**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Mar 16 02:59:57 2007 Mar 16 02:59:57 km Mar 16 03:00:18 that's when I'm at home, and the neo is still in the test rig at work. Mar 16 03:00:35 I sure would like to experience the look and feel of the finger GUI. Mar 16 03:00:36 (I can still reflash it from bare metal from that distance) Mar 16 03:01:18 would an application developer ever need to reflash u-boot? Mar 16 03:03:12 well I did, to fix the 64M bug Mar 16 03:04:44 so can I try your Makefile on my x86_64 now? Mar 16 03:05:56 sorry, you said 64M bug. I misread that. Mar 16 03:07:50 15k, that's like a ride from brunswick to st kilda Mar 16 03:09:10 why are the development images so large? 25MB? Mar 16 03:10:06 or is that the root file system? Mar 16 03:16:22 how long does it take to flash the kernel? Mar 16 03:16:34 DukeOfURL: yes, rootfs.

Mar 16 05:32:55 im already used to the way a qwerty keyboard is arranged, and used to hwo they are arrange on my normal phone. i don't really see the use of a full keyboard on a phone Mar 16 05:34:05 <_ASK> have you used both? a phone with a full keyboard (like the treo) and a phone without buttons like the neo? Mar 16 05:34:52 <_ASK> i find it troublesome to type directly on the screen and to use the stylus i need both hands Mar 16 05:36:42 <_ASK> besides, that design is even smaller than the neo and doesn't sacrifice much, screen is 2.6, the smallest VGA size available Mar 16 05:37:27 <_ASK> five way control is also quite useful and accurate Mar 16 06:38:29 openmoko: 03zhiyong_sun * r1383 10/trunk/src/target/OM-2007/applications/openmoko-taskmanager/src/list_view.c: bug fixed: list_view.c::moko_add_window:pixbuf pointer free error Mar 16 06:47:06 (script) openmoko-community: Sean Moss-Pultz Re: Crossroads Mar 16 07:28:54 <_ASK> nice, i've finished the curved layout...

Mar 16 07:59:14 the buttons looked a bit tiny. it's meant to use a stylus with it, or what? Mar 16 08:00:28 <_ASK> no, your thumb Mar 16 08:00:28 _ASK: i know you might get confused, but i think it could be managable for the hardcore people ;-) Mar 16 08:00:39 oh, okay. *have another look* Mar 16 08:00:49 <_ASK> keys aren't that small Mar 16 08:01:03 <_ASK> at least, compared to most full keyboards Mar 16 08:01:31 <_ASK> also, it's for a decent sized phone (50mm thick) Mar 16 08:01:37 you plan this for the Neo1973, right? Mar 16 08:01:52 <_ASK> for the next generation neo, yes Mar 16 08:03:03 <_ASK> it's a "hardware" keyboard, not on screen Mar 16 08:03:08 aha. Mar 16 08:03:37 i thought it was an on-screen keyboard for the 2.8" VGA touchscreen of Neo1973.

I want to play mp3's on it ;) Mar 16 09:01:17 sounds good. i can confirm this is already working ;) Mar 16 09:01:38 i didn't manage to play ogg yet Mar 16 09:01:38 The only thing I worry about losing on a phone is the contact information Mar 16 09:01:43 but that's due to the FP-codec Mar 16 09:01:52 How is that going to be stored when you re-flash it? Mar 16 09:02:23 Have to be some kind of easy back up of that. Another goal of mine for sure Mar 16 09:02:25 CM: personally, i would suggest writing contacts only to SD Mar 16 09:02:47 even if that means you _need_ an SD to operate the phone Mar 16 09:02:49 That's what I was thinking too. What format is the db? Mar 16 09:03:00 mickeyl: i was thinking about a good backup method too Mar 16 09:03:02 evolution, so berkely IIRC Mar 16 09:03:06 Ok Mar 16 09:03:21 guaqua,CM: ya, a really good backup app is a challenge Mar 16 09:03:24 how are sms messages stores? Mar 16 09:03:27 stored i mean Mar 16 09:03:46 sms support is not there yet Mar 16 09:03:58 are there any plans? Mar 16 09:03:59 i hope we can (ab)use the evolution db for that as well Mar 16 09:04:06 i'm not too fond of different data storage solutions Mar 16 09:04:21 absolutely, sms is on the agenda, some guys in taiwan are working on it Mar 16 09:04:22 i'd actually be fond of pure text files, but that's just me Mar 16 09:04:27 *nod* Just adds more dependencis and complexity Mar 16 09:04:39 I mean multiple dbs Mar 16 09:04:44 my idea was to stuff everything into the evo db Mar 16 09:04:44 ;= Mar 16 09:04:51 i'm not sure yet whether we can do that Mar 16 09:04:54 but it looks good so far Mar 16 09:05:09 the concept of a filesystem really is a technical one Mar 16 09:05:17 * CM is off to the coffee machine Mar 16 09:05:18 mickeyl: mplayer has fixed point codec for ogg Mar 16 09:05:31 as long as there is a centralized way that actually works and is easy to implement stuff on, i'm happy with that Mar 16 09:05:43 XorA: ah, good, i need to try that. vorbis is using 100% without tremor Mar 16 09:05:54 openmoko: 03caowai_song * r1387 10/trunk/src/target/OM-2007/applications/openmoko-appmanager/src/ (detail-area.c tool-box.c): Remove the warnning in tool-box.c and detail-area.c. Mar 16 09:05:54 but that's not as easy equation it sounds :) Mar 16 09:06:23 extend tinymail to work with SMS store as well Mar 16 09:06:46 guaqua: *nod* top goal is having _one_ _consistent _ way of dealing with PIM data. We really want to discourage parallel storage models since they don't allow for cross-referencing and increase backup complexity Mar 16 09:06:54 Ive got a good mail client on WinCE that treats SMS the same as email and it works nicely Mar 16 09:06:58 true Mar 16 09:07:34 i was also thinking about backup as not only in neo -> computer, but neo -> usb drive Mar 16 09:07:48 maybe webdav also Mar 16 09:07:52 yeah Mar 16 09:07:57 multiple backup "sinks" Mar 16 09:08:48 with computer backup you have to implement the computer side too, with these others we would only need special stuff on the OS side Mar 16 09:11:52 cu l8er, need to pack Mar 16 09:12:28 XorA: what is the fixed point ogg decoder in mplayer? playing 192k .oggs with mplayer/ffvorbis eats 95% cpu Mar 16 09:13:29 pH5: tremor Mar 16 09:13:47 pH5: dont use ffvorbis Mar 16 09:14:00 pH5: thats ffmpeg using a floating point codec Mar 16 09:14:22 pH5: I think the codec you want is actually just called vorbis Mar 16 09:15:05 i think it's actually quite impressive that it can run fp based oggs at 192k Mar 16 09:15:17 does it stutter? Mar 16 09:16:04 buz: when loading from flash/sd, yes. just playing from memory is fine. Mar 16 09:16:34 with 128mb ram you could likely cache to memory easily Mar 16 09:16:35 XorA: thanks, with -ac vorbis it uses 23-24% cpu Mar 16 09:16:57 has anybody tried 320kbit mp3? Mar 16 09:18:27 ~lart me for not being a student and not being able to apply for OpenMoko SoC Mar 16 09:18:27 * apt takes out me for not being a student and not being able to apply with the trash for OpenMoko SoC Mar 16 09:19:09 apt doesnt seem to understand self references ;) Mar 16 09:19:26 pH5: bonus points if you know how to turn off ffvorbis on ARM targets as I get that question lots Mar 16 09:20:06 XorA: yeah, I was just about to ask ;) Mar 16 09:22:16 --disable-decoder=DECODER Mar 16 09:22:23 looks promising Mar 16 09:23:00 EXTRA_OECONF_append_arm = " --disable-decoder=ffvorbis" ? Mar 16 09:23:20 pH5: looks like that would do it, are you in position to try, I dont have my zaurus today Mar 16 09:24:21 --disable-decoder=oggvorbis I think is the right way Mar 16 09:24:58 XorA: ok, I'll try Mar 16 09:26:25 _libavdecoders=`grep 'register_avcodec(&[a-z0-9_]*_decoder)' libavcodec/allcodecs.c | sed 's/.*&\(.*\)).*/\1/'` is how the codecs are found Mar 16 09:26:31 nasty Mar 16 09:36:18 hm.. that didn't do the trick.

I'll try again. Mar 16 09:49:00 pH5: oggvorbis uses libvorbis which I think we already disable Mar 16 09:55:54 * XorA persuades Neo to boot Mar 16 09:55:54 You are right, of course. --disable-decoder=oggvorbis_decoder has no effect.

Mar 16 10:02:39 bastards Mar 16 10:03:00 no, that's my fault (-ac ffvorbis). without -ac it uses vorbis just fine. Mar 16 10:06:24 Hi all, can anyone help me with the information of the release of OpenMoko scheduled in March 2007?

Can you help me with some more precised link Mar 16 10:12:24 sureshkumar: thats because there isnt any Mar 16 10:13:59 but i remember that yesterday someone had provided me the link where I can see the information regarding the release dates Mar 16 10:14:14 counter Mar 16 10:14:15 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973 P1: 2 weeks, 2 days 01:45:45 (16.073 +-7.0 days) (550) Mar 16 10:15:46 in an interview on the german ccc express radio, Harald mentioned first week of april as a likely date for P1 Mar 16 10:16:45 ok. thanks for the info Mar 16 10:17:32 aloril: Can you help me in getting the counter information for the release? I mean how can I get that info "P1: 2 weeks, 2 days 01:45:45 (16.073 +-7.0 days) (550)" Mar 16 10:19:57 Nice to see the counter have accuracy down to the second and an error bar of +/- 7 days :) Mar 16 10:20:33 Can you help me in getting the counter information for the release? I mean how can I get that info "P1: 2 weeks, 2 days 01:45:45 (16.073 +-7.0 days) (550)" Mar 16 10:22:19 Can anyone help me in getting the counter information for the release? I mean how can I get that info "P1: 2 weeks, 2 days 01:45:45 (16.073 +-7.0 days) (550)" Mar 16 10:22:34 Dunno where it comes from, I'm afraid Mar 16 10:22:35 sureshkumar: what do you mean? You already have the information. Mar 16 10:23:25 I agree that I have this information for now Mar 16 10:24:08 Instead of asking in this room, may be I would keep an eye on this, for verifying an delay or not. Mar 16 10:25:10 sureshkumar: maybe subscribe to the announce mailing list on lists.openmoko.org Mar 16 10:25:14 Just learning on how we can check this so that I can have an idea of these small things Mar 16 10:37:18 Heya, everyone. Mar 16 10:37:30 I'm trying to get my own openmoko image running from SD... Mar 16 10:37:50 ...is there binary of kernel and binary of root filesystem available somewhere? Mar 16 10:37:55 ...I do not feel like compiling everything just yet... Mar 16 10:39:00 pavelm: buildhost.openmoko.org Mar 16 10:46:03 rtp: Thanks. Mar 16 10:46:43 pavelm: or ask alphaone to share his kernel binary. I think the ones in the buildhost might not have s3cmci compiled in. Mar 16 10:48:09 mickeylbbl: you said that P1 wll ship with tested GPS: do you mean that hardware is tested or do mean that agpsd will work? Mar 16 10:51:09 ph5: What is s3cmci? Mar 16 10:51:41 ph5: I think I'll just get it booting first, then play with different binaries. Mar 16 10:52:44 pavelm: it's the mmc/sd driver for the s3c2410's controller. Mar 16 10:53:25 (script) wiki RecentChanges: [[Buying_Interest_List]] [[Booting_from_SD]] Mar 16 10:53:45 pavelm: Just a sec Mar 16 10:53:47 ph5: Ok, that sounds useful for booting from SD :-) Mar 16 10:54:17 pavelm: Yeah, it really is :-) Mar 16 10:55:58 pavelm: http://thebe.totalueberwachung.de/~alphaone/openmoko/uImage-with-sd Mar 16 10:57:15 alphaone: Thanks... (if you'd generated image with ppp support, that would be very useful, too :-) Mar 16 11:03:38 ...kernel booted -- so far so good, but then I learn that it can't switch card to high-speed mode. It detects partitions okay... but then refuses to mount it. Mar 16 11:05:33 pavelm: It is there as module Mar 16 11:05:42 I'll copy them, too Mar 16 11:05:53 hmm Mar 16 11:06:03 Never had that problem here.. Mar 16 11:06:20 pavelm: Are you using the provided SanDisk SD cars? Mar 16 11:06:28 s/rs/rd/ Mar 16 11:06:28 alphaone meant: pavelm: Are you using the provided SanDisk SD card? Mar 16 11:09:29 I guess I should check bootloader commandline. Mar 16 11:10:48 alphaone: Using provided SD card, just did mke2fs /dev/mmc1 Mar 16 11:12:40 ...i wonder if I should have done mke_3_fs? Mar 16 11:16:13 pavelm: mke2fs -j Mar 16 11:16:13 yep. ext3 works, ext2 does not. Mar 16 11:16:42 pavelm: Right, ext2 is modular in the defconfig Mar 16 11:16:57 pavelm: http://thebe.totalueberwachung.de/~alphaone/openmoko/modules-2.6.20.2-moko8.tar.bz2 Mar 16 11:17:53 ...I got oops during boot, but it sems to continue. Mar 16 11:18:38 what does it say? Mar 16 11:19:04 ...it said it in _very small_ font, then scrolled away. It was initial "long" boot. Mar 16 11:19:50 uff... latest image of the day no longer includes rxvt in menu :-( Mar 16 11:20:24 hmm.. werner's "stty -F /dev/ttySAC0 crtscts" trick for bug 256 has an effect here, too. Mar 16 11:20:45 It still hangs, but now I can see the (garbled) interpreter ready message sometimes. Mar 16 11:21:05 Oops is in bluetooth. Are you interested? Mar 16 11:22:06 ...strange, openmoko dialer failed at first launch attempt, now it works? Mar 16 11:22:26 pavelm: first launch doesn't show the gui, it says that on stdout. Mar 16 11:22:44 ph5: ok.. Mar 16 11:23:02 ph5: unfortunately the dialer does not really work. Mar 16 11:24:30 pavelm: I will start to worry about that when I either find a way to communicate with the gsm modem in my p0 device or after the start of p1 :) Mar 16 11:25:14 ph5: I followed the "do the calls manually" steps, and it seems to work. Mar 16 11:45:17 bye for now... will play with ppp on openmoko Mar 16 11:53:25 (script) wiki RecentChanges: [[Manually_using_GSM]] [[Buying_Interest_List]] [[Booting_from_SD]] Mar 16 12:00:11 good morning Mar 16 12:00:22 :) Mar 16 12:00:31 hi florian Mar 16 12:05:54 pH5: so what are the conclusions on CPU use with vorbis?

(spends most time using) Mar 16 12:10:15 SpeedEvil: You a masochist? ;) Mar 16 12:10:16 The problem is upgrading is _expensive_ to a comparable machine. (1.1Kg, 6 hour battery life) Mar 16 12:10:21 * XorA misses the days when 233 was the norm. 300 was a super beast Mar 16 12:10:32 SpeedEvil: libretto? Mar 16 12:10:41 Toshiba Portege 3110CT. Mar 16 12:10:47 It diddn't start out with wireless. Mar 16 12:10:54 * XorA remebers them, nice and small Mar 16 12:11:16 and the screen is 2", right?

Mar 16 12:13:07 What about the Q2010 or what they're called? Seems nice too Mar 16 12:14:19 Not exactly cheap though. Mar 16 12:14:54 Unfortunately.. :( Mar 16 12:15:15 And battery life on the 6 cell battery sucks compared to what I have.

Mar 16 20:04:26 I am too lazy to search :P Mar 16 20:04:55 nonickatm: Perhaps we are to lazy help people are to lazy to search. :) Mar 16 20:05:24 woo, apparently openmoko got into the summer of code Mar 16 20:05:25 i haven't seen any such page, like a summary of what's working Mar 16 20:05:32 nonickatm: What functions you are looking for? Mar 16 20:05:39 if you mean the software Mar 16 20:05:44 parag0n: They want an OS for the Gphone. Mar 16 20:05:51 in the hardware i think you can assume everything is working Mar 16 20:05:53 nonickatm: It boots up into X and matchbox wm. Mar 16 20:06:01 SpeedEvil, ^_^ Mar 16 20:06:45 nonickatm: Voice calls only hand made without GUI yet. Mar 16 20:11:16 I read that vibration and charging for example are working as stated here http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/U-boot (near the end) Mar 16 20:11:53 so voicecalls ATM only works via console right? Mar 16 20:12:41 uyes Mar 16 20:12:45 minicom or soemthing Mar 16 20:14:22 nonickatm: Voice only via console. Charging is still a bit broken, but we are on the way to fix this. Mar 16 20:17:28 also, for inputing text is used an external keyboard right? Mar 16 20:18:11 nonickatm: You can use on screen keyboard from matchbox Mar 16 20:18:14 Well, you can. Mar 16 20:18:35 ah so the touchscreen works? Mar 16 20:18:35 bluetooth credit card keyboard, or any of a number of some-to-be-invented text entry methods Mar 16 20:18:38 yes Mar 16 20:18:40 At the moment.

Mar 16 20:21:54 ;) Mar 16 20:22:14 I know. Mar 16 20:22:38 Are there any V4 hardware samples actually extant? Mar 16 20:23:52 * stefan_schmidt babbles something that can be understand as an no. Perhaps. Mar 16 20:24:34 * SpeedEvil kicks the magic-8-ball again. Mar 16 20:25:10 its nice that there will be a discount for phase1+ phones for people who bought phase1 Mar 16 20:25:23 Yeah. Mar 16 20:25:36 maybe they will send you out the PCB only Mar 16 20:25:42 since the case will be the same Mar 16 20:25:58 It'll depend. Mar 16 20:26:02 Psi_: Unlikely. The case cost more or less nothing Mar 16 20:26:06 hehe Mar 16 20:26:10 The case costs nothing. Mar 16 20:26:17 The tooling for the case costs a fair bit. Mar 16 20:26:24 several tens of thousands of dollars. Mar 16 20:26:38 Yeah, but having the PCB save on transport is worth it Mar 16 20:26:40 isn't there some stuff thats mounted in the case that connects to the PCB over pads Mar 16 20:26:46 that stuff could stay too Mar 16 20:26:57 the speakers and vibrator. Mar 16 20:27:04 gps antenna? Mar 16 20:27:11 speaking of keyboards, my bluetooth laser keyboard should be arriving soon ;-D Mar 16 20:27:12 that's a plug to a connecto0r Mar 16 20:27:24 Let us know how it is. Mar 16 20:27:29 the screen could be kept too Mar 16 20:27:40 noidd: heh, I also thought about such one. Just to pricey in my opinion. Mar 16 20:27:49 well, there is also all the manuals cables etc. that they wouldn't NEED to send, although people might want them so the have two working phones Mar 16 20:27:57 the=they Mar 16 20:28:05 Or so they have a complete set to ebay. Mar 16 20:28:41 i hope conditions for discount will be announced at the very start of p1 Mar 16 20:28:41 id prefer two working phones i think Mar 16 20:28:44 Another kernel another broken colormap. *sigh* Mar 16 20:28:51 buz, me too Mar 16 20:29:00 P1+ details are to be announced at time of P1 availability Mar 16 20:29:11 thats what i understand, yes Mar 16 20:29:28 we can wait a week/month etc after phase1 starts before deciding to order P1 right? Mar 16 20:29:31 If P1 hits in enough volume, then P1+ may be upgraded internally in terms of effort. Mar 16 20:29:34 sure Mar 16 20:29:38 However. Mar 16 20:29:46 There may be 6 week delays if they run out. Mar 16 20:29:52 yeah Mar 16 20:29:55 noticed that bit Mar 16 20:30:00 SpeedEvil: you think p1+ will get another update after april? Mar 16 20:30:07 somehow, i doubt that Mar 16 20:30:10 Well. Mar 16 20:30:28 sure, that imx31 would be tasty ;) Mar 16 20:30:49 If they sell 5-10K of P1, P1+ may get more effort I mean. Mar 16 20:31:01 sure, but it might be too late for that then Mar 16 20:31:10 but maybe then p2 is yet another phone Mar 16 20:31:37 the Duke! Mar 16 20:31:44 don't panic.. first the p0 hardware needs to be fixed completely to get a p1 ;) Mar 16 20:31:53 p1+ will probably get newer s3c24xx but still s3c24xx Mar 16 20:31:56 IMO UTMS or 3G would make it P2. Mar 16 20:32:07 UMTS is $$$ Mar 16 20:32:09 roh: rightto :( Mar 16 20:32:12 I assume no s3* is USB2? Mar 16 20:32:22 i thought i read usb2 for s3c2443 Mar 16 20:32:47 buz only for the slave port Mar 16 20:32:50 IMO, more interesting in some way than the hardware is the vendors. Mar 16 20:33:12 prpplague: is that hardware limited to be slave? Mar 16 20:33:17 If we can get vendors subsidising it in major markets, that's a big plus. Mar 16 20:33:19 or just well thought to be used as slave Mar 16 20:33:27 buz: only the slave port is usb2.0 the host port is still 1.1 Mar 16 20:33:31 uh... my mmc does not want to be mounted as ext2? Mar 16 20:33:42 yeah but could you emulate a host in software? Mar 16 20:33:50 roh: no ext2 kernel module on rootfs? Mar 16 20:33:53 no Mar 16 20:34:03 host and peripheral mode are very diffent Mar 16 20:34:04 hrw eh.. should have one Mar 16 20:34:05 hrw: think they'll go with a 2440 or something like the 2412 ? Mar 16 20:34:11 You can't do it in hardware. Mar 16 20:34:16 software rather. Mar 16 20:34:28 Unless you have a FPGA driving the USB :) Mar 16 20:34:32 isnt samsung pushing away from 2440 Mar 16 20:34:34 indeed.. only ext3 *sigh* Mar 16 20:34:51 prpplague: I do not know s3c cpus Mar 16 20:34:54 buz: no, they just don't actively push it Mar 16 20:34:58 hrw: ahh Mar 16 20:35:28 buz: we are guaranteed by samsung to have s3c2440's for a min of 5 years with an option for 7 Mar 16 20:36:02 Do we care so much about the processor? As long as it's a couple of years? Mar 16 20:36:15 SpeedEvil: yes and no Mar 16 20:36:16 prpplague: I think that to have something for massmarket they cannot change neo1973 hardware too much. Mar 16 20:36:25 i dont think its 2412 as someone metioned something about 400+mhz Mar 16 20:36:30 I mean, I'd hope for a hardware refresh every coupld of years, perhaps going with utterly different CPU. Mar 16 20:36:35 As long as it's source... Mar 16 20:36:48 hrw: yea the 244x series 400+mhz Mar 16 20:36:50 yeah it would suck selling the same cpu in 2011 Mar 16 20:37:12 SpeedEvil: yea, main problem with switching processors within the s3c24xx series is the number of pins for bga package Mar 16 20:37:24 prpplague: compatible and only need rerouting PCB? Mar 16 20:37:25 More layers? Mar 16 20:38:00 hrw: mostly compatible internally, but has different pinout Mar 16 20:38:09 SpeedEvil: oh yea, and very very very small pags Mar 16 20:38:10 pads Mar 16 20:38:24 * SpeedEvil has hand soldered QFN. /me is not scared! Mar 16 20:38:26 :) Mar 16 20:38:29 SpeedEvil: we looked at using the 2443 and the price to do the bga was way out of range Mar 16 20:38:47 prpplague: different pins are matter of rerouting rather... but checking does it works correctly is other thing... Mar 16 20:38:49 <_ASK> i was wondering Mar 16 20:38:53 I have actually done rats-nest wiring to BGA chips - that is silly. Mar 16 20:38:56 <_ASK> to make binary software packages Mar 16 20:39:12 <_ASK> i think we could use a binary image with FS Mar 16 20:39:14 Binary compatibility may be an issue. Mar 16 20:39:16 <_ASK> and mount it Mar 16 20:39:26 For example, if tomtom produced a GPS for it. Mar 16 20:39:34 all s3c are armv4t iirc Mar 16 20:39:40 <_ASK> that binary image contains all files needed to run the application Mar 16 20:39:51 both have arm920 inside Mar 16 20:40:08 for mass-market shouldnt the minisd be fat32? Mar 16 20:40:12 If the rumors of a 1G flash in P1+ are true, that raises interesting possibilities that way. Mar 16 20:40:19 yea well doing 272 pins for the s3c2410 is one thing, doing 400 pins for the s3c2443 in the _same_ package size, is definetly another Mar 16 20:40:22 <_ASK> yes paragon Mar 16 20:40:33 http://www.samsung.com/Products/Semiconductor/common/product_list.aspx?family_cd=MSC0102 Mar 16 20:40:42 prpplague: mind you fic has been doing mainboards for 2 decades Mar 16 20:40:54 they should know a thing or two about dense packaging Mar 16 20:40:54 SpeedEvil: the problem is how much time will be needed to mount it... Mar 16 20:41:09 Mainboards are not really dense. Mar 16 20:41:16 buz: yea, well, so have we, but this is very very small Mar 16 20:41:27 phones are a whole new level of insanity. Mar 16 20:41:28 SpeedEvil: depends a bit on hte chipset Mar 16 20:41:32 True. Mar 16 20:43:07 still s3c2440 is a 2003 design Mar 16 20:43:24 and s3c2443 is rather yesteryears too Mar 16 20:43:52 Fine balance between latest and cheapest Mar 16 20:43:59 SpeedEvil: based on our design using a 2443, we were looking at a 120% increase in pcb and assembly costs over the s3c2410 with regards to the cpu section Mar 16 20:44:08 Ow. Mar 16 20:44:42 do you manufacture inhouse? Mar 16 20:45:16 buz: we have inhouse facilities, but also contract out large production runs Mar 16 20:46:18 <_ASK> prpplague: what about using this design of mine? full keyboard yet slim phone: http://mikemex.t35.com/phone/telefono.png, http://mikemex.t35.com/phone/teclado2.png Mar 16 20:47:11 _ASK: using it for what? Mar 16 20:47:12 <_ASK> 50x105 mm is the actual size Mar 16 20:47:18 i would prefer cloning of htc excalibur Mar 16 20:47:20 <_ASK> next generation neo Mar 16 20:47:22 with vga upgrade Mar 16 20:48:09 _ASK: oh, well i have no clue about that Mar 16 20:48:18 <_ASK> don't you work at fic? Mar 16 20:48:22 uh no Mar 16 20:48:26 <_ASK> oh. Mar 16 20:48:58 _ASK: http://www.amltd.com Mar 16 20:49:05 _ASK: we do industrial handhelds Mar 16 20:49:17 _ASK: nice looking keypad layout though Mar 16 20:49:50 <_ASK> it's not ranrom the key placement, it was derived from a study of unigram, bigram and trigram frequencies in the language Mar 16 20:50:01 <_ASK> offers reduced finger movement Mar 16 20:50:07 <_ASK> for single thumb typing Mar 16 20:50:34 problem with such designs is that generally they work well for one language Mar 16 20:50:41 _ASK: to much keys.. Mar 16 20:50:46 and occasionally suck totally for other ones Mar 16 20:51:42 <_ASK> no, because i derived the keyboard from spanish and english Mar 16 20:51:48 <_ASK> it works well for both Mar 16 20:51:57 _ASK: polish, rusian greek too? Mar 16 20:52:11 looks bad for finnish Mar 16 20:52:20 * hrw want two softkeys, yes/no, joypad and 1-0*# keys Mar 16 20:52:27 <_ASK> english 800 million speakers, spanish 450, 1250 million compared to like 300 of the other languages... Mar 16 20:52:32 _ASK not that i'm a fan of touchscreens either, but when the decicion to do a mechanical keyboard, especially one with more keys than 'numberpad' comes to mind, i'd really not want sth not querty Mar 16 20:52:51 wtf do you find 800mio native english speakers Mar 16 20:52:57 wikipedia Mar 16 20:52:59 <_ASK> not native Mar 16 20:53:08 IIRC there is _major_ disagreement on that article. Mar 16 20:53:12 you don't count the non-natives, _ASK Mar 16 20:53:14 nobody wants to learn a new keyboard. thats why dvorak did not get major layout Mar 16 20:53:17 However. Mar 16 20:53:25 (script) wiki RecentChanges: [[Buying_Interest_List]] Mar 16 20:53:40 i would venture out to say that there are more native spanish speaking people htan english Mar 16 20:53:43 Add england (60m) US (250) Au (100?) and you're up to 400m. Mar 16 20:53:45 <_ASK> nobody? or maybe marketing people thinks they can think for others Mar 16 20:54:04 nobody Mar 16 20:54:07 not even the geeks Mar 16 20:54:12 <_ASK> internet is dominated by english, thus it's important Mar 16 20:54:14 us ~286 Mar 16 20:54:18 or how many dvorak keyboards have you seen out in the wild? Mar 16 20:54:37 guaqua: some of which are too old or young to speak english. Mar 16 20:54:38 (i think it would be rather hard to even order one of those) Mar 16 20:54:44 _ASK: THINK about 'mam & dad' type of users Mar 16 20:55:01 <_ASK> but it's not the same a desktop keyboard than a phoe keyboard; most people has to get used to the phone model, anyway Mar 16 20:55:02 i think people might be more open minded with keyboard layouts on a phone Mar 16 20:55:05 SpeedEvil: or a significant minority who are too dumb to speak proper english ;) Mar 16 20:55:07 it's bad enough switching between qwerty and qwertz Mar 16 20:55:13 That too. :) Mar 16 20:55:26 there's just NFW i'm gonna use some other double plus weird layout Mar 16 20:55:30 where do you have qwertz? Mar 16 20:55:32 IME _radically_ different layouts aren't too bad. Mar 16 20:55:37 german languages Mar 16 20:55:49 _ASK: to use keyboard I do not need to learn new layout as my fingers known qwerty and I can type blindly Mar 16 20:56:00 If double plus wierd actually gives very good results with moderate learning, ... Mar 16 20:56:07 _ASK: any new layout will make me slower Mar 16 20:56:17 SpeedEvil: i never got good results with t9 myself Mar 16 20:56:18 Not if the keys are too small. Mar 16 20:56:22 <_ASK> but there are new generations Mar 16 20:56:34 <_ASK> just because you can't adapt it doesn't mean that everybody can't Mar 16 20:56:44 they cant either Mar 16 20:56:49 <_ASK> and as i said, it offers real advantages Mar 16 20:56:52 because there are like 2billion qwerty keyboards outthere iguess Mar 16 20:57:20 <_ASK> it's not the same motor program for the mind to type both handed than one handed Mar 16 20:57:22 <_ASK> so i think it's ok Mar 16 20:57:31 hrw: some "mam & dad" types might not yet have qwerty ingrained in their heads either Mar 16 20:57:50 The right way is complete configurability. Mar 16 20:57:51 but teenagers have t9 ingrained Mar 16 20:57:51 <_ASK> well, i have to go, i'll keep pushing this. Mar 16 20:58:04 SpeedEvil: with what like unlabeled keys Mar 16 20:58:07 Which is harder with actual hardware keybs of course. Mar 16 20:58:21 Optimus or something similar. Mar 16 20:58:29 But they are impossibly expensive. Mar 16 20:58:47 maybe you could do a bendable touchscreen though Mar 16 20:58:52 that would at least give feedback Mar 16 20:59:00 but still no hole between keys Mar 16 20:59:12 i wonder if a remoavble tacile overlay could be used with a touchscreen to good effect Mar 16 20:59:27 i have been wondering about that too Mar 16 20:59:30 Me too! Mar 16 20:59:39 especially possibly in a clamshell sort of arrangement. Mar 16 21:00:00 i'm not quite sure how it should work yet Mar 16 21:00:12 maybe mostly transparent foil type keyboard Mar 16 21:00:21 like those silicone keyboards Mar 16 21:00:36 cu Mar 16 21:00:42 wav Mar 16 21:00:54 that could also be very cheap to manufacture Mar 16 21:01:23 yes transparency would be necesity, this allows it to have different key layouts with same hardware. screen would display layout for your language Mar 16 21:01:39 well then you need very good transparency Mar 16 21:01:47 which basically means no silicone Mar 16 21:01:58 That's actually wrong. Mar 16 21:02:05 There are optically pure silicones. Mar 16 21:02:11 oooh Mar 16 21:02:16 They are of course more expensive. Mar 16 21:02:18 might be $$$ Mar 16 21:02:35 But they are used for things like the surrounds to 'wrap around' safety glasses. Mar 16 21:02:39 plus once you start doing pits and stuff you get all kinds of optical issues Mar 16 21:02:50 The optical issues are difficult. Mar 16 21:03:01 it's probably much easier to simple print on the keys Mar 16 21:03:07 so you just need a material with an index of refraction axactly equal to air ;-) Mar 16 21:03:07 yeah. Mar 16 21:03:23 Or make the phone waterproof, and supply the user with a bucket of water. Mar 16 21:03:45 give him a hud and display the chars there Mar 16 21:04:09 then you can even have semitransparent fingers Mar 16 21:04:10 so we must think about an replacement for T9, or in the worst case, create a new one Mar 16 21:04:32 T10? Mar 16 21:04:40 t13 Mar 16 21:04:49 so you can have 26 chars with only shift Mar 16 21:05:04 i always thought t9 was borderline stupid Mar 16 21:05:17 consdering that you really have 10 keys Mar 16 21:05:39 You need an escape key. Mar 16 21:05:41 (or usually even 12) Mar 16 21:06:07 screw it, just perfect voice rec. Mar 16 21:06:15 Subvocal. Mar 16 21:06:15 no Mar 16 21:06:16 SE: England is not 60M Mar 16 21:06:21 UK Mar 16 21:06:22 mindreading Mar 16 21:06:24 * SpeedEvil bad. Mar 16 21:06:25 thank you :-P Mar 16 21:06:39 I was cribbing off my memory for wikipedia. Mar 16 21:06:43 * SpeedEvil is in Scotland. Mar 16 21:06:52 then you should know better :-P Mar 16 21:07:05 I do - I was just going from memory, without thought. Mar 16 21:07:05 wru laser keyboard Mar 16 21:07:38 laser keyboard sucks for a variety of reasons Mar 16 21:07:49 it basically has one redeeming feature: it's utterly geeky. and it looks cool. Mar 16 21:08:17 IMO, a flexible keyboard that you could put down on a surface is much better. Mar 16 21:08:24 Even if it needs a minicamera to read it. Mar 16 21:08:38 (as it has no real electronics) Mar 16 21:08:44 there are rollup keyboards Mar 16 21:08:48 yeah. Mar 16 21:08:49 with real electronics Mar 16 21:08:59 but its not integrated into the device Mar 16 21:09:04 I have doubts as to how well they will survive frequent openings and closings. Mar 16 21:09:26 You can pretty easily make a keyboard shaped thing that can be crushed into a pocket and survive. Mar 16 21:09:37 Making electronics in there too is hard. Mar 16 21:09:54 If all it needs is a little camera to look at your hands, that might be a win. Mar 16 21:11:44 yeah but placing the camera in the phone is hard Mar 16 21:12:00 it probably cant see the keyboard if you place the phone in any sane direction Mar 16 21:12:20 mhh these laser thingies are quite cheap on beay Mar 16 21:12:37 I was meaning as an alternative to the laser keyb bluetooth thing. Mar 16 21:12:40 or maybe we should take advantage of the big touchscreen to make a QWERTY keyboard in it Mar 16 21:12:48 IME, nice stuff stays off ebay. Mar 16 21:13:00 SpeedEvil: For me, http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/ultraslim-credit-cardsized-bluetooth-keyboard-235252.php would do just fine and matches the "fits into pocket" criteria well Mar 16 21:13:03 Or at least has a high price. Mar 16 21:13:07 yeah - saw that one. Mar 16 21:13:08 big? that keayboard is not big Mar 16 21:13:10 hmm, what about some kind of textured, roll up epaper keyboard for dislpaying different keysets Mar 16 21:13:22 wheres the point Mar 16 21:13:28 how many keysets do you really need Mar 16 21:13:31 E-ink are very uncooperative though. Mar 16 21:13:39 IME Mar 16 21:13:53 well, everyone was arguing about different keysets for all these languages Mar 16 21:13:57 peepsalot: Is there even foldable/rollable epaper? Mar 16 21:14:02 There is. Mar 16 21:14:04 It sucks. Mar 16 21:14:06 IMO. Mar 16 21:14:16 i thought there was, dunno much about it honeslty Mar 16 21:14:21 The basic problem is that it requires a flexible matrix backing. Mar 16 21:14:35 If one wire breaks - out of the few hundred, you get streaks. Mar 16 21:15:30 Doesn't sound all too easy to do then Mar 16 21:15:53 Unfortunately, no one can be told what the flexible Matrix backing is. You have to see it for yourself. Mar 16 21:16:53 * peepsalot wonders if anyone knows what he is babbling about Mar 16 21:16:58 Neo's not here yet Mar 16 21:20:53 just have everyone learn sign language, and use a camera device to interpret it. or some gloves that recognize hand positions Mar 16 21:24:07 i have a dream that in the future a basic phone could be made in the shape of a glove. a microphone in the pinky and a speaker in the thumb. to make a call you just form a phone with your hand, and voice recognition would dial for you Mar 16 21:24:25 maybe a display in the palm, but not necesary Mar 16 21:24:27 I think I'll stick to the touchscreen and mini-keyboard ;) Mar 16 21:25:38 rwhitby, I cleared out build/tmp, and am getting this again, so the dependency disappeared or something: "configure: error: can't find confuse library" for ftdi-eeprom-native-0.2-r1 Mar 16 21:25:55 i think i saw a bracelet concept device a few days back Mar 16 21:26:38 i just really want to see a glove phone cause i think it would look hilarious Mar 16 21:27:09 buz: there is one being marketed in EU Mar 16 21:27:36 like a watch/phone? Mar 16 21:27:49 http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS6361521174.html Mar 16 21:28:13 that's a huge "bracelet" Mar 16 21:28:41 can't imagine wearing one Mar 16 21:30:03 If it's large, it's got to be a combination of jewelery and electronics IMO. Mar 16 21:30:06 we did some early prototypes of a wearable with some cases like this - http://www.okwusa.com/products/okw/ergo.htm Mar 16 21:30:09 And exposed. Mar 16 21:32:02 SpeedEvil: hehe, well we find that alot of companies don't want "cooling looking devices" because they don't want their employees taking them Mar 16 21:34:22 hm.. have they released the entire circuit diagram for the phone? Mar 16 21:35:43 no Mar 16 21:35:48 not at all. Mar 16 21:35:52 pity Mar 16 21:35:57 i doubt they will Mar 16 21:36:02 there is a component layout diagram somewhere on the web. Mar 16 21:36:22 However, that tells you nothing more than the piccys. Mar 16 21:36:31 wanted to see if there was a test pad for the led backlight power Mar 16 21:36:37 why? Mar 16 21:37:04 see if it would be easy to solder a IR led and resistor across the led backlight Mar 16 21:37:12 Why Mar 16 21:37:14 ? Mar 16 21:37:25 ir remote control Mar 16 21:37:33 Prolly easier to do it over the vibrator. Mar 16 21:37:43 or ever over the rs-232 Mar 16 21:37:45 hm.. yes, that might work Mar 16 21:37:56 rs232 would need extra components Mar 16 21:38:58 i already tested a white LED to see if it could work to control IR devices, (stuck one into my vcr remote) it worked, but only at 10cm Mar 16 21:39:20 so it may be possible to hold the phone screen up to a IR device and control it without and hardware mods :P Mar 16 21:39:39 and=any Mar 16 21:42:37 openmoko: 03mickey * r1389 10/trunk/oe/packages/linux/linux-gta01/defconfig-2.6.20.2-fic-gta01: add LEDS Mar 16 21:46:19 Psi_: Interesting idea, though I wonder if maybe the IR LED could be hooked up to the stereo jack as well - if so then we could do with very little hardware, given that the amp doesn't ruin the waveforms Mar 16 21:47:16 that's a nice approach :) Mar 16 21:47:25 yes, audio port is another possibility Mar 16 21:47:30 write a 'song', turn off a tv Mar 16 21:48:04 i would like to avoid the audio port though, because it means you cant use the audio port for audio and control stuff at the same time Mar 16 21:48:48 and, if you are listening to mp3s, you will be jaming everywhere around you with IR noise :P Mar 16 21:49:06 unless you added a switch, and that is just one more piece of hardware to add Mar 16 21:49:27 standard audio jack is 2V peak-to-peak. so plenty of voltage for a LED; with 32-Ohm head phones, the unit should be able to source enough current as well Mar 16 21:49:45 err. 2v isnt enough for all leds Mar 16 21:49:48 some are 3.8v Mar 16 21:49:57 only greedy ones ;) Mar 16 21:50:02 but i think IR leds are less than 2v so should be fine Mar 16 21:50:45 yeah, I was discussing this same idea a couple weeks ago on here. I think my approach would be to use the headphone output, and add a switch. would either use headphones or IR, but never both at same time Mar 16 21:51:36 The forward voltage of an LED is usually closely related to the photon energy that comes out. Mar 16 21:51:48 IR LEDs are 0.9V or so, blue ones 4V Mar 16 21:51:49 id much prefer to cut a small hole in the case and mount an led internally, but i know some people wont what to do internal hw mods Mar 16 21:52:10 ^ Mar 16 21:52:26 You may be able to mount it behind the speaker grill. Mar 16 21:52:34 that would be good Mar 16 21:53:15 Personally I'd say that the people who are geek enough to use their phone as an IR remote will be okay with messing with the hardware ;) Mar 16 21:53:21 hehe Mar 16 21:56:00 * pH5 wants an openmoko device in this form factor: http://www.engadget.com/photos/hands-on-with-samsungs-slick-sliding-glory-the-f700/ Mar 16 21:57:35 Yes, the F700 is nice :) Mar 16 21:58:00 pH5: That would indeed rock but seeing how crammed the Neo is even now already.. Mar 16 21:59:23 counter Mar 16 21:59:24 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973 P1: 2 weeks, a day 14:00:36 (15.584 +-7.0 days) (553) Mar 16 22:03:39 * pH5 goes to dream of a tiny, sliding neo v2 Mar 16 22:06:26 hm.. the F700 looks nice.. but in that case i want the display not only to slide but to tilt upwards to give a better viewing angle and _extremely_ important: one line and one row more keys. a keyboard without and numbers is worthless Mar 16 22:07:20 The tab key you can do without if you have a touch screen, me thinks Mar 16 22:07:28 The numbers... true that Mar 16 22:07:45 I _think_ there is space for a button, or maybe a thumbstick next to the GPS. Mar 16 22:08:04 I need pics of the inside of the front of the case though. Mar 16 22:09:01 abraxa_ when i have to use the touch for extra-buttons its a flawed concept Mar 16 22:10:01 but i'm in favor of a communicator style device sometime later after p1/p2 is done... no hurry and no half-baked solutions ;) Mar 16 22:10:20 Dunno, if one of the thumbs can reach up to the display and just activate the control you want to tab to then I don't really see a problem Mar 16 22:11:13 abraxa_ the problem is that this would be a hack. and it would break existing software and existing userinterfaces massively Mar 16 22:12:10 and i use tab that often while chatting/working in the shell that it woult render the device not worth its money. even the communicator has some kind of usable keyboard Mar 16 22:12:25 I'd dive into the topic more but honestly I think we're beating a dead horse here :) Mar 16 22:13:04 abraxa_ we are... as long as P1 is not finished its really wasted time. Mar 16 22:14:14 Yeah, let's spend it on more important things ;) Mar 16 22:16:42 hi, I've had a chance to play with an openmoko prototype for 2 evenings and wrote down a couple of observations / bugs that occurred to me. Where shall I report them? to openmoko-users? Mar 16 22:16:42 lyakh: See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FAQ (Hopefully this link answers your question. This autotrigger for new nick and question during first 15 minutes done only once.) Mar 16 22:18:12 lyakh take a look in the wiki and add your obervations there if not already in. if in doubt just ask here or on a discussion-page in the wiki Mar 16 22:18:44 roh, I'm also really interested as a potential future user. (-: Mar 16 22:20:25 paulproteus you mean the keyboard-variant of the moko i wanna have? Mar 16 22:20:54 Or add to the zilla Mar 16 22:22:51 Oops, I meant that to lyakh, not to roh. Mar 16 22:23:43 I think it is really better to post to a mailing list - this way respective developers will see the entries at least once, and can directly sort them out as new / redundant / irrelevant / ... Mar 16 22:24:08 The ML isn't really volume. Mar 16 22:24:12 you just seem to have too many of them Mar 16 22:24:51 exactly, SpeedEvil - too many lists for a relatively small (in terms of traffic) project Mar 16 22:25:26 hmmmm.. somehow the bootloader just switches off this moko when i do not type on the usbacm? Mar 16 22:46:17 does anyone know anything about the google phone? Mar 16 22:46:33 I've heard it will be a bit like the blackberry with google maps Mar 16 22:49:14 TimRiker, hi, do you have an idea how one can efficiently report some _possible_ bugs on o-moko? there are about a dozen mailing lists, no idea if they are read and which of them. Bugzilla entries for something that can in the end turn out to be no-issue are dull too Mar 16 22:49:53 the community mailing list is probably read by everyone Mar 16 22:50:14 ok, thanks, SpeedEvil, exactly what I needed to know! Mar 16 22:50:53 I don't think anyone knows. Mar 16 22:50:57 (gphone) Mar 16 22:51:19 I think that phase 1 experiences may best put onto the -devel list Mar 16 22:51:55 i'm sure it's going to be web 5.0 interactive community powered multi-tier enhanced aka. just great Mar 16 22:52:04 heh, comment to community@lists.openmoko.org: "Please Do not post usage or development questions here." - really helpful Mar 16 22:52:32 the google phone, that is Mar 16 22:52:54 Of course, they could simply all pile on openmoko to develop the OS. Mar 16 22:53:25 (script) wiki RecentChanges: [[Calculator]] [[Buying_Interest_List]] Mar 16 22:56:45 SpeedEvil: My clients will have a Neo, but I don't want them tampering with the phone (although replacing the battery will be ok). Is there some way to detect a new SIM card? Detect opening of the case? Mar 16 22:57:06 AIUI - yes, you can detect SIM change. Mar 16 22:57:20 SpeedEvil: I'd like to disable the phone upon tampering. Mar 16 22:57:26 You will need to lock down u-boot. Mar 16 22:57:34 And they could still reflash it with a debug board. Mar 16 22:57:44 DukeOfURL: Having you ask qyestions about locking down a designed-to-be-open phone is gonna get boring. Of course there are any number of ways for someone to get around anything you want to do. Mar 16 22:58:12 Why should I not be able to lock down phones that I buy as much as I like? Mar 16 22:58:16 Boring or not, I have requirements for the vertical market I'll be selling into. Mar 16 22:58:18 You've picked the single least appropriate phone to "disable on tampering". Mar 16 22:58:50 SpeedEvil: I'm not saying you don't have the freedom to, I'm saying that from an engineering standpoint, it's wildly impractical. Mar 16 22:59:01 Maybe for you. Mar 16 22:59:02 IMO, not really. u-boot with added password or crypto sum. Mar 16 22:59:14 glue in the debug connector. Mar 16 22:59:24 SpeedEvil: That was my thought, too Mar 16 22:59:31 The glue, that is Mar 16 22:59:39 Is u-boot going to be detecting the SIM change, or is the kernel that's gonna be the first thing that gets modified? Mar 16 22:59:49 How can the kernel be modified? Mar 16 22:59:56 I second cjb's position. There are plenty of reference phones to choose from. Why start with one specifically designed to be open to lock down? Mar 16 23:00:02 If you've disabled jtag, and added signatures to DFU? Mar 16 23:00:05 From userspace. u-boot does not have a monopoly on access to the NAND device. Mar 16 23:00:25 You're now playing the "stop the kernel from accessing the hardware" game, which is lost by definition. Mar 16 23:00:26 Well - just modify the kernel to dissalow NAND access. Mar 16 23:00:46 No, the kernel accessing it is fine - if you dissalow the user from changing it. Mar 16 23:01:14 Good luck with that. Mar 16 23:01:33 I would even say that such an effort would be poisoning the Neo1973 and OpenMoko brands. Mar 16 23:01:51 IMO, not. If I buy a phone, I get to do anything with it. Mar 16 23:02:10 Part of my freedom is to be able to lock it down as much as I like before giving it to my kids (for example) Mar 16 23:02:17 Disagree. This phone, with several specialized apps, will be used by people that have no concept of open source or openmoko. Mar 16 23:02:30 s/kids/employees/ Mar 16 23:02:30 SpeedEvil meant: Part of my freedom is to be able to lock it down as much as I like before giving it to my employees (for example) Mar 16 23:02:46 SpeedEvil: I've already said that I don't disagree with your freedom. Mar 16 23:02:59 You do not have freedom if it's hardware I purchase. Mar 16 23:03:06 If you RESELL a phone in bulk, you are in firmly in the area of trademark law. Mar 16 23:03:15 Right, since I own the phone my employees use, I'll do anything I like to keep them from tampering. Mar 16 23:03:38 That's a stretch. Mar 16 23:03:59 Ah, yes, in that case trademark law would not apply. Mar 16 23:04:20 IMO, locking down the phone is just fine, if the user is told it's locked down, and how it's locked down. Mar 16 23:04:46 For example, I would be quite happy with a phone locked to one carrier, at half the price, as long as I could install my own apps on it. Mar 16 23:04:54 I disagree. I think it's not a nice thing to do, specifically with this phone. Mar 16 23:05:14 And as long as there was some way to unlock it at the end of a contract if the user wishes. Mar 16 23:05:15 the user always has the option of buying their own neo and sim card if they don't want a locked down phone. that's the whole underlying premise of open source. Mar 16 23:05:23 Exactly. Mar 16 23:05:45 And if they buy their own phone then they won't have the specialized apps. Mar 16 23:06:06 I don't care about the morality so much as the ridiculous irony of choosing this phone to do it with. Mar 16 23:06:08 I don't see the big deal here - we're not talking about crippled re-sold Neos here Mar 16 23:06:20 Why irony? Mar 16 23:06:33 it's a platform that you can install your own apps on and give it to users. Mar 16 23:06:52 but the platform wasnt built to prevent them from changing it Mar 16 23:06:57 In fact, I'd like the Neo without any mention of FIC. Mar 16 23:07:09 the more fic, the better Mar 16 23:07:09 Unbranded Mar 16 23:07:22 if you buy enough, thats certainly possible ;) Mar 16 23:07:34 the company deserves credit for being the contractor in this one Mar 16 23:07:38 buz: the platform wasn't built to restrict your freedom to put whatever you like (including locking provisions for specialised apps) on it either. Mar 16 23:07:59 I don't see a way to get round it if you disable NAND access, glue the debug port, and require code signatures on upload. For average users. Mar 16 23:08:06 Maybe I'll manufacture my own case Mar 16 23:08:09 Of course, chiseling away the glue is possible, or ... Mar 16 23:08:14 rwhitby: not disagreeing there Mar 16 23:08:26 but one of those hypervisor based phones would probably be better for the job Mar 16 23:08:29 DukeOfURL: or just paint over the current one Mar 16 23:08:29 anyway, this discussion is a good one to have, specifically so the community knows how to get around such locking :-) Mar 16 23:08:55 :-)! Mar 16 23:09:01 IMO, there should be no way to get round it. If you don't want it locked, don't buy a subsidised locked one. Mar 16 23:09:28 And some locking is essentially benign. Mar 16 23:09:30 SpeedEvil: there will always be a way around it - it's just a matter of technical expertise and resources on the part of the recipient Mar 16 23:09:36 Sure. Mar 16 23:10:05 so if you're just looking for a way to lock in the absence of jtag, that's easy. Mar 16 23:10:06 However, in practice, from the hardware side, you're talking about making it uneconomic for the person down the local market to have a debug board and flash phones quickly. Mar 16 23:10:21 if you're looking to lock even in the presence of jtag, that's much harder. Mar 16 23:10:35 (without changing the underlying design) Mar 16 23:10:54 SpeedEvil: would there be a way to install a tamper switch that would disable the phone if the case were opened? Mar 16 23:11:01 a simple cut of the traces going to the debug connector would serve your purpose. Mar 16 23:11:05 The case needs opened to change the battery. Mar 16 23:11:33 No, I mean the back cover with the battery mount. Mar 16 23:11:41 buy the phone, program it, test it, cut the traces, done. Mar 16 23:11:47 Switches are hard. Mar 16 23:12:03 Why THIS phone? Can't we have one tiny corner of the cellular industry where we can pretend everybody is grownups and nobody wants to screw someone else? Mar 16 23:12:04 It depends what you're protecting. Mar 16 23:12:19 nnpiggy: exactly :) Mar 16 23:12:23 nnpiggy: this is not about screwing - don't paint a picture that is not there. Mar 16 23:12:29 Maybe the user is not a grownup Mar 16 23:12:35 Because - for example - it may be the cheapest way to implement a phone + GPS tracker for your employees. Mar 16 23:12:50 or children' Mar 16 23:13:00 Or it's your kids phone, and you don't want random people with access to the hardware the ability to add snooping apps. Mar 16 23:13:01 rwhitby: screwing people is the main purpose of long contracts and no clear connection of the usage and the cost Mar 16 23:13:22 guaqua: that's not what anyone is talking about here. Mar 16 23:13:30 7 years designing cellular infrastructure has left me with a bitter taste. Mar 16 23:13:33 well, to be blunt... Mar 16 23:13:42 it's what locking is mainly used for Mar 16 23:13:52 Oh yes, the "we must protect the children" argument. Mar 16 23:13:53 Buy your own phone, and you get none of the issues. Mar 16 23:14:07 If they are my children, then I get to protect them. Mar 16 23:14:14 * nnpiggy has noticed he's flaming, so he's going to go quiet for a while... Mar 16 23:14:37 I expect my children to have mobiles before they can reliably enter passwords. Mar 16 23:14:46 gentlemen, you need to be able to separate technical arguments from freedom arguments. Mar 16 23:14:56 I do not want the phone to be trojanable, however unlikely that is. Mar 16 23:15:02 well who in this scenario of yours is going to tamper with the software of your kid's phone? Mar 16 23:15:04 who's flaming? This is an intelligent discussion with many different points of view. Mar 16 23:15:26 if someone wants to have a technical discussion about how to do things with this platform, please don't try and turn it into a freedom discussion. both have their places, and should be able to be discussed separately. Mar 16 23:15:31 guaqua: Anyone who wants to snoop on them or me. Mar 16 23:15:33 Maybe he himself will tamper with it. Mar 16 23:15:47 SpeedEvil: and how are they going to succeed in it? Mar 16 23:15:47 For whatever reason. Mar 16 23:16:08 The phone will have no password - as it's for a 5 year old. - for example. Mar 16 23:16:24 I do not want anyone other than me to be able to install anything on the phone. Mar 16 23:16:30 When I say children I mean teens with a driver's license. Mar 16 23:16:31 and for what reason would a 5-year old need a phone? Mar 16 23:16:35 SpeedEvil: don't feel you need to justify your reasons. stick to the technical discussion. Mar 16 23:16:44 SpeedEvil: This is what I need in the phone: http://dovelet.en.alibaba.com/product/50156162/51223873/Gas_Sensors/Ethanol_and_Alcohol_Sensor.html Mar 16 23:16:56 guaqua: why even ask that question? it's his phone. Mar 16 23:16:57 Fundamentally. Mar 16 23:17:03 I buy the phone, I make the rules. Mar 16 23:17:16 You drive my truck, I make the rules. Mar 16 23:17:17 i'd like to hear some other possible scenarios where locking would be necessary Mar 16 23:17:19 The kid/employee buys the phone, he makes the rules. Mar 16 23:17:37 If the phone has a time managment app on it for employees. Mar 16 23:17:38 I pay for the phone calls you make, I make the rules. Mar 16 23:17:56 you want to make the rules, swap in your own sim. Mar 16 23:17:57 SpeedEvil: that i can understand Mar 16 23:17:59 Or whatever that they could make money from by tampering. Mar 16 23:18:11 SpeedEvil: you could make the app only work if a certain sim is inserted, but still allow other sims. Mar 16 23:18:21 but in general i see very little morally sound reasons for locking a phone Mar 16 23:18:22 Err - no. Mar 16 23:18:37 please separate morality from technical discussions. Mar 16 23:18:39 For most apps you don't care about the SIM. Mar 16 23:19:14 For example if it's a employee tracking app, or a data entry app, or ... The employee does not get to alter existing data. Mar 16 23:19:17 rwhitby: well it's kinda late since it started as one? Mar 16 23:19:52 guaqua: no, SpeedEvil started this as a technical discussion of how to lock a phone. Mar 16 23:19:53 Of course, if there is enough money in it, you're going to need to invest in a secure platform, as there are ways to get round this locking. Mar 16 23:20:42 sorry, DukeOfURL actually started the technical discussion. Mar 16 23:20:52 well, off course if you despise ideological conversation Mar 16 23:20:55 i might as well shut up Mar 16 23:21:06 and forget the fundamental ideas of open source Mar 16 23:21:16 guaqua: I love ideological discussions. but separate from technical ones. Mar 16 23:21:35 guaqua: check my open source record at www.rwhitby.net if you like. Mar 16 23:21:44 cut the cords, wasn't that it? Mar 16 23:21:54 With my finances as they are - I might even be willing to look at 'free' neo phones with relatively long contracts. Even if this means the MSPs apps are #1 and #2 in the list, and it's locked to their provider. As long as I can add my own apps that can take over the display and other hardware. Mar 16 23:21:57 This is not about open source, it's about buying phones from FIC and placing them in very specialized vertical markets. Mar 16 23:22:19 i have seen no real conversation about technology related Mar 16 23:22:23 As the cheapest phone contract I've found for data would give me a 'free' phone in many cases. Mar 16 23:22:33 which I don't want. Mar 16 23:22:58 (t-mobile, 7 pound 50 GPRS unlimited, but only with 30 quid/mo contract) Mar 16 23:23:21 Is that the walled garden? Mar 16 23:23:25 No. Mar 16 23:23:36 AIUI. 'web and walk' Mar 16 23:23:56 fair use of 40M/day Mar 16 23:24:00 which is very reasonable. Mar 16 23:24:39 Assuming the alcohol sensor is a variable resistance device, is there anywhere to connect it to the Neo? Mar 16 23:24:52 There is going to be an exposed I2C bus. Mar 16 23:24:54 guaqua: an equally good technical discussion to have is how to break such locking schemes. Mar 16 23:25:13 You can hook whatever to that I2C bus, including ADCs. Mar 16 23:25:28 cool Mar 16 23:25:45 01:11 < rwhitby> buy the phone, program it, test it, cut the traces, done. Mar 16 23:25:47 there was it Mar 16 23:25:53 thermometers, extra USB host chips, memory, audio mixers, ... Mar 16 23:25:56 if you don't have both technical arguments (without separating the equally valid ideological discussion), then you will never have the technical tools you need to implement your ideology. Mar 16 23:27:13 And is it really true that any user can fiddle with the NAND? If so that's a bit broken. Mar 16 23:27:42 SpeedEvil: only root or someone with uboot access Mar 16 23:27:49 Ah, that makes sense. Mar 16 23:27:52 (or JTAG) Mar 16 23:27:53 SpeedEvil: but then again, anyone can take a hammer to your phone Mar 16 23:28:04 Is the NAND physically removable? Mar 16 23:28:07 Taking a hammer to the phone doesn't get them the data. Mar 16 23:28:10 yes. Mar 16 23:28:14 it's annoying, but possible. Mar 16 23:28:23 Keeping the key in RAM helps. Mar 16 23:28:50 then it becomes really annoying to extract it and decrypt whatever's on the NAND. Mar 16 23:29:16 SpeedEvil: anyone with access to the jtag traces on the board can get to the nand. Mar 16 23:29:21 Sure. Mar 16 23:29:26 Doesn't help if it's encrypted. Mar 16 23:29:51 Though of course there are ways to get the key. Mar 16 23:29:59 yep, and that's an important technical point for data privacy reasons too. Mar 16 23:30:22 (i.e. you don't want someone who finds your lost phone able to get to the jtag traces and read your bank details) Mar 16 23:30:26 You pretty much need a modified case with tamper detection at least to protect from that. Mar 16 23:30:54 yeah - mistype PIN a couple of times, and bang goes the in-RAM key. Mar 16 23:31:03 you've got to enter a much longer passphrase to enable. Mar 16 23:31:12 tamper detection done properly will be cost prohibitive for this price range. Mar 16 23:31:15 Optional of course. Mar 16 23:31:20 small amount of C4 inside ya phone, if you lose it, BOOM, no more data on phone, no more phone! Mar 16 23:31:22 hehe Mar 16 23:31:32 hehehe Mar 16 23:31:34 no, THERMITE Mar 16 23:31:43 heh Mar 16 23:32:12 Ever see what a thermite grenade does to a mortar tube? Mar 16 23:32:49 DukeOfURL: NAND is soldered on, but can be removed with the right tools of course. Mar 16 23:33:18 ok, my users aren't that smart. but their friends may be. Mar 16 23:33:56 this has been a good discussion. Thank you SpeedEvil and rwhitby and others. Mar 16 23:34:24 now, we can discuss how to break such schemes :-) Mar 16 23:34:35 anyone heard of pogo-pins? Mar 16 23:34:56 what's that? Mar 16 23:35:04 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogo_pin Mar 16 23:35:13 If someone has hardware access to the phone, and it has the key still in RAM, then you are vulnerable to skilled funded opponents. Mar 16 23:35:37 you design a board with pogo-pins in the right places, and some way to align it with the device under test, and it gets you access to jtag traces. Mar 16 23:35:43 These however are not the people 99.999% of people have to worry about. Mar 16 23:35:57 ah, ok Mar 16 23:36:23 especially with P0 - they need to keep it powered all the way to their specialised lab :-) Mar 16 23:36:31 About the SIM, my RAZR stores the address book on the SIM. How many entries will the SIM handle? Mar 16 23:36:35 If you have a one-time-pad in the phone, then you may be worried about them :) Mar 16 23:36:42 DukeOfURL: depends on the size of the sim Mar 16 23:36:50 Cingular Mar 16 23:36:51 (you can get 64Kb, 256Kb, etc I think) Mar 16 23:37:07 my first SIM card would only hold up to about 50 contacts Mar 16 23:37:14 haven't managed to fill the current one Mar 16 23:37:37 wikipedia says "SIMs are available in many storage sizes, the largest being the 512 KB SIM. Smaller sized SIMs such as the 32 KB and 16 KB are most prevalent in area with less developed GSM networks. There are also Large Memory SIMs, in the order of 128 - 512 Mega Bytes." Mar 16 23:37:55 Can the phone determine the format of the user data on the SIM? Mar 16 23:38:28 DukeOfURL the format is the same. afaik standardized in some part of gsm Mar 16 23:38:44 there's got to be some kind of standard, as you can keep your contacts while switching phones Mar 16 23:38:53 DukeOfURL just the amount of contacts/sms and such is limited and different from size to size Mar 16 23:39:13 yeah, the interface to the sim is in the 3gpp specs. Mar 16 23:39:18 hi Mar 16 23:39:20 Is there a user-defined field in the address book that we can play with? Mar 16 23:39:47 Is there some kind of emulation available for the neo1973? Mar 16 23:39:57 faq? Mar 16 23:39:57 See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FAQ Mar 16 23:39:59 if you want to deter desoldering, just smear epoxy over the chips. it won't make it impossible, but will deter it, and you should definitely be able to tell if it was tampered with at least. Mar 16 23:40:02 * SpeedEvil points at the URL. Mar 16 23:40:16 yes Mar 16 23:40:28 I promised the wife I would take her to dinner. Thanks for all your input. Mar 16 23:40:37 To make it really annoying - squirt it _under_ the chips. Mar 16 23:40:44 mine here holds 250 contacts + 20sms or so.. i store most data on the phone. faster access and more fields for contacts than on the sim Mar 16 23:40:45 Amongst the balls. Mar 16 23:41:01 TS 11.14 is one of the main sim specs I think Mar 16 23:41:49 Hmm. Mar 16 23:42:05 I wonder what'd happen if you put a small bit of pyro stuff under the NAND. Mar 16 23:42:10 After soldering. Mar 16 23:42:19 That'd burst into flame at 200C. Mar 16 23:42:44 Not much flame. Just enough to shatter the chip. Mar 16 23:42:54 SpeedEvil if you want to secure data nothing will help. Mar 16 23:43:00 Yeah - I know. Mar 16 23:43:05 You need a secure case. Mar 16 23:43:05 crypt it, or just forget it Mar 16 23:43:08 Tamper detection. Mar 16 23:43:17 and destroy the key on tamper. Mar 16 23:43:23 SpeedEvil kiddieshit.. look at paytv and learn Mar 16 23:43:36 Yes, I know all the assorted tricks. Mar 16 23:43:47 The right way to do it is to put it all on one die. Mar 16 23:43:55 Then it gets really quite expensive indeed. Mar 16 23:44:41 wrong.. you would need crypto on multiple places. e.g. crypted ram which gets crypted and decrypted on the cpu. so tapping ram does not help Mar 16 23:44:51 "neo", the first phone with self-destructing memory Mar 16 23:45:12 it could actually sell Mar 16 23:45:17 I know. I've written on this. I was meaning _all_ on one die. Mar 16 23:45:23 NAND, CPU, RAM Mar 16 23:45:29 horribly expensive of course. Mar 16 23:45:46 not really..., look at sigma designs soc Mar 16 23:46:56 they call it secure multimedia soc or so.. can crypt ram, flash and has a embedded otp for signatures/keys Mar 16 23:47:12 and the hardware sells for <200E customerprice Mar 16 23:47:46 Yeah - I was meaning one with 128M RAM, 64M flash, cpu similar to neo, ... Mar 16 23:49:04 SpeedEvil its a mips core but its the same range of power.. just not the same mechanical size Mar 16 23:50:52 Security is easy. Mar 16 23:51:03 Cheap, small, well-done security is hard. Mar 16 23:51:55 rwhitby: Do you happen to have PMs on ignore by chance? Mar 16 23:52:00 the first one is not what it says it is then Mar 17 00:03:43 the neo1973's bluetooth hasn't got a2dp according to that it is not mentioned in the wiki Mar 17 00:12:38 hmm, anybody here know if it is possible to blacklist a stolen mobile due to his IMEI in germany? Mar 17 00:12:45 abraxa_: I only accept PMs from registered nicks Mar 17 00:13:01 GF lost his phone. :( SIM is already blacklisted. Mar 17 00:13:23 stefan_schmidt: Yeah, if you have the IMEI you can blacklist it Mar 17 00:13:52 rwhitby: Oh, that explains it then... was gonna talk to you about the makefile Mar 17 00:13:59 abraxa_: Nice. Do you have an url off hand? Mar 17 00:14:41 Back in the day I had to call up the Telekom to have them do it - with that I guess it depends on your carrier Mar 17 00:15:13 abraxa_: feel free to discuss MokoMakefile in channel Mar 17 00:15:34 abraxa_: OK, thanks Mar 17 00:16:18 Alrighty then - first off I'd like to know whether the MACHINE="x86" option in local.conf is supported or whether it's a mere hack Mar 17 00:17:24 abraxa_: MokoMakefile is just a wrapper around OM/OE, so the question boils down to whether OM will build for MACHINE=x86. And the answer is yes, there are reports of that building (and I've built it previously myself) Mar 17 00:17:35 Awesome. Mar 17 00:17:50 abraxa_: *sigh* It seems eplus only support SIM blacklist and not IMEI blacklist: (German) http://www.eplus.de/frame.asp?go=http%3A//www.eplus.de/kundenservice/0/0/0_onlinehilfe_suche_ausgabe.asp%3FTyp%3DDokument%26SubTyp1%3DFAQ%26SubTyp2%3DDownload%26Eingabe1%3Dsperren%26Eingabe2%3D%26Eingabe3%3D%26Verknuepfung1%3DAND%26Verknuepfung2%3D%26Verknuepfung3%3D%26Sortierung%3DRanking%26AusgabeSeite%3D0%255Fonlinehilfe%255Fsuche%255Fausgabe%252Easp Mar 17 00:18:03 uh, sorry for the long link Mar 17 00:18:14 that's one of the key benefits of using OpenEmbedded - it tries to be orthogonal with respect to distros and machines. Mar 17 00:19:02 (that's why it's more complex than other build systems which are not designed for the same level of orthogonality) Mar 17 00:20:10 rwhitby (if you missed it earlier--i g2g now tho), I cleared out build/tmp, and am getting this again, so the dependency disappeared or something: "configure: error: can't find confuse library" for ftdi-eeprom-native-0.2-r1 Mar 17 00:21:06 I tried building my environment using said option and ran into three problems: one being a problem with the kernel makefile breaking due to brackets in $KERNELRELEASE and the other two were results of 404s when trying to download files needed for compilation. I'm not familiar with bitbake so I wondered if you can add the alternative download locations I found or not - can you? Mar 17 00:21:41 jebba: ftdi-eeprom-native definitely has the depends on confuse-native. did you clean the package before the rebuild Mar 17 00:21:42 jebba i had this problem too earlier Mar 17 00:22:13 ok, it seems only vodafone supports this in .de This makes it pretty useless for a unlocked tri-band phone. Mar 17 00:22:17 jebba you mean make openmoko-devel-tools ? Mar 17 00:22:46 abraxa_: downloads.openmoko.org/sources should have all sources required. Mar 17 00:22:52 sry, will take a look when i get back, but I did blow out tmp entirely Mar 17 00:23:01 jebba: hmm - that should have done it then. Mar 17 00:23:34 stefan_schmidt it does not help at all in getting back the fone since it will work in other countrys.. in about 70% of the latter Mar 17 00:23:50 each time I run this too: `make update-makefile && make update && time make all` Mar 17 00:24:34 jebba: yep, that should do it - you might want to put a make setup after the make update, just in case the build dir structure changes in the future (in which case, make setup will make that change for you) Mar 17 00:24:37 blowing tmp away again and I'll let it process while i'm gone. thanks. Mar 17 00:25:06 hmm, why does http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OEandYourDistro suggest to not have dash for /bin/sh? Bashisms in the code? Mar 17 00:25:23 abraxa_: dunno about the kernel problem. Mar 17 00:25:40 LarstiQ: yes, bashism in upstream code in many packages. Mar 17 00:25:41 roh: Of course, but it would still be nice to make sure it is not useable in .de Mar 17 00:25:50 rwhitby: ok, so not going to be fixed anytime soon Mar 17 00:25:51 jebba hm.. i have the same problem here... only ubuntu dapper libconfuse-dev installed... i will take a look at that later Mar 17 00:26:06 LarstiQ: well, you can patch it in OE, but it's a long battle ... Mar 17 00:26:19 * LarstiQ weeps and parts ways with dash Mar 17 00:26:33 rwhitby: yeah, for now I just want to build moko Mar 17 00:26:48 LarstiQ: it may be only a few cases. you choose your battles according to your free time :-) Mar 17 00:27:26 rwhitby: aye :) Mar 17 00:27:33 roh, but i don't think it's "confuse" on the host box, but on the target build dev Mar 17 00:27:51 jebba, roh: it should be using the confuse lib that OE builds. Mar 17 00:28:31 rwhitby: http://abraxa.dyndns.org:81/404.txt is what I'm experiencing, for example Mar 17 00:29:18 abraxa_: that means that no-one in OM core team has built that package before. Mar 17 00:29:34 rwhitby it doesn't Mar 17 00:29:59 jebba: have you tried installing the package libconfuse? Mar 17 00:30:18 roh: that's a bug then. Mar 17 00:30:24 you shouldn't need to install libconfuse. Mar 17 00:30:41 as a work-around, bitbake confuse-native first. Mar 17 00:30:50 okay. Mar 17 00:31:02 thanks for the info (if i run into similar problem) Mar 17 00:31:20 rwhitby: I see. I went ahead and got myself a copy of the failing file and put it into source/ but the script still tries to download it - is there anything I can do about that? Mar 17 00:31:35 I can be an beta tester for openmoko: I will test how it works on trashy gsm networks XD Mar 17 00:31:44 ya, i figure the workaround easily enough, i'm just going for the `rm -rf tmp/ && make all` & runaway with a working build. Mar 17 00:31:52 but now i really g2g ;) thanks rwhitby Mar 17 00:31:52 abraxa_: you need to create the .md5sum file, and perhaps touch the stamp file Mar 17 00:31:58 jebba: I got to go to. Mar 17 00:32:11 Alrighty, thanks :) Mar 17 00:32:37 rwhitby seems like a bug.. trying the workaround Mar 17 00:32:47 but I don't have money to spend, so I'm off (here U$S350 are $1050 lol) Mar 17 00:34:42 maybe if there is launched a lower end phone I can be interested but ATM nothing Mar 17 00:35:17 There is unlikely to be cheaper phones launched this year IMO. Mar 17 00:37:12 well I only tell a joke (read above :P) Mar 17 00:37:46 Yeah - it's a common question though. Mar 17 00:40:21 gprs 2.5g? I never heard of that Mar 17 00:43:02 * LarstiQ blinks at monotone refusing to migrate Mar 17 00:43:30 bbl.. have to go to the bar now... 1:43am Mar 17 00:46:30 * nonickatm wishes that the "thing that everyone has asking for" be a camera Mar 17 00:47:20 * SpeedEvil wants a pony. Mar 17 00:47:32 A phone you can just feed grass. Mar 17 00:47:42 :P Mar 17 00:48:45 i'd prefer wifi Mar 17 00:49:30 You could hang a couple of lead-acid batteries, and a wifi-bluetooth router on the pony. Mar 17 00:49:46 hehe Mar 17 00:49:51 heh Mar 17 00:49:59 heh Mar 17 00:50:26 i could set up my palm as a wifi - bluetooth bridge, but that defeats the point of buying a single device to replace my phone, ipod and PDA Mar 17 00:51:06 also, i've decided i'm going to use libipod so that i can make the moko emulate an ipod :D Mar 17 00:51:09 Wifi is something I really could use too. I'm even considering ripping out the BT board and subbing a wifi one. Mar 17 00:51:16 itunes integration ^___^ Mar 17 00:54:26 (script) wiki RecentChanges: [[Calendar]] Mar 17 00:54:27 theoretically, i could change the usb vendor / product id, and make things think its an ipod Mar 17 00:54:55 SpeedEvil: If that's feasible I'll consider doing the same... it would be quite tempting Mar 17 00:55:43 I _think_ it is - the module looks a compatible size in the pictures. Mar 17 00:56:11 Worth some thought for sure :) Mar 17 01:01:56 can anyone please me to get the toolchain of openmoko ? Mar 17 01:01:57 suma: See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FAQ (Hopefully this link answers your question. This autotrigger for new nick and question during first 15 minutes done only once.) Mar 17 01:02:05 i'm using fedora core 6 Mar 17 01:02:12 thanks Mar 17 01:08:10 god, i love that bot ^__^ Mar 17 01:11:39 parag0n: really not Mar 17 01:12:08 parag0n: I could not get the instructions to install it on fc6 Mar 17 01:12:33 have you tried mokomakefile? Mar 17 01:12:36 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/OpenEmbedded <--- went to this page Mar 17 01:12:45 not yet Mar 17 01:12:49 does it works ? Mar 17 01:12:53 i (finally) got that to work on ubuntu feisty yesterday :D Mar 17 01:12:56 suma: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MokoMakefile Mar 17 01:12:59 yes it does :) Mar 17 01:13:06 i c Mar 17 01:13:42 will give a try now Mar 17 01:15:03 in fact I am updating & building a new image with it right at this moment Mar 17 01:33:09 a question: if we found both a wifi adapter and a camera that has got GPLed drivers is possible that both can be present in the final neo1973? Mar 17 01:33:19 have got* Mar 17 01:34:01 I have a dilemma :S Mar 17 01:34:15 PDA vs laptop.. and a tight budget Mar 17 01:34:29 or OpenMoko vs. laptop :) Mar 17 01:34:40 *Neo1973 that is Mar 17 01:35:26 camera is problematic from a packaging point of vier. Mar 17 01:35:36 It tends to use quite a lot of internal volume. Mar 17 01:36:13 For example, swapping the GPS for a camera would probably be quite possible. Mar 17 01:36:42 well but a small vga camera only for quickies wouldn't be bad Mar 17 01:36:45 Cameras tend not to have drivers as such. Mar 17 01:36:51 maybe it could be allowed for the camera to be plugged over USB? Mar 17 01:36:55 Being very simple chips. Mar 17 01:38:13 hmm, the Phase1 Neo specs are the same as current ones, right? Mar 17 01:38:28 almost Mar 17 01:38:38 what's different? Mar 17 01:38:39 bugfix, and exposing more pads for soldering Mar 17 01:38:54 there are no user visible differences other than the bugfixes. Mar 17 01:39:04 ok.. Mar 17 01:39:39 the thing is.. I'm going to iCommons 2007 here in Croatia and I've no laptop nor a PDA.. hence no connectivity except for a plain mobile phone I have now.. Mar 17 01:39:51 :/ Mar 17 01:39:56 and I'm considering a laptop, but it's expensive.. Mar 17 01:40:01 Ebay! Mar 17 01:40:07 so now I'm thinking.. maybe I should just go for a PDA Mar 17 01:40:10 oh Mar 17 01:40:21 hmm yeah I didn't look at ebay much yet.. Mar 17 01:40:31 Older laptops can work well. Mar 17 01:40:36 It depends what you want. Mar 17 01:41:53 yeah.. well most of my work is still on the desktop and I like the flexibility of a desktop (it can easily be extended, parts replaced etc.), but then again I could go for a strong laptop to serve as a desktop too.. Mar 17 01:42:04 saying since I want to extend desktop as well a bit.. Mar 17 01:42:24 but the real burning purpose of a laptop would be merely connectivity when I'm away from home Mar 17 01:42:33 so I guess anything would do.. Mar 17 01:43:26 I'm thinking maybe I should just get Neo :P Mar 17 01:43:36 since I intend to later in the year anyway.. Mar 17 01:43:58 but if I'm not getting a laptop I have to get Neo before June (cause that's when iCommons is) Mar 17 01:44:54 but I don't want to buy it twice (when a better version comes out) :D Mar 17 01:45:02 or maybe I should ;) Mar 17 01:45:27 ok I'm done ranting Mar 17 01:47:07 yeah I am debating with myself over the "buy it twice" dilemma too libervisco Mar 17 01:47:40 if we could get a discount on the second buy.. :P Mar 17 01:48:14 if the second release is not very far away, then I can probably wait. but i think no one really knows when P1+ is? Mar 17 01:48:33 September at the earliest from what I know Mar 17 01:49:05 I have much to learn about developing gtk apps anyways Mar 17 01:49:56 counter Mar 17 01:49:56 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973 P1: 2 weeks, a day 10:10:03 (15.424 +-7.0 days) (554) Mar 17 01:50:00 counter? Mar 17 01:50:00 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973 source: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MokoMakefile ; P0: devices shipped at 2007-03-05; 2 weeks, a day 10:09:59 (15.424 +-7.0 days) for devices for *ANYBODY* for $350 (targeting developers) (preorders: not yet) (2007-03-31); 6 months, 6 days (183.424 +-15.0 days) for mass market (2007-09-15): see topic for more info (555) Mar 17 01:50:53 Yeah, middle of September Mar 17 01:51:28 yeah, but i think some people were talking about a possible hardware revision before then? Mar 17 01:51:57 between P1 and P2 yeah Mar 17 01:52:10 that'd fall in the summer Mar 17 01:52:14 P1.5 or something Mar 17 01:52:24 yeah Mar 17 01:53:26 (script) wiki RecentChanges: [[Wish_List_-_Hardware]] [[PIM_Storage]] Mar 17 01:54:42 did anyone make a video demo of Neo yet? Mar 17 01:59:43 libervisco, I don't recall seeing any Mar 17 01:59:57 * peepsalot can't wait for the programming books he ordered to arrive Mar 17 02:00:16 http://www.flickr.com/photos/imran/414783148/in/pool-openmoko/ isn't it a bit small? :) Mar 17 02:00:41 hmm well it's still bigger than my mobile's screen I guess Mar 17 02:02:54 it would be neat if you could plug Neo into a computer and have its picture show on a big screen.. or can it already do that? Mar 17 02:03:11 in theory yes Mar 17 02:03:57 you can make it run vnc over usbnet, presumably. Probably not readily available in the GUI though ;P Mar 17 02:03:58 http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=414944631&context=pool-339900@N21&size=l that resolution is insane. might need a microscope to read the text Mar 17 02:04:17 ah.. can I ssh from a PC to Neo? Mar 17 02:04:34 yes Mar 17 02:04:52 well that helps against the small console text then :P Mar 17 02:05:23 peepsalot: the font on boot is pretty tiny indeed, but still readable and sharp Mar 17 02:05:38 use a magnifier :D Mar 17 02:06:02 well GUI is better probably Mar 17 02:06:31 gui is useless right now =) Mar 17 02:06:33 subpixel fonts will look really good Mar 17 02:06:34 n8 all Mar 17 02:06:44 useless? Mar 17 02:06:50 ah.. nn CoreDump|afk Mar 17 02:07:21 Effectively useless. In such a prototype state it doesn't really function. Mar 17 02:07:38 koen had a neo to show off at the conf in brazil Mar 17 02:07:52 looks nice, can't wait to tinker with one Mar 17 02:09:19 will GUI be useful on P1? Mar 17 02:10:34 have people been getting the p0 model? how is the software? Mar 17 02:10:55 koen had some kind of prerelease p0 i guess Mar 17 02:11:10 the software is... under construction Mar 17 02:11:38 Does it have the address book? Mar 17 02:11:50 anyone know why mtn was chosen instead of svn? Mar 17 02:11:53 i wish they;d make a light blue / white neo like the pre-release devices they had at that show Mar 17 02:12:05 you mean instead of git :P Mar 17 02:12:21 anyway, bedtime Mar 17 02:12:49 well, i don't even really know much about git or mtn. just curious Mar 17 02:13:02 svn seems to be the standard in most cases Mar 17 02:13:02 peepsalot: mtn/git/etc. are distributed, svn isn't Mar 17 02:13:54 so no main host server is necessary? Mar 17 02:14:13 is it mirrored or federated? Mar 17 02:15:16 well I gave up camera isn't necesary for neo1973, just use an external one Mar 17 02:15:17 DukeOfURL, i don't think there is any functional address book software yet. not from what I have seen Mar 17 02:16:01 k Mar 17 02:16:07 so, I wonder if the rumoured feature in the mass market release is going to be wifi after all. any news on that? Mar 17 02:16:12 will P1 be better in that regard? Mar 17 02:16:29 (software, GUI etc. I mean) Mar 17 02:16:53 because if we put a camera, it will be a mess only for some trashy photos that can't be used for nothing Mar 17 02:17:17 maybe the feature is powered usb 2.0 :p Mar 17 02:17:27 peepsalot: with distributed version control basically you can commit to your own tree, and sync with other people's trees Mar 17 02:17:52 if the gsm chip handles the SIP, will address book functions have to be part of gsmd? Mar 17 02:18:09 will gsmd be open? Mar 17 02:19:05 gsm hanlding sip? eh? Mar 17 02:20:08 DukeOfURL: gsmd is open... Mar 17 02:31:50 All this source is yours, except gpsd, attempt no compiling there. Mar 17 02:33:01 Even bad cameras work for barcodes and data entry sorts of apps. Mar 17 02:33:38 Huh? what about gpsd? Mar 17 02:34:27 SpeedEvil, heh Mar 17 02:35:46 gpsd is the bit with the closed-source gps plugin. Mar 17 02:36:04 (and it was a bad 2001 reference)/ Mar 17 02:37:27 as in Hal? Mar 17 02:38:23 Yes. Mar 17 02:38:54 And I meant 2010. Mar 17 02:39:13 always a sequel Mar 17 02:40:42 i thought it was quite a good reference Mar 17 02:40:44 :) Mar 17 02:43:22 * aevin listens to panel debate with Sean M-P, recorded a month ago http://www.linuxworld.com/news/2007/021407-podcast-n2.html Mar 17 02:43:32 setting your neo back to factory should be done with a program that acts like HAL in 2010 when he is reactivated :P Mar 17 02:44:02 from memory, it was Hello Doctor Name Continue Yesterday Tomorrow **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Mar 17 02:59:56 2007
