== Page goal ==

I think the functions should be limited to:

1. Orient visitors, as a large fraction of them enter by this page (bookmarkability). We separate between newcomers, users and developers, so 3 boxes here.

2. Announce news and upcoming events. One box.

--[[User:MinhHaDuong|MinhHaDuong]] 10:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

== Earlier Page Design ==

Earlier page design was a lot better than the current state. Why we changed to this one. We are missing so much here. Specially the new visitors wont be able to get to the all the content that this Wiki has to offer.

Please revert
--[[User:Kunaldeo|Kunaldeo]] 07:22, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

:Thanks for the feedback! The wiki maintainers team have agreed that there was too much content on the main page, so we removed much of the content for developpers. Could you please tell us what you are missing on this page? Is there some specific content you would like to see here? We will probably be able to add it in again. --[[User:Marko Knöbl|Marko Knöbl]] 12:55, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

::I can figure out everything, but I feel The complete intro section was very useful "Introduction to Openmoko,Meet the original core team, Software Distributions New Framework Initiative License, Why Openmoko?" --[[User:Kunaldeo|Kunaldeo]] 17:18, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

:::I added a link to [[Why Openmoko]] in the "New to Openmoko?" box. I think this is a useful page, thanks for pointing this out! Please note that most of the section "Introduction to Openmoko" and the link to "Software Distributions" are still present. On the mailing list some have said that the contents of "Meet the original core team" and "license" are too specific for content of the main page, and I agree with that. I can't say anything about "New Framework Initiative" as I'm not a developer. Probably someone else can check if a link to this page is useful? --[[User:Marko Knöbl|Marko Knöbl]] 20:48, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

== Design notes ==

Please try to keep these elements in the top part of the screen (above the fold): Page title, motto, welcome statement, objective project definition, product picture, search box (not there yet !).

Please try to keep also on the page (not necessarily above the fold): links to other official information sources (trac, mailing lists, etc.), language chooser, more elaborated mission statement (historical overview), philosophical position, top level navigation within the wiki.

--[[User:MinhHaDuong|MinhHaDuong]] 10:29, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Please keep the language chooser on the top of the page.

Consider that not all the people in the world are familiar with English. An only-English wiki is considered as an index of a poor project. Please read my comment on the Translation point.

Thank you

--[[User:Panta|Panta]] 22:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

== 2007.2 link ==

In the software categories
The link to the 2007.2 distribution goes to a picture of the software stack. That is not very appealing. Maybe this link should point to a software description (as the link to ASU, FSO, Qtopia does).

--[[User:Feydreva|Feydreva]] 11:20, 1 August 2008 (ET)

:Thanks for pointing this out! I changed the link. --[[User:Galadh|Galadh]] 22:23, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

== Nav Bar on left ==

The Nav bar on the left is out of date, incorrect and has duplications.

Software is linked to a Developers page?
There are two community links/
There is a Press Coverage on the left and in the new part
What exactly is Technical, the whole site is technical.

There are many more items that make the nav bar on the left confusing, unproductive, incorrect and it needs to be fixed or wacked. Brenda seems to be attached to it or afraid to change it as this has come up before and all we got were lame excuses as to why it is like it is.

Please change it or remove it.

:I've made a few suggestions to the sidebar on [[MediaWiki_talk:Sidebar | its talk page]]. I think this discussion is probably best kept there. --[[User:Kbjorgensen|KB Jørgensen]] 19:11, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

== Translations ==

The continuous updating of pages result as an impossible-to-solve game to people who likes to localize wikie's pages.

Also, people visiting the site, may find outdated pages, thinking the project is dead or not so alive.

Please, consider to use a translation friendly wiki like anwiki (www.anwiki.com) used for build Ulteo's site (www.ulteo.com).

Alternatively, you can consider to find a way to comunicate to guests and translators if a page is outdated or not and put a link to the right english page.

Thank you and excuse my poor english: I can assure you I speak a more correct italian ;)
--[[User:panta|panta]] 11:17, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

I have added language Hindi in the template, but its not getting reflected here.
--[[User:Kunaldeo|Kunaldeo]] 08:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

It takes a while for template changes to propagate, [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Job_queue the mediawiki engine is not completely synchronous]. [[User:MinhHaDuong|MinhHaDuong]] 10:46, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

== Love the new design! ==

Looks great!

== Link to Jokes ==

I think the link to [[Jokes]] does not fit the box "New to Openmoko?". People who are new to this project won't get most of these jokes. May I delete this link? --[[User:Marko Knöbl|Marko Knöbl]] 11:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

I deem the link frontpage worthy because humor a good way to go deeply to the heart of things that can hardly be said otherwise (but not sidebar worthy of course it is not an essential navigation page). I added the link in that box because it belongs somewhere visible and I had no idea as to where else to put it, so any alternative placement suggestion should be considered. And it is true that even I don't get all the jokes, but newbies should get about half of them if they have the geek hacker subculture. What do you other guys think ? [[User:MinhHaDuong|MinhHaDuong]] 14:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

:Thanks for your explanation! If we really want this on the main page I'd rather put it into the "for Users" box under "Openmoko community". Would that be okay? --[[User:Marko Knöbl|Marko Knöbl]] 13:02, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

::I've just moved it. I hope it's okay.--[[User:Marko Knöbl|Marko Knöbl]] 09:53, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

== Boasting freedom ==

I think it would be a good idea to provide a link near the top where people can learn more about the 'freedom' that's boasted about. Many site visitors (including GNU/Linux users) will not be aware of the benefits and importance of what we mean by "freedom" for software users.

Descripts of "rebuild the house" and linking "open source" to a page about getting source code are ways to get programmers interested, but I think it would be very unlikely for a non-hacker visitor to openmoko.org to discover how giving source code to hackers helps them, and why software freedom affects their lives.

The no-work way to fix this would be to make the big word "free", or an eary mention of "freedom", a link to an existing explanation such as gnu.org's[http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html] or FSFE's.[http://fsfeurope.org/documents/freesoftware]

When someone has time, this could be replaced with a page on openmoko.org with a more specific explanation of how why freedom is essential for mobile phones and mobile computing, and what benefits this leads to. [[User:Ciaran|Ciaran]] 23:22, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Community Updates/2008-10-03

2008-10-05T17:37:49Z

Pudelfish: link corrected

= Distributions =
* The big event was the release of [[Om2008.9 Update]] on September 19th. Or was it a big non-event, because those who updated daily were already ahead when it was released ? Some users were surprised that the ''stable'' feeds do not update almost everything everyday anymore, but this is what ''stable'' is supposed to mean. You don't get the nice fixes in the latest kernel, but you don't get the nasty new bugs either.
* Another big point release: Qtopia 4.4. It's now called Qt Extended.
* FSO repositories moved to http://downloads.freesmartphone.org. Thanks Beartech for the interim hosting.
* A startup announced [http://www.neopwn.com/index.php NeoPwn], a distribution geared towards ''penetration testing''. I am not sure if they are shipping yet. Their hat color is unclear to me, their slogan is ''Own it.. before it owns you.''
* [[FDOM]] is really gearing up. They now have a mailing list, a code repository, and a mission.

= Applications =
* [[Sephora]], settings manager in PyGtk for XFCE started.
* Also, openmoko-panel-plugin, a gtk based plugin that draws the powerstate of some FR hardware devices(i.e. gsm, gps) to a gtk based panel. Theses panels are used i.e. in xfce4. so you can enable or disable the state of your gps receiver.
* Brian Code from Koolu documented how he made [[Linphone]], that is voice over IP, work fine for him.
* A screen [[Rotate]] daemon was developed successfully.

= Hardware =
* [[Battery#DIY external battery pack from a Minty case]], or how to run the Neo from batteries (NB: a pair of AA cells will not provide as much as 1 amp of current.)
* Thanks to Claus and Lothar, [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-September/031444.html the CAD files] are now available in other formats (BRLCAD, IGES, STEP)
* Michael negociated with a custom-case making company, they could build something more rugged/waterproof if the demand was high enough.

= Wiki and community =
* The Documentation Team recategorized everything using a two-levels scheme. Browsing should be is easier now, [[:Category:Categories| try it]]! Of course we now need to clean up the pages inside each subcategory, but at least the big POS is not many small pos. Divide-and-conquer.
* We also organized the list of applications. Now there is a [[Applications|master directory]], then detailed lists by topic, and then application pages.
* Coming soon: "Use google search", "Add page in this category", "Site directory" extensions.
* Some nice artwork flew by on the community list. Raster is still with us. Following some advertisement, the [[Desktop wallpaper gallery]] grew from 1 to 4 images. Keep them coming !
* We are having a very hearts-to-hearts moment on the community list in Risto's initiated thread [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-October/032465.html The Lost Openmoko community]. See also the [http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-tt1102493 Weeky Engineering News 38] for Om's plans to involve the community more in the release process.
* Good things are the pipeline for the Community Repository: name change, submit by web interface (tickets [http://admin-trac.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1518 1518], [http://admin-trac.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1543 1543])

= From the stars =
* There were many kernel patches about SD cards and bus speed. Confusion about which kernel version goes into which branch led to some module mismatch issues.
* There are still interesting discussions on the kernel mailing list on the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2008-September/005073.html state of the wlan driver]. For the rest of us, it means that the Wifi driver is still being actively developed. In plain English: likely to be full of bugs.
* The alsa sound configuration still puzzle most users. I think that as long as alsa-mixer is based on a linear list of cryptic acronyms, we are in the dark. Could we have instead a clickable image map showing the [[Neo 1973 audio subsystem#ALSA Channels| sound chip circuits]] ?
* Developers should be aware that the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2008-September/002030.html Meta-toolchain] was refreshed.
* The kernel guys have banged their heads together about how to send all their changes upstream. Conclusion: good luck, that is a tough job.

= Outside Openmoko =
* The leading websearch company released their mobile OS called Android, nothing was said about an Openmoko port.
* [http://openpandora.org/ Pandora] pre-sells thousands of their handheld linux gaming console. Sorry if you missed it, the next batch will be for 2009.

[[Image:200px-FIC-neo1973_small_neu.jpg|200px|right|frontside]]
OpenMoko™ is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source Open Source] project to create the world's first free mobile phone operating system which runs a full X server and can therefore run most X applications.

The [[OpenMoko]] project is a community that anyone can join, to help design their ideal phone.

You can install any [[OpenMoko]] software over the whole range of [[OpenMoko-supported hardware|supported phones]], and if you upgrade your phone, you don't lose that software. Bugs fixed on any phone are fixed on all.

The [[Neo1973]] from [[FIC]] is the first of many phones that OpenMoko may be used on and has now sold out (Feb 11 2008) as can be seen here - [https://direct.openmoko.com/ Openmoko Online Shop]. The [[Neo FreeRunner]] is not yet available - see further down this page for info on the development status and further information. You can add your nickname to those interested buying the Neo FreeRunner [[Buying_Interest_List|here]]

Please join us in collaborating on the OpenMoko project through any of the [[Development resources | project resources]] including this OpenMoko wiki. Please see the [[Help:Contents | wiki editing help]] page for information on making contributions to this wiki. A [[Meet the Core Team | core team]] of developers funded by FIC, Inc. leads the project.

An [[introduction]] page is available, with [[Introduction#Photos|photos]] and [[Introduction#Videos|videos]]. Moreover, the usual [[FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions]] (FAQ) page might be helpful. Developers may find the [[ChangeLog | change log]] an important resource.

{{warning|'''The OpenMoko GUI applications are not suitable for end users yet.''' They are still in beta. Do not expect to always and reliably make and receive calls from the OpenMoko GUI. Thanks to the openness of the FIC Neo1973 hardware, there is also an alternative to the OpenMoko GUI: Qtopia 4.3.x is released under GPL and is at the edge of being usable for phone use.}}

'''OpenMoko Open Source Engineering and Schedule Policy'''
As an extension of the Open Source attitude towards source code, OpenMoko attempts to be open about as much of the engineering process as possible. Obviously this is not always possible, and because this is a fairly new notion, we are still learning how to do this properly. Our current policy is to attempt to tell you as much as possible about what we are doing, but never to attempt any schedule prediction. This is not due to secrecy, but rather is due to the large number of dependencies that are out of our control. For the latest status updates, see [[Community_Updates|Community Updates]]

'''FUTURE MODELS DEVELOPMENT STATUS'''
[[Neo FreeRunner]] is still under development, and we are still testing the hardware. Since this is happening at the kernel and driver level, progress can be monitored on the openmoko-kernel mailing list, which is public. Once we complete this we will build a few more for further testing within the company. If this testing is successful, then we will start manufacturing units for sale. For the latest status updates, see [[Community_Updates|Community Updates]]

Status on the U-Boot and Kernel side can be found at [[Kernel-dev-status|Kernel-dev-status]].

Pudelfish: removed spam

= 17th of September 2007 =

== Security ==
[[User:mikl-dk|mikl-dk]]: Triggered by the question whether every execution of an application is done by the root-user, I started to wondering about the security in OpenMoko in general. Actually I found very little - near to nothing - and I personally think that's inappropriate for this project. We simply have to focus very much on security so that isn't going to be a pitfall. So please, let's focus on this! If desired, I'll be glad to join such a ''task-force''.

== Additional Applications Portal ==
[[User:mikl-dk|mikl-dk]]: Since OpenMoko is open and is (going to be very, very, very) popular, a positive problem with lots of third part application is going to arise: the quality can vary a lot. I know there is a projects-section of this portal, but that's targeted to the developers and not the end-users. Maybe it would be a idea to create a repository of recommended applications by the OpenMoko-team.

= Archive =

== Navigating a Wiki ==
[[User:Tony guan|Tony guan]] 01:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC):
''Q: Dear all, who knows how to surf this wiki website without repeatly clicking the 'HomePage' and then going down to the page I want? Is there anything like 'Upper Layer'

== Wiki Frontpage Facelift ==
Not sure who refactored the wiki's front page, but it looks awesome! Great job! == Anonymous

Yeah, much better, I like too. [[User:Micktaiwan|micktaiwan]] 22:03, 26 September 2007 (CEST)

== Question about programming ==
If I wanted to learn how to write applications for the Neo1973, and have a couple years of C++ classes under my belt, where do I start? I'm not talking about creating a whole e-mail application or anything, but I know nothing about the software and how it operates. Thanks!

== Question about Java programming ==
[[User:CathodioN|Geert Schuring]]: How can i help? Im a java programmer and would really like to get involved!

== Developer available ==

[[User:Huan|Huan]]: I'm a flight student with a CS degree and I don't have time to create and implement my own project. I am interested in developing and implementing encryption algorithms and other features to make openmoko users harder to track. If anyone has a project they need help on I can code, comment, and Debug. I also am familiar with UML specifically OOP in Java, C,++,#, Perl, I can even dive into the assembly. I use Eclipse as my primary development platform. If anyone could use a part time contributer to their project I would be honored to be a part.

== hardware changes ==

is there any word on if the hardware will change from the dev version currently being offered, and the retail version in october?

== Kalra asked on the main page : ==

i am an IT student from India , i have an experience of working on C,C++,Java now i want to join an open source project , can anybody please help , currently i am working on an image compression project. [[User:Kalra]]

== Mediawiki Skin ==

I run a mediawiki site also, and am wondering if anyone knows of the skin on this site being available for use? I appreciate any ideas on this. Thanks.--[[http://www.usome.com]] 22:29, 7 September 2007 (CEST)

== Other supported hardware (Sony Ericsson) ==

Hello,

I have an old sony ericsson P800 that I would be willing to try OpenMoko on. How do I get started? I am a C++ programmer so technical stuff does not bother me. What do I read, where do look? Can I even think of using other hardware?

Thanks

Host OS Tips

Pudelfish: typo

With a variety of linux distributions come a myriad of differences. Below are some quirks you may find when building, flashing or talking to your Neo1973

== OpenSuSE 10.2 ==

=== u-boot ===

When booting the Neo1973 in u-boot mode '''/dev/ttyACM0''' may not appear automatically. You may have to:

# modprobe cdc_acm

before hand. Conversely cdc_ether seems to work automatically without any issues.

Kernel

2007-10-19T07:21:09Z

Pudelfish: typo

== General ==

The Kernel on the GTA01 is based on a vanilla 2.6.21.3 Linux kernel from [http://www.kernel.org/ kernel.org].

Some additional patches are required for
* S3C2410 Usb Device Controller
** We use the driver from iPaq H1940 linux project
* S3C2410 SD Card Controller
** We use the driver from the [http://www.tomtom.com/gpl.php TomTom GO kernel]
* [[QT2410]] machine support
** This is just some glue that puts all pieces together
* S3C2410 touch screen driver
** Again from iPaq H1940 linux project
* GTA01 machine support
** Some glue/configuration to pull all pieces together
* [[GSM Communication Infrastructure]]
** The kernel-level part (TS07.10 line discipline, GPRS line discipline)

== Kernel Patchset ==

The latest patchset against the abovementioned vanilla kernel can be found at https://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/target/kernel/patches/. This is a so-called "[http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt quilt] patchset". In order to apply it, you have to download it into a "patches" directory below the "linux-2.6.x" directory, and then call "quilt push -a", which pushes all patches onto the kernel.

For example, after unpacking the 2.6.21.1 kernel tarball, you might type the following commands:
cd linux-2.6.21.1
svn co https://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/target/kernel/patches
quilt push -a
to apply the latest patchset to that kernel. Note that 2.6.21.1 may not be the correct kernel to build against - see previous section to determine just which kernel version to download and patch.

== Kernel Configuration ==

The latest kernel configuration file can be found at https://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/oe/packages/linux/linux-gta01/. Just copy the config file corresponding to the correct kernel version to the linux-2.6.x/.config file.

== Kernel building ==

The kernel build is executed as normal. We actually only need the "vmlinux" target, not the "zImage".

== Prebuilt kernel images ==

Prebuilt bootable kernel images called ''uImage*'' are available from:
* http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.1/tmp/deploy/images/
* http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.2/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/fic-gta01/

For full operation on the currently supported platforms you need some modules inside the rootfs. You can either get a ''modules*'' archive from the above mentioned location (with the same version number) which contains many more modules then you might need.

Alternatively you can check the following location
for prepackaged modules for the kernel version and install them using ipkg:
* http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.1/tmp/deploy/ipk/fic-gta01/
* http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.2/tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/fic-gta01/
=== Modules for the Neo1973 GTA01 ===

On the Neo1973 the following modules should be added to support most of the hardware:
* snd-soc-neo1973-wm8753 snd-soc-s3c24xx-i2s snd-soc-s3c24xx snd-soc-wm8753
* ohci-hcd
* bluetooth hci-usb
* fat vfat msdos nsl-base nls_iso8859_1 nls_cp437

These really should be in the unmodified root image to start with. See bug 580.

You'll probably have to put these in a file in /etc/modutils/ and run update-modules to get them to work automatically.

* hci_usb
* s3cmci
* snd-soc-neo1973-wm8753

== Creating a bootable kernel image ==
u-boot needs all images (such as kernel, initrd, ...) in the form of an uImage. This is basically just a special header adding CRC protection, version information, etc. Please see [[u-boot]] for details.

== Kernel Boot Parameters ==

Since the [[QT2410]] can be used with different liquid crystal modules (LCMs), the kernel images for the QT2410 have a boot parameter "tft":
* If you boot without any tft= parameter, the 'stock' qt2410 240x320 TFT panel is assumed.
* If you boot with "tft=b" ('b' for big), the timings for the SHARP 8" 640x480 TFT panel are used.
* If you boot with "tft=p" ('p' for production), the timings for the 2.8" 480x640 TFT panel are used.

== Kernel Subsystems ==

In this section we will outline a couple of the GTA01 specific kernel drivers / features / subsystems

=== GSM ===

==== Power Management ====

The '''gta01_pm_gsm''' driver implements GSM power management (this means, if this is compiled as a module, you have to load the gta01_pm_gsm.ko module first)

It exports the following sysfs based interface
<pre>
root@fic-gta01:/$ ls -l /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gsm.0/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 09:58 download
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 09:58 power_on
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 09:58 reset
</pre>

===== Powering up/down =====
<pre>
root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gsm.0/power_on
gta01-pm-gsm gta01-pm-gsm.0: powering up GSM, thus disconnecting serial console

root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "0" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gsm.0/power_on
gta01-pm-gsm gta01-pm-gsm.0: powered down GSM, thus enabling serial console
</pre>

Note that powering up GSM disables the console.

===== Resetting =====
<pre>
root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gsm.0/reset
root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "0" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gsm.0/reset
</pre>

===== Activating GSM baseband download mode =====
<pre>
root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gsm.0/download
</pre>

===== De-activating GSM baseband download mode =====
<pre>
root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "0" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gsm.0/download
</pre>

=== GPS ===

==== Power Management ====

The gta01_pm_gps kernel driver offers a sysfs based interface:
<pre>
root@fic-gta01:~$ ls -l /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gps.0/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 09:14 power_avdd_3v
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 09:14 power_lp_io_3v3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 09:14 power_pll_core_2v5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 1 09:14 power_sequence
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 09:14 power_vtxco_2v8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 09:14 pwron
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 09:14 reset
</pre>

The power_avdd_3v, power_lp_io_3v3, power_pll_core_2v5, power_vtxco_2v8, pwron and reset files represent the state of the respective signal.

The power_sequence file implements power-up/power-down sequence in accordance with the GlobalLocate data sheet.

===== Powering up =====
root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "power_up" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gps.0/power_sequence
===== Powering down =====
root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "power_down" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-gps.0/power_sequence

=== Asound driver ===

==== High-level requirements ====

The GTA01 audio subsystem is fairly complex, even though the high-level requirements for the sound driver are simple.
The features we need to support

* voice call support
** passing through the microphone signal to the GSM Modem
** passing through the GSM Modem audio output to the integrated speaker(s)
** the microphone input mixer gain will be statically configured according to the dynamic requirements
** the audio volume that is sent to the GSM modem can be adjusted via line out level
** the audio volume incoming (from GSM modem -> codec) can be adjusted via speaker out level
* voice call recording support
** the user is able to record phone conversations on digital storage inside the phone. Format will be ogg (not important to driver)
** ideally, the user can choose between recording only incoming or outgoing signal, or both.
** for both, we'd need to mix both microphone and line-in signals before recording. is this possible?
* voice call playback support
** the user is able to playback recorded files during a conversation. this means that PCM playback needs to be mixed with mic input before being passed to line-out (and to the GSM modem)
* media playback support
** an audio player can play back mp3/ogg/flac/... files and output sound via integrated speakers or headphone
* headphone jack switch
** this is connected to a GPIO of the S3C2410. How to best integrate this with the sound driver? It should just be handled like any other headphone jack reporting of e.g. laptop computers.

For more details see [[Neo1973 Audio Subsystem]]

=== Bluetooth ===

We're using the stock bluez implementation of the linux kernel.

==== Power Management ====

The bluetooth basically has the following preconditions
* BT_EN being set
* The Voltage regulator set up properly
* The ohci-hcd driver being loaded

The gta01_pm_bt driver implements the following files:
<pre>
root@fic-gta01:/$ ls -l /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-bt.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 09:52 power_on
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Feb 1 09:52 reset
</pre>

===== Powering up the device =====

<pre>
root@fic-gta01:/$ echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-bt.0/power_on
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using s3c2410-ohci and address 4
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
</pre>

===== Powering down the device =====
<pre>
root@fic-gta01:/$ echo "0" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-bt.0/power_on
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 3
</pre>

===== Asserting reset (low-active) =====
<pre>
root@fic-gta01:/$ echo "0" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-bt.0/reset
root@fic-gta01:/$ usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2
</pre>

===== De-asserting reset (low-active) =====
<pre>
root@fic-gta01:/$ echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/gta01-pm-bt.0/reset
s3c2410-ohci s3c2410-ohci: wakeup
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using s3c2410-ohci and address 3
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
</pre>

=== AUX Button ===

The AUX button (formerly 911 button) is supported via the "gta01kbd" driver in the kernel (drivers/input/keyboard/gta01kbd.c).

It creates an input event device that only issues "KEY_PHONE" press/unpress events.

=== Power Management Unit (PMU) ===

The PMU is supported via the "pcf50606" driver in the kernel (drivers/i2c/chips/pcf50606.c).

This driver provides a number of userspace interfaces for the various bits and pieces of the PMU

==== Power Button, Charger insertion ====

The PMU creates an input device that supports the following keys:
* KEY_POWER: power button of GTA01
* KEY_POWER2: USB power supply insert/remove
* KEY_BATTERY: Charger insert/remove

==== RTC ====

The real-time clock, including the alarm feature, is implemented as standard RTC (/dev/rtc).

==== Watchdog ====

The PMU-integrated watchdog is implemented using the standard watchdog character device.

==== Voltage Regulators ====

The voltage regulators are exported to userspace using sysfs, much like lm_sensors.

Every regulator can be read (and written!). The format is ASCII in millivolts.

<pre>
root@fic-gta01:/sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-i2c/i2c-0/0-0008$ ls -l /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0008/voltage_*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Sep 3 11:55 /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0008/voltage_d1reg

root@fic-gta01:/sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-i2c/i2c-0/0-0008$ cat voltage_dcd
1300
</pre>

==== Battery Voltage ====

The battery voltage (in millivolts) can be read via sysfs

<pre>
root@fic-gta01:~$ cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0008/battvolt
3767
</pre>

==== Battery charging current ====

The battery charging current (in milliamperes) can be read via sysfs

<pre>
root@fic-gta01:~$ cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0008/chgcur
0
</pre>

==== Battery temperature ====

The battery temperature (in centigrades) can be read via sysfs

<pre>
root@fic-gta01:~$ cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0008/battemp
25
</pre>

=== Backlight ===

We provide a driver that supports the linux kernel standard backlight API. You can find the respective sysfs files in /sys/class/backlight/

=== Vibrator ===

The vibrator driver is implemented as a LED driver. You can find the respective sysfs files in /sys/class/leds/.
The vibrator classdev name is '''gta01:vibrator'''.

Please note, depending on the kernel version, the driver only supports on/off or PWM of the vibrator device. If you want to run the vibrator at full power, use
<pre>
root@fic-gta01:~$ echo "255" > /sys/class/leds/gta01\:vibrator/brightness
</pre>

== Kernel TODO ==

=== Various ===
* speed up in-kernel boot process
** delay calibration
** framebuffer takes ages

=== TS07.10 multiplex ===

=== PCF50606 ===
* check conversion table for temperature
* implement 'persistent alarm setting' (see mail from mickey)

=== USB device driver ===
* test switching between usb host and usb device

== Mailing list ==

OpenMoko related kernel development discussions happen on the [http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/openmoko-kernel openmoko-kernel@lists.openmoko.org] mailing list.

Nand erase

2007-09-27T09:51:32Z

Pudelfish:

To make a NAND erase, you need to connect to your device while in uboot using minicom or cu. The device will usually be called /dev/ttyACM0. You might need to

sudo chown uucp.uucp /dev/ttyACM0

to get the necessary right (even as root). Using cu, you can then access the Neo:

cu -l /dev/ttyACM0

After connecting, you should get a prompt, where you can write:

nand erase clean rootfs
nand erase clean kernel

To exit cu you need to type:

~.

Wish List - Hardware

2007-02-27T10:02:48Z

Pudelfish:

===Hardware enhancements===

Some small hardware enhancement could be cheap, but very useful. Please add your ideas/wishes here:
 
=====Video-capable camera=====
*preferably in rotatable turret set into top of unit, so it can face in either direction, making it useful for video conferencing. For a phone to stand a chance in the modern market it will need a camera else it is likely that it won't be bought.

*And don't scrimp on still picture quality - a separate model w/ a stand-out quality camera might be very attractive for those of us who would like to combine a camera with a phone for travel. (fast boot-up, cycle times, > 2 MP resolution, good dynamic range, adjustable exposure times). Instead of a turret, how about an accessory stand so you can just flip the phone around and put it down in front of you instead of holding it. (Would need speaker phone capability too for that videoconferencing).

=====Integrated WiFi hardware=====
*To sync data
*To access Internet when WiFi is available (at home, work, school, friends)
*For VoIP (this uses much power but maybe the user have the charger connected)
**I'm willing to port [http://yate.null.ro/ Yate] to it if the Internet connectivity issue is solved --[[User:Csdexter|@Dexter]] 13:58, 16 February 2007 (CET)
*for videoconferencing (as with AccessGrid)
*Even 802.11b 11Mbps -only would do -- the point is being able to connect it to the Internet without incurring the (sometimes huge) costs of GPRS or (even worse) HSCSD.
*To save power have WiFi able to wake up and check for a designated SSID then sleep again if not found (i.e. I'm not home) or wake up by GPS location (only come up at home and in the office)
*Variable TX power, to the minimum needed to connect to the AP.
*Some sort of caching (encrypted?) internet proxy that can store and forward packets. Instead of having the radio constantly on, it turns the radio on every 30s, for just long enough to register with the AP, and ask the proxy if it has new packets for it.
** An optimisation might be if the hardware, and the AP can do broadcast packets. The receiver is only turned on for .5s/30s, to recieve a broadcast packet saying 'you've got packets' without registering with the AP, or transmitting at all. The GPS synchronises the timing.
**This slows the initial connection to the phone, but most tcp/ip applications will not time out in 30s.

=====LED=====
*A blinking LED would be cheap and low power, good for informing the user about new SMS/Email....
**An alternative to this would be for one segment of the LCD to be seperately backlit. There are many LEDs in the backlight, all normally on. This has the advantage that you can display reasonable amounts of information on the bit of the screen that's illuminated.
**The disadvantage is the field of view is smaller, and it's dimmer than a bare LCD, as the LCD absorbs some light.
**This also requires the CPU and LCD to be somewhat active, to keep it refreshed.

*Note: the LED and button ideas could be combined: illuminated buttons
*A yellow LED for GSM/GPRS Tx burst, a blue one for Bluetooth/WiFi Tx burst, a green one for non-urgent notifications (sleep state, missed call etc.) and a red one for urgent notifications (battery almost drained out, new SMS etc.). All of this could be done in one, multicoloured (RGB) LED, similar to the nice one on the Yaesu VX-7R.

=====D-Pad and Buttons=====
*Adding a D-pad (to the bottom of the phone) and 2 to 4 buttons (to the top) would provide some tactile input controls, in addition to the touchscreen. They could be used as shortcut keys in the menu, or playback control when playing media. When the phone is held sideways, they can be used as games controls. (With touchscreen alone, gameplay options are limited)

Game buttons would be extremely great especially on both sides of the screen. The larger the buttons, the better. 2x 4 buttons in up-down-left-right configuration + some extra buttons separately a bit lower on the device would be extremely great for emulation games.

=====Accelerometer=====
This enables the phone to sense where 'down' is - to enable various options.

*[[Wishlist:3D Viewport|3D Viewport]]
*[[Wishlist:Auto Align Map|Auto Align Map]]
*[[Wishlist:Computer Mouse|Computer Mouse]]
*[[Wishlist:Determine Position|Determine Position]]
*[[Wishlist:Distance Measuring|Distance Measuring]]
Change playlists when I'm jogging vs walking. (there ia an mp3 player on the market that does this).
*Can't the GPS information be used for that purpose? It should be possible to derive the phone's velocity from the change in coordinates over time, so such a playlist profile switcher should be a possibility even now already. [[User:Abraxa|Abraxa]] 00:09, 18 February 2007 (CET)
**Yeah in my opinion that is a very cool idea. But for that case the device should be much lighter. I wouldn't go jogging with a device with this size.--[[User:Denis std|denis_std]] 01:01, 18 February 2007 (CET)

*Shake mitigation when using the camera (wish list item #1). How many of us end up with blurry pictures because we can't hold the phone steady?
**An accellerometer is not a gyroscope. You can't tell orientation generally from accelleration, only which way 'down' is, which does not help for side-side motion, as the phone can spin around the direction of gravity without any acceleration. Up and down tilting is slightly easier, but it's very hard to determine between shaking of the phone in an up and down axis, and tilting the phone in an up and down axis.
***There are a number of three-axis accelerometer chips on the market. These will be capable of determining most movements. I.e. accelerations in all directions and rotation (change in direction of gravity). Some related research has already been carried out (when three-axis accelerometers were not commonly available, instead using 2 two-axis devices) which shows these kind of movements can be tracked [http://eis.comp.lancs.ac.uk/fileadmin/eis/publication/2004-Towards-Playful-UI.pdf]. [[User:Mwelchuk|Mwelchuk]] 11:02, 26 February 2007 (CET)
*** 3 axis accellerometer does _not_ give orientation information. It gives direction in which the current accelleration is. There are 3 variables to orientation - roll, pitch, yaw, and only two independant outputs from the accellerometer (tilt in two axes at 90 degrees). To get these, you have to assume no accelleration, which is not the case in a shaking hand.
*** but 2 2 axis-accellerometer, one on either side of the device, do give this information, or at least enough to use the device as a steering wheel. If you place them like this and tilt the device the 2 accelerometers will give opposite readings, if you move the device (translation) they will give the same readings. Simple, no ?

*** The tilt information you get cannot be seperated from shaking the phone.
*** Yes it can, just dampen with a filter
*** Consider you are sitting down in a chair. You know which way down is. You cannot, without further information tell if you are spinning round. Down does not move. --[[User:Speedevil|Speedevil]] 14:10, 26 February 2007 (CET)

=====SIR transceiver (Serial Infrared)=====
*An infrared tranceiver is cheap, small, and useful for sync with a lot of laptops and mobile phones.
*Could be used to detect when to turn off the display (if the low power IR signal is reflected) and activate the key lock. And could be used as a remote. iPhone has a proximity sensor.
*FIR would be nice as well, but I would settle for SIR if it would be added. Linux already has a working IrDA stack so the standard part would be satisfied. I would be more than glad to write lirc thingies for OpenMoko then :)
*Also, a universal infrared remote feature would be a killer app.

=====Standard 3.5mm jack=====
*I think everyone interested (and knowledgeable) enough to buy a Neo can make a 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female adaptor cable in under 1/2h and under 10EUR :-)

Certainly - now make it light, small, pretty, durable, tangle-free.
I want a 3.5mm jack. The only problem is - are headsets widely available in the same format as 2.5mm. --[[User:Speedevil|Speedevil]] 14:28, 16 February 2007 (CET)

=====Multitouch screen=====

=====Multi I/O adapter=====
*VGA, standard Jack (line in & out), standard USB

=====MMC/SD/SDIO slot (rather than?) miniSD or microSD=====
*Cheaper, more durable cards in a widely accepted format.
*Cards are harder to lose
*Wider selection of accesories, including SDIO accessories.
*Make externally available so that larger length SDIO cards can be used (thinking about SDIO WLAN here)
*Only because CF takes too much room (or CF would be the wish, instead)

=====[[Expansion Back]]=====
* Replacement backs with additional features
* I believe this would be a great idea, if put into practice. It would solve the ''extensibility'' need, usually associated with Open Source projects. It would allow for lots of other devices and for functionality to be developed and put into use without making it a burden for FIC.
** With extra card slots and small footprint hard drive (if possible), Neo might become a nice ''image tank'' for photographers - --[[User:Cedel|cedel]] 18:34, 19 February 2007 (CET)

=====Thumb keyboard or keyboard attachment accessory=====
*Could be slide out or clamshell (hinge on long side) design with an external OLED. The keyboard should be protected when not in use.
*Could be a clip on keyboard that attaches to the serial port or communicates by bluetooth (not preferred for permanent keyboard users).
*cheap clippable miniusb keyboard

=====LASER keyboard (can be a full QWERTY keyboard)=====
*On the hardware side, this would require a $5 laser diode, a $3 (in bulk) custom diffraction grating, and probably a couple of cubic centimetres volume inside the phone.
*This requires a camera pointable to the front.
*It requires an integrated stand for the phone.
*To practically use this, you've got to be 40cm or so away from the phone, which means under 25*20 of text resolution.
*In software, it's relatively easy to parse the camera output, to find changes in the known laser field.

There are major problems.
*Patent issues.
*No tactile response at all, which slows typing.
*An extra 2cc/6g.

=====EDGE support=====

EDGE support would allow better transfer rates than non-EDGE 2G, which is limited around 5 kB/s, thus enabling a real internet connectivity for the use of (mostly geographical-based) web services.

=====Ability to insert more than one Sim-Card and (if possible) connect to more than one network at the same time=====

* This could be achieved via a specialist dual sim card kit (currently on market)- where two sims are trimmed and combined on one card, software support for dual sims would need providing...
* What about twin-SIMs (SIMs with 2 phone lines registered on them)? Conventional GSM phones have an option to switch between the two, older ones use # (long press before dialling) to do that. I'm guessing Calypso should support it, we just need to provide an interface for it :-) --[[User:Csdexter|@Dexter]] 11:34, 19 February 2007 (CET)

=====RFID tag=====
* Implementation/Cooperation with: [http://www.rfidguardian.org/ RFID-Guardian]
*Advantages of a RFID tag? I would see a lot privacy problems
**The tag could be switched on or off. A nice feature would be a module able to clone tags. This would unfortunately probably be rather expensive.
**What about an RFID Reader which could be used to locate items with RFID tags (IE: in your house) [[User:Alexpb|Alexpb]]
***That would be a nice feature--[[User:Denis std|denis_std]] 08:33, 17 February 2007 (CET)
***Most tags can only be located within 10cm or so. Essentially no cheap tags can be located over several metres.--[[User:Speedevil|Speedevil]] 13:17, 18 February 2007 (CET)

===== USB 2.0 =====
* Powered
* Host Mode / Device Mode
* OTG (is this maybe supported already ?)
* bootable usb device emulation: the possibility to boot any computer on a bootable flagged partition of the transflash

=====UMTS support=====

=====Dump the '''''egg-shaped''''' case design and go '''''rectangular''''' for more screen space=====
*I'm all for devices that look great and have great features - aside from that I really like the current design. Thus I'd like to comment that the design change request is probably not the majority's opinion. [[User:Abraxa|Abraxa]] 00:00, 18 February 2007 (CET)

=====A standard slip-on or clip-on template (possibly with buttons) to make the touch-screen blind accessible=====

=====Speakerphone functionality=====

=====Reposition Speakers=====
* putting the two speakers on opposite sides of the screen would make the stereo sound much more effective

The screen is 2.8" across.
That's not especially effective.
Also, the speaker noise does come out the side - look at the grills in the pictures. --[[User:Speedevil|Speedevil]] 06:19, 16 February 2007 (CET)

=====Small metal frame for protection (like Siemens M65, only with more style)=====

=====Free GPIO ports on a connector to allow easy, simple hardware extensions=====

=====Video acceleration=====
Hardware acceleration for video playback.

=====3D acceleration=====
3D hardware acceleration for 3D games, GUIs, etc. (maybe a PowerVR MBX Lite ?).

=====Alcohol Sensor=====
Alcohol sensor adjacent to microphone. It doesn't have to be accurate, just has to detect any amount of alcohol on the speaker's breath. I understand this is a very narrow market, but alcohol is on every parent's mind.

I think those who drive cars might profit from this feature too. --[[User:Cedel|cedel]] 16:02, 20 February 2007 (CET)

=====Disinfection UV-Light=====
I had read about it in an Article on http://www.americanairandwater.com/UV-news/. But Motorola patents it.
Yes - finally a way to stop the billions of annual deaths due to cellphone infections! --[[User:Speedevil|Speedevil]] 14:04, 16 February 2007 (CET)
It´s just something that flying in my head... It´s not the first "unreal" or "useless" idea. Just for fun! --[[User:MookiE|MookiE]] 14:51, 16 February 2007 (CET)

More seriously - UV of the required frequency is inherently eye-damaging.
Also, as I understand it, there are actually no UV LEDs that will reliably produce 'germicidal' UV.
The most expensive - and they are very expensive - ones produce UV of a sort that may kill very susceptible bacteria, but comparatively few.
IIRC the LEDs are $20 per.
--[[User:Speedevil|Speedevil]] 15:11, 16 February 2007 (CET)

=====Teleportation=====
Implementing a beaming-device to the Neo would make it the first phone enabling teleportation.
See: [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3811785.stm]
Possible implementation difficulties might be the lacking teleportation-support in the GSM standard as well as uncooperative mobile service providers that feel uneasy towards innovative technologies...

=====EPD=====

Or electronic paper display, EPD is used in many new devices such as the new Motorola motofone, sonys new e-reader and Irex's iliad. The technology provides thin, flexible, power saving screens using new eink technology. This technology could cut the weight of the phone and its power usage. For more info see: [http://www.eink.com eink's website].

=====FM/Digital Radio(DAB) Reciever=====

A nice feature would be a radio reciever: FM or even better: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Audio_Broadcasting Digital Audio Broadcast] (Digital Radio)

=====V12 Embedded power source=====

We'll need something beefy to power the next Neos for the above gadgets, I propose the use of a [http://www.ultimatestupidity.com/pics/1/diesel/ Embeddable Power Source], that with some miniturisation and a bit of design work should be workable as a possible solution.

=====Thermometer=====

An electronic thermometer might become handy for some users.

There are very small [[I2C]] devices available, that could easily integrate to the existing bus. For example [http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tmp100.html this one from ti].

=====I2C breakout=====

[[I2C]] is an internal bus in the phone. This is a simple bus, with only 2-3 wires, hence ideal for making accessible to those making add-ons, as it is low powered, and can be daisy-chained. It would be a great candidate to bring out into the [[Expansion Back]].

Readily available [[I2C]] chips range from temperature sensing, digital input/ouput chips, to 1-wire bridge chips (which is designed for external switches, ID, sensing, ...)

=====Finger print sensor=====

Fingerprint sensor gives easy and fast access to the phone, could lock the touchscreen etc. An example of this device can be found at [http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_BrowseCatalog-Start?CategoryName=cpu_VAIONotebookComputers_UX_Series&Dept=computers Sony UX17].

=====PCMCIA slot=====

*1. can be used for a spare battery (is this possible?)
*3. i can use my [http://www.echoaudio.com/Products/CardBus/IndigoIO/index.php Echo Audio Indigo I/O]
*2. can be used for different cards around
