FatPhilwhat kind of fucknut uses grep -x "^...[elided]...$"?09:47
FatPhilwhat bit about ^ and $ wasn't clear?09:47
FatPhilright, let's flash this fscker, nothing of worth on it, clearly...09:48
freemangordonFatPhil: yep, just flash PR1.3 and eMMC09:48
FatPhilmaybe I should do it when I'm sober09:49
FatPhilnahhhhhhhhhhh09:49
freemangordonhmm, isn't it too early in the morning to be drunk?09:49
FatPhilI've got the apt sources lists, and the dpkg -l, so I should be able to find any package that was on here in the past that still exists09:50
FatPhil"unfortunately", last night's tasting session consisted entirely of about 9% beers, so I still have a low density of blood in my alcohol stream09:51
freemangordonoh, I see :)09:51
FatPhilso, a 13-2 EMMC image, and either a 36-2 or 38-1 root image09:53
freemangordonboth roots will do it, 38-1 has some sertificates blacklisted, but this is in cssu too09:53
freemangordonFatPhil: BTW if you're going to jump on cssu-testing, you'd better jump on cssu-thumb09:54
freemangordonsame packages, but way faster09:54
FatPhilthis device is for being on the bleeding edge09:55
freemangordonFatPhil: then cssu-thumb is what you need09:56
freemangordon~cssu-thumb09:56
infobotsomebody said cssu-thumb was <DocScrutinizer05> [thumb2 microb] indeed seems to render like mad, subjectively, or http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=122059709:56
FatPhilnope, a whole pint of pineapple and grapefruit juice is what I need09:56
FatPhilhaha, man, I feel so dumb, I've not used this flasher in about 2 years09:58
freemangordontry some yougurt, mixed with water and a bit of salt, this is what I use usually09:58
*** FlameReaper has quit IRC09:58
freemangordonunfortunately google translates the above mixture as "kefir" which for sure is not true :D09:58
FatPhilhmmm, salty lassi09:59
jon_yis there a way to lock only the hildon-desktop orientation?09:59
freemangordonyes09:59
jon_yI was doing it with gconftool in earlier versions09:59
freemangordonthe same in newer09:59
jon_ybut now the option seems to be ignored09:59
freemangordon~cssu10:00
infobotmethinks cssu is http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU10:00
freemangordonjon_y: gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/desktop_orientation_lock -t bool true10:01
jon_yinfobot: desktop-lock is gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/desktop_orientation_lock -t bool true10:02
infobotokay, jon_y10:02
jon_yfreemangordon: strange, I set it through the gui gconf editor10:03
jon_yit didn't work there10:03
jon_yah wait, I spoke too soon10:03
freemangordonjon_y: then check your gonf editor :)10:03
jon_yno, still going into potrait10:03
freemangordonjon_y: this locks only desktop, not tasknav or app menu10:03
jon_yyeah, I want to lock desktop only10:04
freemangordonweird10:04
jon_yis it maybe because of turbo speed hack?10:04
freemangordonno, the same happens here10:05
jon_yok, yours is not locking either?10:05
freemangordonyep10:05
freemangordonplease file a bug10:05
jon_yhow do I file bug?10:05
jon_yok http://j.mp/communityssu-bugs10:06
FatPhilis the website rather flakey?10:06
freemangordonhttps://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Maemo%205%20Community%20SSU10:06
freemangordonFatPhil: BMO works just fine10:07
freemangordonjon_y: you need to register to enter a bug ofc10:08
FatPhilwiki wasn't10:08
jon_yok10:08
freemangordonwiki is ok too10:08
freemangordonFatPhil: ^^^10:08
FatPhilit's my wifi then10:09
jon_yfreemangordon: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1270710:17
povbot_Bug 12707: /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/desktop_orientation_lock setting ignored10:17
freemangordonthanks10:17
jon_ybtw, is there no way to get around the red boxes in turbo mode?10:18
freemangordonnfc10:18
jon_yI remember it did not have red boxes when setting it for the first time10:18
jon_yonly appeared after the reboot10:18
jon_ydisabling the turbo hack removes the red boxes10:19
jon_yit is back reenabling it10:19
freemangordonshit, ke-recv-extra doesn't have dbg package :(10:19
jon_yI'm fine living with the red boxes though, no biggie10:19
jon_yfast menu makes n900 feels fast10:19
FatPhilstock nokia software is shit10:24
freemangordon:D10:24
FatPhilI've just waited a minute for the browser to load the wiki page, so I could install the thumb repo10:24
FatPhilnot even briefly did the piece of shit browser think that it ought to ask me where the freaking internet is10:25
freemangordonhmm, it is possible your network connection to be crappy10:25
FatPhilwe interviewed someone from the browser team a few weeks ago10:25
FatPhilI forgot to punch him in the face10:25
FatPhilnormally it's amazing10:26
FatPhilI live on a university campus, we have more bandwidth than I know what to do with10:28
FatPhilexcept today, apparently10:28
FatPhilbut that doesn't stop the builtin browser from being a steaming pile10:29
freemangordontry thumb2 version, you'll be surprised10:30
FatPhilIf I can get the current browser pointing in the direction of that repo, I'll do that10:30
FatPhilit really does stink10:31
FatPhilI just disconnects from the wlan, thought I'd try again, and then I did a web search - again, it didn't ask me where the internet was.10:31
FatPhilbring back the nokia bugzilla, I want to get some serious swearing out of my system10:31
FatPhilMaybe they broke it in week 3810:32
FatPhilwhilst they were rejecting real bug fixes, they were  incorporating regressions instead10:33
FatPhilI think this is the first time I've used week 38's image, it's tragically fucked10:33
FatPhilmy daily device is working fine (the week 36 image)10:36
*** LaoLang_cool has joined #maemo-ssu10:37
FatPhilwoh, I can downgrade?!??!10:37
*** sunny_s has quit IRC10:38
FatPhilI didn't check, maybe this has an R&D certificate on it10:38
freemangordonFatPhil: wait, what are you doing?10:38
freemangordondid you run cssu-installer?10:39
FatPhilhaven't run anything on the PoS yet10:42
FatPhilI've just put 36-2 on it, as 38-1 simply didn't  work10:42
FatPhilOnly nokia could have a shutdown process that starts daemons...10:43
FatPhil(that's a lie...)10:43
jon_yfreemangordon: btw, is the n900 qemu a workable solution to test kernel modifications?10:43
freemangordonjon_y: ask Pali, I've never used it10:44
jon_yok10:44
jon_ywill ping him when I see him10:44
FatPhilwhen you test kernel mods - do you have the ability to upload the kernel only to RAM, and run from there? or do you have to flash it?10:45
freemangordonflasher can be used to boot the kernel10:46
freemangordonbut modules should be on rootfs10:46
jon_yyeah10:47
FatPhilno --initfs switch?10:47
jon_yalternatively I could just put it in /opt/boot and use uboot10:47
jon_ydon't think it can10:47
jon_yalso, what kind of dev environment do you guys use?10:48
jon_yat least gcc-4.7.x pls :)10:48
jon_ythe linaro gcc?10:49
FatPhilI build kernels with 4.4.1 apparently10:49
jon_yuboot and linux 3.1x apparently requires 4.7 at least10:50
FatPhilanything that requires a particular compiler version is broken, IMHO10:50
jon_yno, it needs some new features10:50
FatPhilthen it would be broken, see my statement 2 lines up ^^^10:51
*** FlameReaper has joined #maemo-ssu10:51
freemangordonFatPhil: do you remember having problems with gio channels and newer kernels?10:51
FatPhilgpio?10:52
freemangordongio10:52
jon_yFatPhil: you backported gcc-4.7 features?10:52
freemangordonGIOChannel10:52
FatPhiljon_y: what about what I've said lead you to that conclusion?10:52
freemangordonthere is gio set on /proc/mounts10:52
jon_yit does require some new features from later versions10:52
jon_yiirc some new asm instruction10:53
freemangordonthe callback is called every now and then, with GIOCondition == G_IO_IN10:53
freemangordonthis looks similar o the poll() case10:53
freemangordon*to10:53
jon_ysomething to do with DSP instructions according to pali10:53
jon_ywell, here are the binaries I found if anyone is interested https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/+download10:54
*** Pali has joined #maemo-ssu10:54
freemangordonjon_y: 4.2.1 just can't parse some of the headers10:54
FatPhilGIO gives me nothing but glib hits10:54
jon_yhi Pali10:54
jon_yfreemangordon: ok10:54
freemangordonFatPhil: yeah10:54
FatPhilwtf's that to do with the kernel?10:54
freemangordonPali: hi, hulda hits a problem similar to the poll() one10:55
FatPhilif glib can't do something, that's a glib problem10:55
freemangordonsure10:55
*** LaoLang_cool has quit IRC10:55
jon_yPali: what dev environment do you recommend to work with if I were to do some kernel hacking10:56
jon_y?10:56
*** LaoLang_cool has joined #maemo-ssu10:56
FatPhilchrish, 36-2's horrifically broken too, for the same reason10:56
freemangordonPali: it does g_io_add_watch on /proc/mounts and the callback is non-stop called with GIOCondition == G_IO_IN10:56
Palijon_y: is some env needed? I'm using crosscompiler and that is all10:56
*** LaoLang_cool has quit IRC10:57
Palifreemangordon: ok, thanks10:57
jon_yPali: I see10:57
Palifreemangordon: glib does not support some flag?10:57
jon_yPali: https://launchpad.net/linaro-toolchain-binaries/+download these will do fine?10:57
freemangordonPali: the same happens for a NETLINK socket10:57
freemangordonseems like10:57
Palijon_y: which distribution do you have?10:57
Palifreemangordon: I'm sure you *can* wait for data on netlink10:58
jon_yPali: plain debian testing10:58
Palifreemangordon: also in my kernel branch there is already reverted sysfs patch...10:59
freemangordonPali: the problem is that the callback is called with cond == G_IO_IN|G_IO_ERR, which hulda doesn't process. I will fix that and see what happens10:59
freemangordonbecause someone never think that cond is a bitfiels11:00
freemangordon*bitfield11:00
Paliok, try to fix it11:00
freemangordonPali: http://pastebin.com/zm0dHXeP11:01
*** discopig has quit IRC11:01
freemangordonPali: any clue what hulda is supposed to do?11:01
Palijon_y: looks like debian does not have arm cross comilers in repository11:01
Palitry to install some11:01
freemangordonI will try11:01
jon_yok11:01
Palifreemangordon: no11:02
*** discopig has joined #maemo-ssu11:02
jon_yPali: also, what do you recommend I use if I am to rebuild your power kernel?11:02
jon_yjust cross compilers?11:02
Palijon_y: for kernel-power, you can use scratchbox or madde too11:02
FatPhilubuntu has xcompilers11:03
jon_y~scratchbox11:03
infobot[scratchbox] a cross-compiling system that uses binfmt_misc, rpc calls, and an nfs mount to make a cross-build appear to be 100% native, and is found at http://www.scratchbox.org/, or hosted by maemo.org now, maintainer thedead144011:03
Palibut cross compiler is enough (if you do not want flasher package)11:03
jon_yI want the boot image for uboot11:03
Palifor zImage you do not needed nothing else11:03
jon_yok, just scratchbox11:04
jon_y~madde11:04
jon_ysomething like this I guess http://wiki.maemo.org/CSSU-thumb_toolchain_setup_%28gcc4.7.2-linaro%2911:05
FatPhilnah, wifi just doesn't seem to work in this device :-(11:09
FatPhilgonna make installing CSSU rather hard11:09
kerioi have that problem too :c11:11
keriousb networking is still an option11:11
*** iDont has joined #maemo-ssu11:11
FatPhilthe bizarre thing is that I'm sure it worked before I flashed it11:13
FatPhilonly nokia could write software that shuts down in order to power up11:15
freemangordonPali: netlink socket problem solved11:16
Paliok :-)11:17

jonwilalthough having read through most of the big Neo900 project, I might be inspired to jump back into reverse engineering of those bits that will be the most useful to the Neo900 project going forward from a software perspective (if one could figure out what those actually are :)14:59

jonwilAlso right now I need something good to sink my teeth into so I can completly avoid the TV and internet news (we just had an election in my country and it looks like the party I really really hate is going to win with a massive majority and bring in all these laws that are bad for the country and only good for the big end of town so reading news about it will just make me depressed)15:04

jon_yis it possible to rework the sim interface code so I can save numbers into sim cards?15:06
jonwilI dont know enough about the SIM interface to answer that question15:07
jon_yok, what do you plan to work on?15:07
jonwilI dont know15:07
jonwilI need to talk to people who actually know things about the Neo900 and its planned software stack in order to figure out where my skills would be most useful...15:08
jon_yall I know that it is supposed to be compatible with the original n90015:08
jonwilyeah I read that too15:09
jonwilI seriously doubt they will be able to use the same cellular modem though so replacing the cellular services daemon will probably be necessary15:09
dos1jonwil: we plan to use FSO (freesmartphone.org) for the GSM middleware and implement some kind of bridge between it and isi so blobs can still access modem like they do on N90015:09
jon_yoh, make conversation recording less of a pain15:10
jon_yif the neo900 can record calls automatically and easily, I'd be raelly happy15:10
jon_yrecaller is a bit buggy at times15:11
dos1or reimplement GSM daemon to have the same API but use FSO internally15:11
dos1I'm not sure how GSM middleware works right now on Maemo (but I'm quite experienced with FSO)15:11
jonwilGSM on maemo is done by the cellular services daemon15:11
jonwiland by plugins for that daemon (e.g. csd-call, csd-gprs, csd-sms etc)15:12
jonwilmost of the talking to the next pieces up in the stack is done by dbus15:12
dos1so I guess we can try to reimplement its dbus API with a bridge that will call FSO dbus API15:13
jonwilI suspect a useful use of my time would be to document as much as possible of the places (dbus and otherwise) where the cellular services daemon and its plugins/related libraries talk to the outside world and the upper levels of the N900 software stack15:13
jonwilIts hard because the cellular services daemon dbus interface is undocumented :(15:13
dos1jonwil: yeah, that would be great15:16
jon_ymake a fake dbus server that pass stuff through?15:16
dos1what about hacking libdbus to log every call made via it? :D15:17
jon_yyeah, something like that15:17
jon_yyay printf debugging!15:17
keriojust use dbusmonitor15:18
kerio*dbus-monitor15:18
jonwilThe issue isn't logging things (that's what dbus-monitor is for), its figuring out what stuff actually does and about making sure you have covered every possible interface (which involves reverse-engineering)15:18
jonwilIt is a pitty the N900 community does not have the kind of guru-level reverse engineering guys that other communities have15:24
*** NIN101 has quit IRC15:25
dos1jonwil: some an alternative to reimplementing csd api would be reusing csd and imitating isi modem (which seems to be documented pretty well)15:27
dos1but I guess getting rid of csd blob could be beneficial in long term15:28
FatPhilhmmm, so now I have thumb CSSU what should I do with it?15:29
jonwilisi modem isn't as documented as you might think15:29
Palifreemangordon, did you fixed hulda?15:29
dos1jonwil: there already is working ISI support in FSO15:31
dos1(but not sure if complete)15:32
dos1so it'd have to be "reversed", and I suspect imitating modem should be a bit easier than handling it15:32
DocScrutinizer05jonwil: (replacing cmt interface sw) indeed, that's the most demanding and painful/problemantic part15:37
DocScrutinizer05ooh, dos1 beat me to it15:38
*** Vlad_on_the_road has quit IRC15:38
dos1:)15:39
jonwilparts of ISI are well documented (mostly though the work Nokia did when they added N900 support to ofono) but lots of other parts are not documented (for example there is a dbus call named get_service_provider_info and there is no documentation at all anywhere for the ISI calls that this dbus call ultimately matches to15:39
jonwilThere are parts we have documentation on from various sources15:40
jonwilParts we have some limited details of (e.g. header files with data structures) but no documentation15:40
jonwilAnd parts we have nothing for15:40
DocScrutinizer05I thought we might replace libisi?15:40
DocScrutinizer05isn't there such a thing that finally handles *all* communication 8minus sound) to the modem?15:41
DocScrutinizer05would be one (or more) layer *under* csd*15:41
jonwilBasically what you have is modem firmware15:42
jonwilthen kernel and drivers that talk to it15:42
dos1I'm not sure if such thing like libisi exists in Maemo15:42
DocScrutinizer05 /usr/lib/libisi.so.115:42
dos1och, so it exists :)15:42
jonwilok, so basically what you have is libisi doing most of the communications to the modem (some other bits of the system may talk to kernel directly without going through libisi but I dont know about that)15:43
jonwillibisi though is a generic library for talking to the modem and passing data packets from higher level libs15:43
*** Vlad_on_the_road has joined #maemo-ssu15:43
jonwil'and its totally undocumented15:44
DocScrutinizer05there are more than one approach to this, we need to discuss the pros and cons of each15:44
dos1so confusing... library fso and ofono folks worked on was also named libisi15:44
jonwiland totally different to any isi code in fso (or in ofono where fso guys got lots of the N900/isi code/info from IIRC)15:44
DocScrutinizer05I'm sure we will be able to RE what libisi API offers15:45
dos1personally I'd prefer to see csd being replaced with fso bridge, such solution would be the sanest from my pov15:46
dos1but that does not take the amount of work needed for that into consideration15:46
DocScrutinizer05indeed15:46
DocScrutinizer05csd does a lot of high level protocol heavy lifting15:46
DocScrutinizer05IOW much of the every day phone stack stability of maemo is from csd15:47
DocScrutinizer05I _think_ we might go for a fake libisi _first_, then in step two of this enterprise create a much more ambitioned project that#s aiming at replacing csd by fso15:48
DocScrutinizer05I'm open to discussions on that15:49
jonwilBasically we have several theoretical options (some of which are probably not possible):15:50
DocScrutinizer05yep15:50
jonwilIf we ignore the options that we cant do (i.e. using the same cellular chip set and firmware as Nokia) the options we do have are:15:51
jonwil1.Replace the kernel bits that talk to the cellular modem with something that exposes the same interface to userspace but which takes the N900-format cellmo data packets and converts them into whatever the cellmo we use is expecting15:52
jonwil2.Same as #1 but replacing libisi (low level library that talks to kernel and takes in data packets from next level up)15:53
*** Vlad_on_the_road has quit IRC15:53
jonwilProblems with #1 and #2 are all the isi data packets where no documentation exists (or where we only have a .h file with no info on what it actually means)15:54
dos1for me, we can forget about #1, which imo is basically #2 done in the wrong place :P15:55
jonwilyeah we can :)15:55
jonwilOption #3 is to forget about isi, reverse engineer the cellular services daemon and replace it with something that talks the same dbus (and other) interfaces to the next bits up but does things differently further down15:55
jonwilOption #4 is to identify the things that have dependencies on the cellular services daemon and rewrite them so they do things differently (e.g. replacing libicd-network-gprs with something that is functionally identical except that it talks to whatever GPRS interface is exposed by FSO rather than to what is exposed by the csd-gprs plugin)15:57
DocScrutinizer05dos1: I don't agree about wrong place. I completely agree about "forget it, can't be done"15:57
FatPhilso do I need to install a new kernel or anything?15:57
DocScrutinizer05for thumb?15:58
jonwilOption #5 is a combination of #3 and #415:58
DocScrutinizer05or on Neo900?15:58
dos1DocScrutinizer05: AT interpreter in kernel wouldn't be out of place? that would in fact transform into in-kernel fsogsmd with isi api instead of dbus15:59
FatPhilDocScrutinizer05: for thumb, yes15:59
jonwili.e. we identify all the bits of the system that are dependent on CSD and its plugins and depending on that we either replace it with something that talks to FSO (e.g. for the widget that displays cellular signal level we can replace with something that talks to existing FSO interface for signal level)15:59
DocScrutinizer05yes, you need thumb-enabled kernel and you're probably in trouble already if you don't have it installed15:59
jonwilor we implement the interfaces that are required for that blob inside FSOGSMD16:00
DocScrutinizer05you can flash thumb kernel, but you can't install the modules needed if you don't have already and your device blows up during boot16:00
DocScrutinizer05or at least it's for sure not easy to install those modules when the system blows chunks16:01
DocScrutinizer05dos1: there are ways to expose a phonet device but do the conversion to AT in userland16:02
DocScrutinizer05but I guess it would be a nightmare16:02
DocScrutinizer05since you not only need an AT interpreter but also a comprehensive ISI interpreter16:03
DocScrutinizer05I don't know if it would be easier to accomplish than replacing libisi with something that doesn't talk to phonet device but exposes similar compatible API to next upper layer16:04
DocScrutinizer05my general stategy would be: start as low as possible, evaluate feasibility. If not possible to get done, go up one layer and redo evaluation.16:06
DocScrutinizer05layer 0: phonet device. layer 1: libisi API16:06
DocScrutinizer05layer 2: probably csd replacement16:06
DocScrutinizer05layer 2.5: dbus translator/bridge to csd16:07
DocScrutinizer05layer 3: apps?16:07
DocScrutinizer05layer 3 == jonwil's option #416:08

jonwilthe actual wlan/bt chips being used are disconnected enough from the rest of the system that its not an issue for us18:10

DocScrutinizer05but the rest of the chip can either be well documented or not at all documented18:11
DocScrutinizer05I don't know if there are even open firmwares for some chips18:11

DocScrutinizer05not that RMS is any relevant to me or Neo900 here18:23
dos1right, just pointing out that he sees some difference there18:24
DocScrutinizer05my take on that is: any blob you upload to a chip is initialization data, and thus not a subject to FOSS and openness of the system18:24
DocScrutinizer05dos1: I think RMS doesn't ,ake sense in that respect18:25
dos1yeah, I agree with you18:25

freemangordon_FatPhil: if you installed cssu-thumb, you already have the needed kernel19:03
*** freemangordon_ is now known as freemangordon19:03
jonwilthe list covers packages I think we can drop (either due to hardware changes or just stuff we dont need or care about), packages we have actual code (or useable replacements) for, packages we can probably use as-is without change and then various packages we need to make decisions on19:04
jonwili.e. drop, clone, modify, replace, re-use-as-is, whatever19:04
Palijonwil: I updated closed packages wiki page, so all working are now green19:05
FatPhilfreemangordon: are there n900-based build tools? (yes, it takes 2 hours to build the kernel, this I already know)19:07
jonwilso yeah feel free to comment on my list and get discussion going on where we need to focus efforts re cloning things/reverse engineering things/whatever :)19:09
sixwheeledbeastjonwil: your TMO post is lacking in [code] boxes or some sorta formatting ;)19:14
freemangordonFatPhil: afaik yes, but I've never tried it19:21
jonwilno-one has any useful comments on my list?19:22
jonwilthe Cellular Services Daemon certainly looks like the biggest missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle that needs solving19:24
jonwilits by far the biggest undocumented piece of maemo19:26
DocScrutinizer05jonwil: there are probably a truckload of comments to your list. I already posted19:28
DocScrutinizer05I think you can't handle all the possible comments on a single thread in tmo19:28
jonwilok19:29
DocScrutinizer05we should find out about hierarchy of the libs related to CSD19:29
jonwilI already know heirerchy19:29
jonwillibisi and libisi-glib live at the bottom19:30
jonwilthen libraries like libsms0 sit on top of libisi19:30
DocScrutinizer05there must be some sort of hierarchy, like "all other libs base on libisi.so either directly or via other libs"19:30
jonwilthen the CSD plugins sit on top of those libs19:30
DocScrutinizer05we need to document this19:30
jonwileverything that the CSD plugins do ultimately does end up in libisi19:30
DocScrutinizer05thus my suggestion to port it to a wiki19:31

DocScrutinizer05Fremantle Porting Task Force19:33
jonwil:)19:33
DocScrutinizer05you did a nice and bold introduction19:34
*** arcean has quit IRC19:34
jonwilI think my #1 maemo wish would be to have the docs and details of all the dbus interfaces that are exposed by the cellular services daemon with #2 being some dev packages for a few libraries like libconnui and libconnui-cellular and a couple others :)19:34
jonwilThe good news is that we DO have docs for both the csd-gprs plugin and the csd-net plugin19:35
dos1where?19:37
dos1oh, googled - in package itself :)19:38
DocScrutinizer05needs all to go onto that wiki page!19:38
jonwilWhat we dont have is any docs at all for the csd-call, csd-info, csd-sim, csd-simpb, csd-sms or csd-ss plugins (except for what little has been figured out via reverse engineering or pulled from open pieces of code like bluetooth stack)19:45
jonwilbluez in particular was nice for figuring out a few things :)19:47
DocScrutinizer05well, we can figure a lot of what they do. simpb==SIM phonebook access, ss==supplementary-services, info is a tad obscure. All probably have top end d-bus IF, and bottom end lib-xy (whatever libisi.so or anything similar)19:49
jonwilyeah we can figure out in broad terms what they do19:50
jonwilbut we need to know what the various dbus interfaces they expose do19:50
DocScrutinizer05the state machines inside those is what we would need to re-create19:50
DocScrutinizer05it's not exactly trivila to send or receive a sms19:51
DocScrutinizer05for example19:51
DocScrutinizer05trivial*19:51
jonwilwell ofono/fsogsmd presumably already does SMS sending, we would just need to make it expose the same interface as csd-sms (for example)19:51
DocScrutinizer05sned sms PDU, wait for response, handle error response, handle OK response, handle receipt notification, handle unsolicited interleaved responses19:52
DocScrutinizer05yup, basically that's it19:53
DocScrutinizer05handle all that configuration SMs et al cruft19:54
DocScrutinizer05sure FSO (and ofono) are supposed to already know how to handle all this19:55
DocScrutinizer05FSO even works on d-bus, just like CSD does19:56
dos1I'd be willing to work on recreating those APIs based on FSO19:56
dos1if we go that way19:56
DocScrutinizer05I still prefer looking into libisi and what are the methods exposed on it's API upside interface19:57
DocScrutinizer05only ONE blob to RE19:57
jonwilreplacing libisi wont help, we would still need to understand all the undocumented n900 cellmo packets that get sent down from above19:58
DocScrutinizer05everybody talking to libisi "modem do this, modem do that". We should be able to translate to another slang19:58
jonwillibisi is just transport library19:58
jonwilso stuff says to libisi, "connect to modem interface xyz"19:58
DocScrutinizer05umpf, then scrap that idea19:58
jonwilor "send this packet to isi"19:58
DocScrutinizer05I think suddenly replacing CSD by FSO looks _much_ more applealing than it did to me 10 min ago19:59
dos1damn it19:59
dos1is there some easy way to power N900 without usb and battery? :P20:00
DocScrutinizer05err, nope, not really20:00
DocScrutinizer05unless you got a lab power supply20:01
DocScrutinizer05or other *stabilaized* 4.0V power source20:01
DocScrutinizer05o/ bbl20:02
dos1or maybe would soldering loose cables to usb pins be easier than soldering whole socket? :P20:04
keriobuy something that can charge a bl-5j20:04
dos1I'm total noob in this regard, but I'd like to have N900 running even in "stationary mode"20:05
dos1kerio: with my luck and laziness I suspect that scenario when I'll find some time for playing with it I'll find out that battery is flat will happen often :P20:06
dos1but maybe with second battery it wouldn't be a problem...20:06
