Battery monitor

I'm working on kernel for rx1950 in parallel with userspace work. Since next step is improved battery driver, I've spent couple of hours to create following app. It's simple battery monitor with logging capability - I need some logs to get U,I(t) battery dependencies, as I don't believe windows driver, it seems that it displays battery level applying some heuristic - I don't see direct correlation between battery voltage/current and level displayed by windows driver.

P.S. I've sent rx1950 patches upstream on 20 of March and still no responce. I'm a bit disappointed - does it really take so long to review patch series?

I would of thought you might have gotten some notification that they were looking at it or planning to look at it fairly quickly. Maybe everyones been on an extended easter holiday. Is there an IRC channel or mailing list that you can follow up on and give someone a nudge to provide some feedback? Might be worth doing if you don't hear anything in the next couple of weeks.

I've got a response from Ben that patches look ok, but some minor cleanup is necessary, I've asked for some clarification, and still no response... It seems that Ben is busy and has no time for reviewing patches :(

Access point with Raspberry Pi and rtl8192cu dongle

On Thursday ethernet ports (WAN and LAN1-4) in my Asus WL500GPv1 router have completely died, so I needed a replacement. Hopefully, recently I've got Raspberry Pi, so I decided to use it as a router. I've got TP-LINK TL-WN821NC USB stick from local store which is based on RTL8192CU chipset. Unfortunately, its driver doesn't work with vanilla hostapd, but requires patched ancient version of hostapd from Realtek . I'm using Archlinux on my rpi and I've found manual how to setup AP using this USB stick  here , but I don't want to overwrite binaries from repository packages, since it's not a sane way, and it can (and will) be broken by hostapd update. So I prepared a package, here's source package (just unpack it and build with makepkg directly on rpi), and here's binary package for armv6h (you can install it with pacman -U). I can't put PKGBUILD in AUR, since there's no stable hosting for Realtek's hostapd. If anyone is willing to host...

Migration to xubuntu

Recently I moved from kde to xfce on my laptop, but as xfce doesn't look pretty in gentoo (actually, it looks awful), I decided to move to xubuntu :) System is pretty fast now (much faster than it was in kde). Here's gtk analogs of kde apps I was used to: claws-mail (instead of kmail) exaile (instead of amarok) tilda (instead of yakuake) I've created ppa with some custom packages: tilda with changed shortcuts for switching tabs, default ctrl+pgup/ctrl+pgdn are used in mc and vim, so I changed them to shift+arrow, however it would be better to add option in gui for changing these shortcuts swt-gtk-3.5.2, it's required to fix rendering issues in tuxguitar Btw, there's arm toolchain in ubuntu repository :) xubuntu rocks!

One step closer...

One more annoying issue was fixed tonight :) No more LCD flickering after resume! :) Problem was in timer1. rx1950 uses it somehow for clocking LCD (Don't know how :)). After booting from windows, linux reuse windows' timer settings, but these settings were lost after suspend/resume. Solution is simple: reconfigure timer1 in rx1950_lcd_power (some bits of TCON, TCFG0, TCFG1, regs TCNTB1, TCMPB1). Patch will be available as soon as embedded.net.ru get up :) One more hint: To get rid of 270 degrees screen rotation add following lines at the exports section  of /etc/init.d/opie: export QWS_DISPLAY=LinuxFb:Transformed export QWS_SIZE=240x320
