Meego on OMAP 3530EVM Mistral board 


Following are the steps to bringup Meego on Omap 3530EVM Mistral board : -

Assumption :

- Boot loader is u-boot.
- Tool chain used for building kernel is compatible with the root file system of meego package for ARMV7.



1.  Download u-boot if not present on target device from below URL :

http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbusplashcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&contentId=4750#omap3530

2. Download linux kernel from below URL :
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git


3. Download the OMAP EVM kernel patch from below URL :

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/85197/

4. Download the SGX\GLES SDK (OMAP35x_Graphics_SDK_setuplinux_3_01_00_07.bin) from below URL :

http://softwaredl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/sdo_sb/targetcontent/gfxsdk/latest/index_FDS.html

5. create_sgx_package.sh needs to be  downloaded from below URL

(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~beagleboard-kernel/%2Bjunk/2.6-stable/annotate/head:/create_sgx_package.sh)

Run create_sgx_package.sh while keeping the script and the OMAP35x_Graphics_SDK_setuplinux_3_01_00_07.bin in the same directory.
One of the resulting files is named GFX_3_01_00_07_libs.tar.gz. which needs to be extracted in the Meego rootfs.

6. Meego rootfs

http://wiki.meego.com/File:Handset-armv7l-beagle.ks#file


7. Make sure the previously generated GFX_3_01_00_07_libs.tar.gz is also in the current directory as the kickstart file while you build the image using mic-image-creator.

8. Flash the kernel to nand flash.

9. Two partitions for SD card - Root file system, SWAP.

10. Set the appropriate boot args for bringing up Meego UX from SD Card.

Getting and Setting Microphone Gain or Microphone Boost on Windows 7 / 8 Programmatically

After hours of searching the net I have finally figured out a way to programmatically get and set the microphone gain (boost) value. The code mentioned below can be built on VS and does the job of setting gain value. #include "stdafx.h" #include <mmdeviceapi.h> #include <endpointvolume.h> #include <Functiondiscoverykeys_devpkey.h> #include "Audioclient.h" #include "comutil.h" #define EXIT_ON_ERROR(hres)   if (FAILED(hres)) { goto Exit; } #define SAFE_RELEASE(punk)   if ((punk) != NULL)  { (punk)->Release(); (punk) = NULL; } HRESULT getMicrophoneBoostVolumeLevel(IMMDevice *pEndptDev, IAudioVolumeLevel** ppVolumeLevel) { HRESULT hr = S_OK; DataFlow flow; IDeviceTopology *pDeviceTopology = NULL; IConnector *pConnFrom = NULL; IConnector *pConnTo = NULL; IPart *pPartPrev = NULL; IPart *pPartNext = NULL; *ppVolumeLevel = NULL; wchar_t microphoneBoostName[] = L"Microphone Boost";//if your system ...

Simple example of strong and weak pointers on Android using RefBase class

Here is a simple example explaining the usage of strong and weak pointers using android's RefBase class and the Android.mk to compile the same. Its a modified version of code written by Daniel in the following link. http://himmele.blogspot.com/2012/03/androids-c-reference-counting.html strong_pointer.cpp file:  #include <stdio.h> #include "utils/RefBase.h" namespace android {  class RefTest : public RefBase { public:     RefTest(int32_t id) : mID(id) {         printf("RefTest ctor: %d\n", mID);     }     virtual ~RefTest() {         printf("RefTest dtor: %d\n", mID);     }     int32_t id() const {         return mID;     } private:     int32_t mID; }; int strong_pointer() {     sp<RefTest> ref1 = new RefTest(1);     sp<RefTest> ref5;   ...

MPEG2,4 AAC Decoder

I have modified latm aac decoder based on open source python decoder written by Arkq. https://gist.github.com/Arkq/66fe948c1051684d8909d730c34396d8 This decoder will decode AAC audio(IOS devices) captured with FTS HCI A2DP dump and save it in a playable audio WAV format. Using the tool :  1. Install latest python version > 3 on either windows or linux. 2. Download ffmpeg binaries from following link https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ 3. Extract the ffmpeg binaries and add the extracted bin folder to system path, for linux it can be done by exporting PATH variable and for windows it can be done by changing environment path variable. 4. Install pydub using following command pip install pydub 5. To decode the latm mpeg2,4 aac audio run following command with the attached python script.       latm_aac_decoder.py <extracted latm mpeg2,4 aac audio> eg :  latm_aac_decoder.py Bookmarked_snoop(A2DP)(1).mpeg2...
