Re: Anyone know a store that sells FreeRunner accs in the US
> If somebody wants to start a Wiki page and vote on accessories that > you all want to buy, I was always wondering, why openmoko dont ship an adapter like this[1], instead of the big (hard to carry) cable. I would like to see an adapter a bit longer, and have a flexible part in it, like 1 cm long. That way it wouldnt stress the freerunner connection inside of Freerunner. What I would really *love* to have is an adapter, with two output, one for the charging, and one for plugging usb device in it (3g dongle, pendrive, printer, etc, etc)[2].

And if driving through an "urban canyon", similar track errors can occur. Ive wanted a small external powered antenna for some time to improve this.

For it to take >2min I need heavy urban canyoning, being indoors or in a > vehicle, or an unusually poor constellation. Let me cite the site that looks to be authoritive enough [1]: "The navigation message is a continuous 50 bits/second data stream modulated onto the carrier signal of every satellite. It is a telemetry message, and the data is transmitted in logical units called frames. For GPS a frame is 1500 bits long, so takes 30 seconds to be transmitted. Every satellite begins to transmit a frame precisely on the minute and half minute, according to its own clock. Each frame is divided into five subframes, each 300 bits long. Subframes 1, 2 and 3 contain the high accuracy ephemeris and clock offset data. The "data content" (which I'll define later) of these three subframes is the same for a given satellite for consecutive frames for periods lasting as long as two hours. New subframe 1, 2 and 3 data sets usually begin to be transmitted precisely on the hour (see description of uploads and cutovers below). Subframe 1 contains second degree polynomial coefficients used to calculate the satellite clock offset. Subframes 2 and 3 contain orbital parameters. Subframes 4 and 5 are "subcommutated, which means that consecutive subframes have different "data content". This data does repeat, but 25 consecutive frames of subframe 4 and 5 data must be collected before the receiver has all of the unique "data content" being transmitted by the satellite. A satellite transmits the same "data content" in subframes 4 and 5 until it is next uploaded, or usually for about 24 hours. Subframes 4 and 5 contain the almanac data and some related health and configuration data." 25 * 0.5 min = 12.5 min . I assume this gives a good estimate of TTFF If you already have almanac (which is the usual case as almanac is usually valid for months), you'll get a fix in a little more than 30 seconds (time required to receive ephemeris from visible sattelite).

Lots of hardware drivers are not needed by all pc's (or phones, for that matter) or are not needed all the time. To keep the size of the kernel binary small and to limit memory usage, these drivers are not compiled into the kernel, but rather as 'modules'. Usually, modules are loaded into memory if and when needed by the kernel. For our freerunners, this probably means that things like wifi and bluetooth are modules, which are not always active and thus not always loaded in memory. Generally, things like ati video drivers, ide drive drivers and braille tty drivers are not compiled and included at all, since that would make no sense. > *Is modules (already) included the image? Not in the kernel image, but they are included in the root image. > *Why is there a separate file called modules? Why not include it in the image? It _is_ included in the root image, as it lives in the root filesystem in /lib/modules. The thing is: if you decide to use that kernel but _not_ use that root filesystem (because you'd like to build your own, for example, or you just want to upgrade your kernel and _not_ your filesystem) you'll have to untar the corresponding modules into your own filesystem. > *Is modules a standard Linux "thing"?

Hi Phil, i guess this is feature of udev - it creates device nodes depending on available device drivers. I dont know how much could be done to speed it up. Maybe devtmpfs [1] could be interesting.
