label) != 1) continue;

skips the normal/shift/capslock identifier and goes to find the label string
- skipping whitespace between. or it SHOULD and scan up to 4000chars (silly
high limit) for the label  it gets even this wrong and starts to return garbage
strings like delete char. all in all it ends up producing some nasty garbage
that then gets fed into the stringshare db... and its only on the keys you
added. the rest parses fine (the Numbers.kbd). despite this also having utf8
char sequences. so right now.. i really am a bit baffled as to why - but there
is some parsing/sscanf issue i have to hunt down - or work around.

(yes - i used scanf to parse... i was feeling lazy!). but as such your extra
keys on top SHOULD look like this:

pretty simple - and it'd work. if there wasnt this bizarre parsing thing. the

...

putting the chars into  quotes has the side effect that if you hit the
char in the keyboard it is selected and printed above the top row of the
keyboard and waiting for completion as a word; even the capitals are
correctly printed on this line; but if you then touch the char (or word)
to confirm it, it gets moved above wrong, as small letter for example;

I also don't want that behaviour, they should be moved directly to the
messages and not waiting for further assembling/completion; isn't this
caused by the  as I understand some comment in Numbers.kbd?

Thx

Hello folks

I flashed

uImage-2.6.24+r10+gitr6e2a723ef54ee2e739c34786981b2c508db803c1-r10-om-gta02.bin

and

openmoko-fso-illume-image-glibc-ipk--20081120-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2

using the Neotool. FSO boots, shows me a nice ascii-art Angstrom and a 
login-prompt. From there it just sits quietly until I pull out the 
battery. I also can't ssh into it, as there's no route to host'. Using 
QT, ssh works.

Is there something I need to say or do? Wave parsley over it while 
chanting or so?

Nop. I've installed your file and restarted the Xserver;
if you select CAPS mode, then hit the capital Ñ (Ntilde) it appears as
capital Ñ in the line and waits for further completion, if you now hit
this Ñ it is moved to the SMS buffer as small ñ (ntilde).

Re: espeak, mbrola, utf8, navit : problem with french accentuated letters

2009-01-02 Thread Xavier Cremaschi
Now I am trying to plug everything into speed-dispatcher...

I added in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf
   DefaultLanguage fr
   AddModule mbrola sd_generic mbrola.conf
   DefaultModule mbrola

and I created a mbrola.conf in /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules

It works (spd-say bonjour speaks!), but instead of a generic rule :
GenericExecuteSynth \
echo \$DATA\ \
| espeak -v mb-$VOICE $PUNCT -s $RATE -a $VOLUME \
| mbrola -v $VOLUME -e /usr/share/mbrola/$VOICE - -.au \
| $PLAY_COMMAND

I had to hardcode some variables :
GenericExecuteSynth \
echo \$DATA\ \
| espeak -v mb-fr1 \
| mbrola -e /usr/share/mbrola/fr1 - -.au \
| aplay
because /var/log/mbrola.log told me :
Fri Jan  2 11:34:19 2009 [765343]: child: synth command = |echo 
bonjour | espeak -v mb-fr1   -s 160 -a 2.00 | mbrola -v $VOLUME -e 
/usr/share/mbrola/$VOICE - -.au | $PLAY_COMMAND
|
In this line you can see that all variables have not been expanded.

PS : here is my mbrola.conf (with debug info enabled, cf. last line).

# Espeak mbrola output module is based on the generic plugin for Speech
# Dispatcher. It means there is no code written explicitly for
# this plugin, all the specifics are handled in this configuration
# and we call a simple command line client to perform the actual
# synthesis. Use this config file with the sd_generic output module.
#
# IMPORTANT: The audio output method relies on an audio playback
# utility (play, aplay, paplay for OSS, ALSA or Pulse)
# being installed. If this is not the case, consider installing it
# or replace the $PLAY_COMMAND string in the GenericExecuteString below
# with play, paplay or similar.
#
# GenericExecuteSynth is the shell command that should be
# executed in order to say some message. This command must
# stop saying the message on SIGKILL, otherwise it's useless.
# You can use the variables $LANGUAGE, $VOICE, $PITCH and $RATE
# which will be substituted for the appropriate value (you
# can modify this value, see other parameters).
# The command can be split into more lines, if necessary, using '\'.
#GenericExecuteSynth \
#echo \$DATA\ \

# The following three items control punctuation levels None, Some, and All.

Hello Arne,

Thanks for replying.

I installed the old cython again - ok
then I tryed to get python-evas again (from your site and from others) but I
never get your md5sum
and so the error installing python-evas by dpkg remains.

Sorry for asking but could the .deb on your site be corrupted? :-(

could I ask you to send it by email?

Thanks and greetings,

 yes, but it is built against cython 0.10, not 0.9.
 so far there where no reports if this is fixed, so on every update, that  
 tries to installing cython and python-evas i manually install all packages  
 except these two.
 you could even use pinning in /etc/apt/preferences, thus the packages  
 would be not upgraded -- but this way i always remember to check, if  
 something changed.

 Nop. I've installed your file and restarted the Xserver;
 if you select CAPS mode, then hit the capital Ñ (Ntilde) it appears as
 capital Ñ in the line and waits for further completion, if you now hit
 this Ñ it is moved to the SMS buffer as small ñ (ntilde).

i'm getting capitals.. actually ok - the 2nd time i do it it is. not the first.
i think the utf8 normalization that florian did has some issues i think.

and yes - it you use quotes it goes via the dictionary lookup and works better
- the problem is needing to know what shift plus the 'ñ' key does. as such the
code does a lookup of keyboard maps - for keymaps that have a/A on a key this
works. as does 4/$ etc. for shift and caps - the problem is.. you have no
keyboard with normal ñ key - and thus x doesn't KNOW that shift + ñ == Ñ - it
has no idea, so you get a small. the string version can encode the
capitalisation but simply shift + keysym doesnt end up producing a capitalised
version in x's view of the keyboard world. (unlike shift + a == A).

so now illume needs a hard-coded table of this stuff that x doesn't know to
basically bypass x. and as such such a table or infra doesn't exist - so you're
stuck until it does. x's internal table doesnt  have this. :)

navigation information (turn in ... meters) seemed not related to my

was still exceptionally high.


after about 15min i killed navit.

navit is 0.1.0+svn-1791, built without speech, map is the eu.bin linked to  
in the navit wiki.


If you installed the precompiled navit version i would suggest to
compile it from source yourself. I don't know why, but the precompiled
version runs very bad on my fr with debian. After i compiled my own
version (1778) it runs much better. I also had trouble with very high
cpu usage but with my new compiled version i got quite low cpu usage
when navit is idle.
  


The Debian precompiled package is meant for desktops, not the FR, thus 
it doesn't include fixes/tweaks for devices without fpu, for example.

Re: [Om2008.9] Spanish Illume keyboard

2009-01-02 Thread Pander
Rasterman, how can I use a real space or an empty string for the space
bar? Because space is considered a white space character it is not
picked up to be displayed on a key.

Is it good practise if I use Unicode C2 A0, i.e. no-break space? Or are
there other ways to not label a key? E.g. refering to a non-exinting
.png? What is best practise regarding this?

Reason for doing this, is that in my language we use another word for
space (spatie) but I would like to omit the label on the space bar entirely.

 having utf8 char sequences. so right now.. i really am a bit baffled as to

 Hello Carsten,

 Numbers.kdb has no acute-chars:

 acute Numbers.kbd
 r...@om-gta02:/usr/lib/enlightenment/modules/illume/keyboards# 

 attached is my version of Spanish.kbd; it just does not work (after
 Xserver restart) for the CAPS chars; the CAPS'ed chars give the same
 small version of the chars; please be so kind and check it out
 in your FR; thx in advance;

 I have also checked putting the values in , i.e. like Aacute; this
 results in some kind of dictionary lookups;

 thx for your help and time in advance;

Re: [debian] navit: rendering is slow

2009-01-02 Thread arne anka
 The Debian precompiled package is meant for desktops, not the FR, thus

and it is for x86 -- while fr has armel (at least my recherches did not  
turn up precompiled armel packages anywhere).
thus, even if i'd like to, it wouldn't run, wouldn't it?

as said before: i built it myself from the orig.tar.gz, .dsc and .diff  
available at
http://navit.latouche.info/debian/sid/

 it doesn't include fixes/tweaks for devices without fpu, for example.

not the x86 precompiled, but the source surely does, does it?
i would expect that building for armel would enable those tweaks. am i  
wrong?

  leave it in strings. look at the Numbers.kbd - it has numbers and
  accented chars - including acute/grave etc. versions. just leave it in
  quotes as a string and it will get mapped properly.
  Hello Carsten,
 
  First at all, thx for your tip, but ...
 
  Numbers.kdb has no acute-chars:
 
  r...@om-gta02:/usr/lib/enlightenment/modules/illume/keyboards# fgrep -i
  acute Numbers.kbd
  r...@om-gta02:/usr/lib/enlightenment/modules/illume/keyboards# 
 
  attached is my version of Spanish.kbd; it just does not work (after
  Xserver restart) for the CAPS chars; the CAPS'ed chars give the same
  small version of the chars; please be so kind and check it out
  in your FR; thx in advance;
 
  I have also checked putting the values in , i.e. like Aacute; this
  results in some kind of dictionary lookups;
 
  thx for your help and time in advance;
 
matthias

Re: Debian install today Again phyton-evas and Zhone

2009-01-02 Thread arne anka
 Sorry for asking but could the .deb on your site be corrupted? :-(

 Quite likely:


 debian-gta02:~# wget  
 www.ginguppin.de/node/24/python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb

that's not the url to the package but the blog entry with the package name  
appended! not sure, where you got that url from ...
the correct url (you browser should show it while hovering) is  
http://www.ginguppin.de/files/python-evas_0.2.1-2_armel.deb

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.

   gah! replying to myself.. found out why...
   
   you file was NOT UTF-8~ it was iso8859! no no! MUST BE UTF-8!
   
   attached fixed file - in utf8. works fine.
  
  Nop. I've installed your file and restarted the Xserver;
  if you select CAPS mode, then hit the capital Ñ (Ntilde) it appears as
  capital Ñ in the line and waits for further completion, if you now hit
  this Ñ it is moved to the SMS buffer as small ñ (ntilde).
 
 i'm getting capitals.. actually ok - the 2nd time i do it it is. not the 
 first.
 i think the utf8 normalization that florian did has some issues i think.

For me it does not work; I've marked in CAPS mode 5x the Ñ which gives a
word of Ñ, as you see in
http://www.sisis.de/~guru/OMkbd/Screenshot-25.png
then I touch this word and it is moved to the SMS buffer as (small)
ñ, as you see here
http://www.sisis.de/~guru/OMkbd/Screenshot-26.png

do you want me to file a bug report? where? in OM or Illume?

 and yes - it you use quotes it goes via the dictionary lookup and works better
 - the problem is needing to know what shift plus the 'ñ' key does. as such the
 code does a lookup of keyboard maps - for keymaps that have a/A on a key this
 works. as does 4/$ etc. for shift and caps - the problem is.. you have no
 keyboard with normal ñ key - and thus x doesn't KNOW that shift + ñ == Ñ - it
 has no idea, so you get a small. the string version can encode the
 capitalisation but simply shift + keysym doesnt end up producing a capitalised
 version in x's view of the keyboard world. (unlike shift + a == A).
 
 so now illume needs a hard-coded table of this stuff that x doesn't know to
 basically bypass x. and as such such a table or infra doesn't exist - so 
 you're
 stuck until it does. x's internal table doesnt  have this. :)

I was as well looking for a better solution, like the one I have on my
FreeBSD laptop whith X11+KDE; I'm re-using the WINDOWS key with a script
like this:

$ cat xmod.sh
# para español / for Spanish
#
xmodmap -e keycode 0x73 =  Mode_switch
xmodmap -e keycode 0x39 =  n N ntilde Ntilde
xmodmap -e keycode 0x1a =  e E eacute Eacute
xmodmap -e keycode 0x26 =  a A aacute Aacute
xmodmap -e keycode 0x1f =  i I iacute Iacute
xmodmap -e keycode 0x1e =  u U uacute Uacute
xmodmap -e keycode 0x20 =  o O oacute Oacute
xmodmap -e keycode 0x14 =  questiondown question backslash ssharp
xmodmap -e keycode 0x0a =  1 exclam exclamdown onesuperior

and all is fine, *all* X11 clients get the correct Spanish chars using
  WINDOWSkey + n -- ñ
SHIFT+WINDOWSkey + n -- Ñ
and so on...

I think, this would be the correct way to do that, and of course without any
diccionary lookup; just re-mapping (xmodmap) keycode NUMBER to
KEYSYMNAME(s);

can we have this in OM+Illume too? would be nice;

for the moment I can live having at least the small Spanish chars :-)
the Spanish Writing Rules of RAE (The Real Spain Academy)
claims that on writing the capital chars, they must not, but can, be tilded.
So, from that point of view RAE all is fine now;

Thx

[Om2008.9] alarm works only with ALL days

2009-01-02 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hi,

I've just realized (and double-checked) that the alarm clock only works
(i.e. RINGs) if I configure 'any day'; with for example alarm on
Saturday and Sunday off, no alarm is generated today, a Friday.

Is this a known feature (bug :-))

 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?
 
 

I've found this useful on multiple occasions -

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Bootloader#What_if_I_borked_my_bootloader_environment_and_don.27t_get_a_prompt_anymore.3F

To reset uboot environments. You can also tweak the environment.in file for
stuff like large kernels, or (I guess) different menu entries.

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

Indeed this would be nice but inefficient because every fp operation
have to exist twice only for the sake of makeing it configurable while
running.
I'm used to adjust configure parameter when compiling linux programs. So
to be true i don't mind as long as it is configurable before compiling. :)

[GTA01 Qi] doku fuckup and SD-Boot problems

2009-01-02 Thread Tilman Baumann
Hi,

I have just flashed Qi and have two questions.

First, http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qi clearly states that the boot 
menu via power+aux will still work.
I was sceptical about how that should work since gta01 has no NOR flash. 
But I trusted the source. Needless to say that there is no boot menu!
Am I right in assuming that the wiki is just BS  in this regard?
If that is so, I like to change the text to warn others.

And, how can I get my device in DFU-Mode now? Am I right in assuming 
that Qi has none?
Does this mean that when I trash my rootfs I have no way to re-flash?
How would I write a new bootloader (or whatever) to NAND via a running 
system?

And secondly. I did flash Qi because booting from SD with U-Boot as 
described in the Wiki did not work for me.
Somehow u-boot was not able to read the SD (8gb SDHC).
(Sorry, I have no exact error message because I stopped debugging when 
the USB console trashed my hosts USB subsystem)

I thought maybe Qi does it right.
I have a SD with one ext2 formated partition containing the rootfs and 
/boot/append-GTA01 and /boot/uImage-GTA01.bin

But it still always boots from NAND.

I tried /boot/append-GTA01 with rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 but 
this did not work either.

Any ideas?


PS: Remember GTA01! Some people seem to forget them. ;-)

I have a feeling that you may need a debug board to restore a uboot in order 
to flash a new rootfs (I may be wrong though).

I figure that this should be controlled by the kernel side. Simply the
GPS chip is turned off and then on on suspend/resume. That's why on
resuming it's like you've done a cold reset.

There should be a thread about this on the kernel list...

actually, not by config but by looking at the hardware it runs on :-)

I don’t think it’d be inefficient if this check happens once at startup.
It’d increase the binary size, but that’d be ok for a general purpose
distro such as Debian.

But I see navit isn’t in the official Debian repositories yet, otherwise
I’d suggest you file a wishlist bug report. It would also be possible,
as an easiy solution, to set this flag depending on the architecture the
package is built for.

Questions and Answers

2009-01-02 Thread Sean Moss-Pultz

Dear Community


Here are my answers to your great questions:

 Q1. The end of the year is a time to look back on the year
 achievements. So where does Openmoko stands now from a business point
 of view ? Could you comment on sustainability, on sales numbers, on
 geographic markets and customer categories ?

Let me begin by addressing the market aspects of the question, because I
find this part more fundamental. Openmoko was built from the tools and
knowledge of the Internet. Our argument for the necessity of an open
phone stems from an observation that the Internet breaks down mass
markets by making it economically attractive for companies to address
niche market segments. We saw a real business opportunity caused by this
divergence. So we set out to build a product capable of allowing a
company to reach out to its customers and allowing its customers to talk
back and to talk to each other. This product was the Neo 1973.

We pioneered a new breed of Consumer Electronics companies. The products
we build expand our community. The expanded community makes for better
products and more sales. Ad infinitum. Perhaps one day people will look
back and call such corporate and community teamwork the first, of many,
Social Electronics companies.

FreeRunner, our major product milestone of 2008, started selling in
July. We were more conservative this time with our launch. There were no
pre-orders. We sold first through distributors. Our own order processing
was entirely automated. Last time it was (painfully) manual. I hope
everyone who reads this list will appreciate how much effort FreeRunner
took. Openmoko is a very small company. We succeeded in building a
smartphone only because we didn't have enough experienced people to tell
us that it couldn't be done.

While far better than the Neo 1973, FreeRunner had its share of
problems. The ancient TI Calypso had registration and SIM card
compatibility issues. Audio quality, while slowly improving, still is
not perfect. But I can accept these growing pains. We are improving. We
are much better than our last product. And community effects continue to
materialize in mind-blowing ways. (I will never forget the speed at 
which we all fixed the GPS issue.)

Back to the Basics was our response to your public and private
comments. We continue to refocus internal efforts around these ideas.
Paroli represents a phone application with a feature set reduced to the
bare minimum that is still useful. FSO is our base that will let you
easily build what you want. The entire system is becoming more stable as
we increase our efforts to have our kernel downloadable from kernel.org.
Our technology plan is stabilized at this point. Development priorities
for the next six months are clear.

Openmoko's goal can be written in one sentence: We want to build
consumer products that package the best parts of the FOSS world into
products that are relevant and inspiring to ordinary people.
Inspiring is the key part of this goal in my mind. Here's a list, off
the top of my head, of the things we've inspired to date:

   * A small project inside of FIC to become an independent company
   * 24 distributors around the world to join us in getting our products
 to more people
   * The development of entire distributions (as opposed to just
 applications)
   * Industrial designers to remix our CAD files
   * A very interesting Framework initiative
   * A documentation list with the most amazing Community Update emails

Using inspiration as a metric, without a doubt, Openmoko was a massive
success in 2008. If you want to compare us to Apple and their iPhone I
would be flattered, but I also think it's a strange comparison. We are
very a small company. Sales are just enough (around 10,000 to date) to
survive. Apple has been around for 30 years - Openmoko just under two.
I'm extremely excited about our position going into 2009. At the same
time, I'm very realistic about the road we are traveling. Success will
take everything we've got.



 Q2. The god of January has two faces, one looking back and one looking
 forward, so... Juergen, Eric in Japan and practically everybody else
 want to know when will the GTA03 phone be released, if it will have
 3G/3.5G, a camera and the kitchen sink. Can you tell us anything yet?
 Where do you want Openmoko to be in December 2009?

We sold the FreeRunner based on Openness alone in 2008. We had no real
competition in the marketplace. We were very lucky. But times are
changing. Go ask your non-developer friends what's the most open phone
in the world. They'll say the iPhone or G1. At least that's what I'm
hearing.

Nobody will doubt the value of openness for the mobile industry anymore.
This seems like good news at first glance. But what openness are they
talking about? Look around and you'll find it's pretty different than 
what we've been talking about. Yes, the very definition of openness is 
changing. This troubles me because we cannot influence markets with our

Sean,

I come from a hardware background, chip design mainly, but analogue
(note the spelling :-) ) and DSP(MSc) are still strong points.  Done
chip design for 15 years.  Now I do not have a great deal of time at the
moment, what with a 3 week old baby and stuff!, but if we can get a few
other like minded people together, I am sure we can produce our own open
source SoC.  And if the credit crunch kicks in properly, even more time.

I have heard all about the problems with the crappy Glamo chip.  Why not
have a small CPLD as a co-processor, into which we load a 'codec' for
whatever we are doing at the time, say mp3 decoding, or some video
codec.  We can get cheap and low power enough CPLD's or FPGA's these
days to perform this job.

Lets make this thing really open.  Could even do the GSM part open

our own ASIC should become viable.

or... use something programmable like the omap3 series that comes with a dsp to
offload work to - arm has been working on doing cortex a9 which is multi-core.
forget glamo. it's legacy. if you are talking of doing an SoC you are in for
a hard time. i just did some benchmarks of tro650 vs gta02 vs beagleboard vs
desktop in software rendering:

http://www.rasterman.com/

as you can see - focusing on glamo and fixing it is not goign to net you
anything. just using a modern SoC netted an average gain of about 4-5x the
speed. and it's not even at its rated 600mhz and with slower ram. i'd expect a
good 15-30% up from that just for a production version (ie 600mhz and decent
speed ram). and thats not including any neon optimisations. i have that on my
todo list now i have silicon to play with.

you can go into details of the glamo if you want.. but  it'll just rehash
things. the future for graphics is not discrete chips doing it - but cores on
your SoC. the 3530 has a fast cpu core - fast memory bust with even an l2 cache
- AND it even has a (closed) 3d core (SGX). the cpu alone is fast enough to do
nice gfx on at the resolutions you'd expect on a phone - throw in the dsp and
you're sailing along. producing your own SoC is likely going to net you
something that maybe in 5 years approximates the SoC's of 5 years ago in power
consumption  and performance. if you want a solution and want it in a
reasonable time - simply a better SoC is the go. (what you want exists already
in production - just a matter of using it :))

 become better than anything on the market.

Yes, it was...

 We asked Raster to integrate this keypad into Om 2008 and extend it to
 make it more hacker friendly (i.e., usable from places like the
 terminal). After two months of more or less silence he showed us his own
 version, written from scratch. The design was a work in progress. And 
 the dictionary was far inferior to what Qtopia had already. An internal 
 battle started that lasted until one month before Om 2008 was set to be 
 released when our product manager, Will Lai, couldn't take it anymore. 
 He asked another engineer to just get the Qtopia keypad working.

Ok, I understand this. But, why have you asked Raster to improve a thing
(like qtopia-x11) that should have been only a kind of placeholder?
Wasn't it considered in a such way at that time? I always thought that
the future of Openmoko was going to reach the Framework, and also if
qtopia could be adapted to use it, we all know that its performances
under X aren't the ones that we can bear.

 At that point Raster's keypad was getting stable. It had many new
 features. But basic text entry was still not as good as Qtopia's. Major
 parts of Om 2008, in the meantime, were still not finished (like the
 Glamo or network manager).
 
 Openmoko (the company) needs to focus on simplifying. We need to limit
 ourselves to building what doesn't already exist. We cannot constantly
 try to build better components from scratch. Our resources are just too
 limited for that. Openmoko is trying to repackage the essentials (just
 enough) to make people feel inspired. What's not there is often times
 more inspiring than what is there.

 I emailed Raster, the other day, asking if my current perspective 
 corresponds with his. The main motivation for writing a new keypad from 
 scratch, he said, had to do with his ability to (easily) extend Qtopia's 
 code. C++ and qt were not familiar to him. And he wanted something with 
 more configuration options. To get there with Qtopia, he thought, would 
 take more time then writing a new one from scratch.

So reading this I only think that what Raster said was not only true
about the implementation difficulties, but also about the fact that at
that time we needed something that should have survived to Om2008. The
keyboard he wrote is actually what the future seems to reserve to us and
also if it has some issues with accented words (maybe fixed in svn
r38274?!?) and it performs worse with big dictionaries than the Qtopia
predictive, I figure that he did the right move.

So maybe what happened wasn't in the spirit of the backs to the
basics, but he lead us the best input method available today.

 All I ask is that we please don't continue this debate. We have both 
 now. FSO is using Illume's keypad, so future Om releases will most 
 likely do the same.

Sorry for writing again about this... I know that this (the keyboard
itself) is not the most important thing here, but I was worried by the
fact that we could have lost the farsighted Raster while he was doing
something of great and precious for our future.

Sean

Kudos to you for your openness about the status of Openmoko Inc and the future
roadmap, the numbers so far and future ambitions.Also for your hints about
some of the hard decisions and pain along the way.

Its no small achievement to take this start up to the stage where it can look
forward to improving existing software stacks based on solid FSO middleware and
future product releases given these tough economic times and all in the
community will be pleased to hear that this can be the case.

Having been part of product dev previously I am very forgiving of the hw and sw
bumps in the road that are inevitable - keep up the good work!

I will buy another Openmoko phone as soon as the next one is released. 

Happy new year

JW

Re: [GTA01 Qi] doku fuckup and SD-Boot problems

 Hi,
 
 I have just flashed Qi and have two questions.
 
 First, http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qi clearly states that the boot 
 menu via power+aux will still work.
 I was sceptical about how that should work since gta01 has no NOR flash. 
 But I trusted the source. Needless to say that there is no boot menu!
 Am I right in assuming that the wiki is just BS  in this regard?
 If that is so, I like to change the text to warn others.
 
 And, how can I get my device in DFU-Mode now? Am I right in assuming 
 that Qi has none?
 Does this mean that when I trash my rootfs I have no way to re-flash?
 How would I write a new bootloader (or whatever) to NAND via a running 
 system?
 
the WIKI means the GTA02 NOR flash still work,
so in GTA01, if you flash the Qi, you will lose
the Boot Menu and DFU-Mode.

you must have debug board to flash the u-boot back.
i have no idea about write new bootloader via running system.
 And secondly. I did flash Qi because booting from SD with U-Boot as 
 described in the Wiki did not work for me.
 Somehow u-boot was not able to read the SD (8gb SDHC).
 (Sorry, I have no exact error message because I stopped debugging when 
 the USB console trashed my hosts USB subsystem)
 
 I thought maybe Qi does it right.
 I have a SD with one ext2 formated partition containing the rootfs and 
 /boot/append-GTA01 and /boot/uImage-GTA01.bin
 
 But it still always boots from NAND.
 
 I tried /boot/append-GTA01 with rootfstype=ext2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 but 
 this did not work either.
you can try delete the /boot/append-GTA01, and try again.
hope this can help

 
 Any ideas?
 
 
 PS: Remember GTA01! Some people seem to forget them. ;-)
