Revision as of 20:19, 10 February 2007

There has been some talk about various Linux based standards and frameworks, and there are a few open software based phones that include applications and frameworks. Here we collect an overall summary of these, so we can figure out what we can leverage from elsewhere, what we need to build from scratch, and any dependencies. Please correct and extend the info on this wiki page.


Base OS
Linux sourced from Gumstix, includes cross compiler and has

Java support Gumstix Software

GSM device driver and libraries
libgsmc

A sample GUI interface for a CLI is being finalized; and GUI support for Qtopia and GTK+ will follow and will include sample applications. libgsmc is hosted at sourceforge.net

EDGE device driver
basic slow IP over GSM
Wifi/Bluetooth/LCD/Touchscreen etc. device drivers
hopefully basic Linux stuff?
GPS, accelerometer, power management
More advanced things we may need

to develop

Application frameworks
GTK+ and Qtopia open source release

This does not include all the phone apps provided with the greenphone

OpenMoko homepage
doesn't yet have links to code, but they have some info at

The LinuxToGo site


Phone calling application
                Basic call management stuff, GUI to dial a number
Web browser - Qt has Opera support
                Not sure how viable Firefox might be on Gumstix
                Flash for Linux? Adobe has x86 version only, not sure about others
Address book application
Calendar application
Notes taking
Mobile oriented email client
MP3 player
Gumstix includes some audio player support.
GPS mapping
perhaps google maps mobile java version? Not sure how to

feed it GPS coordinates, I think some versions of Gmm do interface to GPS, but Java sandbox makes it hard.
