Very high capacity battery for GTA02

2011-10-20 Thread Eric Smith
Hi

Has any one experience with or suggestions for a very high capacity 
battery for the GTA02?

I want to use the device as a remote tracking device and with good 
power management and high capacity battery want to deliver 3 weeks life.

Thanks

 The /sys paths change with kernel versions. I personally don't think it
 is a good idea for users to try to directly access them. If you install
 the omhacks package you can control usb power without having to
 remember direct /sys paths.

Re: Neo as usb host and providing power to attached device - omhacks

2011-07-18 Thread Eric Smith
I cannot find omhacks package in main andcannot (for some reason) add 
universe repository for armel.

Could someone point to alocation where I could download the omhacks 
package manually?

(Usb networking sometimes provides internet access of the neo,
sometimes not. Why is it so unpredictable.)

I should have said, Timo.

lenny with openhackable1.

Just installed some binaries from anothger dist and have errors.
Considering now squeeze binaries.

What is the best thing to do in order to install omhacks? Upgrade to 
squeeze?

I will ask openhackable1 guys on freenode.

How would I stop the timeout on my device that breaks the usb

 You should be able to backport it to lenny if you really want to since
 it's just a C program. Can you ask the openhackable1 folks or do you
 have experience on debian packaging yourself?

Neo as usb host and providing power to attached device

2011-07-17 Thread Eric Smith
Hi 

Using:
Linux hackable1 2.6.29-rc3-hackable1 #2 PREEMPT Tue Sep 15 13:07:51 CEST 2009 
armv4tl GNU/Linux

I am following instructions at 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973_USB_host

So far this command seems to work:
root@hackable1:~# echo host  /sys/devices/platform/s3c-ohci/usb_mode

In order to provide power to the attached device wiki article
advises the following command:
echo 1  /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode

But I cannot see any file called hostmode in /sys/devices/platform
and FWIW;
root@hackable1:~# find  /sys/devices/platform/|egrep 'mode|host'
/sys/devices/platform/s3c-ohci/usb_host:usb_host1
/sys/devices/platform/s3c-ohci/usb_mode
/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-sdi/mmc_host:mmc1

Thanks for advice on how to set the neo to provide power over usb.

 This shows that there is no NAT. Your phone can't talk to the outside
 world using its private 192.168.4.202 address. You need to setup NAT
 that translates packets between public and private address. Something
 like
 
 iptables -A POSTROUTING -o net -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.4.0/24
 echo 1  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
 
 should work assuming that your upstream interface is called net like
 here. Yours might be eth0?

Re: Freerunner as a mobile gateway - shipping container

2011-05-18 Thread Eric Smith
Thanks Al,

Main application here is in a sea shipping container.

The key issues are RF communication (when in a GSM range of course) 
and power management due to the long haul journey including journey 
overland. Power supply has to be in the form of an additional battery.

Technical issue is to have minimal size OS and to be low in power
consumption.  And robust.
 
All ideas welcome.

Thanks

 Nobody has talked about doing this IIRC, but it certainly sounds feasible. 
 External power can be supplied via the usb y-cable arrangement, so shouldn't 
 be a problem. atd-over-fso will let you wake from suspend to do what you want

Re: debian installed, uImage.bin not recognised

2011-02-04 Thread Eric Smith
Thanks Timo
 What parameters did you give to install.sh? In particular, which boot
 loader are you using and how is it configured?

TASKS=ALL QI=true SD_SWAP_SIZE=128 DASH_BINSH=false ./install.sh all

anyways I think this is the command I issued on the single occasion 
that the install process completed.

Qi bootloader not configured and just flashed as per the manual.

I do not understand why the Debian maintainers did not create a static
respository istead of linking to unstable that is a moving target.

I will give this another try when I have some more time.
Any suggestions on how to get a standard debian installed on sdcard 
most welcome.  The UI does not interest me, I want to install a JRE
and som proprietory software that runs on the JVM.

Thanks.

  Hello all,
      I'm working on a project and I think it'd be cool as to show off the
  project's work on a phone. The OpenMoko phone ;-)
 
  Unfortunately the project is implemented in Java, which I'm no fan of on
  anything but a web server or browser but that's a discussion for another
  day.
 
  I tried our system, which is running in an OSGi Container, on Jamvm on
  the OpenMoko. It works but it sucks up 95% of the CPU when it's idle.
  Not Good! I tried the same on my eeePC and with Sun's JRE our system
  uses 1% of CPU whilst JamVM on the eeePC uses 40%. Obviously JamVM does
  not suit our system.
 
  No idea if it would be better, but have you tried cacao? Its in shr-feeds 
  now again.
 
  This is really weird!
  I wrtoe one more or less serious app in java for the freerunner and a
  couple of test apps and jamvm had avery fast startup, but was not as
  compatible as cacao, but easier to use and did not require that much
  ressources.
  which distro are you using? which feed are you using to install jamvm
  (dunno if still true but there used to be a difference depending on
  where you installed it from).
 
 
  Sorry I've been a bit busy on stuff and only now catching up here on the
  list.
 
  I'm using the latest classpath 0.98 and Jamvm 1.5.3  I can't remember
  the specifics at the moment but there was some feature of Java 6 that
  our system's code was using which required JamVM 1.5.3 which in turn
  required Classpath 0.98. I just used a OE recipe for those and build
  them for the OpenMoko.
 
  I tried the Cacao JRE on my eeePC and it soaked up resources as well so
  I never even bothered to build it for the phone. Obviously something in
  our Java System, mabe knophlerfish is not streamlined in these JRE's.
  There is a Huge difference in running our system in a SUN JRE (1% CPU
  According top) and other Jre's
 
  I'm working now on the eeePC to see can I reduce this 40% on Jamvm. When
  I get time actually I'm now trying to connect to an AdHoc wifi network
  form the FreeRunner.
 
  Thanks for the clarification on the ARM front. I don't think Sun have a
  JRE for an ARM 4, no surprise really ;-) Things would be too easy.

 I think that OpenJDK has some JRE machines running on ARM. It's no
 receipe in OE yet, but i tested a GUI in a OE machine and worked fine.
 I didn't test the load of the CPU, but i could tell that some JREs are
 working.
 
 I hope to post some of this in OE repos, and get a OpenJava JRE machine :)

Which to me looks pretty healthy.

The paritions on the SD are:
neo:~# fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 2027 MB, 2027945984 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 61888 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xde50b0d4

Device Boot  Start End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1   1 2457832   83  Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p2 246   61888 1972576   83  Linux
And the last one seems to be fully poulated

There is a warning on the http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner not to type 
reboot: but use the buttons 
which is what I did, but the manual on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian 
says the opposite.

How do I get out of this problem and into the debian install.

SIP Client

2009-11-09 Thread Eric Smith
Hi

I have not used my freerunnner much since I bought it soon after
public launch due to battery issues.

Recently flashed the latest unstable SHR and initially looked
reliable and promising as a regular phone.  But then I
experienced missed calls and failure to dial.
(perhaps I will try Qt Extended Improved to see if this
works  better as a regular phone)

But I know there is a lot of new work on SHR and I hope that
it allow me to have a reliable regular phone.

Meanwhile, I want to use the freerunner as a WIFI connected
SIP client.  No need to make cellular calls or do *anything*
else than VOIP.

What is the advice on both the platform and application above it to
reliably support WIFI and a sip client?  I see linphone is mentioned
in this forum.

I do have a problem with batterys not charging well and
discharging fast, maybe some distributions fix this?

Thanks for suggestions.

Using freerunner as a telephone

2008-08-09 Thread Eric Smith
What is the best image and configuration to have
freerunner making and receiving telephone calls.
I am thinking maximum reliability and battery life.

Kind of failsafe mode.

Or am I on the wrong universe?

Re: Warranty on phase 1 phones

2008-05-06 Thread Eric Smith
Openmoko,

A lot of people on the Group Order forum are asking about the
warranty protection of individual buyers when we consolidate
our orders.  Is openmoko able to provide a solution where buyers may
take advantage of the bulk discount and reduced shipping
costs through Group Order and at the same time each individual
enjoys an independent Warranty direct with Openmoko?

 Of course we'll have a warranty ;-)
 
 I'm not sure of the exact terms at this point. Probably something
 standard like 1 year.

Unleash your phone.

 A consumer ad campaign is NOT the place to push the free as in beer vs
 free as in speech argument. The phrase free phone already means the
 opposite of what we want it to mean. It's done, finished, over. Move on.
 
 Call it something else in the consumer market. The Flexible Phone. The
 Does-what-you-want-not-what the big corporations want. I don't know.
