When and what to expect from Phase 2

2007-07-31 Thread Dave
 

Hi all,

 

As someone who is holding-off on buying the iPhone in favor of the OpenMoko
Phase 2 release - what can I expect from Phase 2?

I have heard September mentioned for Phase 2 - is this correct and are there
any firm dates? Is the release likely to be pushed back?

What can consumers expect from Phase 2? Will there be more devices other
than the Neo? and if so, are they likely to be cheaper or more expensive
than the Neo?

Thanks!
Dave

I have two cingular 64K smart chip SIMs that won't work in the neo1973

 Both SIMs are about 9-10 months old now - maybe they changed a while back
 while keeping similar markings?  On the back, one says 3G (with a tiny
 c
 after it) and has the numbers 64205G and 3020.  The other also has 3G(c)
 and
 has 64205O (capital o) and 4020.

 I dug up an old SIM (also cingular) that does work (so I know the GSM chip
 and
 SIM socket aren't faulty), but that account is no longer active.

MacOS X users get together!

Hi!

I know there are some MacOS users here. Let's get together and write
down some notes on using Neo1973 with your Macs. I started
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MacOS_X where you can already find some
interesting information and references to other sites.

I know that Linux guys (geeks ;) very often use Macs since it's a nice

since it would be nice and functional ;) I think that after end-user
release there should be some solutions for connecting your Mac and
Neo.

Hello Sudharshan,

Yes I haven't been billed yet. My order id is #2018, ordered 9 July,
around 08:30 CST (Taiwan time). Joachim roh Steiger did confirm that
my order is in the system and that my YES_I_DO email was received
successfully. I was also asking anxiously about this on #openmoko last
night and a couple of theories were that OpenMoko may be having problems
importing the Neo1973 P1s into Taiwan or that my billing address for my
credit card (i.e. it's different from the delivery address) may be
slowing things up - can anyone confirm these theories?

Thanks in advance,

Looking at the Photos of the current version, the processor appears to

Re: [UI/Graphics] Ever heard of graff ?

2007-07-31 Thread Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri
On 7/30/07, Jay Vaughan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 
  Cairo, as suggested, will not be an option in near future, since it
  does 32bpp graphics and the conversion will kill our hardware.
 


 fwiw, its quite feasible to do nice assembly-based BPP conversion on
 ARM and involves a decidedly negligible hit on performance .. don't
 count cairo out of the libpack just yet ..

it's not about the conversion itself, but the data.

16bpp versus 32bpp:
 - opaque images: 2 bytes versus 3 bytes (alignment!)
 - alpha images: 3 bytes (alpha in separate plane) versus 4 bytes
 - rgb * a:  1 arithmetic operation versus 3. This is due the fact
that you can downscale a to 5 bits and then operate rgb (16bits) on a
32bit word, just move 6 bits of G from the pack to the other half-word
and then you can fit the overflow.

Also, in order to look barely good you need to apply dither mask to
images, otherwise you get weird gradients, they become blocky. With
32bpp-16 you need to convert always, while with 16bpp you do at load
time.

For sure quality is not as good, since you lost many bits, but it's
the price of performance... you can try to improve things (like this
dither thing), but not much room is left.

As for counting cairo out, sure not. But use it for specific scope.
EFL does no vector graphics (just line, rectangle and polygon, I'd not
count it as vector graphics lib) and if you have to draw charts,
complex paths, etc... it's the best option.
   However, even UIs being scalable, they're basically described by
pixmaps. It's insane to calculate a gradient on real time just to get
a smooth blend: using a gradient pixmap and maybe using (even smooth)
scaling would look as good, but use less CPU. Same for rounded
corners, you can have a path to describe it, but a smart blit
algorithm would be as fast.

BTW, evas have a cairo backend, so you can mix both if required. Other
backends, like xrender, opengl, fb and directfb are supported as well.

$3000 roaming Iphone/ATT story

2007-07-31 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]

http://www.boingboing.net/2007/07/31/att_iphone_intl_roam.html;

I guess that happens if you dont know what you are really charged for 
when locked into a provider such as ATT.
Even more reason to have an unlocked phone. If you want to unlock the 
Iphone, all you have is a PDA.

It should be clear that the Iphone is a bit dead in the water.
Anyway, this definitely helps to justify the wait for the FIC NEO.

This looks like to me as if you HAVE TO use ATT when in Europe!?
No wonder it is so expensive to roam.
If this is true, the the Iphone is a dead duck for business.

Seemingly the  poor Iphone users cannot negotiate better deals, why 
because there is no competition .. only ATT for the Iphone.

Are you sure this wasn't a certificate issue on your jar file. I had no 
trouble downloading J2ME apps last year using T-Mobile US and my own web 
site. For some of the handsets you needed to hack the root certificate 
in the phone or in the Sprint case download a developer certificate to 
the phone.


I can't see how the SIM would have any effect on this. In principle, it 
can store the root certificate but in my experience the handset 
developers chose not to implement that part of the standards.


I guess I'll find out when I get my own Neo.

No, it was definitely the SIM. Certain handsets with certain SIMs would not
download off our server (They would download the JAD, but not the JAR)--and
the JAR was being blocked, it wasn't a case of it downloading and then
refusing to install because of a bad certificate. 

Changing the SIM would allow it to proceed.

Also, log into Samsung's developer boards and you will find commentary that
other developers were running into the same issue.

Here is a Cingular pay-as-you-go SIM:  73000G3021

Can you tell me the numbers on the chip side of the SIM?
Not the 20 digit ICCID but the 5 digit SKU followed by a letter and then 
the 4 digit Vendor and Version number underneath it.


For example GD cards say
   71234 D
   2202

Re: MacOS X users get together!

I know there are some MacOS users here. Let's get together and write

I know that Linux guys (geeks ;) very often use Macs since it's a

and functional gadget. And I guess many of them would buy Neo1973
since it would be nice and functional ;) I think that after end-user
release there should be some solutions for connecting your Mac and
Neo.


Great! I will contribute as soon as I have my Neo...



Same here. I use a Mac pro for audio work so I can't use Linux as it  
doesn't have the same quality software. I currently have the dev  
environment running in Linux on Parallels desktop.


I have Bluetooth in the PC and I think this is how I'd connect the  
two as I don't like cables. Would be nice to have a sort of easy  
bluetooth activation method. Maybe have a sync option that enables  
bluetooth then disables is after the sync.

Does that SIM work?

It is a Gemalto SIM and to the best of my knowledge is identical to the 
latest cards from Gemalto apart from the rebranding to ATT.


The new ATT branded cards should be marked
   71234 G
   3022

Ah.  The problem was I'd installed a rootfs but not a new kernel, so I
didn't have any modules.  New kernel - access to micro-sd.

   Any hints would be appreciated.
 
  AT+CIMI should return the 15-digit IMSI (International Mobile

  entered before you can read the number.
 
  Its your identity number. Don't reveal it.

 According to  
 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Getting_Started_with_your_Neo1973#Inserting_the_SIM_card_.28optional.29
 the holder needs to be locked. I first didn't know how it locks but
 apparently you do it by slightly pushing the holder direction top
 (opposite of opening it). As soon as I had done that, it worked. I
 could dial a number using gsmd and libgsmd-tool.

 Regards,

 Marc

Oops, pushing it to the top opens the holder and to the bottom locks
the SIM card in place.
Don't want ruin somebody else's Neo ...

 Changing the SIM would allow it to proceed.

 Also, log into Samsung's developer boards and you will find commentary

 other developers were running into the same issue.

I wouldn't put it past any telco to do something like that. I never
encountered it myself on tmobile, but I generally only browse with gprs/edge
and save downloads for wifi or pc.

Hardware Recommendations - Desktop Bluetooth Module

2007-07-31 Thread Jonathon Suggs
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a  Bluetooth module/adapter 
for the desktop ?  Features: Bluetooth 2.0, good support under Ubuntu, 
and also provide most all of the Bluetooth profiles.


I don't mind a dongle, but would think that having an internal card 
would be less likely to get broken...since a dongle would always be 
protruding from the case.  Thoughts, opinions?  What does everyone else use?

Re: [UI/Graphics] Ever heard of graff ?

2007-07-31 Thread Jay Vaughan

it's not about the conversion itself, but the data.



libcairo + librsvg == data galore.


As for counting cairo out, sure not. But use it for specific scope.



Indeed, its a standard in my GUI toolkit at this point .. soon as I  
get a neo in my hands, I'll have a go at getting it rendering a small  
SVG suite as soon as I can ..



   However, even UIs being scalable, they're basically described by
pixmaps. It's insane to calculate a gradient on real time just to get
a smooth blend: using a gradient pixmap and maybe using (even smooth)
scaling would look as good, but use less CPU. Same for rounded
corners, you can have a path to describe it, but a smart blit
algorithm would be as fast.



Its nicer to render vectors to your destination buffer/pix format  
than do pixel processing from a bitmap file format, imho.  The extra  
boot-up time (to render SVG as needed) is a matter of taste, of  
course, but I never count out the idea of a display-list render loop  
until I've tried running it on targetted hardware ..



BTW, evas have a cairo backend, so you can mix both if required. Other
backends, like xrender, opengl, fb and directfb are supported as well.


Be nice to do the SDL dance too, because there are some fantastic SDL  
apps in the world ..

I have a Belkin F8T002 ver 2 USB module that works well. I believe  
they mostly use a standard chip. Just like USB chips are OHCI etc...
