 Suddenly it became obvious...
 
 There is an open phone where approx. 18000 cases have been sold.
 
 It is called Neo Freerunner (and 3000 thereof are Neo 1973).
 So there are nice cases out there. Well, they lack some features,
 but other cases aren't perfect either.
 
 So why get a different one, when most of us already have one :)

Agree, i am more interested in the board now than the case. Until all the 
software is working the case is not problem for me.

When it starts working as a phone i will not need my freerunner case anymore, 
since i dont plan to carry 2 phones with me. I think your strategy is good.

Another idea - i wonder if i could make the case of wood. That would be very 
environment friendly and wood is also good material. But that's just idea.

I was thinking about buying N900 since it's very cheap now, but this project 
looks much better and i am looking forward to start some hacking on it :)

Laser cutting works with wood, though you do get slightly charred edges. 
Milling works well with a lot of hardwoods. There might be some design 
features that depend on material properties, so you might need some 
modifications for a wood case, but it's certainly worth a try.

We should find someone who is making wooden musical instruments
(woodwinds and strings).

They should know which type of tree is the best one for fine and precise
structures and how to cut and glue it.

qtmoko lagging after 2nd boot - was: qtmoko v28

2010-10-27 Thread Ugo Raffaele Piemontese
Hi everyone,
I am writing here because I'm having some serious usability issues with 
the latest qtmoko version, v28.

After flashing it to NAND, its speed was impressive: ultra-fast boot, 
great responsiveness and absolutely no lags. I set up my wifi network, 
installed 2 or 3 packages and shutdown the phone since it was slowing down.
At first I tought this could be a RAM problem, but booting my Freerunner 
again after some time (~2 hours) I noticed a general slowness and 
frequent lags from the beginning.
For example, kinetic scrolling is now quite unresponsive (it stops and 
only after few seconds - 2 or 3 - completes the scrolling) and I can't 
write a text message because the keyboard takes a lot of time to reply 
to my input on the touchscreen. Btw, I am absolutely sure this is not a 
problem related to packages installed: they are all games or simple 
utilities. Also, logging service is off.

Is someone experiencing the same problems?

Kind regards,
Ugo Raffaele Piemontese

I often thought about this, and i think its a very nice idea. It would
give a nice feeling in the hand, i think. Maybe especially for people
with sweaty hands, like me.

But you have to rethink a whole lot. I think wood can be bended like
plastics, but its not as elastic as plastic, it will wear off faster.
You cannot make a clip mounting for the back cover, like it is now.

Cheers,
Fabian

Is it reproducible and always or just occasional? It would be worth to connect 
freerunner to PC and check from SSH if top shows some extra cpu usage or maybe 
there is some hint in dmesg.

Hi Radek,

top and dmesg show nothing interesting... Maximum cpu usage is about 40% and 
ram usage is 38% max.
Gpe process uses most resources during slowdowns (24% cpu, 27.7% ram).

ERRATA CORRIGE

I double-checked, rebooting and connecting the Freerunner to my pc: during 
slowdowns QPE process (sorry, I wrote Gpe before) takes about 80% of cpu!
Is it regular? I hope not...

No it looks like the problem, but hard to tell what is happening. One 
possibility is gdb and break the qpe process and see something from 
stacktrace, or maybe running strace could also tell what is happening. Anyway 
it's might be not easy :-(

how to use JTAG on debug board ?

2010-10-27 Thread Harald Koenig
Hi OM developers,

I'd like to use the OM debug board v3 for JTAG connection to my GTA02.
I found

  http://people.openmoko.org/werner/openocd.cfg
on
  http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2008-January/000708.html

but this file does not work for any openocd release version I was able to find 
(I tried 0.1.0, 0.2.0, 0.3.1, 0.4.0 and git head).


up to version 0.3.1 it only has this error

   invalid command name daemon_startup_attach

and many warnings about lots of deprecated commands.
even the oldest availabe version 0.1.0 already complains about jtag_speed:

   jtag_speed: 8
   OLD SYNTAX: DEPRECATED - translating to new syntax

which does not work anymore at all in 0.4.0 and newer...

where can I find/get an openocd.cfg file for the GTA02 for a recent version of 
openocd ?



thanks for any pointers how to get started with the debug board these days!!

Harald

 Hello,

 Was just pointed to this project by a colleague after complaining
 about the hassles of rooting and jailbreaking my smartphone...

 Let me ask two questions to everybody:
 * How long could you be willing to wait for it to really become
 available?

 Until the demise of the A7++ that I will order as soon as they are
 back in stock...

 * How much would you think you could afford to pay for such a board?

 Others have talked about a price of EUR 500 and I would be happy to
 part with that amount for a next gen open smart phone.

 Personally, I am in favour of high-end high-quality design (like the
 iPhone) even if it costs money.

 +1.
