13:06.14renatostoreph5: hi
13:06.24renatostorei can't run minicom
13:06.28renatostoreon alpine
13:06.56renatostorewhat is the phone application on xanadux?
13:09.34pH5hi renatostore, I don't know what phone application could be used in OPIE.
13:19.54renatostorethere is not a standard phone application?
13:20.15renatostorewhat do you use?
13:21.48pH5gomunicator for voice/SMS and a shell script + pppd for GPRS
13:22.20renatostorecan i use it on opie?
13:23.03pH5+ there is the gpephone stack now and later today openmoko will be released. all of them don't work with opie.
13:24.03cr2hi
13:24.17cr2renatostore: why you can't run minicom ?
13:24.45pH5hi cr2
13:24.55renatostorecr2: i can't run minicom on the device for "screen is too small"
13:25.25cr2run it in text mode.
13:26.01cr2login over ssh over usb.
13:34.16renatostorei ran it in a console on the device
13:35.25renatostoreph5: so opie hasn't an application for phone
13:36.36pH5renatostore: I don't know. I've never seen opie.
13:36.51renatostorecr2: what do you use on universal?
13:37.01cr2renatostore: there is no real support infrastructure for the phone. to write a gui is not a problem.
13:37.29cr2for the phone ? nothing. otherwise opie and soon qtopia.
13:37.53cr2babeloued has written some phone support for qtopia based on gnokii.
13:38.15cr2but i'm waiting for the gsmd code from moko.
13:40.08cr2http://www.smart2go.com still says "coming soon".
13:42.12renatostorecr2: the only way to use minicom is by ssh?
13:47.26cr2renatostore: you can use 'cu' if it is installed.
13:48.06cr2it's only for testing, so you don't need to care about it.
13:48.18cr2is your phone on /dev/ttyS1 ?
13:49.15cr2hm, yes. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Serial
13:49.20cr2then try
13:49.21pH5cr2: yes. btuart for at commands and the asic5uart for data
13:49.27cr2od -x /dev/ttyS1
13:49.39cr2ok.
13:50.34cr2pH5: btw, what is missing on alpine for the hardware support ?
13:51.57pH5regarding the phone?
13:51.58pH5An uart driver for asic5 would be cool. I have no idea how that part works.
13:53.23cr2me too. 'wi' seems to be the best option. serial is slow.
13:53.59cr2backlight/lcd power ? cpu suspend/resume ?
13:55.05pH5cr2: as far as I know all of this is still missing.
13:57.09dullardis there a list of known at commands about?
13:57.46pH5dullard: generic -->etsi? for a specific device -->which one?
13:58.01cr2pH5: ok, but without having a device you can't do 'wi', only ida_pro.
13:58.16cr2dullard: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_GSM ?
13:58.17dullardgeneric but I'm specifically interested in the universal
13:58.47dullardthanks cr2... now why couldn't I find that?
13:59.26pH5cr2: btw, did you compare that list to the AT+CLAC output on the universal?
14:00.07cr2pH5: there is no CLAC on the universal.
14:00.23pH5ah ok.
14:00.57cr2and there are some more clandestine commands on universal, not included in the list.
14:15.57cr2pH5: do you know x11 good enough ? :)

14:27.11pH5cr2: no :)
14:28.42cr2i have a windows program running in wine.
14:29.03cr2i can find the window id (how?)
14:29.17cr2and then i'd like to do the following:
14:29.37cr2xsetkeyevent KEY_LEFT -id ID
14:30.11cr2xwd -id ID -silent |xwdtopnm| pnmtotiff > picture.tiff

14:30.23cr2the last one is clear.
14:30.32spongedjust reporting back from yesterday.. it works! I type and tap this from opie-irc on my universal. Massive thanks to anyone involved - this is great!
14:30.48cr2but how do i send the KEY event to a random window ?
14:31.12cr2without writing an own xlib program.
14:31.52pH5hm. that last part ruined it for me :)
14:32.21pH5wasn't there some kind of scope app to get the window ID?
14:32.37pH5sending keys is easily done via XTest, but is there a simple cmdline program for that?
14:34.16cr2xscope ?
14:34.38spongedBTW, I found I had to modprobe acx,  because of the wlan/tapscreen bug, and then setting the essid, I had to add an extra digit in the iwconfig commandline for it to appear correctly
14:34.50cr2only xprop and xev come to my mind.
14:34.53pH5there is xlsclients -l
14:35.25renatostorecr2:  i'm tring gpe but it's blocket at splash screen "open embedded"
14:35.30pH5ah, xwininfo!
14:35.37cr2pH5: ok, that works :)
14:35.53renatostorecr2: i can't connect via usb
14:35.55cr2thanks.
14:36.10renatostorethere is a way to turn off splash screen
14:36.11renatostore?
14:36.26cr2renatostore: there is, but i have forgot it.
14:37.11pH5renatostore: psplash=false on the kernel cmdline
14:37.27pH5or move /etc/init.d/psplash out of the way
14:38.30cr2hm. linux-handhelds-2.6-2.6.16-hh9-r0 ???
14:38.59spongedOh, one other thing, first time round, tap and hold on opie's battery icon froze the uni (soft reset worked) I guess this is a known thing..
14:39.52cr2sponged: no.
14:40.16cr2sponged: put it into the hh.org wiki bug list.
14:40.49spongedAh. I read there were some known power issues, so I thought that was it.
14:41.21spongedI'll try and verify it, and do what you say, cr2
14:41.26cr2which power issues ?
14:41.51spongedcharging not working, overheating..
14:41.53cr2the leds are not contolled by the power driver, but it's a minor issue.
14:42.17spongedI think I read that in the xda-devel forum thread
14:42.18cr2it was some time ago. but you can test by yourself.
14:42.33cr2xda-dev thread is >1 year long :)

14:43.08spongedI know - it's a monster!
14:43.58spongedso charging should work now? the battery readout says 100%, but I know that's wrong..
14:46.12renatostorecr2: kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill init
14:48.17cr2sponged: look into the /sys/class/battery*
14:48.31cr2renatostore: ?
14:49.12renatostorethis happened after locate-base-de-de
14:49.55renatostoreand configuring locate-base-en-gb
14:50.26renatostoreand configuring locate-base-fr-fr
14:51.30renatostorecr2: second tentative ok
14:52.44cr2renatostore: this is for gpe ?
14:59.15renatostoreyes
14:59.21renatostorenow it is ok
14:59.43renatostorebut gomunicator says: can't find /dev/gsm0
15:00.06renatostoreeven the mixer
15:04.01cr2ok, then it does not know about alpine ?
15:04.27cr2pH5: have you tried gpephone ? it's in oe now.
15:06.18cr2hmm. wine does not have any commanline options now ??
15:15.29renatostorecr2: how can i test phone?
15:26.48pH5cr2: not yet. I just downloaded the sources
15:39.24pH5renatostore: I needed to patch gomunicator to make it work
15:39.34pH5http://en.pastebin.ca/350573
15:40.04pH5things will be different once openmoko gsmd is released (hopefully)
15:54.52pH5I already don't like phoneserver. It depends on sqlite3 via lib{ab,msg}enabler.

21:13.30goxboxlivecr2: sir yes sir
21:14.31cr2:D
21:14.56cr2being paid for is not a medicine against vaporware
21:15.11cr2first nokia maps, second http://planet.openmoko.org
21:18.11goxboxliveSo it's delayed again
21:19.11cr2it seems so.
21:19.26cr2pH5  has tried to compile the gpephone
21:19.42cr2but i don't know the result.
21:20.34goxboxliveok, thought that the release of openmoko was tomorrow.
21:21.16goxboxliveI talked to floraian and he said that gpephone might build for arm devices, but there might be some problem with VGA screens
21:21.22cr2btw, why oe uses 2.6.16 kernel for universal ?
21:21.32goxboxlive<florian> goxboxlive: yes... but it will be some effort to make the ui support the vga screen properly
21:21.48goxboxliveit depends on wich distor you choose
21:22.22cr2ok, so my idea to drop it completely was not bad.
21:23.33cr2i think we should create a compile script that will include the modules into zimage, and compile zimages for the phones we support.
21:23.34ljpbest bet is qtopia ? :)
21:24.11cr2ljp: of course, but the phone support infrastructure ...
21:25.13cr2i don't understand why it is not opened. the whole stuff is dual-licensed anyway, so nobody can steal anything.
21:25.23ljpwouldnt be too difficult to write something, the API is public
21:26.00ljpcr2: I have been pushing for it to get gpl'd
21:26.09cr2yes, but it's reinventing the wheel ...
21:26.12cr2i know.
21:26.32ljpthey think they will loose revenue if they GPL that
21:26.37ljpin China
21:28.33cr2i understand their fears, but a real working environment on a mass-market phone is a much bigger advantage.
21:29.24cr2and this part is device-specific to such an extent, that writing new code is necessary anyway for each phone.
21:36.01*** join/#htc-linux WizMaui (n=WizMaui@62.112.90.231)
21:37.24ljpI could release binary phone stuff, if I had an htc
21:37.44ljpwhile not perfect 'open', it might work some
21:38.55goxboxliveljp: Then i think you should ask TT if they could buy one for you.
21:39.03cr2ok, but there are 2 phone types: TI-gsm and MSM-umts

21:44.43cr2we are talking about the qtopia phone app :)
21:45.49BabelOuedah yes, i ve some problem with that to understand xml theme view to integrate plugin
21:46.09BabelOuedcr2 do you have any news about sound on BA ?
21:46.26BabelOuedmaybe waiting for 2.6.20 to have full soc sound support
21:46.35cr2no, but we can try to move it forward.
21:47.02fluffs2.6.21 should be the release with s3c24xx ASoC support
21:47.35cr2fluffs: what about ak4641 ?
21:47.54fluffsshouldn't be difficult to do a codec driver for it
21:48.08cr2i'd like to debug the hermes boot before fosdem.
21:48.19fluffswhat is the problem?
21:48.20cr2fluffs: can you start ? :)
21:48.51fluffsi can also middle and finish
21:49.00cr2the first problem was the serial debug. we have the phone on the 1 serial port
21:49.19cr2BT on the second, and IR on the third.
21:49.28fluffsi'd send it out the IR
21:49.46cr2so pushing 'Uncompressing Linux .....' to the phone is not very useful.
21:50.22fluffsthe low-level uart options should allow you to move it to uart2
21:50.25cr2i had hard time already on the universal to use raw IR consoile.
21:51.30cr2so i wanted to add the pixel writing support to the early boot. like it was done on omap730 and is pretty straitforward to port.

21:59.28cr2fluffs: i have put all the code to hh.org CVS. the fb, nand and serial config is taken from wince. the kernel compiles, but does not want to boot.
22:01.22cr2btw, hermes also has the ak4641 chip, so asoc can be tested there too. i.e. not only on the pxa, but on s3c2442 too.

22:13.15cr2no much progress.
22:16.08lamikrHave you also been busy with other issues than linux devices?
22:16.53cr2of course :) i'm reading the students reports right now
22:17.25lamikroh, so you are also teaching in the university?
22:18.04fluffscr2: much rather see as much as possible into the mainline kernel
22:22.51cr2lamikr: do you think i'm paid for hacking on linux kernel ? :)
22:24.05cr2fluffs: i don't know so much about the s3c24xx as about pxa. that's a problem. and we don't have such excellent hw debug support in haret for s3c24xx as for pxa27x.
22:24.49ljpi could possibly get TT to buy one (and pay for shipping), if I could find a good one.

22:46.23cr2lamikr: yes, but in the university one should also sometimes teach the students too.
22:46.48cr2fluffs: which one ? hermes ?
22:47.04fluffsyeah
22:47.35cr2ljp: buy the universal
22:48.58cr2fluffs: hermes is very similar to the universal inside, but has s3c24xx cpu.
22:49.15cr2and the ati video chip.
22:49.37cr2i guess we will spend some time to port w100 to it.
22:50.24cr2fluffs: then write "dump gpio" for haret :)
22:51.45cr2compared to strongarm and pxa, s3c24xx is really unnecessary complicated inside.
22:52.26fluffs?
22:52.54cr2the gpio setup blows my mind ;)
22:53.12sheepywhat do you like about the s3c24xx based devices fluffs?
22:53.51fluffsthey're not bad little chips, and cheaper than pxas
22:54.29sheepyi found a blueangel on ebay for ~$100 US
22:55.10sheepyi was thinking of getting it to play with even though my main phone is Apache (Sprint doesnt support GSM :(  )
22:55.21cr2sheepy: not bad. if it works .
22:55.37sheepythe vendor had good reputation
22:55.56cr2good idea.
22:56.08sheepydoes the ATI chip support OpenGL?
22:56.14cr2i think we should really finish it.
22:56.18cr2which one ?
22:56.21fluffshmm, i should get to bed soon
22:56.23sheepybecause XGL would be hot ;)
22:56.35sheepythe ATI chip on the BA
22:57.11cr2fluffs: will you work on ak4641 ? your help with s3c24xx will be great too.
22:57.17fluffspossibly
