Want to get another freerunner with some cheap deal
Hi, I have lost my FR a week back. So, I have now switched to a _usual_ phone. Since then I have started to feel that I should continue phone functions on this _usual_ phone as that can allow me to experiment on FR. So, I want to buy another FR as cheap as possible (2nd hand is not an issue). Buzz/Bass fixes won't really make a difference as I won't be using it for a phonebut they are welcome anyways :) I am in India (which is why idasystems is also in the To list).

[SHR-U] process priority
I just noticed that framework is running with niceness 0 (while enlightenment is running with -10). Can this be the reason that sometimes it takes a long time for calls to respond? (one can easily observe UI freezes on litephone when disconnecting a call).

Yes, I've updated the firmware. The missed calls are because I can't answer them. I hit answer and the phone keeps ringing. The positive side is that I know who called and can call back.

Re: Fwd: buzzfix in India
A lot of thanks to IDA Systems (Rakshat and Zoheb) as Vibhav and I finally get the buzz fix done. And alongwith that our phones got blessed with the 1024 fix as well :D. Sorry for no pics of the naked moko being fixed. Regarding the fixes: Buzz fix: I (recepients of my calls) haven't been observing lots of buzz fix anyways (maybe due to my provider's freq range); so I don't know how much has the fix saved the day. One thing is for sure that the call quality hasn't degraded. 1024 fix: I am on SHR-U so avoiding deep sleep was just 1 line of config. Anyways, after the fix I have removed that line and haven't yet missed even a single call. So, I assume that the modem is indeed going to deep sleep without losing registration (Is there a better way to test it???). I haven't been able to check increase in battery life (today my phone would get zero juicelets see how long can it sustain) There is a small side effect...though I am unsure if it due to the h/w mods (but that I observe the issue just after the phone is fixed seems like to big a coincidence). If I let the phone go to auto-suspend (after being idle), and then bring it back to life by pressing power button then it goes back to sleep immediately after waking up. The second power button press resumes it normally. I don't observe this if I manually make it go to suspend or if it comes out of suspend due to call. --Vikas PS: BTW, we got the buzz fix in roughly this [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0EJ0z3prPXM/SqPZg8Zy1gI/Ars/0wRUtSvmFfg/s400/attachment-0001.jpeg] way ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Things are moving a little slow out here, so I think I should at least start trying to look for components. Hi All, Zoheb from IDA systems is in Delhi these days and the Delhi FR owners (basically just Vibhav and me :) are going to get our phones fixed on Wednesday. We are going for buzz fix and 1024. I tried to look for component for 1024 but 22uF-0805-ceramic capacitor was nowhere to be found. So, I have got some(50) 10uF-0805-ceramic caps instead and we are going for the fix described in this [1] image ref in [2].

Re: Fwd: buzzfix in India
Do you pplan it on any particular date? IMHO it is worth to put it into CU, but need date details also. We haven't yet decided on the dates. In fact we were trying to figure out if we can do #1024 and bass fix as well alongwith buzz fix. I have been neck-deep in work this week and i think same would be true for the next week. After that I plan to settle for the plan (schematics, drawing, components, etc) for #1024 and bass fix (unless someone else does it earlier). Then we would call for the FR from outside Delhi (I know only 2 up till now...chetan and alok...both, i guess, in bangalore) and then get them for fix. I thought sending the FRs is a far bigger problem than actually getting it down to the shop and get it fixed. Of course, this counts in for CU only when things solidify a bit more @Rakshat: how many FRs do we have in India? do you expect anyone else who _might_ not be following the list? --Vikas ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Fwd: buzzfix in India
On a related note, the fix for #1024 and the bass boost as well as the shorting of the erroneous capacitor[1] (if present) would be a welcome addition to the Buzz fix. It seems a reasonable amount of effort to send the phone and it would make sense to do as much as possible on this one trip. Could someone with hardware skills explain the various fixes to the guy who is doing the fixes ? I am no hardware guy, in fact I haven't even opened up my phone beyond the battery case yet...not that I see some risk...just that I don't see any reason to do that. Anyways, for bass fix there is a wiki page (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GTA02_bass_fix) which suggests more that one way of fixing the issue with pros and cons For bug#1024, the only nice link I got was http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/hardware/2009-May/001192.html I think the descriptions are pretty well written but then thats my perspective who hasn't ever used a solder iron.

Re: Fwd: buzzfix in India
Hi All, We are planning a buzz fix for FRs in India. As Rakshat has already pointed out, the guy who would do the buzz fix is placed at Delhi. IDA systems would be bearing the cost of buzz fix while we need to take care of sending in the devices and take it back. People in Delhi itself can of course bump in personally. I already know of Vibhav and Gora who are in Delhi and would be interested. Please use this thread to show your preference and if you be shipping or coming in personally. We are still to figure out a date for this. The buzz fix would be done at: Baig Electronics K-33 Batla House, near Mosque Khalilullah Jamia Nagar okhla 011-26984151 9810134572 (although I couldn't figure out the exact address but Mosque Khalilullah is at http://wikimapia.org/587273/Masjid-Khalilullah...so reaching there shouldn't be very hard :) quote from Rakshat's first mail IDA Systems (with support from Openmoko) will cover the actual costs of the buzz fix procedure and the components. Shipping costs (to and back from) Delhi, where the contracter who will undertake the Buzz Fix is based, will have to be borne by the customer (We will work with you to get good and easy shipping options and also give a free extra Battery as a return gift with each Freerunner sent for the Buzz Fix to cover costs) /quote I am unsure how would that work out but I guess Rakshat can jump in here. While I don't know about postage options, I think the package can still be sent to one of us (users) and we would take all the FRs to the guy at the same time.

Re: New rotate version
This seems pretty stable than the previous one. The brightness effect is nice, but the event, apparently, is hitting even if the phone is moved a little (i was trying to type a message). The brightness thing started to feel too much pain, so I killed the rotate instance (from a separated ssh session). Unfortunately, the program had thought that I am rotating and hence had brightness set to 0 when I killed it. So, I was left with a switched off screen :). So, 2 cents from my side (1) The brightness effect (and rotation) should be applied only we are switching orientation (I am not too sure if accels would give that data directlybut keeping a state can be a workaround...it would give some false positives and negative, but would have a better output) (2) We might like to put a close program handler which would try to reset the brightness to the last read brightness value (if the rotation was in progress while the program was closed) --Vikas On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 12:10 AM, Rui Miguel Silva Seabra [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: On Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 06:15:58PM +0100, Rui Miguel Silva Seabra wrote: On Mon, Oct 13, 2008 at 10:26:48PM +0200, Oscar Casamitjana wrote: screenfp = fopen (/sys/class/backlight/pcf50633-bl/brightness,w); Excellent idea, I'll implement it in my newRotate and make a new release.

Re: import/export sms from qtopia
Ahhbut that seems to be too late for me. I already have information on my current image. I was wondering if I could somehow extract the info from the backup and put it into the current one. I just did this on my install, and it was as simple as copying my backup back to the phone. BTW, I think all the messages (including sent and received) are stored under qtmail folder (within the home directory) as different text files. But just copying those didn't help.

I always thought boot loaders just load the kernel image, pass it some parameters and start executing them. Indeed, that's exactly what it does. It loads the kernel image into RAM, puts some parameters and a pointer to the ATAGS (which include stuff the kernel command-line) into registers and jumps to the start of the image. See here for details: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/booting.php I had done this helloworld kind of thing with grub during college...but then maybe grub is advanced. What puzzles me is how exactly? Note that the Freerunner doesn't have a BIOS. When you did it on x86 you probably used the BIOS' printing routines. If you want to do it on the FR you'll have to do your own font blitting etc. If you have a debug board you could print it to a serial port. You can then also use JTAG to debug your code and figure out what is going on. If you don't have the debug board, I guess you could easily enough blink out hello world in morse code through an LED or by turning on and off the backlight or something. It might also be useful to play with it in qemu, just pass in your binary with the -kernel option, you can connect gdb to it and step through line by line (see the qemu documentation for how to do this). As to how to actually do it, it's a bit of a pain. You'll probably need to write a little ARM assembler stub entry point to setup a stack and call your C code. Although you might be able to just reuse u-boots stack, I guess. Then you'll need to compile your code with - nostdlib and link it in a way that ensures your assembler code is at the start of the image, you might need to investigate custom linker scripts for this, I can't remember. You can then use something like objcopy -O binary mycode.elf mycode.bin to pull the raw code out of the elf file the linker generated, so that you can give it to u-boot. Remember also that you won't have any standard library, so you'll have to write every function you want to use yourself (or use something like the OSKit C library) and if you code has a bug it's just going to hang or reset the CPU, unless you define your own error handling code.
