ARM/N900/Features/CallAudio

Revision as of 10:54, 3 September 2010

This feature provides working call audio (incoming, outgoing), SMS sending on the Nokia N900.

The modifications are hosted in the OBS project devel:devices:n900:feature11_modem

All the packages in question are built for ARMv7 and X86 and can downloaded at http://download.meego.com/live/devel:/devices:/n900:/feature11_modem/testing/ . The packages are built against testing repository (download.meego.com/testing/)

Prjconf changes

Add:

Prefer: ofono-config-phonesim

Kickstart changes

For N900, add repository and in %packages:

# Feature modem
pulseaudio-meego-voice
pulseaudio-meego-cmtspeech
pulseaudio-meego-common
ofono-config-n900

In all other configurations using phonesim, add in %packages:

ofono-config-phonesim

Modified packages

= nokia-n900-configs

Package maintainer: Carsten Munk <carsten@maemo.org>

Patch diff location: https://build.meego.com/package/files?package=nokia-n900-configs&project=home%3Ajouni.peltonen

Package is N900 specific.

What is changed:

• Modem powerup d-bus script is started in system startup (rc.d)
  • RISK: Slower startup or stall if modem not answering (dbus timeouts would happen, I presume?)
  • POSSIBLE CHANGE: Backgrounding modem powerup script at startup
• ALSA mixer changes for N900 and pulseaudio configuration changes
  • RISK: Non-modem sound in general might not work (need QA)

udev-rules-nokia-n900

Package maintainer: Carsten Munk <carsten@maemo.org>

Patch diff location: https://build.meego.com/package/files?package=udev-rules-nokia-n900&project=home%3Ajouni.peltonen

Package is N900 specific

What is changed:

• Added new udev rule file, 10-cmt_speech.rules, with permissions 0777 (rwxrwxrwx). To allow user to talk to CMT speech interface in kernel.
  • RISK: Very wide permissions.
  • POSSIBLE CHANGE: Should be for meego user instead?

ofono

Package maintainer: Martin Xu <martin.xu@intel.com>

Package diff location: https://build.meego.com/package/files?package=ofono&project=devel%3Adevices%3An900%3Afeature11_modem

What is changed:

• Added N900 modem power on patch [http://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5662 BMC#5662)
  • UPSTREAM STATUS: in progress, changes to be made before integration. Current patch used not accepted by upstream.
  • RISK: Does not affect other components than including a new n900modem driver.
• /etc/ofono/modem.conf is seperated out into ofono-config-* packages. This is because there might be non-n900modem phonet0 configurations.
  • RISK: ofono-config-phonesim will be needed to be included on anywhere phonesim is used (Aava, etc). QA needed after this change.

Package is global.

pulseaudio

Package maintainer: Vivian Zhang <vivian.zhang@intel.com> ?

Package diff location: https://build.meego.com/package/files?package=pulseaudio&project=devel%3Adevices%3An900%3Afeature11_modem

What is changed:

• Added alsa 'old sink' patch. This is needed for the Nokia voice pulseaudio modules. This patch is a composite of patches, described in top of patch.
  • UPSTREAM STATUS: Uncertain and unclear if it would be suitable for upstream. Opinion of patch writers needed.
  • RISK: These patches touch core pulseaudio things and may affect other devices. QA on other devices needed to confirm they don't.

# Subject: [PATCH 037/115] core: Add infrastructure for delayed HW volume setting  
#   
# To make concurrent use of SW and HW volume glitchles their application  
# needs to be syncronized. For accurate syncronization the HW volume  
# needs to be applied in IO thread. This patch adds infrastructure to  
# delay the applying of HW volume to match with SW volume. For this patch  
# to have any effect it needs to be taken into use by sink implementor.

• Added flat sink patch
  • UPSTREAM STATUS: Uncertain, needs patch writer opinion.
  • RISK: This patch affects core pulseaudio and would need QA on other devices.
• Added call state tracker singleton object. This is used to monitor if a call is currently going on.
  • UPSTREAM STATUS: Uncertain, but may be MeeGo specific enough to not upstream
  • RISK: Does not affect core pulseaudio, just adds to API. Nokia pulseaudio voice modules need this.
• Added pulsecore headers. This adds pkgconfig(pulsecore) and exports src/pulsecore/*.h to modules.
  • This is needed for Nokia pulseaudio voice modules, possibly for getting closer into the pulseaudio core.
    • RISK: None, except for added ABI/API currently exported without headers.

Package is global.
