01:57.24Aphroswhat am I supposed to do?
01:57.50the_sys0pThe Wizard project isn't far enough along yet to have GPE or OPIE to my knowledge...
01:58.06Aphroswhoops ok

12:24.19lamahell.o
12:24.32lamahow useful is HTC Blue Angel with Linux now?
12:24.44lamacan I make voice calls and Linux?
12:25.47lamawhat about battery life/suspend?
12:40.47pH5lama: see http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngel
12:41.03pH5afaik 2.6.12 works more or less, but current kernels need some more work
12:41.12lamaI've seen it
12:41.35lamaI'm asking how it does in reality
12:42.14lamait looks quite good on paper...
12:43.25lamaI have Jornada 720, it can run netbsd, and linux has quite good support on paper also but due to few bugs it's not very useful
12:47.36pH5lama: I don't have a blueangel, so what I know about 2.6.12 is only hearsay. But I know that there is no phone driver in the current cvs kernel yet.
12:50.34lamapH5: what device do you have?
12:50.51lamaor, what HTC has best support?
12:51.25lamaI'm thinking about buying phone with qwerty and wince
12:51.39lamalinux would be great too, even crappy one ;]
12:52.49pH5I have a magician, which has similar hardware, but it is smaller and without keys. I think the best supported htc devices are universal and magician currently.
12:52.56lamaI've been thinking so far about Wizard or Eten M700 but today I have found that HTC BLue Angel has quite good specs too, from my point of view it lacks only edge/umts, and it's bit too big ;)
12:53.33pH5I like the hermes, but its port is still in very early stages.
12:53.46lamaoh, I don't like universal and magican - first is too big and second lacks qwerty
12:54.21lamahermes is too expensive here for me and it doesn't have jack, usb-phones sux
12:56.04lamaI wonder how useful is Blue Angel with ppc2003 in daily use, I would like to use ssh and operamini over gprs, now I use edge phone and it's fine but bit laggy sometimes
12:56.31pH5no idea. wince is but just a big linux bootloader for me.
12:56.35lamahaha;]
12:56.58lamait used to be bootloader for me too, on Jornada 690 - but I have been using netbsd then
12:57.27lamaso what HTC phones can make viuce calls with linux running
12:57.42lamas/viuce/voice
12:58.00pH5heh. jornada 690 isn't on the small side either. I had one, but it got stolen before I started to install linux on everything.
12:58.02*** join/#htc-linux skodde (n=skodde@unaffiliated/skodde)
12:58.23lamanow I have 720
12:58.25pH5I know the magician can. And I think universal can too.
12:58.40lamasame size, quite big yes, thats why I'm looking for something smaller
12:58.47pH5And with the old kernel, blueangel is supposed to work, too. but I'm not sure about that.
12:58.51lamaand with gsm module
12:59.39lamalooks universal has 4 OSes now ;]
12:59.56pH5the m700 looks nice, too. but it's a samsung cpu and therefore probably not very well supported yet.
13:00.09pH54?
13:00.09lamas/4/3
13:00.19lamawm5, wm6, and Linux ;]
13:04.01pH5well, so does every device that has wm2003se, wm5 and linux :)
13:04.49lamamy jornada also have 3 OSes: wince 3.0 (HPC 2000), linux, netbsd;]
13:08.21lamaare there any Blue Angel users?
13:15.42pH5There are a few, but I haven't seen them lately.

13:34.00meredyddHmm.
13:34.21meredyddI don't suppose there are any UMTS phones where Linux supports the UMTS data, apart from the obscenely clunky Universal?
13:35.28cr2hermes, but it's not yet working.
13:39.17meredyddOoh.
13:39.31meredyddHumm...is there someone working on that?
13:40.27meredydd(more specifically, how much work would it be, and would it be worthwhile getting my employers to post a bounty?)
13:43.51cr2i have created an entry code for it, but it still does not boot. since there is no serial port, i need to merge some early framebuffer debugging code into the kernel.
13:44.58cr2our main experience is with the pxa2xx-based phones, this one has s3c24xx samsung CPU, so some additional wince tools need to be written to trace the gpios in a comfortable way.
13:45.55meredyddAh, so we're talking substantially different architecture here?
13:46.11meredyddYick :(
13:49.07cr2it's an ARM core, and the peripheral devices are very similar (if not the same), but the external CPU interface is different.
13:50.25cr2don't be upset, some s3c24xx-based devices are already supported, and the openmoko code is also for the s3c2410. it will be released in 2 weeks.
13:51.28meredyddHmm, okay then.
13:52.08meredyddI'm just hemming and hawwing, trying to decide whether to splash out on something that currently works, but only supports GPRS, or hold out for Linux support on something with UMTS
13:55.50cr2take umts. my personal advice.

14:13.06meredyddMmm.
14:13.37meredyddThat's probably sensible, cr2, as I'm not actually likely to have time to make a concept phone before the summer :P
14:14.08lamaumts has two drawbacks from my point of view
14:14.19lamait consumes more power
14:14.43lamaand if I'm in umts range then I can find bettter net solutions (read wifi) ;]
14:15.24meredyddMmm...not so in the UK.
14:15.49meredyddI can get UMTS just about anywhere, but hotspots are rare and expensive
14:31.23lamathere is umts outside cities and towns ?
14:36.43pH5damn, I don't get the wake-up interrupts from the gsm chipset anymore..

16:50.02cr2pH5: moko uses "TI Calypso". is it the same chipset ??
16:54.43pH5cr2: according to gsmweb.nl, the himalaya has a ti calypso bb too.
16:56.10pH5http://www.gsmweb.nl/gsmweb/forms/fullspec/qt2020i.htm
16:58.22cr2ba has the same chipset.

16:59.04cr2should i post your link to the ML ? :)
17:00.00pH5and magician has certainly the same chipset as the blueangel (heck, the firmware is nearly identical)
17:00.28pH5so I guess those are all based on this ti calypso platform, just with custom-built kernels.
17:00.31cr2then the alpine too.
17:01.44pH5http://www.my-qtek.com/pdf/Qtek_9090.pdf
17:01.58pH5this one looks nearly official.
17:02.12pH5"TI Calypso + IOTA GSM/GPRS solution"
17:03.19cr2this pdf is "htc confidential" :)
17:03.49pH5so post that to the ML! ;)
17:04.02cr2renatostore should trace the AT command port.
17:04.05cr2ok :)
17:04.50cr2quote ->
17:04.53cr2We're using a Ti Calypso chipset. Unfortunately this stuff is all
17:04.53cr2under _super_ NDA :-(
17:04.53cr2AKA: If I post a datasheet I would get the CEO of FIC fired within 24 hours

17:07.55pH5ouch
17:08.50cr2i guess it's related to the gsm crypto & stuff.
17:10.39pH5probably. well, perhaps I can learn something from their kernel driver already. I hope they connect it in a similar way.
17:14.24cr2certainly. they may have some other mux/prefix variant.
17:14.43cr2that's why it is interesting what renatostore will see on alpine.
17:15.07pH5right, AT+WMUX isn't used on the magician at all. I wonder if there is support for that in the radio firmware
17:15.28pH5grr.
17:17.39cr2strings rilgsm.dll
17:18.18cr2but it's a logical move. the hw is outdated, well tested and certified. should be cheap to use.
17:21.33pH5I agree. Also using the same BB chip that I already have is a nice move :)
17:21.34cr2AT+CGREF=0  on magician ?
17:21.39cr2is it a typo ?
17:21.46cr2lol.
17:22.40cr2test moko on magician, while waiting for the "real thing".
17:22.48cr2hmm. only universal has vga lcd.
17:23.24pH5If they didn't just tease me, I'll get one of the phase 0 devices.
17:24.19pH5CGREF? should be CGREG
17:26.37pH5"strings radio_.decoded | grep CMUX" returns "F+CMUX" and "+CMUX: %s", so I might be lucky..
17:30.14cr2http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_GSM
17:30.29cr2says CGREF=0 in the init block for magician
17:30.58pH5I'll correct that
17:32.18cr2ok.

19:29.35Foxdiehi goxboxlive
19:29.50Foxdiecan I report a problem to you for htc-linux on the universal?
19:30.29goxboxliveFoxdie: Yes of course
19:31.42Foxdiefirst of all, I've confirmed this bug on both opie and gpe versions
19:31.47Foxdiethrough multiple clean installs
19:31.55FoxdieI've double checked I have all the latest files
19:32.22goxboxliveok
19:32.24Foxdiewhen I boot with WiFi enabled all input (touchscreen and keyboard) is not responsive
19:32.37Foxdiethe clock will update so it's not totally crashed
19:32.49Foxdieand I can kill the window manager by pressing mail + internet + del
19:33.28Foxdieif I boot with wifi disabled, it works perfectly
19:33.28Foxdiebut without wifi :)
19:33.37goxboxliverealy, i have never tried that. Is that when you are trying a fresh image or is with and image that have been runned before. I'll try boot my linux card with wifi enabled. Hold pn.
19:33.58FoxdieI am trying with fresh image
19:34.03Foxdiecompletely newly formatted SD card, all latest files
19:34.40Foxdiethe only slightly different thing is perhaps because my SD card is 2GB it may not like it
19:34.42goxboxliveIf you boot without wifi you just load the module and then it wifi should work.
19:35.16goxboxliveFoxdie: Do you mean wifi enabled in linux or in WInCE?
19:35.19Foxdiemain partition is 1.7gb, the remaining 200 or so MB is allocated to ext3 for the boot partition
19:35.36Foxdiewifi enabled in windows mobile 2005 just before running HaRet
19:35.51goxboxliveok
19:36.40goxboxliveshit forgot o enable wifi
19:37.34Foxdiein which? your boot process now to test, or in your release?
19:39.19goxboxliveI havent experind the problem my self, so i am testing to boot linux on my universal with Wfifi enabled in Wince and i have also deleted /etc/pointrecal to let it calibrate once again.
19:39.57goxboxliveI guess the problem is the driver htcuniversal_acx.c . It is a buggy driver and needs some clean up. It has nothing to do with Opie/gpe .
19:42.50goxboxliveFoxdie: Yes, i have the same problem. My touchscreen is dead. Great that you solved this.
19:42.58goxboxliveThanks a lot
19:43.28FoxdieI'm sorry to give you more work to do ;)
19:43.29goxboxliveHave you tried to boot with the acx module loaded, is it behaveing the same ?
19:44.18FoxdieI don't know how to do that, but I'll follow any instructions you give, I would like to help
19:44.21goxboxliveNo, for me this is not more work, I am not the one who has made the drivers, i only make the images. Cr2 is the guy who has done that work.
19:44.44goxboxliveI can try my self, to see.
19:46.48Foxdieah ok
19:47.06Foxdieis there anything I can do to help?
19:47.25Foxdieyou guys give me a free distro for my pda, the least I can do is help a little ;)
19:49.48goxboxliveFoxdie: Well you have been very helpfull to now. But what we need is help to test the images and solve problems like you did now.
19:49.55Foxdiecool
19:50.24Foxdiewould you like me to test that modules thing?
19:50.39Foxdieyou may have to explain how to do it for me, but I'll do it if it aids you guys
19:51.03goxboxliveI mam testing it now. It just to try to boot with the acx module loaded and see if the same thing happens

19:53.12goxboxliveIf you want to try yurself its just to "modprobe acx" and the "update-modules" The it should be loaded at boot. Also rememeber to delet pointrecal file in /etc before rebooting. It forces GUI to re calibrate
19:53.13renatostorehi all
19:54.57goxboxliveFoxdie: Could you post in the linux forum at xda-dev that you have solved the touchscreen problem and tell people to have wifi diabled for now when booting in to linux.
19:56.14goxboxlivehi renastore
19:56.38Foxdieokay goxboxlive
19:57.02goxboxliveFoxdie: Booting with acx enabeld didnt solve the problem. We have to fix the driver. I'll mention it for cr2
20:05.58goxboxliveOk, it didnt help to boot without acx and htcuniversal_acx unloaded.
20:06.05goxboxlivecr2: are around
