QtMoko and X applicatiions

2013-01-24 Thread Iain B. Findleton
Is there any easy way to run X applications under QtMoko? I'm not mush
of a Qt person, and QtMoko does not appear to have X set up by default.

There's an application that comes with QtMoko called QX. QtMoko runs
entirely off the framebuffer by default, but QX is sort of like having
the X Server inside an application. You choose a command to run in QX
and it just works.

Enhancing an RPi with phone capabilities

2013-01-24 Thread jcommeli
Dear list,

I have been following the discussions on this list with great interest.
Finally I have a project that I would like to work on, but I do not have
all the expertise.
You probably all know about the Raspberry Pi [1] (creditcard size computer
for $35). I was wondering if it would be easy to give it phone
capabilities. And with that, I do not mean only SMS, but also phone calls
(calling and receiving).
I would be very glad to receive pointers about what is needed for this,
both in terms of hardware and software. (Since I have never soldered
before, I would like to know of solutions that work via USB or something
like that.)

I have read quite a bit about Huawei modems and using them for internet
connection + SMS. But there is very little information (as far as I know)
about phone calls.

Best regards,
--

Just plug in a USB 3G modem?

you can install freewitch on a raspberrypi use the stable release as
although the latest version builds, it does not run (at least not for me)

http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide

you then have an opening into the world of voip - there are many things taht
could be done eg

http://robsmart.co.uk/2009/06/02/freeswitch_linksys3102/

apart from the obvious - using a softphone or buying a hardware voip handset.

Freeswitch takes several hours to build on the pi, there are asterisk
packages in raspbian so that would be an alternative. Don't bother with
sipwitch though, which is, to be charitable, a work in progress (it chewed 98%
of cpu while doing nothing for me) and is poorly documented.

Assuming it's one with voice capability and software support, yes. Some 
research will be needed to see if there's a combination of bits known to work 
with the Pi.

Ofono is packaged in Raspbian and claims support for a selection of 3G 
dongles. Probably the easiest route. I think there's a GUI via a telepathy 
module and empathy.

FSO is also packaged, but I don't know what dongle support it has, if any.

Asterisk should work with chan_sebi or chan_dongle, but they don't appear to 
be packaged. Elastix may be easier than Raspbian for this.

Huawei E169 and asterisk worked for me last time I tried.
