Hi
yes  have the same problem while trying to convert the France.
I am wondering if it is not a matter of size...france and germany does quite
the same size.
I don't speak about europ.osm, i think your are to optimistic! :)
But yes please someone help us on this error
Error opening file!
And by the way it is not a matter of not being able to open the file because

cat france.osm works for me.

thanks!

Hello, there (-=
 
  When is the next and more powerful openmoko (capable of seamless 3D

As soon as you design it? I've heard that some people are looking at
taking the openmoko core project and trying to apply it to better
hardware. There were some offers to use production facilities and such,
but I wouldn't hold my breath.

But it would be nice.

 yes, see here:

You can also mount NFS for /opt with qtopia directory on your PC and avoid 
transfering filies. Or you can use SSHFS to mount Freerunner's filesystem on 
your PC.

For rebooting - you can start/stop just qtopia:

source /opt/qtmoko/qpe.env

Hi Sriranjan,

as far as i know, openmoko is no longer working on phones.

Unfortunately the freedom loving people are doomed to either work on
anti-vendor-ports (such as HTC devices etc.) or live with one of the
semi-free alternatives (Palm Pre, Nokia N900). Right now there is no 
device rivaling the FreeRunner's openness, nothing comes close.

I don't see that changing soon.

Tried that, but it's too small . . . Is there a microcom? (-=

Actually, it works like a dream! I plugged my USB- serial adapter from
my FR to an IBM server serial port, ran picocom and was able to log in.
Only problem: The IBM expects the terminal to 80 char X 24 lines and the
terminal on the FR is only 39 char X 24 lines.

Guess I'll see how bad this limit really is when I NEED to use this.

You have 32bit system and you need to enable largefile support while building
osm2mcmap - add these defines while building:

CFLAGS=`getconf LFS_CFLAGS` ./configure
(usually expands to -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64)

This will help with opening the file - but still the conversion will fail 
(somewhere
around 7%) due to small address-space in 32bit mode (osm2mcmap loads the whole 
file
into memory...)


You can successfully convert smaller regions though - just download precomputed
boundary extract from 
http://www.gps-routes.info/index.php?name=Downloadsd_op=viewdownloadcid=3
and then use with -bi option. (Still won't work for germany.osm - it is too 
large
to fit into memory space)

I wouldn't necessarily color all ports of FOSS as anti-vendor. In fact
don't they demonstrate the versatility and adaptability of FOSS in
relation to all hardware, especially hardware that isn't open? That's a
good thing if the goal is to strive towards choice for consumers.
Granted it's not the ideal situation but it is a step in the right
direction.
 
 I don't see that changing soon.
 

Call me a glass half-full person but I have to disagree with you here.
The fact that more ARM based mobile devices are becoming ubiquitous is
going to drive prices down and will also drive innovation and quality up
right? That's a good thing in my book, just as MS-DOS and Windows drove
down the cost of hardware in the PC field. I do not however use or
endorse Microsoft products but I do give them credit for helping to
accelerate hardware development and make it more affordable.

I'm not a lawyer and I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy but the
international maze of patent and trade agreements must cost an absolute
fortune to feed. It's ironic in a way, since the whole concept behind
patents is to protect the inventor and allow them to recoup RD costs.
It certainly wasn't envisioned as a means to create an unlimited cash
cow that stifles innovation by threat of lawsuits which lead to
bankruptcy. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's the sort of thing people
like us that champion openness argue against right?

The only reason why FOSS exists and will continue to exist is because
there's nobody to bankrupt or buy out. We already know FOSS pays in
spades just ask Google, IBM, Redhat etc. So why haven't the hardware
manufacturers figured this out yet? I think they've come to the
conclusion that the status quo suits them just fine.

Too bad, it's stories like this one that illustrate what open hardware
can accomplish that inspire me:

http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/stories/vietnam804/video/video_index.html

Industrial collusion can be dangerous; it isn't always a bad thing
provided it's monitored, sanctioned, and most of all open. That story
is inspiring mainly due to it's human interest aspect. I'd like to see
this sort of collusion in industry especially in aspects that affect
all of us like pollution, food production, medicine etc. It's still
baffling to me that industry just doesn't get it yet.

there are 2 projects working on a future open phone.

GTA02-core
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gta02-core
http://gta02-core-news.blogspot.com/
last thing i heard on the mailing list is that they plan to make a small number 
(something like 20), and were collecting names of people who wanted to buy them 
(costing more, than a freerunner, and with a low chance of being fully 
functional). basically good for devs.

Openmoko Beagle Hybrid
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Openmoko_Beagle_Hybrid
http://www.handheld-linux.com/wiki.php?page=Openmoko%20Beagle
A board to attach a beagleboard to an openmoko phone. its not actually a 
functioning phone, but lets you design a software stack for a future openmoko 
type phone, with much faster hardware.

note: i am not deeply involved, so i speak with no authority, but this is how i 
see it:

the difficulty in making a working phone is the economies of scale. i think 
there were about 10k freerunners made, which is maybe of the order of 2 million 
dollar/euro. even then you can't compete with specs on mainstream phones. so 
you need someone willing to put up a lot of money to get going.

hopefully the costs of hardware will continue to fall. opensource hardware is 
growing. if there are people working on designs, then all it takes is an 
investor and or benevolent, and it will be go again.  it would be nice if 
someone could get an openphone foundation going to focus the effort.

The term anti-vendor port initially struck me as a little odd, as well,
but now I think that Mickey is using a fairly strict definition of anti-,
meaning contrary to--with anti-vendor meaning contrary to the vendor
or (more clearly) contrary to the wishes or actions of the vendor.
