10:49.17DocScrutinizer05ok, again a kind reminder: there's a new'ish GTA04 project in its early kickoff phase, see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91142. Registering on tmo is a lightweight process if you want to vote and/or contribute there. Of course you as well can express your interest on GoldeliCo's wishlist: https://shop.goldelico.com/wiki.php?page=Wishlist&referer=GTA04%20Custom (at least that's what I think you can do there, after
10:49.18DocScrutinizer05registering) Don't forget to mention "Neo900" resp "GTA04-N900" as subject you're interested in. Sweetspot is probably ~700EUR

11:02.11*** join/#openmoko-cdevel ttyUSB3 (~o@gateway/tor-sasl/omlib)
11:33.42kerioDocScrutinizer05: that's a silly poll
11:34.32keriobecause i'm willing to pay 500, but i'm even more willing to pay 300
11:50.03DocScrutinizer05kerio: sorry, that's a silly comment since we are interested what's the maximum price customers are willing to pay
11:51.06DocScrutinizer05I don't think anybody will refrain from buying when device gets cheaper than what s/he been willing to pay at maximum
11:53.30DocScrutinizer05so we can start production when either (according to dos1's list which for Neo900 is 100EUR or more off) we have 100 users willing to pay 600 or more, or when we have 1000 users willing to pay 500 or more
11:55.31dos1let's wait for list straight from Nikolaus, as that one was for GTA04 with some upgrading and new plastic case plans
12:00.25dos1DocScrutinizer05: sad there's no possibility for changing votes in the poll, people's opinions may (and probably will) change over time
12:01.43dos1(and I'd probably get just a board, but selected maximum price I'd pay at all... bleh :/)

12:15.28DocScrutinizer05sorry that's vBulletin. And I think this poll is just to attract interest, the real thing has to happen on Nikolaus' wishlist in the end anyway
12:16.14*** join/#openmoko-cdevel aGaTHoS (~H@unaffiliated/agathos)
12:16.28DocScrutinizer05I pondered quite some time if I should do a poll at all, but knowing tmo users I thought it's probably a brilliant way to attract more interest

12:24.16dos1ok
12:36.29dos1DocScrutinizer05: i've just sent an e-mail to mls about Neo900
12:36.51DocScrutinizer05mls?
12:37.17dos1maillists
12:37.18dos1:D
12:37.58dos1to openmoko community, openphoenux community and HNS himself
12:39.16DocScrutinizer05mhm, good
12:39.20DocScrutinizer05please see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:JOERG
12:40.48dos1ok
12:48.47DocScrutinizer05great mail :-)
12:50.05DocScrutinizer05please keep in mind that momentum on maemo community and particularly on tmo is a rather volatile thing
12:50.41DocScrutinizer05needs to get a push twice a day, or it will fade away and topic gets obsolete like yesterday's newspaper
12:52.35DocScrutinizer05when i asked for donations to keep maemo.org infra alive, we drummed up like 2500EUR during 2 weeks, another 2000 during the 7 months since
12:53.34DocScrutinizer05despite that fact that I unambiguously explained that recurring donations are way more important than one time huge gifts
12:54.19DocScrutinizer05maybe the analogy is a poorly chosen one, but anyway...
12:54.50DocScrutinizer05expect for maybe <10% of those excited people still to be around in 4 weeks
12:55.11dos1yeah, as usual
12:55.50dos1it still shows that there's at least some momentum to be gained from current N900 owners
12:55.51DocScrutinizer05so we need to hook them *now* ;-D
12:56.04DocScrutinizer05toldya :-)
12:56.21dos1yup, that's why I'm writing those lengthy posts and e-mails :D
12:56.30DocScrutinizer05huge userbase that easily gets excited when *anything* promises a future for fremantle
12:58.30DocScrutinizer05during last council elections they asked me what's my perspective for fremantle's future in maybe 2 years or whatever. Damn that been one flaming when I told there *is* no future for fremantle, it at best stays static since there's no new device in vicinity
12:59.06DocScrutinizer05still I got I think ~80% of votes for council ;-P
13:09.43radekpDocScrutinizer05: binary compatibility with maemo is nice idea, i always wondered if i could launch maemo on GTA04, but was lazy to try ;-)
13:10.21DocScrutinizer05radekp: we need to do that now, rather soonish
13:10.58DocScrutinizer05radekp: see http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/Maemo_Getting_Started
13:12.02DocScrutinizer05nothing lures in future customers better than a youtube video with a demonstration of a running system
13:12.05radekpahh cool
13:21.21DocScrutinizer05the benefit of maemo fremantle: it has known-to-work power management all the way from userland apps down to special kernel and device drivers
13:22.47DocScrutinizer05we might need to swap some device drivers to meet board config of GTA04(-N900) but I think we then can debug and test those few very thoroughly
13:23.46DocScrutinizer05the suspend-to-RAM concept you followed so far might have its very own nasty problems with power management
13:24.02DocScrutinizer05I strongly suggest to ditch it
13:24.19DocScrutinizer05on OMAP platform it's silly
13:26.23DocScrutinizer05maemo fremantle *somehow* supports it, but for sure has issues (like keyboard not working anymore, and BB5 modem waking up the system anyway after a few seconds)
13:27.23DocScrutinizer05btw I think the kbd issue can get fixed by prepending the suspend command with "sleep 5;"
13:27.40DocScrutinizer05so you can release the enter key befor device goes to sleep
13:28.59DocScrutinizer05nevermind, a maemo system on a OMAP platform doesn't need nor want suspend-to-ANYTHING
13:30.49kerioDocScrutinizer05: why not?
13:31.06DocScrutinizer05why?
13:31.14flingwhat is gta04-n900?
13:31.21flingis it a mobo replacement for n900?
13:31.23keriofling: like the gta04, but for the n900
13:31.28flingoh!
13:31.40flingI have not tried n900 yet.
13:31.52keriohopefully it's going to be fully compatible with maemo fremantle, software-wise
13:31.53flingIf it't keyboard good…
13:31.59kerioit's actually not that bad
13:32.03keriobut ctrl is in an awkward position
13:32.14kerioso stuff like ctrl+1 requires two hands
13:32.24DocScrutinizer05:-P
13:32.25kerioer, no, ctrl+1 is fine, ctrl+2 requires two hands
13:32.26flingI use weird xmodmap :P
13:32.39kerioyou can use it on the n900!
13:32.47flinggreat!
13:32.52kerioit runs x11
13:32.56flingso it is another mobo, right?
13:33.04kerioit's nothing, yet
13:33.09flingok.
13:33.17flingbut it is perfect :D
13:34.28*** join/#openmoko-cdevel slyon_ (~slyon@2001:a60:2518:aa01:1116:7611:3db:18cd)
13:34.31keriobuy a n900, they're fairly cheap atm
13:35.07flingkerio: the price will go up soon… :P
13:35.24radekpDocScrutinizer05: well i was using suspend to ram because there is nothing better for GTA04 :)
13:36.49radekpDocScrutinizer05: i can turn off the LCD and let the cpufreq set CPU to lowest frequency, but then it's somewhere around ~100mA
13:38.14DocScrutinizer05CPU should zero-clock
13:38.36DocScrutinizer05and notick kernel
13:39.08DocScrutinizer05means the whole thing absolutely freezes when no task pending
13:39.19DocScrutinizer05better than suspend to RAM
13:39.37radekpbut i guess that needs some patches that are not upstream?
13:39.45DocScrutinizer05even better: it's kinda automagic
13:40.01slyonDocScrutinizer05, dos1: hey! your hype seems to work, you got me excited about "Neo900". And as i read you got Nikolaus on board as well, nice!
13:40.36DocScrutinizer05actually it been nikolaus mailing me who started that whole hype I drummed up
13:41.15slyonoh wow! i wouldn't have expected this from nikolaus
13:41.29DocScrutinizer05I suggested Neo900 several times during last few months, but it wasn't until Nikolaus uttered interest in the idea that I dared to start a hype about it
13:42.14DocScrutinizer05despite I been well aware of the "synergy" effects
13:42.17kerioradekp: with the display turned off, the n900 uses up about... 10mA?
13:42.25keriowithout anything using up the cpu
13:42.27*** join/#openmoko-cdevel ggoZ (~zogg@78-57-110-120.static.zebra.lt)
13:42.33DocScrutinizer05rather 5mA
13:43.12keriodon't be silly, nobody uses 2g anymore
13:43.24DocScrutinizer05which is in line with product specs for standby time on 2G
13:43.32DocScrutinizer05meh!!!
13:43.40DocScrutinizer05or then 7mA
13:43.52DocScrutinizer05for 3G
13:44.53DocScrutinizer05I wonder if we can get there on GTA04, since aiui it has modem linked up via USB
13:44.59DocScrutinizer05USB is greedy
13:45.22keriojesus :s
13:46.30jake42it's rather hard to source umts-modems which fit onto the board
13:46.38jake42that's why iirc
13:46.41DocScrutinizer05I know
13:46.54DocScrutinizer05just saying
13:47.55DocScrutinizer05back for GTA03 USB wasn't an option neither for OM nor for the consultants of Siemens who sold us the MC75i
13:48.38DocScrutinizer05luckily that MC75i had serial fast enough for EDGE
13:48.55DocScrutinizer05and USB we could ramp up for bulk data transfer
13:49.44DocScrutinizer05and all three interfaces (2 * serial, 1 * USB IIRC) were equal in functionality
13:50.25DocScrutinizer05ask Mickey about the details, he knows his muxer ;-D
13:51.14DocScrutinizer05we might find a similar dual-channel solution for the option-modem maybe
13:52.07DocScrutinizer05or just maaaaybe it's even possible to suspend USB when not active, and resume in a fraction of a second
13:52.32DocScrutinizer05anyway OMAP musb core eats some 60mA just for being enabled
13:52.49DocScrutinizer05terible POS
13:54.01DocScrutinizer05there's a reason why OMAP SoC uses McBSP everywhere
13:54.31DocScrutinizer05glorified SPI I think
13:56.00DocScrutinizer05anyway, this wee Nikolaus and me will review the schematics of N900 and GTA04 side by side, and list all the differences and possible problem topics
13:56.05DocScrutinizer05week even
13:57.03DocScrutinizer05then we know more about general feasibility of Neo900 project ;-)
13:57.03flingn900 schematics?
13:57.08DocScrutinizer05sure
13:57.14flingwhere are they?
13:57.24DocScrutinizer05google is your friend ;-)
13:57.38jake42yeah, wonder if all the current chips on gta04 will fit into a n900
13:57.55DocScrutinizer05of course there are also well (un-)known locations where to get everything
13:58.00flingit is on maemo wiki :P
13:58.20DocScrutinizer05the schematics? I doubt
13:58.29flinghttp://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Schematic
13:58.32DocScrutinizer05but wiki has a few links
13:58.59DocScrutinizer05I hope they still work for you
13:59.03flingand this > http://www.smdcode.com/detail/service-manuals/mobile-phones/nokia/nokia-n900-rx-51-service-schematics-v2.pdf
13:59.16DocScrutinizer05looks ok
14:11.31radekpDocScrutinizer05: i think on GTA04 you can suspend USB, the modem generates interrupt on incoming call/SMS
14:11.42rah"the whole device is 100% open, you get all the schematics, datasheets and everything"
14:11.45rahDocScrutinizer05: dafuq?
14:12.16radekpDocScrutinizer05: QtMoko event closes the /dev/ttyHSO port during suspend and then reopens it
14:12.59DocScrutinizer05that's not relevant for maemo
14:13.53DocScrutinizer05and it also is not relevant for 60mA wasted energy on musb core during device active
14:14.59DocScrutinizer05and I'm not even 100% convinced that it will shutdown musb core incl the adjacent 2 or 3 power domains correctly
14:15.59DocScrutinizer05there's at least a power domain for: bus from CPU to musb core; musb core itself; ULPI bus from musb core to PHY
14:16.01rahDocScrutinizer05: "what we won't hand out are the gerber files to feed the fab with"
14:16.16rahDocScrutinizer05: will you hand out every file except the gerber files?
14:16.22DocScrutinizer05rah: do you find better ways to annoy me?
14:16.34rahDocScrutinizer05: this is a reasonable question I think
14:16.54rahDocScrutinizer05: there are many files that Schaller won't hand out
14:17.09rahDocScrutinizer05: if this is going to be a Schaller product then you won't get those files either
14:17.10DocScrutinizer05which are in paricular?
14:17.18raheagle schematics files
14:18.39rahDocScrutinizer05: if you're not going to hand them out then your post is fallacious
14:19.00DocScrutinizer05I said all i had to say, in my answer to this dispute on ML

14:19.47DocScrutinizer05also please note that i'm neither Nikolaus nor any employee of GoDeliCo
14:19.57rahok
14:20.06DocScrutinizer05I don't deny that you annoy me to death
14:20.23rahhow are you going to produce the gerber files?
14:20.40rahare you going to create a design yourself?
14:21.07DocScrutinizer05how are you going to stop annoying me. You seem to have a habit to do, since move of OM infra
14:21.39rahwhy don't you put personal issues aside and we can focus on the work at hand?
14:21.51rahwhich is: producing a free phone
14:21.52rahright?
14:22.02DocScrutinizer05why don't you stop being a ass
14:22.35rahyou don't want to work together to produce a free phone?
14:22.42DocScrutinizer05btw it seems sth is wrong with my ignore list, I could bet on that
14:23.07DocScrutinizer05no, tbh I rather don't "work together" with you, dude
14:23.48rahthe feeling is mutual but I'd much rather have a free phone than a massaged ego
14:23.53rah*shrug*
14:23.58DocScrutinizer05you been a severe PITA back when it came to keeping OM infra alive, and nothing in your way to pester any annoy people seems to have changed since
14:24.55DocScrutinizer05I much rather do useful work than discussing shit with you
14:25.56DocScrutinizer05and again, *nobody* owes you *anything*, I told you several months (years?) ago and I repeat that now
14:27.29DocScrutinizer05for reducing your medical care invoice: replace "gerber" by "project" when reading my post
14:28.19DocScrutinizer05and keep in mind that I can't speak for GolDeliCo
