PocketPenguin / Gta02-core Open Hardware Project
« on: May 18, 2009, 10:11:10 pm »
Some folks might be interested in the GTA02-core project:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gta02-core

From the Wiki:

"gta02-core is an experimental project to explore community involvement in the development of hardware for potential future open phones. The aim is to develop an incremental improvement on existing GTA02 designs, while replicating the necessary CAD files in a open format."

GTA02 being the Openmoko FreeRunner phone

OpenMoko / Android Ported To Openmoko Devices
« on: November 06, 2008, 10:51:43 am »
Since nobody else posted this I figured I should.  Andriod is up and running on the FreeRunner and Neo1973 Om devices:

Still some warts, but hopefully those will be ironed out soon.

What I would personally like to see is the Dalvik VM and the other runtimes  in a lean package to allow for Android apps to run on any flavor of Linux.

OpenMoko / Fdom

It's not a fork, though it does have some additions that apparently will not make it to OM (such as Raster's keyboard).

Raster's keyboard is included in the default OM2008.8, it is just disabled and the Qtopia keyboard is used instead.  I don't really understand why when illume is way better in all aspects than the Qtopia keyboard, but I'm not running the project.

OpenMoko / Stable Om2008.8
« on: September 18, 2008, 11:44:08 am »
Yeah, it's 'mostly' good for me.  There is a loooong way to go and just as several of my friends have stated, why isn't there some consolidation on embedded Linux projects?  Why not add on to Maemo or some other fully usable project?

OpenMoko / Stable Om2008.8

For anyone that isn't tracking the mailing list, the latest "stable" official OpenMoko firmware:

http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.8-update/

And the opkg repository for it (which is configured by default):

http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/

Enjoy!

OpenMoko / Manual Install Package

I have a problem on my network, I have a proxy and I'm not able to configure neo to download pkg with:
opkg update
opkg upgrade

By default /etc/resolv.conf is not populated with good info if you are masquerading through a desktop.  You will need to put your name servers into /etc/resolv.conf to get name resolution.  If you have an authenticating proxy though I'm not sure that opkg can handle that.

OpenMoko / Dates - Calendar

This version contain more application of the current version?

Thanks a lot

I don't think there is any such thing as a stable image for OpenMoko now, but OM2008.8 is the latest release of what will be the stable image in a few months.  Raster's image has a newer revision of the illume keyboard, which is in my opinion a much better software keyboard.  


You should update your uboot as well, quite a few bugs squashed since the phone was released.

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_FreeRunner

Make sure that you are booted into NOR (hold Aux and then press power) while flashing uboot.

Development is moving right along, but probably not fast enough for some people, there are still some fairly annoying bugs.  I've been using Raster's image + Zecke's updates + This theme ( http://52grad.de/.stuff/freerunner/ ) daily for 2 weeks or so.  It is still definitely not a "normal" users phone, but it is good enough to start testing your application ideas.

I assume you are running the default image on the device?  As I recall the package is called openmoko-dates2 in the repository.  You will need to install the package from the command line via the terminal on the phone or via SSH with the USB cable ( http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking ).

You also might try upgrading to the OM2008.8 image:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om_2008.8

I recommend using this image from Raster:

http://download.enlightenment.org/misc/

and adding Zecke's testing repositories to your /etc/opkg/* files:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Download#Uno...builds_by_zecke

The via SSH over USB cable run:

opkg update ; opkg upgrade

Then reboot your phone.

Hope this helps

Mac Issues / Openmoko Flasher

On the FreeRunner (while in uBoot):
Starting DFU DOWNLOAD to partition "factory"
End of write exceeds partition end

Hmm,

Openmoko Flasher.app/Contents/MacOS/dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D rootfs_filename.jffs2

Should be the command to flash the rootfs and I don't know where you are getting that "factory" partition name from.  After the -a option you should be specifying 'rootfs' as the partition to flash.

is it possible to use a bluetooth headset with the freerunner?

Yes, it is possible.  There are some audio quality issues that are being looked into at the moment with A2DP.

Accessories / [test] Solio Solar Charger With Zaurus Cxx00
« on: July 23, 2008, 09:28:11 am »
Have you read the old threads about the Aurora solar panels?  They might be helpful.

And one of my friends has been using the Solio H1000s with his Nokia N800 and loves it.  I might get something like this for the FreeRunner at some point.  Very cool btw.

OpenMoko / Sim Cards
« on: July 14, 2008, 12:43:06 pm »
In the interest of keeping people informed before they get a phone and get upset if there are problems.  It looks like there are some issues with some SIM cards:

http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/commun...uly/021544.html

They haven't tracked it down yet, but it looks like it is not carrier specific.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Mencoder - How Convert Wmv To Avi
« on: July 09, 2008, 12:25:22 pm »
I don't think you can do that on the Z.  My understanding is that mplayer uses the Windows codec via Wine to play any WMV9 files.  Since this codec cannot work on the Z, because the Z uses an ARM processor not x86, I don't see how you would be able to get the data out of the WMV file.  You could convert the files on an x86 Linux or Windows system into an AVI and then play that on your Z though.

That Hans was being tried is old news as well.  The big news on this is that he made a deal and showed them the location of the body.

I'm not a fan of this app on the Z.  It is just too big and slow for me, but I have no better suggestions.

I guess I can install whatever WM I want after the fact.  A pre-configured wbar with one of those config tools you linked to in the wbar thread would be nice.  It would give pdaXrom a bit of a new snazzy look.
