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 support exists
- Accelerometer, power management
- More advanced things we may need to develop ourselves
- 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. There is some discussion of GPS on the OpenMoko Software page
