VdeGrandpré:

You updated the wiki's main page with a rendition of a GTA02 - I'm curious as of the source of said image. Can you give details about that? Several people (me included) are wondering about the entirely black case and whether that'll be the one seen on the mass market release.
Best wishes

Hi, concerning ePDFView, I am not able to ''om-make-ipkg'' ePdfView because of undeclared libpoppler functions.
I added them to the ePDFView Makefile, tough, and it's still not working. I got the librairies for ARM acrhitecture from a debian repository and I manually unpacked them and moved them to the include/ and lib/ folders of build/.../lib and build/.../include in the /usr/local/openmoko/ directory. I may have done something wrong. I want to 'make' the librairies in order to put them all in the include/lib directories. The only .so file in the debian packed archive is libpoppler.so and I do think I need to have more than this. I think I have skipped a librairy configuration step that is needed prior to move them in the build/... tree.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks

Automatic emulation in Ubuntu

2008-05-12T21:36:40Z

VdeGrandpré: /* IPK Installation on QEmu */

[[Image:Qemu-ubuntu1.png|thumb|emulation of [[Openmoko]] running on Ubuntu]]

This is a tutorial for getting an emulation environment on an Ubuntu system. For other systems see the [[Installation guide]]

== Installation ==

You have to know that there is a great tool to get it running on a linux system, namely the [[MokoMakefile]]. This is a sort of wrapper round several instructions, so it is easy to set up and maintain a development environment. If you build the whole [[MokoMakefile]], you will need approximately 12GB, a swap+ram memory of about 1GB and minimum 5 hours time. But we will only build it for Qemu (the emulator that I will use) and that needs (on my system) only 890mb and a 15 min of your time.

To get it running, you will have to tweak your ubuntu a little bit (This will not damage other programs, everything will work as before).
* Configure your sources (System -> Administration -> Software Sources) to include:
** Canonical-supported Open Source software (main)
** Community-maintained Open Source software (universe)
* Open your terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal).
* Enter following command and select NO when it asks to install dash as /bin/sh (You will have to enter your password)
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
* Install the needed programs (You will have to enter your password):
sudo apt-get install monotone git-core cogito python-dev ccache m4 sed bison make cvs gawk libc6-dev g++ subversion sharutils docbook openjade quilt libmpfr-dev libpcre3-dev texinfo texi2html libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-dev zlib1g-dev build-essential dh-make debhelper devscripts gcc-3.4 lynx netpbm libsdl1.2-dev dosfstools help2man python-psyco lynx

Voila your system is ready to get the install Openmoko.

Now we will install Openmoko in a directory by downloading the MokoMakefile in it and build it.
* Create a directory and go into the directory:
mkdir openmoko
cd openmoko
* Get the MokoMakefile:
wget <nowiki>http://www.rwhitby.net/files/openmoko/Makefile</nowiki>
* Make the MokoMakefile and tell it, you want to install it for qemu:
make qemu

This will download the necessary files of the latest release and build them following the MokoMakefile. After that it will start into the emulator for the first time. Voila you have now successfully installed openmoko onto your ubuntu system.

===Creating a menu item for Openmoko (optional)===

You can create a menu item for starting Openmoko by doing the following:

*Open the terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal)

*Go to the openmoko directory:

cd ~/openmoko

*open the file moko.sh with '''gedit''':

gedit moko.sh

*insert the following text into the file:

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/openmoko
make run-qemu

*Press "save" and close gedit

*then run the following commands:
chmod +x moko.sh
alacarte

*and add a menu item with these values:
**Name: Openmoko
**Command: ~/openmoko/moko.sh

**If you want to you can add an appropriate icon by clicking on the image on the top left. You can download some useful images here:
***[http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Artwork Artwork in the Openmoko wiki]
***[http://openclipart.org/media/tags/openmoko Openmoko at the Open Clip Art Library]

==Help with running Openmoko in Qemu==

If you have created a menu item you can start Openmoko through the applications menu of Ubuntu. If you have not, you can start it by:

* Open your terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal).
* Go to the directory:
cd openmoko
* starting with the MokoMakefile
make run-qemu

The first screen of Openmoko will show a nice picture of the Openmoko logo which will be followed
almost immediately by the BOOT MENU, this is done by the bootloader.

In the BOOT MENU you can choose different options. To select an option you have to press enter (=aux) and to execute it, hit space (=power). The default selection will boot Openmoko.
Thus if the BOOT MENU shows, you just have to hit the space bar and the phone software will load.

While booting Openmoko the progress will be shown in text mode. Depending on your computer's performance it might take a while (some minutes even) to complete the boot. When complete you will see the graphical interface as will be shown on the phone itself (but slightly larger due to the larger pixelsize of your screen).

A few pointers on using Openmoko:
* You can select the icon that looks like "+" for a list of applications you can run.
* You can select the icon that looks like "three gears" for a list of applications that are running now. Here you can also terminate unwanted applications when you are unable to do so from within the application itself.
* You can select the icon that looks like a "house" to get back to the first home screen.
* The statusbar at the top is always shown and by clicking on the top-left corner you can switch to another application that is already running. The "Home" application is always running and clicking on it will bring you back to the home screen.

See [[Qemu]] for more advanced information on running Openmoko in Qemu.

==Installing ipk packages==
First you need a xxx.ipk package, see [[toolchain]] on how to compile an application for the ARM CPU and create the package.

Note that if at this point you have the Openmoko Qemu running, it is probably wise to terminate it first.
Then you can install the xxx.ipk package for access by the Qemu emulator with:

cd openmoko
mkdir -p build/tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/a
cp xxx.ipk build/tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/a/xxx_a.ipk
make qemu-copy-package-xxx

''Note: for some reason qemu-copy-package-xxx looks for above source file.
Maybe this part can be improved, or a different command can overcome the problem of creating this directory.''

When above make command was succesful the next time you start Openmoko Qemu,
you still need to make the installed application available in the application list.
For this you can select from within Openmoko the terminal application
(Select icon that looks like "+" for the list of available applicaitons, select "Applications" and select the "Terminal").
In this terminal double-click, so you can type in the commands:
opkg install /media/mmcblk0/xxx_a.ipk
exit
After the "exit" command you should return to the Task list, in which the newly
added application should be listed under a name which was choosen when building the ipk package.

== Updating Openmoko==
* Open your terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal).
* Go to the directory:
cd openmoko
* Update with the MokoMakefile
make qemu

== Problems ==
If you have any problems, just add it here

After issuing the command 'make qemu' in Gutsy, the installation eventually borks with

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/openmoko/build/qemu/arm-softmmu'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/openmoko/build/qemu'

Do you still have the problem?

[[User:Dolfje|Dolfje]] 20:54, 9 April 2008 (CEST)

I tested this today (uImage-2.6.24+svnr4301-r4251-r5-om-gta01.bin) on '''hardy'''. Qemu doesn't compile with gcc4 you need:
sudo aptitude install gcc-3.4
After the init process started, became the emulation extremely slow. It takes more than 15 minutes
to boot the GUI on 2GHz CPU and you have to klick & hold the mouse several seconds to see
any visual response. It would be great if there was a easy way to get a shell,
i.e. why the serial port (ctrl+shift-3) doesn't have a getty & co attached?<br />
Can anybody confirm this?
--[[User:Captn|Captn]] 12:29, 18 April 2008 (CEST)

Hi, just to tell that the ''Install ipkg package'' part is not effective since there is no room to install the .ipk on the QEmu (say ROM image) device.

Have any idea on how to get over it or to enable the automatic memory allocation on QEmu if allowed?

{{todo|{{PAGENAME}}}}

Let us spread the popularity of OpenMoko/Neo1973 by localization of the software and translation of documentation and wiki.

Just as an overview who is able and willing to translate parts into other languages,
please join and add your Language and name. The source for the translation will
be English. If you have good English skills then you could contribute by correcting
the sources :)

A good point to start would be to continuous translating of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMoko into more languages on the other language sites of wikipedia.

"...it is easy to join and spend some minutes for translating,
and when someone finds some mistakes in any languages don't
blame the translator - just be productive and fix it yourself!" -[[User:RobertMichel|Robert Michel]]

Please take a look at [[Translation HOWTO]] and improve it if possible.

== Si heureux de l'avoir fonctionnel! ==

L'installation de mon Moko m'a surprise et j'en ai profité pour m'instuire sur les mécanismes de rinitialisation.
La connectivité réseau s'est faite en un tour de main et me voici parti pour l'aventure !!

Après lecture du [http://openmoko.togaware.com/survivor/ guidedesurvie_OpenMoko_Neo1973] je découvre actuellement les possibilités d'affichage et de contrôle qui existent sur l'appareil. Depuis que j'ai découvert mon Moko, je me sens redécouvrir le monde.

Merci, OpenMoko.

Bientôt je vais passer au travers des projets et des applications en cours pour savoir comment ça marche à peu près et je vais vous revenir avec ce que j'aurai découvert.

== If pleased to be working! ==

The installation of Moko my surprise me and I decided to try m'instuire on rinitialisation mechanisms.
Network connectivity has been in a snap and here I am left for the adventure!

After reading [http://openmoko.togaware.com/survivor/ guidedesurvie_OpenMoko_Neo1973] I discover the possibilities of display and control that exists on the device. Since I have found my Moko, I feel rediscover the world.

Thank you, OpenMoko.

Soon I shall pass through projects and applications underway to find out how it works just about and I will come back with what I have discovered.
