[Gpephone-devel] OpenEmbedded updates

[JIANG Dan RD-ILAB-PEK]

Hi, Florian

Could you explain a little bit more about point 4?

By "The very basic functions of the modem work", do you mean that you could use basic modem functions (such as daill, accept, etc.) with the new image on the A780? 

Could phoneserver work for the new image? 
More information about the phoneserver working status is necessary to add support to phoneserver.

Regards.

Hello,

i checked in various fixes and updates into the OpenEmbedded org.openembedded.dev branch today.
I built updated Angstrom based images for the Motorola A780 and the result is much better than before:
- G(PE)^2 starts up into the UI
- No login should be required anymore
- Latest SMS, gpe-applauncher and libim bugfixes are included.
- Touchscreen calibration works

Known issues and limitations:
1. Touchscreen is still buggy
2. Buttons except of the power button do not work 3. No power management 4. No support for the modem in our software 5. Poor usability because of lacking softkeys.

1. and 2. both minor issues and should be easy to fix.
3. is a major task, bus the power manage features of the CPU are supported in Linux already.
4. The very basic functions of the modem work, what we need to do is to add support for it to our phoneserver.
For these porting projects it would be a good idea to think about an architecture where we can select the modem to support easily.
5. is another challenge, the A780 has a completely different usage concept compared to the major share of phones that use softkeys below the screen.

Enjoy!

Greetings

Florian
