 I did see mpg123 and mpc, but I don't know how they will work out on the
neo. OTOH, mplayer does support just about everything out there (including
video). So that's a plus.
 Of course, I'm going to try their reference implementations to see how much
of a gain I get and whether it's worth the effort that will go into
maintaining a full fledged player vs a frontend.
 
  Could some kernel guru tell me whether the standard toolchain is at all
optimised for the ARM4T? Any ideas on how to make things work faster using
the standard toolchain (I suppose size wont be that much of an issue with
SDHC).

 Hi,
  Well, intone - the media player in making (and it's **really** basic as
 of
 now), uses 0% CPU (according to HTOP (all my tests are with it). mplayer,

 a separate thread uses its usual 15% or so.

 You need mplayer (of course!) to try this, for 2008.12 you can get it
 here:
 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Video_Player#Using_the_Glamo_XV_acceleration

 cd /home/root
 wget http://downloads.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/openmoko/mplayer-glamo.tar.bz2
 tar jxf mplayer-glamo.tar.bz2
 cp mplayer /usr/bin/mplayer
 mkdir .mplayer
 cp input.conf ~/.mplayer/input.conf

 and off you go..

 Thanks CC, it seems to work okay (and I like that it doesnt' require
 all the dependencies that make installing pythm a pain :), well
 done!!!
 Looking forward to see a 'stable' version with more features and an
 installation package in opkg.org (someone could package mplayer to
 opkg.org..)

 In the case of the developer version, what specifically is closed?
 

I assume this is a reference to the possibility of binary blobs for
drivers or any other non open-source code that is required to make it
work. That being said, I would definitely buy the developer's phone over
the locked down G1.

[OM] Less power consumption

2009-02-20 Thread Francesco de Virgilio
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,
I've searched around to get an answer, but nothing...

this is just a little question flogging in my mind since 2008.12 was
released: when will we have a lower power-consumption kernel, getting
the Neo FreeRunner usable for 3 or 4 days (suspending it frequently)?

Actually I use my Neo to call my girlfriend and to track with GPS for
OpenStreetMap, but I move around with my Neo with the terror of an empty
battery after a long call or a tracking session.

The development is getting big steps quickly, I've read Paroli is now
working, the first killer apps are on the road, but I think we need a
decent WiFi support and a less hungry kernel... how near are we?

Are there stable and not draining-down kernels avaiable today?

In all the cases, thanks for the Great work the Community is making, I
feel that 2009 will be the year of the Free ('As in Freedom') Phone!

[New software] openBmap logger (GSM positioning)

2009-02-20 Thread Onen
Hi everyone,

the openBmap team is happy to announce the first release of the openBmap 
[1] logger/uploader for freesmartphone.org.

As mentioned on the main page openBmap is a free and open map of 
wireless communicating objects (e.g. cellular antenna, Wi-Fi, 
Bluetooth). It provides tools to mutualize data, create and access this 
map.

At this time, only cellular networks are concerned.
All the software code is AGPL v3 and data are Creative Commons License
(creative commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported), thus the data 
is free to use (in the same way as OpenStreetMap).

Map status (last update 2009-02-06 03:30:31)
Cellular: 6 countries, 9 mobile networks, 313 location area codes, 8905 
cells

This could be used for:
* locate you on a map. You don't need to turn GPS on. And as your GSM is 
always on, and the database is located on your phone, it is 
instantaneous. This prevent your battery and your privacy (don't need to 
send your GSM data to anyone on the Web).

* provide rough location (the GSM gives less precise result as GPS) to 
the GPS, in order to speed up first time to fix.

* ...

The package Freesmartphone.org client [2] provides you with a logger, 
and an uploader. It has been tested against FSO Milestones 5.

If you want to get located through your GSM data, at the moment you can 
use the Web API [3]. There is a Web interface [4] available to use this 
API and display zones on a map.

We hope many will upload!

Privacy note: when you upload, exactly as with OSM, your logs allow to 
know where and when you were. You have been warned ;-) !

I copy/paste the README of the package at the end of this email.

Onen

[1] http://realtimeblog.free.fr/
[2] http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=218065
[3] http://realtimeblog.free.fr/api/openbmap_api.php
[4] http://realtimeblog.free.fr/cell_map.php

README:

openBmap logger version 0.1

What you should expect:
* generation of logs
* upload of logs

Manual:
Interface is straightforward.

* A button to start generating logs. Values will be displayed when
valid. Logs are stored under HOME/.openBmap/Logs by default.
* A button to stop generating logs.

Note that at the moment, the GSM part gets updated only after
receiving an asynchronous update from the network. This
means at start time, it is normal the GSM part does not display
GSM information, even if you are registered to network.

* A button to upload. This will block the interface until every log has 
been uploaded.
This means that if you do not have Internet connection up and
running, the GUI will be frozen until timeout of the upload part.
After succesfull upload, the logs are moved to
HOME/.openBmap/Processed_logs by default.

Warning: you should create an account on realtimeblog.free.fr
website, and fill the login/password in the configuration file
before upload works.

* A button to exit.

Config file and application log are located under HOME/.openBmap
directory by default.

Known bugs:
* when you are generating logs, and you press 'Stop' button.
   A popup window let you know you should wait for the logger to
   finish stopping. Under FSO M5, if you press the power
   button, the phone suspends. You press it again it wakes up.
   Nevertheless the GUI is frozen. You will have to kill the
   process.

You should try FSO 5 or unstable SHR.

With latest unstable SHR image, after 40 hours mostly suspended I had about 
50% battery.

battery life is improving a lot!

True - but the things that improve is leaking less battery when nothing
happens, either by suspending or turning off things like backlight, gps,
wifi, etc.

What the top poster is asking is when do I get 3 days of GPS tracking -
and I guess the answer is never?

Why setting up your own database, while opencellid has

I think using there database will concentrate the data in on place and

You can buy extra batteries. The USB battery

is only $14.43. I don't think this lets you use it for 3 days but it

this has already been discussed in this thread on the devel list:

What happens is that the license of data in the opencellid database is not
clearly stated. People from openmoko has tried to contact them. We have tried
two times over three months time to contact them also. We have no answer so far.
No license does mean: you cannot use it at all, because you do not have any idea
of your rights over it.

Hope this answer your question.

 battery after a long call or a tracking session.

How do you move around? For a car, most lighter-to-usb chargers will 
work fine. And it also lets you charge the phone on the way to/from 
work/shopping, so you start out with a fully charged phone. Such a 
charger can be made to work on a motorbike too.

For bicycle, consider one of these:
* DIY connection to a bicycle generator.
* Bring extra phone batteries
* Bring a small 12V battery and the above mentioned usb charger. That
   battery can be much smaller than a car or motorcycle battery.

 The development is getting big steps quickly, I've read Paroli is now
 working, the first killer apps are on the road, but I think we need a
 decent WiFi support and a less hungry kernel... how near are we?

The kernel will always be hungry when you do gps logging, because the
processor must stay on in order to move coordinates from the gps
chip onto a file - once per second. (tangogps will need more power 
because it also draws a track (can be turned off) and your position on 
the map. cgpxlogger can be used to just log to a file without
displaying anything, maybe drawing slightly less power. Don't know if it 
is ported to arm though.

I find tangogps more useful for openstreetmap, because it shows me
what is in the map already.

 It is a problem since u-blox might go out of business and you might

 The problem is that data from u-blox is a proprietary format, and as
 far as I know, we do not know yet how to create the same data that can
 be pushed to the GPS chip.

As far as I know - we do know the format. The SHR distribution
already saves such data before turning the gps off, and restores it when 
you turn it on so you get the first fix quicker.

Not all the data is used at the moment, because the process sometimes 
fail yelding long startup times. But that should only be a debugging 
problem.

It is already possible to set up a free server for almanac data, as 
saving and loading almanac data works well and speed up TTFF some.

Re: Annuncing new Project - Intone mplayer frontend

2009-02-20 Thread Fabian Henze
Hi,

   Well, intone - the media player in making (and it's **really** basic as
 of now), uses 0% CPU (according to HTOP (all my tests are with it).
 mplayer, in a separate thread uses its usual 15% or so.

   I'm using anjuta and glade for development, using fifo (named pipe) to
 communicate with mplayer running as slave and gtk+ for the frontend. As I
 have said before - the code is ***really*** basic. It makes a lot of
 assumptions, and is right now just a demonstration program - while I get
 some feedback on whether I need to put in any more time in it at all.

If it is in such an early state, you might consider switching to some EFL 
based GUI library, like Elementary or Edje. Besides eating less RAM than your 
GTK+ program, they are also easier to use on touchscreen devices.
Your ideas sound really promising, so please consider the switch to a toolkit, 
that was designed for small screen devices.
(The right tool for the right job ;-))

I'm a complete n00b to the freerunner, I don't even have my phone yet, but
for saving power when using GPS is there a quick way to turn off GPS when it
is not needed and back on that will cut down on power usage, also delaying
when it updates might help two of my friends have an Iphone and they update
GPS every 2-3 seconds I don't think setting a delay in the updates would be
such a bad thing here as long as it is not something insane like 10 seconds
or more.

As said bellow, I think you should use external power for GPS...

What I was trying to say is that only 3 months ago, my battery life was  24 h

Being ~50% after 40 hours is a HUGE improvement :)

   Hi everyone,
  
   the openBmap team is happy to announce the first release of the openBmap
   [1] logger/uploader for freesmartphone.org.
  
   As mentioned on the main page openBmap is a free and open map of
   wireless communicating objects (e.g. cellular antenna, Wi-Fi,
   Bluetooth). It provides tools to mutualize data, create and access this
   map.
  
   At this time, only cellular networks are concerned.
   All the software code is AGPL v3 and data are Creative Commons License
   (creative commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported), thus the data
   is free to use (in the same way as OpenStreetMap).
  
   Map status (last update 2009-02-06 03:30:31)
   Cellular: 6 countries, 9 mobile networks, 313 location area codes, 8905
   cells
  
   This could be used for:
   * locate you on a map. You don't need to turn GPS on. And as your GSM is
   always on, and the database is located on your phone, it is
   instantaneous. This prevent your battery and your privacy (don't need to
   send your GSM data to anyone on the Web).
  
   * provide rough location (the GSM gives less precise result as GPS) to
   the GPS, in order to speed up first time to fix.
  
   * ...
  
   The package Freesmartphone.org client [2] provides you with a logger,
   and an uploader. It has been tested against FSO Milestones 5.
  
   If you want to get located through your GSM data, at the moment you can
   use the Web API [3]. There is a Web interface [4] available to use this
   API and display zones on a map.
  
   We hope many will upload!
  
   Privacy note: when you upload, exactly as with OSM, your logs allow to
   know where and when you were. You have been warned ;-) !
  
   I copy/paste the README of the package at the end of this email.

   [4] http://realtimeblog.free.fr/cell_map.php
  
   README:
  
   openBmap logger version 0.1
  
   What you should expect:
   * generation of logs
   * upload of logs
  
   Manual:
   Interface is straightforward.
  
   * A button to start generating logs. Values will be displayed when
   valid. Logs are stored under HOME/.openBmap/Logs by default.
   * A button to stop generating logs.
  
   Note that at the moment, the GSM part gets updated only after
   receiving an asynchronous update from the network. This
   means at start time, it is normal the GSM part does not display
   GSM information, even if you are registered to network.
  
   * A button to upload. This will block the interface until every log has
   been uploaded.
   This means that if you do not have Internet connection up and
   running, the GUI will be frozen until timeout of the upload part.
   After succesfull upload, the logs are moved to
   HOME/.openBmap/Processed_logs by default.
  
   Warning: you should create an account on realtimeblog.free.fr
   website, and fill the login/password in the configuration file
   before upload works.
  
   * A button to exit.
  
   Config file and application log are located under HOME/.openBmap
   directory by default.
  
   Known bugs:
   * when you are generating logs, and you press 'Stop' button.
  A popup window let you know you should wait for the logger to
  finish stopping. Under FSO M5, if you press the power
  button, the phone suspends. You press it again it wakes up.
  Nevertheless the GUI is frozen. You will have to kill the
  process.

from command line with very few memory / cpu use ?
For OM, SHR or debian based distribution ?

It could be great to activate a GPS only mode wich turn off GSM, Wifi,
etc. and all the librairy running which are useless for only gps tracking.
The best would be a specific distribution ?

 last time i tested it (been some time)
 i was able to get around 8hours of gps tracking
 using tangogps, screen almost constantly dimmed

  With latest unstable SHR image, after 40 hours mostly suspended I had
 about
  50% battery.
 
  battery life is improving a lot!
 
  The GPS tracking is not a problem, since I'm going to buy a Garmin
  GPSMap 60Csx (battery life around 20h of tracking with 2 AA batteries)
  because I need also a good routing device. The real problem is that
  for my complicated day 15h life with a normal use of the phone is too
 few.
 
  My last mail was finalized to find a pretty way to improve the life of
  my FR. This is the way. I think that SHR unstable + the Rechargeable USB
  Emergency Power Backup Pack suggested by Timo Juhani Lindfors
 
  You can buy extra batteries. The USB battery
 
  http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3060
 
  is only $14.43. I don't think this lets you use it for 3 days but it
  will at least make it 12 instead of 6 hours.
 
  should work for me.
 
  However, also a good wifi roaming device could be interesting... is
  there a way to get the SHR unstable connect to open wifi networks around
  the streets?
 
  Thanks to all for the hints :)

Hi,

I had a look, but did not find a way to download the data? And what is the
license?

The whole point to me, is to have data with a license which lets me download it,
and use it directly on my phone. I don't want to send my GSM coordinate to any
third party on the Web to get my GPS position. It is a matter of privacy.

Re: Community Updates/February 20, 2009 released !

2009-02-20 Thread Mirko Lindner
Hi,

I can't speak for the whole engineering, but I can bring light on paroli 
and the respective images.

Over the past 7 days we have:

- gotten daily build unstable images which by now boot directly into paroli
http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/unstable/NeoFreerunner/fso-paroli-image-om-gta02.jffs2
http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/unstable/NeoFreerunner/uImage-2.6.28-oe1+gitr34240a1c06ae36180dee695aa25bbae869b2aa26-r3-om-gta02.bin

They do come with bugs and issues sometimes critical like today when 
paroli hangs because a resource in the framework is not available at 
paroli launch. This will be gone tomorrow.

- Fixed lots of bugs and issues such as:
-- unicode in message reading
-- loading messages from the SIM and saving incoming messages in the 
phone automatically
-- made all our lists automatically react to changes in items etc
-- gui issues such as the PIN dialog
-- got rid of the green topbar ;)
-- muting ringtone on incoming call
-- muting call in call (also as of tomorrow again)

- moved most of the Milestone two tickets[1] to testing

and

- were feverishly working on the stuff for the next milestone[2]

What are we planning to do next?

- keep on fixing issues in MS2
- continue working towards MS3
- get the kbd to match paroli on the image
- get messaging and contacts up and running as soon as possible to allow 
brave testers to use paroli daily ... any volnteers ? ;)

Hope this is what you were looking for.
If not just give me a ping and I'll spill out more details.

And again if anyone is interested in helping out with paroli, contribute 
code or test or or or ... Let us know!

Re: [New software] openBmap logger (GSM positioning)

2009-02-20 Thread onen . om

I have discovered this project as I was cleaning up my code for release. At
first glance, the differences are:
* It sends direct AT commands to the modem, and parse the responses.
  openBmap relies on freesmartphone.org
* So far they only collect data.
  We already have the Web API available to use the data to get located. Nick has
already done a lot of work to create the GSM coverage areas out of the raw
datas.

But now that I have released my work, I will get in touch with the people at
cellhunter to see if we could cooperate.

For the moment our position is:

We log the cell ids we get connected to.

We do not log the neighbour cells. The reason is: if we are far from the cells,
we will (maybe, this needs experimentation to my point of view) see the cells
even very far. I fear that it would stretch the areas, and thus decrease the
precision, nullifying the benefit of recording those additional cells.

But, my idea, is to use the neighbour cells, to detect the overlapping region
among areas of cells I currently see, to improve the precision.

Any comments?

That's the current position of my script too. But I wanted to log both
the current cell and the respective levels of the neighbour cells.
That way, I could try (with a lt of data) to guess the actual
localization of the tower. Though that part only makes sense in my own
business, and not necessarily in the general geolocation by GSM

2009-02-20 Thread Yorick Moko
isn't more data always preferable? you could still decide not to use them...
cells that we are connected to would recieve a higher precision off course,

but if I walk five times around in a city, and I never get connected
to a certain cell, but I know a lot of points where that cell is in
range, and a lot of points where it isn't? I don't find it impossible
that one could distill some information from this.

And even a precision of 30km or more helps the assisted gps from
ublox; so neighbouring cells can certainly be of some help, don't you
agree?

  script, and I'd like to know where I should commit them to.
 
 
  Could you please make a wiki page and put + explain your script for doing
  that ? I think we can go very fast if anyone can use them (thinking about
  how openstreetmap extends..)
 
  Thanks in advance

Re: [New software] openBmap logger (GSM positioning)

2009-02-20 Thread onen . om

If you are interested in getting the position of the cells, this point was
discussed in the thread I pointed out earlier in this thread:
http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2009-January/004064.html

Maybe this can help you with your work.

 That's the current position of my script too. But I wanted to log both
 the current cell and the respective levels of the neighbour cells.
 That way, I could try (with a lt of data) to guess the actual
 localization of the tower. Though that part only makes sense in my own
 business, and not necessarily in the general geolocation by GSM
 data-thing.

 Btw, it's useful to add GSM cell information and GPS location
 information to the filename when it is available.

I think that implementing this the Neo FreeRunner will be the first
phone for mappers (I'm referring to OpenStreetMap). Georeferred voice
notes could be a coolest feature in a completely open phone to produce
completely open maps.

Actually, the audio mapping[1] is supported by the main OSM editor,
JOSM[2], and is the smartest way to collect streets names for bikers.

An important note: it is not necessary for a mapper to have the
recordings georeferred with latitude and longitude, the audio metadata
could contain simply the time catched by GPS, and in this way the file
will be georeferred on a GPX.

In both the cases, again, after TangoGPS (with OSM support) this could
be the big step to create a phone for mappers.

Good work :)

By the way, I create a package called voicenote, and:
a wiki page : http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Voicenote
a opkg page : http://www.opkg.org/package_140.html

As you can read in the wiki page

Voicenote - new software

2009-02-20 Thread kimaidou
Hi all

As the project I had to create a small software to record audio from the
microphone has given birth to a package, I officially tell the list about
it.
You can find the wiki page here :
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Voicenote
And the opkg page here
http://www.opkg.org/package_140.html

As you can see in the todo list, the project is very young :
* I need feedbacks
* there are many things to implement

But it is a 0.1 version, so let it grow.

Thanks for those who helped and commented, and please add your comment /
wish list / idea / code in the discussion page of the wiki page

Re: Voicenote - new software

2009-02-20 Thread kimaidou

 I'd like to have voice detection so that it records only when I
 talk. I'm sure there is some existing software that does this so
 writing new is not necessary.


It will be harder to do than this because :
* even if the soft exists, I have no knowledge to use it (my coding skill
are very thin, I don't know how to make librairies, signals and all this
type of things communicate
* the environment of the freerunner is ofter noisy
* the process must stay awake in wait mode, so it uses CPU.
* the freerunner can receive a phone call

So, my simple voicenote soft will really focus on taking one note at a time,
with the simplest code possible. Could you please tell me in wich context
you will need voice detection ?

Awesome. Thanks for doing this.

 The package Freesmartphone.org client [2] provides you with a logger, 
 and an uploader. It has been tested against FSO Milestones 5.

Did you build this package by hand or with a recipe for OE? I ask because I
would like to include it into OE and put it into the MS5 feed and perhaps also
in the image for the next milestone.

If you have an bitbake recipe that would make my life easier, if not just tell

OpenCellID (was OpenBmap logger (GSM positioning)])

2009-02-20 Thread Thomas Landspurg
  Dear OpenMoko community (and thanks ed for pointing this out).

  I am behind the opencellid.org project, and it seems that there are some
discussion around it these day on the mailing list.

  So let me clarifiy:

- As described in the web site, the license is under creative common share
alike 3.0. I had several request today stating that just linking to the
license was not clear enough, so I will re-clarify it on the web site, but
also in this list.

- I am surprised to see statment that I did not answer to some questions.
I've verified,and all openmoko request have been answered. I am not perfect,
and may be some emails have been missed, but a search on openmoko on my mail
box did not raise any pending question.

There is more than 100 000 cells covered, with 5.5 millions of measure,
and more cells will be donated soon. We expect to reach 200 000 cells in
the coming weeks thanks to a new project donation. There is also more than
10 different clients (windows mobile, symbian, blackberry, j2me,...)
gathering the database.

  I've been running this project since more than one year , with an
objective to push community efforts around cell id. So I would be more than
happy to see new effort joining this project instead of creating separate
efforts.  So let's join effort and create something big!

 And as a reminder, the complete data base is available for download.

 So if you have any question/interrogation, feel free to share them with me
so we can clarify this.

 Regards,

 Hi,

 this has already been discussed in this thread on the devel list:
 http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2009-January/004064.html

 What happens is that the license of data in the opencellid database is not
 clearly stated. People from openmoko has tried to contact them. We have
 tried
 two times over three months time to contact them also. We have no answer so
 far.
 No license does mean: you cannot use it at all, because you do not have any
 idea
 of your rights over it.

 Hope this answer your question.

 Onen


 Quoting Ed Kapitein e...@kapitein.org:

  Hi,
 
  Why setting up your own database, while opencellid has
  TotalCells:106120 acording to http://www.opencellid.org/cell/stats ?
  I think using there database will concentrate the data in on place and
  will give you a better coverage.

   the openBmap team is happy to announce the first release of the
 openBmap
   [1] logger/uploader for freesmartphone.org.
  
   As mentioned on the main page openBmap is a free and open map of
   wireless communicating objects (e.g. cellular antenna, Wi-Fi,
   Bluetooth). It provides tools to mutualize data, create and access this
   map.
  
   At this time, only cellular networks are concerned.
   All the software code is AGPL v3 and data are Creative Commons License
   (creative commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported), thus the data
   is free to use (in the same way as OpenStreetMap).
  
   Map status (last update 2009-02-06 03:30:31)
   Cellular: 6 countries, 9 mobile networks, 313 location area codes, 8905
   cells
  
   This could be used for:
   * locate you on a map. You don't need to turn GPS on. And as your GSM
 is
   always on, and the database is located on your phone, it is
   instantaneous. This prevent your battery and your privacy (don't need
 to
   send your GSM data to anyone on the Web).
  
   * provide rough location (the GSM gives less precise result as GPS) to
   the GPS, in order to speed up first time to fix.
  
   * ...
  
   The package Freesmartphone.org client [2] provides you with a logger,
   and an uploader. It has been tested against FSO Milestones 5.
  
   If you want to get located through your GSM data, at the moment you can
   use the Web API [3]. There is a Web interface [4] available to use this
   API and display zones on a map.
  
   We hope many will upload!
  
   Privacy note: when you upload, exactly as with OSM, your logs allow to
   know where and when you were. You have been warned ;-) !
  
   I copy/paste the README of the package at the end of this email.

 files. All that was required was a frontend for it! I know pythm is just
 that, but my Neo uses more than 30% CPU with it. It could be a minor bug -

I'll just remind people here that pythm also works with MPD.  If you use
the MPD backend, it works very efficiently (probably the same as what
you see with your mplayer+intone).

The other advantage of MPD is that you can control it from anywhere
since the communication between the frontend and the backend is over
a TCP/IP connection.  E.g. you can use your FR's pythm as a remote
control for your other machines's MPDs (I have an MPD running on
a small server at home, turning it into a jukebox).

Thanks for your work!
I've been trying to build QtE too, however, I'm trying to build it using 
FSO as the base image, using the FSO toolchain as mwester's page.
However I've not been successful so far (it complains about not finding 
dbus-1, I will be trying to debug it and get it to work all day today so 
I'll report back if i get to something)
The main idea is to modernize the underlying rootfs for qtextended, so 
we can benefit from all the kernel bugfixing and all that (and faster 
boot times!)

regards
Tom

Re: thoughts on A-GPS offline

2009-02-20 Thread Stefan Monnier
 But where do we get this almanac data? Can we redistribute what
 u-box.com sends us?

AFAIK, the almanac data that framworkd saves from the GPS can come from
u-blox but can also come directly from the GPS satellites.  So we could
try to setup some kind of peer-to-peer distribution of the data
downloaded from the satellites.  Of course, that presumes we have the
right to distribute the satellite's data.

Re: Qt Extended 4.4.2 SDK Build Instructions

2009-02-20 Thread Filip Onkelinx
Hi,

I'm using my own QtExtended image, based on :

QtExtended 4.4.3 snapshot (13 Feb 2009 version)
Kernel 2.6.28
Based on Hackable1 (debian based rootfs, giving me easy access to all  
commandline tools. It is also possible to 'switch' between Qt  X.
running from µ-SD

The image is not yet 100% working, but I?m able to use my FR as a reliable  
mobile phone with a decent running time and a fun hacking device at the  
same time.
I'll post my patches (mostly changes to Qt to adapt for the new kernel)  
somewhere during the next days , and once I have an image that I'm happy  
with I'll make it available for download.

Filip.

fyp in qemu?

2009-02-20 Thread Kai Timmer
Hello,
i am new to this whole openmoko stuff, so please be patient with me ;)

I tried to get a fyp installation running in qemu. Here is what i did:
1. compiled qemu with:

$ svn checkout https://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/host/qemu-neo1973
$ cd qemu-neo1973
$ ./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu
$ make

then i downloaded the 2 files from here:
http://opensvn.csie.org/fyp/releases/2.17/
and put them in ./openmoko/

now i changed openmoko/env to match the filenames.
A openmoko/flash.sh runs fine until it stops with the following error:

Please wait, programming the NAND flash...
qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x0004
[followed by a qemu register dump]

What is going wrong? Is it possible at all to get this running (i need
something to play with until my device is delivered :) )?

Just flash Qi to u-boot and you won't have to bother with env.

 Hi
 Can you please tell me on which distribution you have installed it, and how
 ?
 There are actually a desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ and a icon in
 the /usr/share/pixmaps.
 So on the OM and SHR distros, an icon should appear.
 Please provide more details please :S

Ignore, it's working, my mistake.

If you like to get this into OE and thus into the feed for FSO and other distros
let me know. If you don't have a bitbake recipe building the ipkg let me know
the the building details and I can take care of it.

Re: Qt Extended 4.4.2 SDK Build Instructions

2009-02-20 Thread Warren Baird
That's great - I'm using QtE 4.4.2 right now, and I'd love to get an updated
build - but I don't really have the time to muck about getting everything to
compile.

If you can share your images when they are ready, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

 Hi,

 I'm using my own QtExtended image, based on :

 QtExtended 4.4.3 snapshot (13 Feb 2009 version)
 Kernel 2.6.28
 Based on Hackable1 (debian based rootfs, giving me easy access to all
 commandline tools. It is also possible to 'switch' between Qt  X.
 running from µ-SD

 The image is not yet 100% working, but I?m able to use my FR as a reliable

 I'll post my patches (mostly changes to Qt to adapt for the new kernel)

Re: [New software] openBmap logger (GSM positioning)

hi,

Yorick Moko wrote:
 isn't more data always preferable? you could still decide not to use them...
 cells that we are connected to would recieve a higher precision off course,
 

Agreed. That is the point of view of Nick (from the project). Add a 
field to know if the log is a connected cell, or a neighbour one. On the 
phone the idea is to have the areas of the cells in a database. Not 
every GPS point uploaded to the raw database. But still, the raw 
database could grow up pretty fast. You should see with Nick, he takes 
care of the server side.

 but if I walk five times around in a city, and I never get connected
 to a certain cell, but I know a lot of points where that cell is in
 range, and a lot of points where it isn't? I don't find it impossible
 that one could distill some information from this.
 

Probably. But again the database could grow quickly. But as stated in my 
previous email, I think we need to experiment with this, to see what 
works or not, and what takes not too much space.

 And even a precision of 30km or more helps the assisted gps from
 ublox; so neighbouring cells can certainly be of some help, don't you
 agree?
 

I definitely think that using the neighbour cells to improve accuracy at 
locating time, will be much useful. What I wonder, is if to log them, 
increasing the amount of data, but stretching the areas related to them 
will bring us anything.

 For the moment our position is:

 We log the cell ids we get connected to.

 We do not log the neighbour cells. The reason is: if we are far from the 
 cells,
 we will (maybe, this needs experimentation to my point of view) see the cells
 even very far. I fear that it would stretch the areas, and thus decrease the
 precision, nullifying the benefit of recording those additional cells.

 But, my idea, is to use the neighbour cells, to detect the overlapping region
 among areas of cells I currently see, to improve the precision.

 Any comments?

 Awesome. Thanks for doing this.
 

I think so too ;-)

 The package Freesmartphone.org client [2] provides you with a logger, 
 and an uploader. It has been tested against FSO Milestones 5.
 
 Did you build this package by hand or with a recipe for OE? I ask because I
 would like to include it into OE and put it into the MS5 feed and perhaps also
 in the image for the next milestone.

By hand. Thanks for helping! That would be awesome too!

 
 If you have an bitbake recipe that would make my life easier, if not just tell
 my if there is anythoing special I need to know for building it.
 

I don't have a recipe. Nothing comes to my mind about something special 
for building it. It was working with python 2.5 under FSO M4.1. The 
package puts the file now under 2.6 python directories, under FSO M5.

I only have forgotten one dependency in the package description: the 
framework!

Pidgin Facebook plugin :: troubleshoot arm problems...

2009-02-20 Thread Tim Dobson
Hi there,

I'm on 2008.12 += Kustomizer and I have just got pidgin working.

On my desktop I use a hackish pidgin plugin to use facebook chat via pidgin.
The website is here:
http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/

There is a version built for arm: 
http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/downloads/detail?name=libfacebookarm-1.47.so

but I get the feeling it is arm5 because the moment one starts to use it 
pidgin crashes because of illegal instruction

The only reason I attempted to use the prebuilt version is because I had 
such a touch time trying to get the right things installed to be able to 
build my own (I'm not experienced at doing this!)

Has anyone got any ideas?

Tim

howto install it:

Hi Thomas,

Thomas Landspurg wrote:
 
   Dear OpenMoko community (and thanks ed for pointing this out).
 
   I am behind the opencellid.org http://opencellid.org project, and it 
 seems that there are some discussion around it these day on the mailing 
 list.
 

Last month, and today, indeed.

   So let me clarifiy:
 
 - As described in the web site, the license is under creative common 
 share alike 3.0. I had several request today stating that just linking 
 to the license was not clear enough, so I will re-clarify it on the web 
 site, but also in this list.
 

Last time I checked (and other people, see the post I pointed out 
earlier today), it was not clear. But today, as people had a look again, 
it seems to me pretty clear :-)

 - I am surprised to see statment that I did not answer to some 
 questions. I've verified,and all openmoko request have been answered. I 
 am not perfect, and may be some emails have been missed, but a search on 
 openmoko on my mail box did not raise any pending question.
 

Not sure what you mean by openmoko request... When I stated that neither 
us nor openmoko did get an answer, I should have written: If I recall 
correclty openmoko tried to reach opencellid, but I have not heard of 
any response. We tried to contact opencellid, but got no response. I 
personally have not tried to reach you. But Nick yes, without answer, 
for what I have understood.

 There is more than 100 000 cells covered, with 5.5 millions of 
 measure, and more cells will be donated soon. We expect to reach 200 
 000 cells in the coming weeks thanks to a new project donation. There is 
 also more than 10 different clients (windows mobile, symbian, 
 blackberry, j2me,...) gathering the database.
 

Is there different countries?

Good to see there is no client for openmoko, otherwise I may have worked 
for nothing ;-)

   I've been running this project since more than one year , with an 
 objective to push community efforts around cell id. So I would be more 
 than happy to see new effort joining this project instead of creating 
 separate efforts.  So let's join effort and create something big!
 

I am very glad to read this, especially as I was very disappointed not 
being able to leverage the existing work you have done. For my part I 
work on the client side. A logger/uploader. I guess it would be easy to 
modify it to upload to your database if we go that way. But for now, I 
think it would be good Nick (who takes care of the server side) and you 
keep discussing, in order to evaluate a possible merger.

As there are also plans on embedding the database on the phone, and 
using it to locate, I would like to know if this part would interest 
you? Or only the server side and upload?

  And as a reminder, the complete data base is available for download.
 
  So if you have any question/interrogation, feel free to share them with 
 me so we can clarify this.
 
  Regards,

Great we can move along. I hated this feeling of reinventing the wheel!

Onen
