Neo fast charge utility

2008-01-01 Thread rakshat hooja
I just saw this project on the open moko projects page

http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/thunder/

It is a fast charge utility that allows the neo to fast charge with an AC
-USB adaptor that can give a 500 Mil Amp output. Has any member manage to
test it out yet?

Thanks

Re: Neo1973 and Qtopia with GPS application

2008-01-01 Thread andy selby
My image togehter with the kernel uImage can be downloaded from here:

http://www.linuxtogo.org/~goxboxlive/Neo1973/images/

regards gxl

I've got a problem with that image, the contents of my sd card must
have been erased when I flashed the image and when i reupload the
files to it they don't show up on the neo but ssh'ing  shows they are
there.
Trying to mount the sd card says it doesn't recognise vfat as a
filesystem, was the kernel compiled with vfat enabled?
Can the sd card be formatted while in the neo? mkfs.ext3 says
/media/card is not a block special device.
and comes up with this error message when i proceed

mkfs.ext3: Device size reported to be zero.  Invalid partition specified, or
partition table wasn't reread after running fdisk, due to
a modified partition being busy and in use.  You may need to reboot
to re-read your partition table.

Neo faulty?

2008-01-01 Thread Nicolas Linkert
Hi,

I've used the Neo (last revision, with latest OpenMoko or qt images) now
for almost one month. When fully charged, I can use the Neo for several
hours. I often use it only for one hour and then I shut it off
completely. The next day I try to power it on - with no success at all.
I have to charge the device again for some time (30 minutes), take out
the battery, put it in, try again, take out the battery again and so on.
And then - then! - I can finally power it on once again. I fully realize
that it's not the final hardware version, but this behavior of the
device simply cannot be the way it's intended.

Or is this the way your Neo devices operate???

Best regards,
Nick

Yeah, the battery seems to run down even when the device is off completly.
I keep mine plugged in to the usb cable all the time, alternativly you
could pull the battery out whenever you aren't using it.
(hope this is fixed with the GTA02)

The shut down process is not turning off all devices yet. Please see
http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1003
which I will commit soon.

In the meantime, I'm afraid you need to remove and reinsert the
battery to make sure all peripheral devices are powered off.

Hi.

I have made a Qtopia image for the Neo1973. The image is quite same as 
the ones Lorn Potter releases, but mine has added two gps applications.


I have made a couple of screenies here: 
http://www.linuxtogo.org/~goxboxlive/Neo1973/screenshots/RoadGPS.jpg and 
http://www.linuxtogo.org/~goxboxlive/Neo1973/screenshots/Roadmap-1.jpg 
http://www.linuxtogo.org/~goxboxlive/Neo1973/screenshots/Roadmap-1.jpg


To have this running you have to install gllin yourself, i cant include 
that because of the restrictions with distribution.


Get gllin from here: http://3rdparty.downloads.openmoko.org/gllin/ 
http://3rdparty.downloads.openmoko.org/gllin/ and install it.


The image uses Ängstôm 2008 base linux system and suplied with kernel 
2.6.23.1 http://2.6.23.1


How it works.

Just hit Roadmap or RoadGPS under applications. It will start gllin 
automaticly (remember to install it first).
When you are done playing with the gps applications and to save battery 
remember to stop gllin from running by hitting Kill Glin under 
applications.


To get maps for Roadmap read their web site: 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/roadmap/

It seems the alsa audio modules seems to be missing from your image.

Re: Neo1973 and Qtopia with GPS application

2008-01-01 Thread GoXbox Live
Hi, i havent looked at the kernel defconfig, it thought it where a standard
one. I am using the stock one in OE repo.
Is there any diffrents in angstrom and openmoko kernel defconfig, shouldnt
be that?

About
the vfat module i have no idea, i havent checked  if my sd card is
viewable or not, but as long as you can access it from shh
you should also be able to acess it from Qtopia. Check your
/opt/Qtopa/etc/default/Storage.conf and view the settings.

Hi Gilles,
Gilles Casse pisze:
GutenFlash is a RSVP text reader: for example, it displays a text one 
word at a time in large font on the screen.


Any chances to implement speech syntethiser to read the text? I think 
there's a one on OpenEmbedded.

Any ideas?
