Hello everyone, I'm trying to perform some tests on XO battery life
performance and I have some questions which I couldn't find a clear answer
in the wiki or this list:
- When the battery level is "critically low" the OS (Sugar 0.88 based
Dextrose) performs a safe shutdown. I would like to know wh

Thanks, for starters this is really useful, because it's not at all similar
to what I've been observed. The computer powers off with battery levels
between 10-15% and the led starts blinking around 5-10%. I'm using several
batteries on the same XO 1.0 computer. Granted, the batteries are not fresh

I want to be clear that as far as I am aware OLPC has never "lost interest in
supporting its mesh", and we have continued to look for ways to achieve its
original goals. In the XO-1.5 we opted for a WLAN radio that didn't have
built-in mesh support because it used much less power (in al

That's exactly what I wanted to know. How was the SOC evaluated when the
battery lost capacity. If there was some estimation on the battery loss or
just a full capacity assumption and then early poweroff.
I have several batteries, some of them pretty old (that's the idea). A
couple of S/Ns:

Even better you are in a position to help me figure out how best to deal

The mfg is embedded in the serial number pos 6-11 format YYMMDD
So these 2 batteries where produced 2008/0
We would really like to have a relatively accurate result *as fast as
possible *of the condition of a battery. That's what I'm trying to get to.
I could run the olpc-pwr-log on 15 batteries aprox. Used batteries but in a
"probably good" condition.
I'm also trying to get some really bad but function
OK. Just read this email.
So the plan would be:
- Start from a fully charged battery, run the olpc-pwr-log script until
poweroff.
- Remove battery, plug XO, run script and insert battery until fully
charged.
If you would prefer a different test please let me know.

Yes. Or the other way around if

oh and if this is a build that running powerd then you need to stop it
or disable power management and turn off dpms screen blanking. On 1.5
dpms is not active but it is on XO 1.0. The ma

I'm planning to use different XO's, all of them 1.0 hardware. I definately
won't be able to finish today because they all have different OS images and
I think it would be best if I update them all (even for future tests). Maybe
tomorrow, maybe monday.
I think it will be very hard to perform the sa

OK. Great. Is the attached version newer than the one in Sugar 0.88??
Because the latest dextrose image is mainly based on Sugar 0.88

Hi all,
the folks from the Austrian pilot project want to equip the XO-1s there with
SD cards. Are there any restrictions wrt size, speed, etc. that they should

Hi Christoph:
Then is not so much a matter of I/O, at least not in the terms that we think
of it.
We're more incline to think how fast a file can be copied from the NAND to
the external device, but that only happens when you're copying several files
at once. We're programmers, geeks. Perhaps it d
