00:14.04Kevin2Hi
00:14.49Kevin2WizMaui_: Did you ever get a chance to see if latest haret runs on the Wizard?
00:16.44WizMaui_erm...nope
00:16.44WizMaui_our development on the wizard is somewhat stalled
00:16.44WizMaui_but I will try to get things going on in the next days
00:16.44Kevin2Well, the latest versions are at: http://www.handhelds.org/~koconnor/haret/  - I'd be curious if they run okay on your phone.
00:19.12WizMaui_ok, thanks for the hint, i will try it later this day

01:50.16goxboxliveDo you know where the cases er handled?
01:51.28Kevin2Hi
01:52.02Kevin2goxboxlive: You mean upper case / lower case ?
01:52.16_scatterpno :(
01:53.33goxboxliveKevin2, no, in the qtopia source there are some cases for each key.. If i want to add one more, how do i know wich case that is free?
01:53.46goxboxliveI'll do a pastebin and you see what i mean
01:54.36goxboxliveKevin2: http://pastebin.ca/295082
01:59.50Kevin2goxboxlive: I'm not familiar with qtopia, but it looks like it is mapping linux key codes (see include/linux/input.h).
02:00.33goxboxlivethx

02:44.54lkcl_goboxlive: as long as your 'keyboard' provides a shift key and/or a capslock key, i believe it's handled in userspace.
02:45.36lkcl_kernelspace works by sending 'this key went down' and 'this key went back up' events.
02:46.20lkcl_userspace then interprets those further, because the overlap of two 'down' events (e.g. a down shift followed by a down a) means different things, obviously.
02:48.41lkcl_i take it you've looked at pxa27x_keyboard.c - it's pretty damn simple.  the critical function is input_report_key(input_device, SCAN_CODE, up_or_down)

07:24.39Kevin2If you're looking to control the LEDs, see the files in /sys/class/led/ -- the kernel has support for led manipulation from userspace.

10:20.16goxboxliveI am using a startup script, and not starting just qpe. I missed a lot of exporting.
10:20.56goxboxliveBabelO here is a startupscript

10:21.42BabelOthanks
10:22.30goxboxliveBabelO: I also started with a clean one, made out of the example device
10:23.20BabelOgoxboxlive: i m compiling greenphone platform to test before switching to device
10:23.35BabelObut can't compile with tslib support :(
10:24.52goxboxliveThat's maybe why i cant get TS working then.

11:52.30rob_wif i use  this PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-handhelds-2.6" it starts building from that linux.kernel26_anoncvs.handhelds.org_K2-6-16-hh8_.tar.gz  how can i get it to use the latest 2.6.XX-hhX.bb ??
11:52.49rob_woh that was meant for #oe
11:56.51cr2hi
11:57.27BabelOhi cr2
11:57.29cr2rob_w: why do you want to create a separate config for ba ?
11:57.53cr2hi BabelO
11:57.58rob_wi dont
11:58.13cr22-6-16-hh8 ?
11:58.21cr2sounds very special to me.
11:59.47rob_wcr2, that is the preferred version from conf/distro/angstrom
12:00.12rob_wcr2, where did the latest ba stuff check into ?
12:00.55goxboxliverob_w I guess it's like the universal. You have to build form HEAD otherwise you want get the latest changes in the kernel
12:02.09rob_wgoxboxlive, so which string to i need as preferred kernel version ?? where did we check in all those suspend patches from asylumed ?
12:04.21goxboxliveAs i said, what's working for me is the uncomment the DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1" in linux-handhelds_cvs.bb and add the line koen wrote i the OE channel in your distro .conf file
12:04.48rob_whmm ok ..
12:05.59rob_wgoxboxlive, it is uncommented already , or should i comment it out ?
12:06.17goxboxlivecomment it out  (so it is not active)
12:06.26rob_waye
12:08.41cr2rob_w: what happens if you run the latest CVS kernel with the "universal" image ?
12:09.24rob_wnever use the universal .. i am in noluck to have one
12:10.02goxboxlivecr2: That can not be done until we have a common .config in the kernel source
12:12.13cr2goxboxlive: i have used it on ba, when you have created the first image for universal. a lot of things are broken (serial ports,etc), but it boots and the userspace is more or less ok.
12:19.10goxboxlivecr2: Yes i guess, but you have to replace the kernel image and the modules to let it work as it should, right?
12:19.59goxboxlivecr2: BabelO gave me a hint about the TS on Qtopia, it doesnt have TSLIB compiled in to it.
12:20.40goxboxliveAnd, i also managed to get BIG icons yesterday
12:21.54goxboxliveAnd i noticed that the keyboard also working without the kbdhandler.so file, the keys are placed in wrong places, but i guess that's just some minor tricking here and there.
12:21.58cr2goxboxlive: the modules should be different, that's true. i guess we should merge them with zimage/haret and copy at boot.
12:22.06cr2to the SD.
12:22.38cr2i have told you yesterday that there is no tslib startup message on runqpe :)
12:22.39goxboxliveok
12:22.46goxboxlive:-)
12:23.30cr2big icons means they are 2x stretched ?
12:23.46goxboxliveI have tried to configure with tslib, but i have no idea where to point to headers and libs: http://doc.trolltech.com/qtopia4.2/qtopiacore-pointer.html#available-drivers
12:24.08cr2the fonts are qpfs, afaik are not scalable, so they will be strected too ?
12:24.27cr2s/strected/stretched/
12:24.36goxboxlivecr2: icons is at least 2x. It looks good now, both in landscape and portrait. The Icons is scaleable
12:24.53goxboxliveThe text are looks good to
12:24.54cr2export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=Tslib:/dev/event/event0
12:25.07cr2png is not scalable.
12:25.23goxboxliveno png might not be, but svg is
12:25.30cr2it's all interpolation.
12:25.32cr2ok.
12:25.44cr2but where are the svg icons ?
12:25.44goxboxlivecr2: Do you have the universal in fornt of you or are you at work?
12:26.21cr2i'm at work, but i have the universal.
12:26.43goxboxliveYou just have to add 2 lines to your /opt/qtopia/etc/defaultbuttons.conf
12:27.15goxboxliveAnd in the runqpe file remove entries with QWSDisplay
12:27.42cr2ok, post the changes, i'll test them later.
12:27.47goxboxlivecr2: Add this to the end of the file: [Environment]
12:27.48goxboxliveQWS_DISPLAY=linuxfb:mmWidth75:mmHeight57
12:28.28goxboxliveWith that it will run in portrait mode.
12:28.40goxboxliveIf you want landscape you do it like this:
12:28.47goxboxlive[Environment]
12:29.04goxboxliveQWS_DISPLAY=Transformed:linuxfb:mmWidth75:mmHeight57:Rot270
12:29.21cr2hmm. can we query the portrait/landscape at start ?
12:29.38goxboxlivelike automatic?
12:30.16goxboxliveWe should realy have the navigation pad working now since we dont have any TS
12:31.10cr2yes. and since we know the LCD sizes for all our phones, we can create a database.
12:32.19goxboxliveok
12:33.27cr23.6"
12:35.45cr254.864 x 73.152 ?
12:36.44cr273 x 55 . you used 75 x 57.
12:38.23cr2BA is 71.12 x 53.34
12:38.29cr2hmm. almost the same.
12:39.33cr2magician 56.896 x 42.672
12:40.36cr2sable 53.8815 x 53.8815
12:42.31rob_wgoxboxlive, i still cant get oe to build my wished way of versioning
12:43.32goxboxliverob_w: did you add the line to angstrom.conf?
12:43.51goxboxliveI have had the same problem, therefor my own solutions wich koen says is wrong.
12:44.23rob_wi added koens string to htcblueangel.conf and commented the one you said .. then it took 2.6.12
12:46.06goxboxliveOk, i have a dirty hack for you if you want it, it might work, but it is SO dirty :-)
12:46.44goxboxliveNo, actually, dont it wouldnt work
12:47.43goxboxlivecr2_ I tried to export the tslib but it still failes: export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=Tslib:/dev/input/event0 (event0 is also touchscreen0 now, udev works)

21:42.24BabelOgcc 4.1.1 eabi
21:42.44cr2ok.
21:42.57cr2do you set the screen size in mm ?
21:43.31BabelOyes, like you say, but it is too big for me
21:43.50cr2which size did you set ?
21:44.13cr271.12 x 53.34
21:44.20cr253x71 ?
21:44.21BabelOyes
21:44.26cr2ok.
21:44.34cr2why is it too big ?
21:44.44BabelOicon are big
21:47.02cr2hmm. wondering how it will look on sable.
21:47.35BabelOit had a small screen ....
21:47.59cr2you should document the steps in a wiki somewhere.
21:48.02cr2240x240
21:49.00BabelOyes, but i have removed a test in configure file to have tslib working, i have to try again with a fresh compile
21:49.58cr2ok.
21:50.00BabelOoh, i have done a mistake :( you right mmWidth
21:50.14BabelObetter now :)
21:50.21cr2:)
21:50.39cr2now, what is BA specific in your setup ?
21:51.25BabelOnothing for the moment, i take greenphone setup as base and change MOUSE_PROTO in qpe.sh
21:52.07cr2ok.
21:52.21cr2battery indicator/sound are working ?
21:53.38BabelOi don't know for sound. for battery i ve made a blueangel_battery.c with to class entry Main and Backup
21:54.06BabelOs/to/two/
21:55.44cr2ok, it 's ba. no sound.
21:56.23BabelOcharge is working and led too. i have sent battery module to asymuled for test :)
21:56.37BabelOhe found some bug
21:57.49cr2ok.
21:58.08cr2camera ? :)
21:58.55BabelO:) i have integrated adcm i2c module into my 2.6.19 tree. but waiting your progress :)
21:59.17BabelOhave you some idea for universal ?
22:05.02cr2adcm is not enough. the w3200 capture registers ;)
22:06.04cr2the drivers are available on universal, but i don't understand how to put them in a bigger infrastructure.
22:06.28cr2just hardcoding /dev/video like on the greenphone is not good.
22:09.53BabelOcr2: what is the file that save calibration config ?
22:10.54cr2<PROTECTED>
22:12.00BabelOthanks, calibration does not work for me :(

22:18.36yaccJust wondering, do the GSM functionality work under Linux?
22:20.26aweluxwhat phone yacc ?
22:20.50yaccawelux: Any of the "usual" WinMobiles?
22:22.54cr2yes. on some of them. it's just lazyness that prevents the user-friendly operation.
22:23.06yaccOne can live with quite non-perfect details (I've been quite happy with a Linux Ipaq for some time), but no GSM/GPRS on a smartphone is somehow selfdefeating :(

22:25.32yaccpowersaving support?
22:26.58cr2yes.
22:27.49cr2you mean sw suspend/resume.
22:28.39yacccpu throttling and stuff. I admit I don't know the exact hardware => I've never considered buying a WinMobile ;)
22:28.56yaccWhat do you mean by user-unfriendly?
22:33.11cr2sms works over 'cu', for switching the phone mic you need to send the i2c command from shell ;)
22:34.27yaccWell, sms via AT commands is not really an issue for me, I've written some custom SMS sending tools some time ago. What do you mean with the phone mic?
22:34.57aweluxohhh. an application developer. we need these here :)
22:35.41yaccWell, currently I'm waiting for the FIC phone, let's see if they will be delivering by February ;)
22:36.14_scatterphi can some one explain the right side led on the htc universal to me made an external battery and it start to flash red whats that mean ?
22:36.22cr2the audio mixer should switch between BT mic/ builtin mic/ wired mic.
22:36.29aweluxthere are applications that let you dial a number. But apparently the generic applications don't know about details like switching on the microphone which has to be done seperately.
22:36.54cr2yacc: to be honest, i'm not that excited by FIC hardware ;)
22:36.55yaccOh.
22:37.32yaccawelux: yeah, the GSM AT commands don't deal with where your sound comes from or goes to. It seems the authors assumed you'll wire it up yourself.
22:37.33cr2the wince gui does not really let you to chose the mic too.
22:38.26cr2yacc: i can write the kernel part of the mixer, but somebody with the alsa usespace knowledge should give his hand on the userspace side.
22:40.33cr2well, this is the core problem for the phone support.
22:40.59cr2there is some alsa mixer code in gomunicator
22:41.35cr2but gomunicator is a wild hack currently.
22:41.55cr2there are some attempts to adapt gnokii AT code
22:42.16cr2and there is some phone support in qtopia4.2
22:42.48yacccr2: I'm excited by the fact that the hardware will be "supported", and technically speaking the exact hardware specs are not yet published. ;)
22:44.26cr2yeah. we have better hardware knowledge of many htc phones.
22:44.56cr2and the universal is effectively hacked completely.
22:45.05aweluxif you buy the "wrong" phone the hardware won't be supported. But fortunately HTC doesn't reinvent the wheel mall the time so when a new phone comes out most of the older drivers work with minor tweaks.
22:45.30_scatterphey can some one tell me about the led on the right of the htc universal like what the diffrent color codes mean ?
22:45.49cr2awelux: the switched frm pxa27x to s3c2442 now, which is a painful roadblock for us.
22:46.20aweluxah. yea intel delivered good documentation.
22:46.26cr2our pxa27x hacking tools and experience are excellent, but we need to retool to samsung.
22:47.13cr2_scatterp: in wince ? there are 2 HW leds, red and green there.
22:47.26_scatterpyes
22:47.39_scatterpwhat does solid orange mean
22:47.42cr2red- battery dead, green - battery full
22:47.45_scatterpand flashing red

22:50.06_scatterpdont have it is there an online copy
22:50.12_scatterpjust have the service manual here
22:50.41cr2should be.
22:50.53cr2i don't read wince manuals
22:51.29_scatterpi found a german copy but i dont read german :S
22:52.00cr2post a link.
22:53.22aweluxBut at least there is a documentation of the chip registeres available from samsung. Which is a big plus opposed to ti.

22:56.04yaccThe Hermes ones are the only UMTS ones?
22:57.01cr2yacc: universal too.
22:57.08cr2but it's big.
22:57.41yaccI'm currently carrying a 9500. Big is relative ;)
22:57.42cr2red and orange blinking in turn means a video call. interesting.
22:57.53yacccr2: But no phone support on these :(
22:58.14cr2yacc: universal is the phone with the best linux support.
22:58.31yacccr2: really? The wiki says no phone?
22:59.01cr2no user-friendly phone. all others are even worse in this respect.
22:59.35cr2and no UMTS of course. because i don't have a data contract.
22:59.38aweluxnothing in there about the red led. On the magician red means that the battery is really empty and the phone can't boot.
23:00.01cr2awelux: it's the same on universal and blueangel.
23:00.29aweluxBut then it's not flashing but just emitting a constant light.
23:00.29cr2found only 2 occasions of LED on 224 pages.
23:00.33cr2yes.
23:00.42BabelOon ba with wm2005 red led blink on missed call or message
23:00.52cr2searching for "red"
23:00.58aweluxdid that cr2 :)
23:01.02cr2ok.
23:01.57yacccr2: no UMTS? UMTS is usually not different from GPRS on the AT command level. (No idea how much of the stuff is emulated in software).
23:02.38yacccr2: As it happens, I do have an UMTS flatrate SIM card, well at least in Germany ;)
23:06.51cr2the data goes through USB. the command and datapath are different.
23:07.38yacccr2: Well, data usually goes through the same "serial" device which takes AT commands.
23:07.53yacccr2: So no GPRS support either?
23:09.35cr2no.
23:10.13cr2data and command are separate on all HTC phones, and on moto a780 and i guess will be on FIC phones.
23:10.52cr2http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Serial
23:16.02yaccWell, the FIC phones are supposed to have 16 "virtual" serial devices, but no details yet. *whine*
23:21.29yacccr2: So if I do a ATD*99# on a HTC box, I'm supposed to use a different device for pppd?
23:22.19cr2yacc: it's like on the a780.
23:22.25cr2yacc: yes.
23:22.33cr2a780 also has 16 ports.
23:23.04cr2i suspect, that such miltiplexed port is also used on the htc phones.
23:23.15yaccAnd that USB based port is not yet tested/supported on Universal handhelds?
23:23.26cr2there was one report from the blueangel, where GPRS was working.
23:23.58cr2the USB port support is there (as USB serial), but i don't have any data logs from.
23:26.01yaccyou mean you have not tried it yet?
23:26.46cr2yes.
23:28.24yaccWell, let's see what FIC comes up with. And if they don't deliver till February, I might get tempted to look for MDApro on Ebay ;)
23:28.33yaccbtw, Simlock is probably not an issue with Linux?
23:28.55cr2there should be some multiplexing IMO, because there are video calls and GPS "substream"
23:29.09cr2simlock is not a problem on universal.
23:29.41cr2it's not a linux issue, but the phone CPU issue.
23:31.21cr2FIC and universal are two different things. i'd like to know when FIC will come up with something like universal. bt+wifi+umts+2 cams.
23:31.22Kevin2Hi
23:32.15cr2all with linux support. all free software, not some snake oil.
23:32.18cr2hi Kevin

23:33.14yaccI'd be happy enough with EGPRS and BT, but I'll that GPRS alone too.
23:33.50Kevin2Hi cr2 - what's new?
23:33.52yacccr2: E+ does not have EGRPS :(
23:35.33yacccr2: What snake oil?
23:36.40cr2AGPS. i'm really pissed of about the issue. i have a hw6915 with the same GL chipset, connected over SPI.
23:37.12cr2tracing highspeed SPI in wince proved to be a complex issue.
23:37.32yacccr2: Well, GPS is not an issue for me. I tend to buy cars with buildin navigation, so I don't see much use for GPS on a phone anyway.
23:37.34cr2but we have some success.
23:37.44cr2ok.
23:38.41cr2well, then what is the advantage of FIC for you ?
23:39.12cr2in universal they simple did not solder the GPS chip, but the motherboard was laid out for it.
23:39.39*** join/#htc-linux ellisway (n=ellis@host-87-74-241-174.bulldogdsl.com)
23:39.42yaccIt's all supported, and it's cheap enough that I can buy it directly (that's a psychological thing, I don't give more than 300EURs for a phone.)
23:40.11cr2i'm curious what they will do with BT.
23:40.25yacccr2: Yeah, BT would be really really nice to have.
23:40.55cr2they understand that without BT they will be pissing off a lot of people. but it was obvioulsly not in their original plans.
23:41.08yaccEspecially, buying mobile "endpieces" for Audi and VW both is an expensive hobby. And I guess there won't be any endpieces for the FIC phone.
23:41.46cr2sure. you need to create them yourself :)
23:42.12yaccWell, BT solves the problem.
23:42.22cr2i also dislike the defacto nonupgradable firmware on the FIC phone.
23:42.30yaccdefacto?
23:43.03cr2they say "requires proprietary TI software and you will not get it"
23:43.38cr2also something about "firmware install over phone jack". that's a real SNAFU.
23:44.03yacccr2: Where did you get that details from?
23:44.14Kevin2I've uploaded a new version of haret -- http://www.handhelds.org/~koconnor/haret/haret-20061229.exe  -- this version does a good job of monitoring all gpio actions during an FFUART trace.  I think we may have all the tools now to decipher the phone protocol.
23:44.28cr2when i can replace the GSM fw in linux (!) on universal.
23:44.48cr2yacc: i'm on the openmoko ml. read the archives.
23:45.26cr2Kevin2: i'll check it on jornada820 :)
23:45.27yacccr2: Well, they still didn't commit on the exact hw specs ;)
23:47.57cr2it's all what the project manager said.
23:48.10yacccr2: yes, but the MDApro I cannot yet use as a normal phone, ...
23:48.50yacccr2: I'm currently waiting. Technically speaking, I fear, I'll have to pay my income taxes this year earlier. (They moved the deadline 3 months or so this year :( )
23:49.14cr2we'll just port FIC software when it'll come out.
23:49.23cr2ok.
23:52.06lkcl_cr2: i'm up for that.
23:52.18Kevin2Anyone know of a CDMA based linux phone on the market?  I'm looking for something that might help decode these weird strings sent to and from the modem chip.
23:55.43cr2Kevin2: the weird strings are mostly responses on your phone ?
23:56.14cr2maybe motorola has something like that ? but i doubt it.
23:56.52cr2the interesting thing is that there is 0x4 CDMA blueangel, and it is reported to work with gomunicator (!)
23:57.22cr2which sends the usual AT strings, packed into this mux proto.
23:57.35Kevin2See http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/ApachePhoneTrace -- during phone init, these 268 byte strings are sent to/from the phone.
23:57.38cr2will not help you, probably.
