simultaneous multiple audio sources and destinations

2009-02-27 Thread C R McClenaghan
All,

I'm aware of at least one phone(i) where the audio capability on the  
device is prioritized to voice calls and the audio runs as a singleton  
process such that you cannot have the option to  have simultaneous  
voice call and media player sound routed to headset or switch between  
them.

Is this the case with Freerunner? Does anyone know about other devices  
and whether they are similarly restricted or not - Symbian,  
Blackberry, Android, etc.?

I am aware of PJSIP and it's local bridge capability as a potential  
example of what I'd like to do - sort of a peer to peer conference  
application with local media server rather than network based.

Thoughts or comments welcomed.

Chris

No matter which cable I used, the same problem at Nor boot, but all  
the cables worked fine for USB Networking once distribution was booted.

All,

Seems my problem may be VMWare Fusion. My host for Openmoko work is  
Ubuntu (currently 8.10) as a vm on my MacBook Pro running Leopard  
10.5.6. Returning to the pure Leopard environment I'm able to use  
OpenMoko Flasher and it dfu-util to access the USB port. I'm guessing  
either something in Ubuntu 8.10 and/or VMWare is causing the DFU  
capability to be corrupted and therefore not work, although as late as  
December it seemed to work just fine.

So, I've upgrade both my distributions and bootloader and seem to have  
no problem at this point other than the slowness of flashing.

Thanks to all who read this far,

Chris

after Qi no USB in Nor questions

2009-02-16 Thread C R McClenaghan
All,

I have a Neo Freerunner GTA02V5 to which I apparently flashed Qi some  
weeks ago. I'm not sure which version of FSO is flashed to memory, but  
I think it is milestone 3. In installing Qi, I think I may have been  
trying to recover from modifications made to uboot for Debian and  
probably ran the devirginator process to flash uboot before I went  
ahead and flashed Qi. I no longer recall why I did either.

And now, I'm a little confused as to how to proceed as I can no longer  
flash with dfu-util. When I boot to Nor and plug in the USB cable, I  
get a series of errors on my host and cannot use dfu-util. The errors  
are these:

[   87.928631] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and  
address 3
[   88.540254] usb 1-1: unable to read config index 0 descriptor/ 
start: -71
[   88.540437] usb 1-1: chopping to 0 config(s)
[   88.695904] usb 1-1: string descriptor 0 read error: -71
[   88.698093] usb 1-1: string descriptor 0 read error: -71

address 5
[   90.420975] usb 1-1: invalid descriptor for config index 1: type =  
0x2, length = 0
[   90.421000] usb 1-1: can't read configurations, error -22
[   90.641355] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and  
address 6
[   90.676829] usb 1-1: invalid descriptor for config index 1: type =  
0x2, length = 0
[   90.676850] usb 1-1: can't read configurations, error -22
[   90.900242] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and  
address 7
[   90.939088] usb 1-1: invalid descriptor for config index 1: type =

[   90.940610] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

This occurs whether the Freerunner is attached to the host first or not.

Note: when booted into installed image, USB networking is fine and the  
above errors do not occur. Is this a host side problem or Neo  
Freerunner problem?

I notice in the Qi documentation that there is no dfu-util support.  
Would that effect dfu-util in Nor?

When I do attempt to boot into Nand, I end up with a Nor boot menu  
that is the same as when I boot into Nor - apparently either why the  
AUX/Power button are selected I boot to Nor. Is that correct behavior  
with Qi?

BTW - my Nor boot menu seems slightly different than what I see on the  
wiki - rather than a Reset option in the fifth position I have Reboot.

Are there any log or configuration files I should post to help  
diagnosis?

I would like to be able to upgrade the release in memory or for that  
matter Qi - which I think I'm now blocked from doing.

Is there an alternative to the "devirginator" process to restore the  
Freerunner to "factory" state?

Thanks,

Chris

Yes, here's the most complete set of messages from dmesg. I have not  
noticed any difference in the order which the steps are taken to turn  
on the device and boot to NOR and to plug in the cable.

I wonder if I've got the right cable, but by process of elimination it  
seems to be the "one". The other cable I have is for a blackberry, but  
I get the same result. Note - this seems to be a dfu-util problem, I  
am able to connect with neocon.

flashing Neo Freerunner problems

2009-02-09 Thread C R McClenaghan
All,

I had set my Neo aside for a few weeks and on returning to it I'm  
unable to flash a new kernel or root file system.

Of course I was previously able to flash. The most recent changes I  
can recall involve restoring the Nand uboot as I had installed debian  
and wanted to undo the changes to allow that to work. I cannot recall  
the exact steps taken to accomplish that, but I believe it was  
nominally successful and I installed FSO milestone 3. There have been  
some changes to my host envrionment - MAC OS X with VMWare, but I'm  
using the same Ubuntu 8.10 VM as was used to install the FSO ms 3. I  
did create a CentOS 5.2 vm and have the same problem flashing there as  
well.

When I run "dfu-util -l" while at the NOR menu there are no listed usb  
devices. When I boot the NEO into FSO, I am able to connect via USB  
networking.

I'm kind of stumped, and admit it might be something simple that I'm  
forgetting, but I have not found anything in the wiki to solve this  
problem or to jog my memory.

I do have a debug board and am prepared to go that route, but I've not  
satisfied myself that it clearly the NEO versus my host environment.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

I think it is more that there is only one codec in the beta image -  
Ogg-Vorbis.

If you join the forum then you can follow this link -

Re: Android rootfs image?

2008-11-25 Thread C R McClenaghan
All,

I am not an official spokes person for Koolu, but I had a chance to  
speak with Jon "Maddog" Hall (self described Chief Advocate for  
Openmoko and in the employ of Koolu) at the Open Mobile Summit last  
week in San Francisco, CA. He indicated that Koolu and Sean were  
working "together". Further, although I can not recall his exact  
phrasing, but as he's an open source advocate, I'm quite confidant  
that sources will be made available to the community by Koolu. How  
else will the source be made "international"?

Perhaps someone from Koolu could set expectations for a release date  
and source code availability?

Does anyone know how to start X as a non root user without using a  
display manager. My attempts to simply add --chuid  option  
to start-stop-daemon result in the error message - "X: user not  
authorized to run the X server, aborting". If I login using a usb  
keyboard an issue startxfce from the shell there isn't any problem.

Thoughts?

Sebastian,

Having started it from the application menu (at first was missing  
python-gtk2) I see only GSM and WiFI icons - no batery, GPS or BT?  
What else do I need to do to get all?

Re: Alpha 2 Release of Accelerometer-based Gestures, and Screen Orientation

2008-08-14 Thread C R McClenaghan
Bravo - coolest "app" to date. I've installed on FSO MS2 with updates  
for dependencies.

For me not only is the keyboard having difficulty but other screen  
touches in the two new landscape modes are not always calibrated  
correctly.

Now I'll have to read the rest of the documentation to see how to  
connect the gestures to an action.

Re: GPRS working (somewhat) with T-Mobile and Freerunner

2008-08-11 Thread C R McClenaghan
There have now been several posts related to the successful use of  
GPRS on one or more of the software platforms - OM 200*.* and FSO -  
but not much discussion of how to multiplex voice and data calls. The  
FSO platform through it's mdbus/dbus interface seems to accomplish  
this. [1] below describes how to do so with a prior release of ASU. Is  
the multiplexer referenced in [1] - gsm0710muxd - now part of OM  
2008.8 and should the direct use of /dev/ttySAC0 be avoided? Is the  
multiplexer referenced in [1] and apparently running on FSO the means  
by which data and voice are multiplexed in FSO? In FSO, if gsm0710muxd  
is the running daemon, what is the role of gsmd? Is gsmd active during  
voice calls only? Finally, with FSO and the mdbus/dbus interface , how  
can I set other connection parameters - for example, speed, timeouts,  
reconnect?

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Oh, yea - how can either a dund or pand connection event trigger gprs  
for laptop tethering?

Although not measured, I've confirmed that the iGo systems - Juice and  
car charger - with the A32 tip will charge the Neo Freerunner. At one

Re: GPRS for FSO Milestone 2

2008-08-07 Thread C R McClenaghan
I've been away from home since this thread began. I tried to learn in  
the meantime a little bit about the mdbus *PDP* per Mickey's  
suggestion, but I'm not there yet. What I have working seems to allow  
multiplexing of data and voice through gsm multiplexor, however more  
than 2 "calls" of either type seems to kill and further calling and  
requires a reboot. I have been able to hold a gprs data connection for  
over 4 hours. It did not fail at the end, I moved on to another task  
requiring a reboot. I'll post my interim method tomorrow.

In the meantime, does anyone else experience gsm instability with FSO  
MS2?

general question about similarities and differences of usb and bluetooth networking

2008-08-05 Thread C R McClenaghan
All,

I've been taking it easy with the FSO Milestone 2 image - nice piece  
of work, not as fully functional as 2007.2, but appears to me more  
stable and intuitive. I don't think the questions below are unique to  
this environment, but that's what I'm using on my Neo Freerunner.

When I connect with USB Networking to my Ubuntu 8.04 host, it is  
sufficient to simply set up the via ifconfig on both systems the  
connection, to place the DNS server used by the Ubuntu host in the / 
etc/resolv.conf of the Neo Freerunner and I can reach what ever  
network my Ubuntu host is attached to - in this case the home network  
and the old dub-dub-dub.

Doing what appears to be the same as UDB Networking, except using  
pand, I setup the Ubuntu host as a "listener" with the "role NAP", put  
the Neo Freerunner in the client role, assign ip addresses with  
ifconfig, setup /etc/resolv.conf as before but all I can ping from the  
Neo Freerunner is the Ubuntu host. In fact I cannot even ping the DNS  
server. Note, I have shutdown USB networking and only the loopback  
interface is active. I've tried adding a default route on the Neo  
Freerunner and still can only ping the Ubuntu host. I've added iptable  
magic to no effect either. Note, the latter two steps were not  
required with USB networking.

Here's my question: what's the same and what's different about USB  
networking and Bluetooth PAN networking? Of course, the follow on, is  
how to get a shared connection through the Ubuntu host with bluetooth  
with the understanding achieved from the answer to the first question.

Thanks,

Chris

GPRS for FSO Milestone 2

2008-08-02 Thread C R McClenaghan
I've been able to hack together the necessary ppp scripts to get GPRS  
working on FSO Milestone 2 release. This is for a Freerunner, if it  
matters.


I stole liberally from 
http://freeyourphone.de/portal_v1/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=295&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&sid=dda5c6cbf5850182c786488123f056ce

and made couple of tweaks. Basically, I'm just using the following  
files from the tar file referenced at the above link - gprs, gprs- 
connect-chat, gprs-disconnect-chat, gprson, gprsoff. Most of the  
instructions at the above link can be ignored as the work of  
multiplexing call and data traffic is part of FSO framework (as I  
understand it). Just make sure you put each of the above files in the  
correct locations as indicated. The missing piece is to simply use the  
shell scripts gprson and gprsoff. The former has the dbus request to  
get a MUX'd channel from gsm daemon (gsm0710muxd sp?).


I'll post something to the wiki if there's sufficient interest.

Re: Alternative stylus - Group Buy

Steven,

Check this link out:

There do appear to be Canadian and other international outlets as well.

As far as your offer goes, I'll take one as well.

Re: Influence of WiFi on GPS readings (200m error)

2008-07-21 Thread C R McClenaghan
I'm not sure where the fault lies, but with tangogps, I seem to get a  
scatter plot displayed for my position. Initially the fix seems  
accurate, then it starts to wander, although I may not be. If I am  
moving, the trial doesn't seem to follow the route I've taken. I think  
it may be tangogps, but I thought I'd try using my garmin bluetooth in  
a "side by side" kind of test to see whether it is tangogps or the gps  
radio.

Re: Import Contacts

2008-07-20 Thread C R McClenaghan
When I list the commands on the FR it shows openmoko-contacts, but  
when I opkg install openmoko-contacts2, it tells me I'm up to date.  
I'm using the 2007.2 build of 7/18, not ASU or qtopia. I'll do some  
digging around to see if dbus is active or other stuff before I try it  
again. I assume you meant dbus when you said daemon in your other reply.

Sounds like you need the commitment sooner than later. I am able to

Let me know where to be and when to be there.

Re: Car charger to GTA02

2008-07-20 Thread C R McClenaghan
Steve,

I'm either crazy or loosing my mind. I was sure that the FR was  
charging with the iGO and the A32 (Rev 1, subscript T) tip. I went to  
by another tip and got a A32 (Rev 2, subscript E) and while the FR  
recognized a connection (the usb symbol showed) it did not charge. I  
retired the other tip and same thing - usb symbol but no charge. I  
checked battery status with apm and it reported "off line" when the  
iGO was connected.

Which tip are you using? Did I blow something? The USB charge and wall  
charger both work, so I'm questioning now whether I ever really saw my  
FR charging, maybe just saw the usb icon and assumed it was.

Re: GPS

2008-07-14 Thread C R McClenaghan
Here are my results of pumping NMEA data from the FreeRunner to  
another GPS client and pumping NMEA data from another GPS device to  
the Freerunner.

FR -> GPSy (Mac OS X client)  - could not get a fix on NMEA data
Garmin 10 -> FR - tangoGPS worked flawlessly

Apparently, agpsui reads directly from /dev/ttySAC1 even when gpsd is  
running. Couldn't get agpsui to "see" the Garmin 10 data. Also, GPSy  
worked flawlessly with Garmin 10 data.

As near as I can tell, the two data streams are very different in  
terms of GPS data and information. I'm not knowledgeable enough to say  
what the difference is, except the FR data is much more terse/brief  
(shorter length of each line of data).

What this experiment tells me is that data coming from the FR GPS chip  
either directly or via gpsd is does not contain enough information for  
a fix. What software exists between gpsd and/or /dev/ttySAC, if any,  
may be responsile or the GSP chip itself is not getting what it needs  
from the antenna.

Thanks for this, I also found how to go the other direction on the  
wiki. Right now I have the AGPS application reading data from the  
Garmin. Three minutes have passed and no fix yet. Will try Tango and  
then reverse the scenario for the Palm TX.

Re: GPS

2008-07-14 Thread C R McClenaghan
A refinement on the thought below - how to pipe the NMEA data to a  
bluetooth serial port so I can connect my Palm TX and run its mapping  
off the FR GPS chip data.

If anyone could provide pointers on setting up bluetooth serial  
connections to/from the FR I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Re: GPS

2008-07-14 Thread C R McClenaghan
What is meant by "cold start"? Is this simply a power off and power  
back on? Or is it the power cycle and no previous fix data for current  
location? With other GPS devices, until that first location fix was  
achieved, nothing happened, but once achieved and no significant  
change in geography, then a fix could be achieved in less than a few  
minutes. Given that most of these devices are being received in a  
location different than where ever the device may have previously  
gotten a fix, my thought is part of the problem is getting that first  
current location fix.

The GPS performance of my Freerunner is also much worse than
the GPS performance of my neo1973.   I've done side-by-side tests of  
the

two units many times.   My neo1973 gets a good fix in 2 to 3 minutes
after a completely cold start; it's very reliable.   My Freerunner
initially was getting a fix after 7 or 8 minutes.   For the last few
days it has not been able to get a fix at all.

Ken Young

I can confirm that, too.
The 1973 gets a cold start fix in less than 2 minutes.

Re: GPS

2008-07-14 Thread C R McClenaghan
This will be my 3rd GPS device in ~5 years. The first two - a NAVMAN  
from New Zealand and a Garmin - always had exceedingly long cold  
starts (i.e. turn the device off, fly >1500 km, turn device on), on  
the order of 10 minutes.

I still have the Garmin in working condition, it is the Garmin 10, a  
bluetooth model. If some one could help me with the FR bluetooth, and  
the GSP applications, I could connect to FR "gps" stack to the Garmin  
to isolate them from the on board chip. This would, of course. assume  
that the bluetooth stack didn't cloud any issue.

Thoughts, how-tos?

USB Networking - Freerunner & Mac OS X 10.5.4

2008-07-12 Thread C R McClenaghan
I'm having trouble getting USB networking to work on my new Neo  
Freerunner. Under Mac OS X 10.5.4 I'm getting:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.200 port 22: Cannot allocate memory

and

PING 192.168.0.200 (192.168.0.200): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Cannot allocate memory

If I use an Ubuntu 8.04 virtual machine on the Mac, the ping succeeds,  
but the ssh is denied with:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.200 port 22: Connection refused

I have looked at the Mac OS X wiki pages and tried an alternative  
driver, but that seemed to have no effect. From the shell I'm unable  
to run lsmod or modprobe, so I'm not sure which of the two drivers is  
running. I'm about to try the other driver mentioned on the wiki for  
the Zaraus, but I'm not hopeful.

I can access the USB console for both UBoots - Nor and Nand, so the  
cable itself seems good.

Has anyone insight or suggestions on what I might try?

Thanks,

Chris

Is there an reason I shouldn't use this device? There is also an iGo

Re: Problems with building openmoko-sample with toolchain

The offending script that caused this error for me is something called  
om-launch.sh (I don't think I renamed it). I had tried out the  
"emulation" before building the toolchain and the shell script seemed  
to muck things up a bit. Again, starting with a fresh shell resolved  
everything.

Re: Problems with building openmoko-sample with toolchain

2008-07-11 Thread C R McClenaghan
I think there is a problem with your environment caused by various  
shell scripts you may have executed. If you have set up any of the  
scripts to run automatically, undo that. Start in a "clean" shell to  
do the toolchain activity. I had this problem but I cannot recall the  
prior activity I had done before starting the toolchain. When I  
started a new shell everything was fine. I did get a very similar  
traceback.

vmware appliance for Xoo/Xephyr

2008-07-08 Thread C R McClenaghan
The Wiki states that a vmware appliance exists for Xoo/Xephyr based  
development. I've not been able to locate it via search. Can someone  
point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Chris
