That should get me headed in the right direction. :) Jul 04 04:12:48 np Jul 04 08:10:39 onen|openBmap: In case you need to upgrade again and it segfaults - while read package; do opkg upgrade "$package"; done < <(opkg list_upgradable | awk '{print $1}') Jul 04 08:12:20 azaghal: thanks! Jul 04 08:12:29 It'll upgrade packages one by one. Jul 04 08:12:38 * onen|openBmap feels like stupid not having done this by himself Jul 04 08:13:29 Hm...

Read the wiki for detailed instructions.

Jul 04 11:58:35 LOL Jul 04 11:58:53 its looks like iphone but not iphone firmware Jul 04 11:58:56 ian202: just read the wiki it has all the information you need. Jul 04 11:59:09 ian202: a) you're hard to understand b) you say nonsense c) IMO FR isn't for you Jul 04 11:59:17 dos1++ Jul 04 11:59:21 to be true i am not able to understand Jul 04 11:59:47 Communication breakdown, it's always the same Jul 04 11:59:48 i can understand that Jul 04 11:59:57 but i am trying to learn Jul 04 12:00:10 You have a freerunner phone? Or are you trying to install onto something else? Jul 04 12:00:31 is it possible to flash the openmoko through memory card Jul 04 12:00:42 i have only few icon in my phone Jul 04 12:01:15 ian202: i've already told you yes, it's possible. Jul 04 12:01:21 contect, dailer, maps, setting,massage, soduku nothing else Jul 04 12:01:24 ian202: you need a uSD you can boot from Jul 04 12:01:38 ian202: then you do flasherase_all - nandwrite combo Jul 04 12:01:43 it's possible, yes, but it's harder than just flashing by usb Jul 04 12:02:13 i am uesing xp Jul 04 12:02:13 ian202: FR is a small portable GNU/Linux capable computer, you need to think about it that way. Jul 04 12:02:25 ian202: asking again - why can't you just use dfu-util? Jul 04 12:02:32 all needed examples are on wiki Jul 04 12:02:35 just copy-paste... Jul 04 12:02:39 * PaulFertser thought it's common for India inhabitants to understand english properly... Jul 04 12:03:22 let me tell you what i have done Jul 04 12:03:45 its ask me to download dfu-util Jul 04 12:03:50 i have done that Jul 04 12:03:53 ian202: who asks? Jul 04 12:04:18 therefor i have created the mini gw but its not working Jul 04 12:04:35 so finaly i desided to flash uesing memory card Jul 04 12:04:36 Mini gw!

Jul 04 12:07:25 your fault :P Jul 04 12:07:29 it's not for you... Jul 04 12:07:47 I don't think it's really very hidden that it's not a consumer-ready phone. Jul 04 12:08:29 Freerunner != iPhone Jul 04 12:08:33 umm Jul 04 12:08:52 freerunner is smartphone sized GNU/Linux box for developers, geeks and power linux users Jul 04 12:08:55 can anybody tell me that how to do that step by step Jul 04 12:09:12 with ability to make phone calls :P Jul 04 12:09:15 i have def-utili with me Jul 04 12:10:47 Where are you ian202? Jul 04 12:10:57 please help me out in simple words Jul 04 12:11:31 ian202: it's impossible Jul 04 12:11:47 The problem is that even if someone can help you get it flashed - there isn't really much you can do without learning a _LOT_. Jul 04 12:12:03 ian202: it's like an elementary schoolboy asks to help him solve diffirential equations. Jul 04 12:12:04 SpeedEvil: ++ Jul 04 12:12:31 but if someone can help me i can do it Jul 04 12:12:43 i have unbuntu in my notebook Jul 04 12:13:08 it is _NOT_ at the state of ubuntu on notebooks Jul 04 12:13:22 That's almost usable by someone with little knowledge.. Jul 04 12:13:35 please help me Jul 04 12:13:36 Owing to hundreds of man-years of effort. Jul 04 12:13:52 i have spent my week over it and lots of money Jul 04 12:14:09 ian202: have you read the ML before you considered buying it?

Jul 04 12:14:40 ian202: iphone rootfs? Jul 04 12:14:54 yes Jul 04 12:15:50 hahhahahhahahahhahahhahhahahh Jul 04 12:15:50 ian202: well, it doesn't make sense Jul 04 12:16:03 You absolutely can't flash the iphone OS on it. Jul 04 12:16:08 ian202: even if we provided you directions how to do it. Jul 04 12:16:13 SpeedEvil: why? I think he can. Jul 04 12:16:16 (well - without man-years of work.) Jul 04 12:16:28 i have computer with xp a 2gb memory card two files iPhoneOS_rootfs_20090401.jffs2, uImage nd openmoko device Jul 04 12:16:30 ian202: you can flash any junk to device. But it doesn't mean it will run. Jul 04 12:16:32 can't flash the iphone OS on it and have it boot. Jul 04 12:16:48 ian202: Ok - you can't do that. It will never work. Jul 04 12:17:21 For much the same way horses don't work as transport if you feed them petrol. Jul 04 12:18:09 i got these file from Jul 04 12:18:23 unfortunately, it sounds like you know _way_ less than you need to to be able to do much productive with the phone. Jul 04 12:18:44 perhaps Jul 04 12:19:37 http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/neo1973-freerunner/26084-iphoneos-freerunner.html Jul 04 12:19:54 i got these file from http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/neo1973-freerunner/26084-iphoneos-freerunner.html Jul 04 12:20:41 or anyother firmware like qutopia wich will have all the multimedia application to run my phone Jul 04 12:21:06 The referenced wiki page states it's an april fool's; http://openmoko-fr.org/wiki/index.php/IPhoneOS_on_Freerunner Jul 04 12:21:29 k Jul 04 12:21:56 anyother good firmware with good application and how to flash it uesing memory card Jul 04 12:22:35 Nothing's better than iphoneos Jul 04 12:23:13 i mean to say for openmoko phone Jul 04 12:23:27 ian202: it's a development platform, not a phone Jul 04 12:23:41 i can understand Jul 04 12:23:55 but master always help to newbees Jul 04 12:24:08 ? Jul 04 12:24:29 The problem is that you don't need one or two minutes help. Jul 04 12:24:37 You need weeks, or months. Jul 04 12:24:54 There are some images that mostly work as a phone Jul 04 12:24:56 there will be somthing in short Jul 04 12:25:13 but they do not have lots of easy to use applications. Jul 04 12:25:27 k Jul 04 12:25:32 Hi there. I tried to update my om2009 v5 with the latest releases and it seems some paroli-sounds packages are missing from the repository. Did anyone noticed it? Jul 04 12:25:33 so what should i do now Jul 04 12:25:50 ian202: I assume you can't return the phone for a refund? Jul 04 12:26:14 yes thats the main problam Jul 04 12:26:49 i will manage with a good firmware Jul 04 12:27:02 but please help me out Jul 04 12:27:18 ian202: there's no "good" (end-user ready) firmware yet. Sad but true. Jul 04 12:27:53 so please suggest me anyone you think better for me Jul 04 12:28:08 and yes how to instaal it Jul 04 12:28:24 ian202: you need to start to understand wiki first. Jul 04 12:28:30 ian202: to use dfu-util properly. Jul 04 12:28:44 ian202: after you do that, flash SHR testing image. Jul 04 12:29:41 the image i have is fake or real Jul 04 12:29:51 also, you might want to upgrade the gsm firmware, which is luckily pretty easy with the sd image here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GSM/Flashing Jul 04 12:29:55 ian202: it's a real image of FSO distro. Jul 04 12:30:12 iPhoneOS_rootfs_20090401.jffs2 Jul 04 12:30:22 mjr: easy for those who can use "dd" to prepare a uSD. Jul 04 12:30:34 ian202: man you start to look like a troll! Jul 04 12:31:03 lol Jul 04 12:31:08 PaulFertser, well, there's instructions, so... But meh, what do I know. Jul 04 12:31:15 now i can laugh @ me Jul 04 12:31:45 mjr: i was really sure that manual instructions are easy too. Reality proved to be different. Jul 04 12:32:12 is any video demo for newbees Jul 04 12:35:00 ian202: ok, let's proceed as following: you read the wiki page about flashing and tell us what you don't understand there. Follow the links dos1 gave you. Jul 04 12:35:06 k tell me is it easy to flash my phone uesing a linux pc like unbuntu or mindirova Jul 04 12:35:21 k Jul 04 12:35:27 let me tell you Jul 04 12:35:28 ian202: damn easy Jul 04 12:35:59 http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Dfu-util-windows this is the page i start from Jul 04 12:36:33 as per instruction i have downloaded two files Jul 04 12:37:18 OpenMokoDFU.zip and dfu-util.exe Jul 04 12:37:55 now when i connect uesing usb it ask for some driver Jul 04 12:38:35 ian202: unzip the archive and give your windows that driver Jul 04 12:38:40 i have root the driver folder but phone do not choose any driver Jul 04 12:39:10 ian202: hm, i think i know why Jul 04 12:39:11 i also copy paste driver to win32 dir. Jul 04 12:39:21 ian202: i think you booted the phone fully Jul 04 12:39:36 means Jul 04 12:39:39 ian202: you need to boot to the menu only (NAND u-boot menu) and stay there. Jul 04 12:39:52 ian202: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_the_Neo_FreeRunner Jul 04 12:39:56 ian202: boot to NAND u-boot Jul 04 12:40:00 ian202: stay in menu. Jul 04 12:40:20 k Jul 04 12:41:14 you mean to say by pressing the voice key and power on key pressinbg togather the menu will apear is nand moad Jul 04 12:41:50 ian202: read the page carefully, i can't say better than it's written there. Jul 04 12:42:53 k Jul 04 12:43:26 by this i can understand that i am in NOR FLASH menu rite now Jul 04 12:44:55 now it show me few option Jul 04 12:44:56 Boot Jul 04 12:45:23 2. boot from micro sd Jul 04 12:45:35 ian202: ok, that's ok. Plug it to your pc and install the driver Jul 04 12:45:35 3. set console to usb Jul 04 12:45:46 4. set console to serial Jul 04 12:45:52 5. reset Jul 04 12:46:02 6. power off Jul 04 12:46:14 ian202: ian202 any u-boot will do, NAND and NOR (it's just that NOR has a 30-seconds timeout and it will boot automatically) Jul 04 12:48:13 hey now i have driver install Jul 04 12:48:20 let me tell wich driver Jul 04 12:48:28 only one driver is pending Jul 04 12:49:12 this one install agree pci sv92pp soft modem Jul 04 12:50:06 now its asking for neo1973 bootloader 1.3.2-moko12 Jul 04 12:50:19 ian202: now you give it the driver you downloaded Jul 04 12:52:50 yes its install Jul 04 12:53:14 now what should i do Jul 04 12:54:21 ian202: boot to NAND u-boot menu and use dfu-util to flash kernel and rootfs. Jul 04 12:57:49 wheni press def-util.exe its just popup and end nothing is hapning Jul 04 12:58:28 ian202: this kernel: http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin and this rootfs: http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/shr-image-om-gta02.jffs2 Jul 04 12:58:33 ian202: do not press dfu-util. Jul 04 12:58:38 ian202: use it according to the wiki! Jul 04 13:00:52 Most windows users even doesn't know basics of their beloved operating system! Fuck. They ask me how to properly specify file to open serial port. Why do i know that it's "\\.\COM11" and they don't? Ewww Jul 04 13:03:33 helloooo, i'm trying to flash my phone with the shr-unstable rootfs however dfu-util keep throwing an "dfu_download error -81" before finishing. Jul 04 13:03:47 has anybody heard of this issue? (GTA01 neo1973) Jul 04 13:03:48 PaulFertser: you might ask why those bought a FR first instance ;-O) Jul 04 13:04:58 DocScrutinizer: this particular "newbee" used motorola a1200 and thought that any "linux phone" is similar. Jul 04 13:05:10 DocScrutinizer: and probably that it can run "iphoneos". Jul 04 13:05:11 * DocScrutinizer hates dfu-util throwing numeric errors due to coders wrer lazy to translate to decent plain text error notification Jul 04 13:05:54 it always happen at the same spot, i'm wondering, do i need to do some partitioning to install the shr-unstable rootfs? Jul 04 13:05:55 Kyrah: double-check your command line (that you flash to the correct partition etc). And then try different usb port / cable, remove extra hubs on the way etc. Jul 04 13:06:00 Kyrah: no Jul 04 13:06:12 itsnot random, it always happen at the exact same point Jul 04 13:06:14 Kyrah: ah, gta01! Jul 04 13:06:26 Kyrah: wait, are you flashing the "light" image? Jul 04 13:06:31 i tried both Jul 04 13:06:47 soory sir i got disconected Jul 04 13:06:51 Kyrah: check for size of image Jul 04 13:06:52 the kernel work fine Jul 04 13:07:01 what image size should it be? Jul 04 13:07:12 tell me what to do after installing the nor boot driver Jul 04 13:07:19 less than the 128MB you have on GTA01 ;-) Jul 04 13:07:20 Kyrah: you need to be using light! Jul 04 13:07:31 Kyrah: not more than 64M Jul 04 13:07:38 ian202: do not press dfu-util. Jul 04 13:07:41 ian202: use it according to the wiki! Jul 04 13:07:44 and after downloading k Jul 04 13:07:49 ian202: this kernel: http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin and this rootfs: http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/shr-image-om-gta02.jffs2 Jul 04 13:07:51 err, 64? sorry Jul 04 13:07:55 DocScrutinizer: gta01 Jul 04 13:08:08 testing is old ;/ Jul 04 13:08:11 yupyup Jul 04 13:08:11 use unstable ;) Jul 04 13:08:14 Paul i'm on a neo1973 Jul 04 13:08:19 DocScrutinizer: rootfs partition is even less than 64M i think. Jul 04 13:08:25 Kyrah: install to uSD ;-) Jul 04 13:08:28 Kyrah: neo1973 == gta01 Jul 04 13:08:45 umm what Doc? Jul 04 13:08:46 Kyrah: yes, i'd do as DocScrutinizer suggests, use rootfs on uSD. Jul 04 13:08:51 first link download me a 1.4 mb file Jul 04 13:08:53 i dunno how to do that Jul 04 13:08:56 its a image file Jul 04 13:09:01 PaulFertser: sure, as there's kernel, splash, root, etc partion Jul 04 13:09:06 ian2668: first link is the kernel image, second is the rootfs image. Jul 04 13:09:13 i have the kernel latest in place Jul 04 13:09:24 how do i install the rootfs on the sd card? Jul 04 13:09:49 and another link gave me a 84 mb file wich is downloading Jul 04 13:09:50 Kyrah: make a single primary ext3 partition, untar the image there. Jul 04 13:10:00 ian2668: as expected Jul 04 13:10:07 Kyrah: that's all :-) Jul 04 13:10:37 and what do i do with the rootfs? Jul 04 13:10:43 now aht to do Jul 04 13:10:44 Kyrah: probably you'll need to tweak your u-boot menu to boot kernel from NAND but use rootfs on uSD Jul 04 13:10:53 now what bto do ? Jul 04 13:10:56 Kyrah: then boot to uSD via uBoot-menu, or adjust your uBoot-env Jul 04 13:10:59 hrm Jul 04 13:11:18 so the gta01 light is guaranted to fit the rootfs? Jul 04 13:11:29 Kyrah: expand rootfs.tgz to uSD Jul 04 13:11:32 i'm gonna try again maybe i screwed up something... Jul 04 13:11:33 downloading finish Jul 04 13:11:38 ian2668: now read http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Dfu-util#Phrasebook until you're enlightened. Jul 04 13:11:41 now what to do Jul 04 13:11:49 yeah but i've no idea how to access the sdcard Jul 04 13:12:11 Kyrah: via your desktop PC ;-) Jul 04 13:12:14 ian2668: where're you from? Jul 04 13:12:31 Doc i knowit all sound simple for everyone exepted me. Jul 04 13:13:00 Kyrah: nah, see concurrent conversation PaulFertser | ian2668 Jul 04 13:13:42 Kyrah: learning curve on FR always very steep Jul 04 13:14:28 especially when you use a Neo :) Jul 04 13:14:43 Kyrah: i want to buy a gta01 Jul 04 13:15:05 Kyrah: for kernel work and hardware investigations Jul 04 13:15:24 Kyrah: i want to improve suspend and running time. Jul 04 13:15:42 Kyrah: Neo == [gta01; Neo_1973 & gta02; Neo FreeRunner] Jul 04 13:16:44 Kyrah: so what PaulFertser actually wants to say: do you want to sell yours? Jul 04 13:16:48 DocScrutinizer: can you imagine it? I failed to contact russian gta01 owners :( probably i need to try once more... Jul 04 13:17:34 the light appears to weight 63 megs Jul 04 13:17:40 sound good? Jul 04 13:17:48 Kyrah: too big Jul 04 13:18:08 the only smaller ones are the tar.gz ones Jul 04 13:18:18 Kyrah: we know there's been issues with too big builds for GTA01 Jul 04 13:18:20 Kyrah: yeah, too big. Complain to SHR devs. Jul 04 13:18:51 Kyrah: dn't worry into a headache, use uSD rather Jul 04 13:19:14 realy not getting anything Jul 04 13:19:24 ian2668: getting==understanding? Jul 04 13:19:26 Kyrah: dl the *.tgz and expand to uSD ext3 partition Jul 04 13:19:27 where to tyep these comand Jul 04 13:19:30 oh i found a 53 meg one Jul 04 13:19:35 ian2668: cmd.exe Jul 04 13:19:50 Kyrah: sounds muuuuch better Jul 04 13:19:52 k Jul 04 13:19:57 well i just wanna see the changes , see if it's worth putting my head back into it :) Jul 04 13:20:24 it has opened a c++ window Jul 04 13:20:25 Kyrah: recent SHR *is* worth it Jul 04 13:20:33 ian2668: Holy SHIT! Jul 04 13:20:39 loool Jul 04 13:20:42 ian2668: magical XP build you have there for sure! Jul 04 13:21:08 now what to tyep Jul 04 13:21:25 Your favourite C++ program of course Jul 04 13:21:29 * DocScrutinizer happy to not have had any need to touch that redmond-crap for >6months now Jul 04 13:21:36 I always do that when i see C++ windows. Jul 04 13:22:13 PaulFertser: I guess ian2668 will go nuts on that advice ;-D Jul 04 13:23:06 its shwoing me c/document and setting Jul 04 13:23:17 ian2668: wtf. Don't you get a simle terminal-window (white on black) when starting cmd.exe Jul 04 13:23:18 ? Jul 04 13:23:34 yes Jul 04 13:23:44 i don't get it... Jul 04 13:23:46 but the start command is Jul 04 13:23:52 ian2668: ok, now type "cd " Jul 04 13:24:07 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/images/om-gta01/shr-shr-lite-image-glibc-ipk--20090611-om-gta01.rootfs.jffs2 --> 57Mb Jul 04 13:24:08 ian2668: then "dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D /path/to/openmoko-devel-image.jffs2" Jul 04 13:24:26 http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-unstable/images/om-gta01/shr-shr-lite-image-glibc-ipk--20090703-om-gta01.rootfs.jffs2 -- 63Mb Jul 04 13:24:43 why would they release a "lite" that can't fit in rootfs? Jul 04 13:24:57 Kyrah: by mistake. They don't release. And don't test mostly. Jul 04 13:25:10 well all the recent lite are too big for rootfs Jul 04 13:25:19 Kyrah: autobuilding. Jul 04 13:25:27 Kyrah: complain to SHR devs, they'll fix it. Jul 04 13:25:28 Kyrah: yes. nown issue Jul 04 13:25:38 Kyrah: pester mrmoku ;-) Jul 04 13:25:42 well imnot a pest i'm glad to get what i can Jul 04 13:25:57 after tyeping nothing is hapning can you tell me the full comand what should i tyep Jul 04 13:25:59 just thought it was curious Jul 04 13:26:38 ian2668: that's probably been the full command Jul 04 13:26:58 you mean to say it will be like Jul 04 13:27:49 c:\document and setting\amit> Jul 04 13:28:18 c:\document and setting\amit> what to tyep after This Jul 04 13:28:28 17:23 < PaulFertser> ian2668: ok, now type "cd " Jul 04 13:28:39 17:23 < PaulFertser> ian2668: then "dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D /path/to/openmoko-devel-image.jffs2" Jul 04 13:29:18 cd MyOpenmokoDownloadDir Jul 04 13:30:04 dir dfu-util* Jul 04 13:30:17 ian2668: what output???

Jul 04 13:33:05 what to do sir Jul 04 13:33:05 Kyrah: much more convenient. 64 really is too small for a decent OS Jul 04 13:33:42 dir is working show me lots of option Jul 04 13:33:49 i most likely lost the usb dcard reader ... Jul 04 13:34:10 i have all the file on my desktop Jul 04 13:34:20 what will be the comand Jul 04 13:36:14 [2009-07-04 15:28:28] 17:23 < PaulFertser> ian2668: ok, now type "cd " Jul 04 13:36:15 [2009-07-04 15:28:39] 17:23 < PaulFertser> ian2668: then "dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D /path/to/openmoko-devel-image.jffs2" Jul 04 13:37:12 ian2668: please try to find help from experienced windows users on how to use commandline terminal cmd.exe Jul 04 13:37:13 can you dfu-util to the sd card? :) Jul 04 13:38:02 Kyrah: nope Jul 04 13:38:24 but if you have a working OS on your device, you can scp Jul 04 13:38:47 do you have some desktop manager like desktop sharing clint Jul 04 13:38:56 so you can do it for me Jul 04 13:39:05 well my device is inoperant for now Jul 04 13:39:28 Kyrah: alas it seems you just flashed a non-working OS to your device ;-P Jul 04 13:39:36 yes Jul 04 13:40:29 yeah Jul 04 13:40:38 i jsut found the usb to sdcard tool Jul 04 13:40:50 now if i could find the sdcard to microsd card tool... Jul 04 13:41:17 is anybody from india Jul 04 13:41:30 Kyrah: get yourself a uSD usb-stick. Transcend is selling uSD cards with usb-stick in a blister for ~3bucks more than plain uSD Jul 04 13:41:57 onen|openBmap: why some cells are white and some grey on google earth? Jul 04 13:42:07 Kyrah: or use that adapter, yeah Jul 04 13:43:06 i haz it! Jul 04 13:43:24 is anybody from india Jul 04 13:44:07 Kyrah: I'm not sure about if old uBoot (or all uBoot) need a small (8MB) vfat partition at start of uSD to hold the kernel. I formated my uSD like this and it worked Jul 04 13:44:37 the uboot does offer to boot on sdcard Jul 04 13:44:46 PaulFertser should know better, but then paul always used Qi ;-P Jul 04 13:44:46 ian2: search the internet for something like "command line cmd.exe for windows dummies" Jul 04 13:45:10 Kyrah: yes, default u-boot menu has that option but it wants to grab kernel from uSD too. Jul 04 13:45:28 Kyrah: the problem is that old u-boot versions (probably modern too) don't support SDHC. Jul 04 13:45:58 PaulFertser: duh, boting great from 4GB here Jul 04 13:46:16 DocScrutinizer: that's gta02 u-boot Jul 04 13:46:25 yup Jul 04 13:46:38 I know someone did SDHC support for u-boot on gta01 but i'm not sure it's now in the OM repo. Jul 04 13:47:05 Kyrah: i implemented SDHC for gta01 in Qi and it is in the OM repo for sure. Jul 04 13:47:13 Kyrah: so with a 1GB or smaler uSD you're fine anyway Jul 04 13:47:52 Kyrah: what's the uSD you intend to use right now? Jul 04 13:48:17 a 4gb i have Jul 04 13:48:23 eew Jul 04 13:48:31 eew? Jul 04 13:48:31 that's SDHC Jul 04 13:48:42 well otherwise i have a 512mb Jul 04 13:48:45 afaik Jul 04 13:48:54 sdhc is a problem? Jul 04 13:48:58 Kyrah: that one is perfect for now Jul 04 13:49:07 wich one? Jul 04 13:49:11 :D Jul 04 13:49:13 [2009-07-04 15:46:38] I know someone did SDHC support for u-boot on gta01 but i'm not sure it's now in the OM repo. Jul 04 13:49:19 oh Jul 04 13:49:21 Kyrah: you can boot kernel from NAND and use SDHC rootfs without problems! Jul 04 13:49:27 Kyrah: just tweak u-boot menu Jul 04 13:49:42 another possible way, yes Jul 04 13:49:45 well do i keep the 4gb or what? Jul 04 13:49:54 Kyrah: you choice Jul 04 13:49:58 choose Jul 04 13:50:00 I suggest you use the 512 for now Jul 04 13:50:09 least work Jul 04 13:50:12 okay gonna forwmat it to ext3 and then i come back Jul 04 13:50:37 Kyrah: create a 8MB vfat and the remaining space ext3 Jul 04 13:50:54 copy kernel to vfat partition Jul 04 13:51:21 expand rootfs.tgz to ext3 partition Jul 04 13:51:35 use uboot menu to "boot from uSD" Jul 04 13:51:47 DocScrutinizer: ugly :-/ Are you sure uboot on gta01 doesn't support ext2? Jul 04 13:51:59 Well, whatever. Jul 04 13:52:03 dunno, as stated before Jul 04 13:52:13 Kyrah: i guess you need to start understanding that stuff yourself anyway. Jul 04 13:52:55 Kyrah: or sell me your gta01 with a discount ;) Jul 04 13:52:57 PaulFertser: I guess old uBoot on gta01 needs the vfat Jul 04 13:53:41 rah Jul 04 13:53:44 PaulFertser: and hey, 512 - 8 = 504 Jul 04 13:53:47 i jsut came back :( Jul 04 13:53:56 and i guess i've to start over :D Jul 04 13:54:11 okay so a 8mb vfat and rest in ext2 ? Jul 04 13:54:16 yup Jul 04 13:54:23 or ext3 Jul 04 13:54:24 oookayy Jul 04 13:54:31 wich is best for this ? Jul 04 13:54:41 speed, reliability on an sd card, etc Jul 04 13:54:48 mark vfat bootable - dunno if it's needed but wn't hurt Jul 04 13:55:06 ext3 preferred I think Jul 04 13:56:15 what is the official name of vfat on fdisk? Jul 04 13:56:17 fat16? Jul 04 13:57:02 dunno exactly. fat32, fat16 sth like that Jul 04 13:58:54 Anyone know what name an usbserial device would get in /dev/ on the newest kernel? Jul 04 13:59:18 openmoko: 03werner * r5287 10/trunk/gta02-core/scripts/all-sheets: Jul 04 13:59:18 openmoko: Added x offset to Postscript generated by all-sheets, so that we have less Jul 04 13:59:18 openmoko: (or no) clipping. Jul 04 14:01:07 Kyrah: cfdisk: Jul 04 14:01:11 Disk Drive: /dev/sdb Jul 04 14:01:24 lysgaard: hey :) Jul 04 14:01:38 sdb1 Boot Primary FAT16 [ ] 8.26 Jul 04 14:01:39 sdb2 Primary Linux ext3 3955.36 Jul 04 14:02:00 Kyrah: hth Jul 04 14:02:17 Kyrah: vfat works on any fat version (fat12, fat16 and fat32) Jul 04 14:02:40 Kyrah: it's a higher-level abstraction to use longnames and shit without loosing dos-compatibility. Jul 04 14:02:57 PaulFertser: Hey =) I've got the serial port working! =) There was something wrong with the latest SHR image, i flashed an older one Jul 04 14:03:07 dos1: no idea. I will ask Nick if he knows Jul 04 14:03:16 lysgaard: the serial port? I thought you wanted usb host? Jul 04 14:03:21 Kyrah: Jul 04 14:03:23 halley:~ # ls -l /media/disk-2 Jul 04 14:03:24 total 1790 Jul 04 14:03:26 -rwxr-xr-x 1 jr root 1832140 May 30 02:22 uimage.bin Jul 04 14:04:26 PaulFertser: Yup, then i plug an arduino board in the usb plug. It acts as an usbclient, and emulates a serialport Jul 04 14:04:36 okay what you use already to format a fat partition? Jul 04 14:04:41 mkfat or something? Jul 04 14:05:13 lysgaard: so it was a kernel regression? Jul 04 14:05:19 Kyrah: yup, mkfs.vfat Jul 04 14:05:28 lysgaard: i mean usb host didn't work because of the FR's kernel? Jul 04 14:05:39 Kyrah: Jul 04 14:05:41 halley:~ # ls -l /media/disk-1 Jul 04 14:05:42 total 1100 Jul 04 14:05:44 -rw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 4 08:03 .python-history Jul 04 14:05:45 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1048576 Jun 22 11:34 1mbfile Jul 04 14:05:47 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 29 17:38 bin Jul 04 14:05:48 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 29 17:38 boot Jul 04 14:05:50 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 1 2000 dev Jul 04 14:05:53 Kyrah: yes, mkfs.vfat Jul 04 14:06:39 okay i mounted the vfat partition, i have to drop the kerl in it right? Jul 04 14:06:40 lysgaard: it's very strange because i used basically the latest kernel here. Jul 04 14:06:43 PaulFertser: Nope, i use the newest kernel, but an older image of shr. I guess there was some problems with the usbhost button in the settings panel Jul 04 14:07:14 Kyrah: notice in above pasted lines, actually disk-2 is the fat16 partition, which is first partition on uSD Jul 04 14:07:15 so i simply plop down the .bin file in it? Jul 04 14:07:24 yup Jul 04 14:07:34 and for rootfs? Jul 04 14:07:46 openmoko: 03werner * r5288 10/trunk/gta02-core/ (cpu.sch gps.sch lcm.sch memory.sch pmu.sch): Jul 04 14:07:46 openmoko: Style cleanup. Jul 04 14:07:46 openmoko: - changed si-prefixes K, N, U to lower case Jul 04 14:07:46 openmoko: - removed H for "Henry" Jul 04 14:07:46 openmoko: - changed invisible "100M" of B2201 to "100MHz" Jul 04 14:07:47 openmoko: - made sheet label of LCM sheet bold Jul 04 14:07:52 lysgaard: but i thought you were using sysfs directly, no? Jul 04 14:07:53 i untar the latest archive in the other partition amiright? Jul 04 14:07:59 expand the tarball to ext2/3 partition Jul 04 14:08:12 yup Jul 04 14:08:40 lysgaard: back to your question, it's /dev/ttyUSB0 or smth Jul 04 14:08:45 lysgaard: you'll find that in dmesg. Jul 04 14:08:49 Kyrah: kernel.bin and rootfs have to match, otherwise you miss the right modules Jul 04 14:09:00 PaulFertser: Nope, i used the usbhost button. I just checked with the sysfs to see if it worked, wich seemed like, but aperently didnt Jul 04 14:09:02 lysgaard: obviously you need to have usbserial.ko (and specific hardware driver) loaded. Jul 04 14:09:14 PaulF Jul 04 14:09:26 PaulFertser: Whats the usbserial modules name? Jul 04 14:10:06 lysgaard: the same you use on your PC host when you plug your board to it. Jul 04 14:10:24 lysgaard: e.g. when i use an ft232r-based converter, it's ft232_sio or smth. Jul 04 14:11:26 how do you knwo kernel.bin and rootfs match, on shr-unstable it only says kernenel.bin latest Jul 04 14:11:42 Kyrah: you'll see it after you boot it ;) Jul 04 14:11:45 PaulFertser: Thanks, i actually have an ft232 ;) Jul 04 14:11:48 ugggh Jul 04 14:15:26 Kyrah: I also think that's a big flaw of shr-u buildprocess/dirs Jul 04 14:16:14 Kyrah: you find some matching kernels in people.openmoko.org/joerg/shr_unstable Jul 04 14:16:42 lysgaard: ftdi_sio Jul 04 14:17:02 lysgaard: and it's in moredrivers defconfig in modules, so if you've installed the modules tarball, it should be there. Jul 04 14:17:45 Kyrah: I started to mirror the shr-dl-dir when there were times it didn't have any kernel at all ;-P Jul 04 14:18:14 PaulFertser: I have! Then you helping me with compiling a kernel was not wasted at all =) Jul 04 14:19:56 Kyrah: I'd recommend to use 20090703 though. There's the matching uimage.bin at shr-server Jul 04 14:20:17 DocScrutinizer: do you think it worth trying to find the element that emits high-pitched sound when screen is rotated? I'd need to take off the can again... Jul 04 14:20:41 PaulFertser: to what goal? Jul 04 14:20:48 DocScrutinizer: to make it silent Jul 04 14:21:01 DocScrutinizer: i don't want to use a device while it emits high-pitched sounds. Jul 04 14:21:08 if that's your plan, you're welcome Jul 04 14:21:11 If it bothers you, sure. Jul 04 14:21:30 Does disabling the speakers work? Jul 04 14:21:35 SpeedEvil: wouldn't it bother you? Jul 04 14:21:51 It depends on the frequency. Jul 04 14:21:55 Strange, i get FATAL: Module lib/modules/2.6.29_GTA02_andy_tracking_mokodev/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko not found. Even though the file exists Jul 04 14:21:57 >30KHz, no Jul 04 14:22:09 PaulFertser: I'm an old man, you know ;-) Jul 04 14:22:10 SpeedEvil: hm, i haven't tried disabling the speakers, the sound looks more like some "loose" L. Jul 04 14:22:11 And I don't have a FR - so meh. Jul 04 14:22:39 lysgaard: depmod -a? Jul 04 14:22:46 SpeedEvil: (>30kHz) LOL Jul 04 14:22:48 PaulFertser: sure - I'm having problems seeing how it coud be - the LCM shouldn't AIUI have significant time-varying components of current Jul 04 14:23:13 DocScrutinizer: What does it do? Jul 04 14:23:27 worked now! =) Jul 04 14:23:31 lysgaard: man depmod Jul 04 14:24:12 SpeedEvil: i think young people can hear sound @~20kHz, and when they are older, it decrements :x Jul 04 14:24:21 lysgaard: iirc builds some cache Jul 04 14:25:12 dos1: And listening to rap music/jackhammering/shooting guns/... also Jul 04 14:25:25 i prefer metal :D Jul 04 14:25:42 what about a little bit of ska? Jul 04 14:25:44 :D Jul 04 14:26:36 i think that sound is something about 15kHz Jul 04 14:26:40 SpeedEvil: still no fun, restoring gsmheadset doesn't affect it. Jul 04 14:26:45 dos1: yep, looks like that Jul 04 14:27:07 2 years ago i could hear sounds up to 22kHz Jul 04 14:27:13 The line freq would be what... Jul 04 14:27:31 actually no Jul 04 14:27:33 dos1: 30years ago me too ;-P Jul 04 14:27:37 SpeedEvil: also it stops when the display is blanked. Jul 04 14:27:39 the LCD is exactly the same mode Jul 04 14:27:49 and that sound isn't high as that ;) Jul 04 14:27:52 The display does no rotation at all Jul 04 14:28:02 It's the glamo that rotates. Jul 04 14:28:13 SpeedEvil: but it has some different modes Jul 04 14:28:20 SpeedEvil: well, do you have other theory that explains it? Jul 04 14:28:22 (look at stipes which are sometimes visible) Jul 04 14:28:28 Yes - it can do pixel binning and stuff Jul 04 14:28:41 maybe refresh rate? Jul 04 14:28:41 SpeedEvil: actually there's a landscape/portrait switch for jbt7k afaik Jul 04 14:28:43 The LCD is very dumb though - it has no internal RAM Jul 04 14:28:45 meh Jul 04 14:28:51 i should have an sdcard ready soonish Jul 04 14:28:58 Fair enough, I thought it wasn't. Jul 04 14:29:31 In that case, the line pitch should alter by 640/480ths as it rotates Jul 04 14:30:14 38KHz to 28KHz Jul 04 14:30:48 son once i have my sdcard ready what reamains to do? Jul 04 14:30:53 well, that sould wasn't there some time ago, and people started to complain at it when i noticed it first time, so it was introduced by some kernel change Jul 04 14:31:04 Assuming the frame rate stays at 60fps Jul 04 14:31:10 Kyrah: boot it ;) Jul 04 14:31:26 SpeedEvil: i think it doesn't stay... we should check it Jul 04 14:31:31 dos1: i've just tried .24 Jul 04 14:31:31 yeah but that means using the uboot menu right? Jul 04 14:31:33 dos1: no change Jul 04 14:31:35 won't do it by itself Jul 04 14:31:46 dos1: and tried with some february version, same shit Jul 04 14:32:01 Kyrah: exactly Jul 04 14:32:03 PaulFertser: hmm... bootloader? Jul 04 14:32:12 dunno ;x Jul 04 14:32:16 dos1: maybe Jul 04 14:32:20 maybe uboot was setting something differently? Jul 04 14:32:42 i'm sure i doesn't have that sound at beginning Jul 04 14:32:51 i was using landscape mode quite often Jul 04 14:33:15 (in 2007.2 there was bug button at AUX menu for change between portrait and landscape :)) Jul 04 14:33:26 s/bug/big/ Jul 04 14:33:27 dos1 meant: (in 2007.2 there was big button at AUX menu for change between portrait and landscape :)) Jul 04 14:33:28 ^^ Jul 04 14:33:32 could be X choosing different line settings Jul 04 14:33:55 that would be odd - no Xglamo changes for long time... Jul 04 14:34:01 ahem Jul 04 14:34:06 Ok, booting 2007.2 with nor u-boot Jul 04 14:34:16 it seems this uboot demande the kernel partition to be in ext2 Jul 04 14:34:24 Failed Jul 04 14:34:29 it makes an error saying it can't mount the partition Jul 04 14:34:40 hmmm Jul 04 14:34:42 Kyrah: ext3? Jul 04 14:34:46 Too big kernel image there Jul 04 14:34:48 no, vfat Jul 04 14:35:02 Kyrah: so use fatload instead of ext2load Jul 04 14:35:13 Kyrah: nope, that's likely about rootfs Jul 04 14:35:19 welll itsnot in the uboot menu i can't run it :p Jul 04 14:35:38 anyway turning the boot parittion ot ext2 is a 5 minutes job so... Jul 04 14:35:39 Kyrah: connect to PC and change env... Jul 04 14:35:55 doesn't bother me Jul 04 14:36:07 dos1: that's exactly the plan to avoid that Jul 04 14:36:14 oh Jul 04 14:36:15 :D Jul 04 14:36:37 what about Qi? Jul 04 14:36:54 dos1: more failure modes involved Jul 04 14:37:04 same for Qi Jul 04 14:37:16 ok Jul 04 14:37:34 dos1: we're talking about a teaser install here Jul 04 14:38:38 dos1: as your f*ckng gta01 inages are too big Jul 04 14:38:45 ;-P Jul 04 14:39:42 well, gta01 images are for using with SD card :D Jul 04 14:40:03 maybe someone will come and strip lite image down to fit into gta01 Jul 04 14:40:09 aaaah, yes. especially *.jffs2 ;-D Jul 04 14:40:14 but that's not me - i don't have gta01 to test ;) Jul 04 14:40:29 someone can send me of course, and i'll play with it :D Jul 04 14:42:51 k, bbl Jul 04 14:49:59 PaulFertser: could you use a remote login to gta01? Jul 04 14:50:51 PaulFertser: I.E a remote account on x86-linux with a gta01 connected to the box Jul 04 14:52:20 waaa it' snot working Jul 04 14:52:26 will try again later -_- Jul 04 14:52:42 DocScrutinizer: for current measurements? no use i'm afraid Jul 04 14:54:05 hmm Jul 04 15:05:34 Kyrah: maybe update your uBoot? Jul 04 15:06:57 Kyrah: also you might log in to uboot and enter correct boot command manually Jul 04 15:07:15 DocScrutinizer: i'm guilty of using 2.6.14 on my desktop and now buggy cdc_acm driver borked and i can't connect to u-boot console to alter the environment to boot a bigger kernel :-/ Jul 04 15:07:25 then if you put it to work, change env Jul 04 15:08:01 dos1: can you try booting with NOR u-boot to check if the sound is there? Jul 04 15:08:05 PaulFertser: ouch Jul 04 15:09:34 PaulFertser: I'm guilty of wasting a whole nice afternoon with sunny weather by sitting on my IT-gadgets ;-) Jul 04 15:10:08 Not that nice here, strong wind and semi-cold weather Jul 04 15:10:39 not as hot as yesterday here, only 27C Jul 04 15:10:51 I'd prefer 27, i like when it's hot Jul 04 15:23:24 Only 23. Jul 04 15:23:30 I've been reinstalling windows. Jul 04 15:23:33 (with putty) Jul 04 15:35:55 DocScrutinizer: here 32C :/ Jul 04 15:36:23 oh, now 29 Jul 04 15:36:40 ~2 hours ago here was 32C Jul 04 15:36:50 i don't like when it's hot :/ Jul 04 15:36:59 for me ~23 is perfect :P Jul 04 15:47:24 * PaulFertser wants to go south to Azov sea, to swim in the sea, to fool around doing nothing, to read books to listen to music in the evening... Jul 04 17:18:56 freesmartphone.org: 03seba.dos1 07framework * r116599e055df 10/framework/subsystems/ogpsd/gpsdevice.py: ogpsd: fix typo in log messages Jul 04 17:23:41 grüßt euch Jul 04 18:10:39 I am trying to checkout this repo: http://github.com/liedekef/qtmoko/tree/master with this command "git checkout git://github.com/liedekef/qtmoko.git" but I get a "fatal: Not a git repository" error Jul 04 18:10:48 what do I d o wrong? Jul 04 18:11:44 beer__: you need to "git clone" it Jul 04 18:12:35 something is happening :) Jul 04 18:13:31 what is the advantice of git insead of svn? Jul 04 18:14:59 beer__: this topic deserves a series of articles if not a book. I can tell you that even key svn developers see that svn is not suitable for most free software projects. Jul 04 18:27:47 Guys, for those who asks for good pointers: http://xkcd.com/138/ Jul 04 18:29:30 about qt moko should the language files be in/qtmoko/i18n/en_US on the repo before? Jul 04 18:29:51 I have problem locating the english so I can translate it Jul 04 19:04:04 beer__: translating software? What a weird idea... Jul 04 19:11:47 beer__: I'd guess you will use qt-linguist for preparing translations. Jul 04 19:14:34 beer__: you first need to create a virgin file for linguist, which basically contains all the english genuine strings from sourcecode. Then you can translate each string. qt's tr() will look up for correct translated string in this file then Jul 04 19:16:00 at least that's the standard way it's done in qt examples and e.g. twinklephone Jul 04 19:24:35 hey everyone Jul 04 19:24:43 I flashed OM2009 to my freerunner Jul 04 19:25:08 and now when I start it it complains it can't start the SD_3V3 regulator Jul 04 19:25:14 how do I fix this? Jul 04 19:26:24 xelapond: you don't need to. Jul 04 19:26:34 xelapond: it's just a warning. Jul 04 19:26:39 ok Jul 04 19:26:42 but how do I get around it? Jul 04 19:26:50 xelapond: in the latest kernel it doesn't appear with the default (for Qi) loglevel. Jul 04 19:27:02 oh Jul 04 19:27:05 xelapond: you don't need to workaround it. It's a worning that has no effect! Jul 04 19:27:11 yea, simply reduce loglevel Jul 04 19:27:17 ohh, ok:) Jul 04 19:27:22 Or just ignore. Jul 04 19:27:25 so I can just let it be and it will continue booting? Jul 04 19:27:30 xelapond: sure Jul 04 19:27:32 ahh, ok:) Jul 04 19:27:33 thanks Jul 04 19:27:45 it sounded like a fatal error, thats why I was wondering:P Jul 04 19:28:40 its taking a long time on it though Jul 04 19:28:43 is that normal? Jul 04 19:31:27 xelapond: yep Jul 04 19:31:41 xelapond: not on it, you just don't see what's happening. Jul 04 19:48:46 I've been curious about one thing - when the phone is charging and I happed to touch the antenna connector, I get a small electroshock :) Jul 04 19:49:21 azaghal: GPS antenna? Jul 04 19:49:36 Yep Jul 04 19:49:53 At least I think it's a GPS antenna (the little golden thingy on the side) Jul 04 19:50:08 yep, that's GPS antenna Jul 04 19:50:35 azaghal: touch the (unplugged) USB, and you will probably fee l the same. Jul 04 19:50:40 You're using a laptop? Jul 04 19:50:48 Nah, desktop right now. Jul 04 19:50:59 Ah... Jul 04 19:51:04 Then it's possibly not grounded. Jul 04 19:51:07 It'll happen when GPS is on, of course :P Jul 04 19:51:11 no Jul 04 19:51:24 No? Oh, well. Jul 04 19:51:26 there should be no voltages detectable by a human. Jul 04 19:51:55 Well - unless maybe you stick your tongue in the socket, you may feel a unusually metallic taste Jul 04 19:52:15 rofl Jul 04 19:52:37 azaghal: i guess you're in contact with both some grounded part and with case of your desktop. Jul 04 19:52:38 but what you are feeling is due to - for esome reason - being at a different voltage to the phone Jul 04 19:52:53 Probably just that. Jul 04 19:53:14 azaghal: the advice makes sense, sit the same way as when you touch gps connector and touch the case of your pc (unshielded). Jul 04 19:53:18 This can be due to being on a grounded surface, and using it on a laptop, which may 'float' at 1/2 the mains voltage, rather than being properly grounded Jul 04 19:53:41 Or the USB connector that you'd plug into the FR Jul 04 19:53:48 Yes Jul 04 19:53:57 Ok, thanks Jul 04 19:53:59 Or even the surface of your CRT monitor. Jul 04 19:54:25 Or many other reasons, varying from harmless, to potentially lethal wiring faults in your mains electricity or computer. Jul 04 19:54:55 azaghal: is your desktop grounded? Jul 04 19:55:46 SpeedEvil: btw, i think all soviet living buildings lack ground in wall sockets :( Jul 04 19:55:54 'Azaghal has quit. (Electrocuted)' Jul 04 19:56:01 Between you and me, one of these days I have to sort out the whole thing ;) Jul 04 19:56:11 .oO( my desktop computer is forbidden to leave the room on its own ) Jul 04 20:01:06 Heheh Jul 04 20:01:27 SpeedEvil: workers who did wiring in one of the labs of our univesity were so stupid they forgot to connect neutral wire to actual neutral on the switchboard for half of the sockets. Everything worked just because some equipment on different sockets was interconnected (and sockets have neutral and ground connected to the same wire). Jul 04 20:03:22 SpeedEvil: moreover some sockets in our lab are using phase A, others use B and C. Jul 04 20:04:13 ow. Jul 04 20:04:37 SpeedEvil: after we disconnected a printer from one of the computers, we got ~180VAC in some sockets and ~240VAC in other. (Phase C was unaffected) Jul 04 20:04:37 so wildly varying voltages? Jul 04 20:06:50 Just after the printer was disconnected the difference was even more, some LCD's started to emit smoke even. Lab workers turned off all the equipment and called electricians. But they came, measured the voltages, said it's ~ok and left. Lab workers tried to turn on the equipment again and as it worked so they gave up on investigating. Jul 04 20:07:33 :/ Jul 04 20:07:58 SpeedEvil: then i came and luckily i had my DMM with me (it's even better than the one our electricians have). I started to measure the voltages and investigating. I insisted we call electricians again and started to convince them that something (different voltage) is utterly wrong. Jul 04 20:08:53 SpeedEvil: after a good look on the switchboard the issue became clear. The were two "rulers" for connecting the neutral wire. On is connected to actual neutral and the other was floating. Jul 04 20:11:26 SpeedEvil: what is the proper name for the straight thing you can connect many wires to? Jul 04 22:56:26 openmoko: 03werner * r5289 10/trunk/gta02-core/docs/ecn/ (STATUS ecn0025.txt): Added ECN0025: Connect CLKOUT1 to UEXTCLK (U1501) Jul 04 23:28:46 <_ABC> Greetings! Openmoko seems like a great toy to play around with. However, it looks like you have to have a mouse + keyboard for using distros like gentoo. Is this true? Jul 04 23:29:17 Don't think so. SSH + onscreen keyboard Jul 04 23:29:39 <_ABC> hmm Jul 04 23:30:21 <_ABC> So the touchscreen has mouse support also? Jul 04 23:31:03 <_ABC> Because one would think an OS for PCs dont quite use touchscreens as on mobile devices. Jul 04 23:31:11 Well you have a USB port Jul 04 23:31:13 all touchscreens act like mice under X Jul 04 23:31:25 but don't really support everything but clicks and drags Jul 04 23:31:59 <_ABC> i see Jul 04 23:32:26 <_ABC> How about multitouch features for zooming and shrinking the screen? Jul 04 23:33:13 no Jul 04 23:33:26 they are not possible due to hardware Jul 04 23:34:01 <_ABC> ahh, so the LCD screen only provides single touch sensing.. Jul 04 23:34:09 yeah. Jul 04 23:34:37 Well, not really. It's a capacitive touchscreen. Some other component is unable to resolve the multiple touch points. Jul 04 23:34:37 <_ABC> gee, that would be a small screen then to view shell and such Jul 04 23:34:45 At the moment, if you expect the FR to be just a small linux box with a touchscreen, little RAM and storage, you may be pleasantly surprised when you discover it can work as a phone :) Jul 04 23:34:50 (somewhat) Jul 04 23:34:57 it's a resistive touchscreen Jul 04 23:34:59 not capacitive Jul 04 23:35:05 Oh! My mistake. Sorry. Jul 04 23:35:23 Well - Actually - the display is very good - I have had 80*25 xterm on it - not fullscreen even. Jul 04 23:35:44 But it does pretty much absolutely require in that case you to have the screen very close to your eyes. Jul 04 23:35:51 (and not be longsighted) Jul 04 23:36:06 * _ABC is thinking of hooking up a VGA screen to it..if possible Jul 04 23:36:25 It's got a VGA screen Jul 04 23:36:33 <_ABC> :P ill just unhook then screen from my laptop Jul 04 23:36:42 And you can't really do that easily Jul 04 23:37:01 <_ABC> HW pinouts? Jul 04 23:37:16 Yeah, not really. Mostly you can replicate the display via vnc or similar, or run remote X apps Jul 04 23:37:19 All LCD panels in the past decade or more are LVDS Jul 04 23:37:33 ('course, if you go to insane lengths anything is possible) Jul 04 23:37:48 In principle, you could hook a PSP display to it, for example, or a really old VGA notebook screen Jul 04 23:38:08 but that would involve making it not work as a phone anymore. Jul 04 23:38:24 <_ABC> ahh right.. Jul 04 23:38:27 <_ABC> well Jul 04 23:38:32 And if you were about to mention VGA-USB adaptors, you can't do that either. Jul 04 23:38:44 As they all want USB2 Jul 04 23:38:52 <_ABC> huh? Jul 04 23:39:49 http://www.startech.com/Product/ItemList.aspx?itematr=KEYPHRASE:USB VGA&gclid=CNmwzcWcvZsCFZgU4wodvBLUCQ Jul 04 23:40:11 * _ABC checkin Jul 04 23:41:50 <_ABC> "the adapter connects to a host computer through a USB 2.0 port to create a VGA connection" Jul 04 23:42:04 <_ABC> oh i see what you're saying Jul 04 23:43:40 <_ABC> cant be...OM only uses usb1?! Jul 04 23:45:14 <_ABC> mm 1.1 Jul 04 23:46:15 <_ABC> well thanks guys! Jul 04 23:48:17 Unfortunately, at teh time the chipset design was locked in, USB2 SoCs were considerably worse in some aspects Jul 04 23:49:48 <_ABC> i see Jul 04 23:51:19 <_ABC> by the way SpeedEvil i am just looking for a dev/eval board or devices to play around with. would you happen to know some? Jul 04 23:51:28 Many. Jul 04 23:51:41 bifferos.com beagleboard.org tincantools.com Jul 04 23:52:06 <_ABC> SpeedEvil: thanks! Jul 04 23:52:14 also the ngw100 Jul 04 23:52:28 http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=4102 Jul 04 23:52:40 ngw100 rocks Jul 04 23:52:41 also gumstix of course - but tehy are fairly expensive Jul 04 23:52:53 have 4 of them sitting here Jul 04 23:53:10 <_ABC> k' Jul 04 23:53:23 only downside to the ngw100, is that it's USB slave only Jul 04 23:53:25 no host mode Jul 04 23:53:56 <_ABC> with features like multitouch screen would be awesome Jul 04 23:54:11 multitouch screen is hard.

But 6 layer boards aren't _that_ expensive Jul 04 23:56:41 _ABC: AVR32 are $10 or so Jul 04 23:56:42 the great part about avr(32) is the open source approach Jul 04 23:57:10 atmel is quite active in providing free and open tools to work with their MCUs Jul 04 23:57:12 <_ABC> SpeedEvil: LPCs are $7.00 or lower Jul 04 23:57:50 <_ABC> yea i agree with ndnihil..they have nice app notes too Jul 04 23:58:29 and their dev boards are quite well made Jul 04 23:58:39 $16@25 Jul 04 23:58:40 my stk500 has taken some major abuse Jul 04 23:59:02 LPC - 32 bit ones with external memory interface, and .....
