Numptyphysics this great physics drawing game is reborn! Game can be played landscaped, without keyboard and it uses same datafiles than any other numptyphysics-port. (http://www.opkg.org/package_3.html) upstream news: newer physics engine (Box2d v2.0.1 http://www.box2d.org), scalable window with commandline parameters (so every platfrom will use same datafiles), faster drawing, more levels, action replays (https://garage.maemo.org/scm/?group_id=638) port news: onSceenKeyboard (control-panel), action replays removed (doesn't yet work correct with freerunner), NextLevel-dialog-overlay is non-draggable (so clicking it is easier) ( http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/rantalai/freerunner/numptyphysics/ )


Flashing the Neo GSM modem

This is a Wiki that explains how to upgrade the GSM modem firmware of the Neo.

System

They are closing in on a fix to the GSM-noise buzz issue on the hardware mailing list. This may make it on the A7 hardware revision.

The kernel guys are trying to switch from the "stable" to the stable-tracking branch, which is updated more frequently. [ http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2008-November/006238.html around Nov. 2nd]:

  • NAND/ECC kernel issues are supposedly solved by this patch.
  • Glamo GPIO not working on resume somehow leading to WSOD
  • warnings from WLAN driver about "warn_on_slowpath" are gone
  • breakage on Accel

replacement of the Atheros SDIO stack underneath the WLAN driver with the Linux SDIO stack is planned but not scheduled.
