My unlocked Nokia E65 also allows this.

OWFS on $WRT-router

2008-02-03 Thread Chris

Hi,

I tried this: http://owfs.sourceforge.net/WRT54G.html and it doesn't 
work for me.


It looks really weird how the author connected the DS2480B, which runs 
at 5V directly to the UART, which provides only 3.3V. I think this would 
need some level-shifting.
The datasheet also says the POL-Pin (Pin6) has to be tied to +5V if 
directly connected to the UART.


I made a small schematic with some resistors as level shifters: 
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/4611/ds2480bwrtmp0.png but I don't 
think I like it. It's said that doing level shifting is very power hungry.


Any better ideas?

Re: New wiki page - Problems of typical "closed" phones

2008-02-03 Thread Schmidt András

Sorry, I have updated that.

AFAIK:
Here (in Hungary) it is illegal to unlock your phone. Certainly you can 
buy unlocked phone for a higher price, but unlocking already locked ones 
(by "experts") is illegal. There are many people earning their money 
from this illegal activity though...

Hello~

I have two simple questions about Openmoko develop.

Is it correct to transfer our projects ( like GPS ) from PC to
Openmoko by dfu ? and how? scp?
If all you want is to download and install the file from the project 
repository, the cool solution may be to type wget on OpenMoko console:


wget 
http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/download.php/118/mokash_0.2-r0_armv4t.ipk


and it downloads file directly into the phone. Of course, it is easier 
to do this in the remote ssh console, not directly on the phone. Surely 
the naming service must be set up on the phone or (dirty approach) edit 
/etc/hosts .


To upload my own ipk's, I use scp without problems:

scp gpv_0.1_armv4t.ipk [EMAIL PROTECTED]:gpv2.ipk

This should work if the ssh works.

Hey, i think that you are a bit confused, asi've understood the

Neo 1973 -> the phone, gta01 or gta02, is always the neo 1973
gta01xxx  -> first version of the phone for devs
gta02xxx  -> second version of the phone that has to be released
soon (oh we are waiting for it... :D)
FreeRunner  -> another name to refer to the gta02xxx just to have a
friendly name instead of GTA02

Is it right?


yes.

also all the drivers got fixed just recently to reflect that original
naming scheme.

Neo1973 is a class of devices, not only one specific model.
gta01 and gta02 are models.
FreeRunner a synonym for gta02 release version

IIRC MediaWiki allows you to use the following as the content of a page:

#REDIRECT [[Freerunner newpage]]

So when you want to redirect "GTA02 newpage" to "Freerunner newpage", you
can use that without breaking any links.

Yes, I think you can move ahead with those changes.
Let's see what others are saying...


It seems to me there is now a clear structure

1) Neo1973 has internal codename (GTA01xxx)
2) Freerunner has internal codename (GTA02xxx)


That is correct.


Is there someone overlooking wiki structure?


We just hired a full time editor for the wiki. Her name is Brenda and  
she will start working after Chinese New Year (mid February). She has  
many years experience publishing and writing technical books.
I'd say give her a few weeks to familiarize herself with the whole  
thing, then she will slowly start to 'edit' the wiki by cleaning up  
broken links, rearranging/grouping content, maybe doing some  
translations into Chinese, etc.
If you like please get back to me around mid-February so I can  
introduce you to Brenda (she doesn't have an openmoko e-mail account  
yet).

We are very determined to get the wiki into better shape.
Brenda will help as an editor.
We also try to improve things on the server. The wiki version we are  
using needs to be updated and improved. Search is abysmal. The theme  
doesn't look good. etc.
But we have great content, and we will push more internal content into  
the wiki as well.


Hope this helps, thanks a lot for your initiative!
Feel free to make the changes you suggested, at least from my  
perspective it sounds good.
