This page lists the various areas of the project that require some work, and who (if at all) is
3
working on fixing it.
4 1 laforge
5
== Infrastructure ==
6
7
=== Build System ===
8
 * we need a clean/known base as a compiler
9 4 laforge
  * At the moment, we're mostly using the 4.0.2 release from gnuarm.com, which is fairly old
10
 * independence of system-provided header files 
11
  * We should be mostly there now.  But testing this and verifying our independence of system headers would be great
12 1 laforge
13
=== Operating System ===
14 4 laforge
 * Decide which RTOS to use on the Calypso
15
  * we don't want to use FreeRTOS
16
  * OS should have clear abstraction of core (ARM7TDM), SoC and board level features
17
  * OS should cleanly compile to a library that we can link with all our other code
18
  * While we only work on the GSM stack, no OS is needed. But as soon as UI comes around, that changes.
19 1 laforge
20
=== Development Tools ===
21
 * try to make JTAG (C155) work with OpenOCD
22 7 steve-m
  * steve-m made some experiments, but halting the ARM core only seems to be possible via the undocumented ICEPick unit
23 1 laforge
24
== Host Software ==
25 6 steve-m
 * osmocon support for the native ROM loader in the Calypso, the [wiki:CalypsoRomloader], like it is found on most non-Compal phones
26
  * "non-secure" variant (done, steve-m)
27
  * "secure variant" on Calypso/Calypso plus (basic reverse engineering done)
28 1 laforge
29
== Target Software ==
30
31
=== Drivers ===
32
 * charger detection, battery charging (roh)
33
 * SIM card reader (dexter)
34 7 steve-m
 * Color display driver for C155 (done, steve-m)
35 1 laforge
 * backlight driver
36
 * vibrator driver
37 4 laforge
 * buzzer driver for C123
38
 * C155 ringtone chip driver for SPMA100 chip
39 1 laforge
 * Fix the I2C driver to use the b/w LCD without any sleep/delay loops
40 7 steve-m
  * done (sigwinch)
41 1 laforge
42
=== GSM Stuff ===
43
 * TRF6151, TPU, TSP, AGC, AFC (laforge)
44 2 laforge
 * Layer1, particularly the synchronous part (laforge, spaar)
45 4 laforge
 * Layer2 (zecke, laforge)
46
 * Layer3 (eversberg)
47
 * Playing with the Voice part using the dsp misc task (spaar?)
48 1 laforge
49 3 laforge
=== General Infrastructure ===
50 5 laforge
 * Flash-based log-structured filesystem (prom)
51 1 laforge
52
=== Bootloader ===
53
 * Put together a bootloader (prom)
54
 * Define linkage situations (prom)
55
56
=== UI related ===
57
 * proportional fonts in at least two sizes, as small as possible
58 4 laforge
  * monospaced fonts waste too much scarce screen real estate
59 3 laforge
 * cache the frame buffer in RAM and sync when needed
60 4 laforge
  * once we have a scheduler and tasks, run screen refresh as low-priority task
61 3 laforge
 * hardware independent API to support C123, C155 (and later other) displays
62 4 laforge
  * software should not care if it is using color or b/w display
63
 * some kind of fixed screen layout masks, where
64
  * a data structure defines a screen mask
65
  * the application can easily update the content without having to deal with formatting/positioning
66
 * UI widgets like
67
  * lists that can be scrolled through
68
  * menus build of a tree of such lists
