(Including the ARM MPU and the c55x DSP). MPU in this case refers to Micro-Processing Unit, which refers to the primary ARM in the OMAP. Anyone even vaguely familiar with TI and OMAP literature should be aware of this, hopefully this should clear things up. Calling it ALU-based decoding would be misleading, as vendors have a tendency to implement barrel shifters in hardware outside of the scope of the ALU. ;-) ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

[maemo-developers] 770 bug!
Hi, i dont know if this is a bug with the 770 browser or something else, while using my friends nokia 770 device i browsed to www.pakmusic.com and tried to log in, the browser window dissappeared unexpectedly, numerous attempts resulted in similar results, may be some one can verify this ? -ahmad ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

[maemo-developers] Compiling own kernels and using the wlan module
Hello, Michael Gernoth and I just managed to compile a new kernel with ipv6 enabled using the wlan module(s) of the new Software version. So here you go. It is now possible to compile own kernels. :-) We are going to build a kernel with ipsec, and nfs server and client capabilities and so on and will shortly publish it with instructions.

The logic appears to be, that for most users it is more important to have a fast fpu than high quality math results. It would need some more investigating to find out how bad the inaccuracies are, and if you can use it as the fpu for off-the-shelf software expecting IEEE semantics, or if it's usefullness is limited to code written specifically for it. From Debian/Alpha experiences, I would bet for the latter. Especially considering that pre-EV6 alpha fpu did not suck - it was just not perfectly IEEE compatible.. > This is not necessarily true either, and is one of the bigger reasons for > pushing EABI.

Even if VFP turns out to be really fast and usefull, most arm cpu's will still be fpuless for a long time from now. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

It's still in a highly experimental state, but now that playback is fluent, I can get the code in good shape. :) My program is not a codec but a player on its own, as it was originally just a proof-of-concept.

[maemo-developers] Starting application from task navigator menu won't work
Hi all, I created a small helloworld application and created the .deb package pretty much by copying stuff from Jarkko Oikarinen's Mammasnake package (by the way, a million thanks to Jarkko for not using autotools - for a newbie like me the shell script is way, way, WAY easier to understand than autotools scripts) Anyway - I manage to install the package to a real N770 device and it shows under "Extras" in the menu - but selecting it doesn't do anything. In fact, the only thing that happens that I no longer can start anything (like file manager or anything under Games etc) from the task bar menu anymore. Otherwise the device works fine - I can e.g. adjust volume settings from the top right corner. Any ideas for what could be wrong? I checked with "ps -aux | grep user" in XTerm on the device and apparently my application does not even start, so the problem is likely to be somehow with the installation package, not the actual application. As I said, I pretty much copied the package.sh script, the .service file, the .desktop file, and the control file from the Mammasnake package by replacing all 'mammasnake' references with the name of my own application. So the links etc should work fine. Oh, and I did the whole compile under ARM target and checked (with 'file') that the executable really is an ARM executable. -Sami- ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
[maemo-developers] WLAN problem with FritzBox
Hi all, Lucky me I am one of the nokia770 owners. I am quite impressed by this piece of hardware - only I have a real bad problem: As some others (first and second), I have problems connecting to the Internet via my FritzBoxFon WLAN (a DSLmodem/router). I.e., after connection to the router the nokia 770 will not send any packets to the router (while obviously receiving packets). Pinging the router will not succeed (no packs sent), though i can ping a notebook connected to the same WLAN. one lead i have, though, is, that dmesg says sm_drv_transmit: sm_frame_tx returned error -10 After searching the web for the code in question (obviously part of the prism wlan drivers, see XH8196--devo--0--patch-10/module/sm_drv.c). The value -10 is returned by a call to prism_softmac_frame_tx() and seems to be the #define of SM_EDSTUNKN (destination unknown??! See (XH8196--devo--0--patch-10/umac/softmac2.h). I don't know where i can find the definition of prism_softmac_frame_tx(), maybe only available as part of the firmware (in umac/). has anybody a clue what could be the problem with the connection if such an error occurs? greets, t1m ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
