'''Status report for week 2007-10-25 to 2007-11-01'''

Midbrowser status update '''Week 21 -28 April'''
Line 24: Line 22:
    * Mostly working on bug fixes.
    * Analyzed a few sites that didn’t work quite right with Midbrowser. Among them are Microsoft’s *live.com. Those sites didn’t behave correctly because they didn’t think Midbrowser is not one of the supported browsers (Firefox, Netscape, IE). It turns out that by setting the useragent key to Firefox, these sites work just fine. I will put a fix in for that. We also found out that couple of the sites didn’t work because of bug in Adobe’s flash player for Linux. I contacted the owner of the sites and confirmed that.
    * A patch to enable the “pref” extension in the browser is ready. Waiting further code review from Asac and will check the changes it.		  * Added a dialog when terminating MIC. This will let the use know that MIC is trying to unmount all directories and is not frozen.
 * In the kernel we turned on CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME=y to enable SD/MMC memory card S3/S4 persist feature
 * We can translate mozilla applications in launchpad now so Midbrowser should be translated here.

USB Client Status '''Week 29 -05 May'''
Line 30: Line 28:
 Use case:
 * MID is already turned on; plug the MID directly into my PC via USB cable
 * MID's data (videos, music, photos, etc) are visible in the file manager on my PC. They appear on the PC as either as separate volumes or as directories in a single volume
 * Using the file manager on the PC, add/remove files on the MID
 * Unplug the MID from the PC, enjoy the movie I just copied to it

 It's our understanding that Intel is supporting this case through the file-backed storage gadget. Some questions:

 1) Is Intel patching the file-backed storage gadget to expose the client's ext3-formatted filesystem to the host as a FAT filesystem (requiring ext3<-->FAT translation[1])? If not, what is the plan to expose files
     contained by that FAT image to applications on the MID?

 2) Consider the case where I have a MID with 4GB total storage, and I want to copy a 2GB movie to it. How will the file-backed storage gadget handle this situation? The MID doesn't have enough storage for
 2 copies of the movie (one in the FAT image and one in the MID's native ext3 filesystem).

 3) The blueprint and your status report both mention host-side utilities. Are those utilities required for file sharing, or are they used exclusively for sharing the MID's network connection?

 4) The blueprint and your status report both mention Samba for file sharing/transfer. How is Samba relevant to USB Client? When plugged into a PC via USB, will the MID appear as a network share? If so,
     will it also appear as a FAT device? Why present the user that choice?

 USB Client external availability still November 5, 2007

 USB Client Features, from internal release note:

 Drivers:
  1) Support USB2.0 spec to enable Poulsbo USB client hardware.
  2) Support USB Mass Storage class to expose mass storage device.
  3) Support USB CDC-EEM class and RNDIS spec to expose Ethernet device.
  4) Support interoperation with both Linux an Windows host PC of
   VFAT/FAT32 file systems in mass storage device condition.
  5) Support interoperation with both Linux and Windows PC with
   CDC-EEM/RNDIS compatibility.

 Utilities:
  6) Utility automatically start DHCP server to allocate IP addresses in
   host and client if static IP is not chosen.
  7) User can specify directories to share with host through GUI utility.
  8) Samba server is automatically started in client utility to share
   selected folders.
  9) Shared directories will be shown in a GUI Window.
  10) User can set different access permissions to each samba user.

 Known issues:
  1) Drivers are not tested in High-Speed environment due to some known
   HW sightings and bugs in Poulsbo B0 board.
  2) Drivers don't pass USB-IF Compliance test. There are some potential
   bugs about:
     a) USB reset, Power Management
     b) GET_STATUS, CLEAR_FEATURE, SET_FEATURE USB standard control requests
  3) File-backed storage (MSD) gadget doesn't support endpoints STALL feature now,
     set module parameter "stall=0" can work.
  4) USB VID and PID for MSD and RNDIS gadgets are temporary ones.
  5) The solution of static IP option is under discussion and not finalized now.
  6) The interaction of Linux client utility and Windows host utility are not verified.
  7) Client utility sometimes is aborted when new share folder is added.

Mobile build infrastructure

 No progress. Publishing of proprietary builds is blocked on IS (ticket filed). Gutsy + updates is also blocked, pending IS to set up lpia PPAs.

 Other news:

 Pre-alpha was released on Monday: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileAndEmbedded/Pre-Alpha for more information.
  * When MIC encountered an unknown/obsolete platform in one of the projects, it used to terminate. Added an error dialog which now skips such projects and continues with the rest.
 * Added progress bar to MIC Termination Dialog. The progress bar is shown when MIC is trying to unmount all the dirs.

Welcome to the MobileAndEmbedded reporting page. Every month this page reveals a snapshot of the work that has been going on in the Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded Community. If you have have been working hard on the project and want to let others know what you have been up to, try to summarize it here. Community contributions are actively encouraged. A few guidelines for how to write good points are:

  • Keep it simple and short - single sentences are best. Smile :)

  • Try to summarise your work and not be over-detailed - we don't need to know specifics, just a summary of the kind
  • Where possible, include relevant links.

You should get all your reporting included here by the 22nd of every month.

The Report

Week 21 -28 April

  • Added a dialog when terminating MIC. This will let the use know that MIC is trying to unmount all directories and is not frozen.
  • In the kernel we turned on CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME=y to enable SD/MMC memory card S3/S4 persist feature
  • We can translate mozilla applications in launchpad now so Midbrowser should be translated here.

Week 29 -05 May

  • When MIC encountered an unknown/obsolete platform in one of the projects, it used to terminate. Added an error dialog which now skips such projects and continues with the rest.
  • Added progress bar to MIC Termination Dialog. The progress bar is shown when MIC is trying to unmount all the dirs.
