Have you seen the battery life on the new Macbook Air systems? That's well in the range of what a Pandora can provide (yes I know the form factor is completely different, but still Intel has been catching up in terms of power consumption a lot, even with their mainline CPUs).

An organizer / calendar application that synchronizes with some CalDAV server is something I've been missing on the Pandora from day one. Unfortunately the problem doesn't start with the Pandora itself - I haven't found a suitable application for Linux at all (porting Evolution or similar...

Well, it's not hardware accelerated on the Pi either (at least I don't have a codec license).

This puzzles me somewhat - just yesterday I threw one of the XBMC distibutions onto a Raspberry Pi, and it played 720p h264 just fine on my TV. It was struggling with an 720p hi10 encode, but even that almost worked.

I'm quite fond of the current mapping of functions to game controls. Given what we have, the only change I'd propose would be to swap ALT and Pandora buttons. ALT is just somewhat too much out of the way when thumb typing...

Or find . -type d

No useful conclusions here. I did a couple of test runs with different firmware versions and various work loads, but there's not really anything that sticks out as a particular problem. During continuous transmission, the current firmware sometimes manages to stall traffic for several seconds...

Was not really in a mood to do something useful tonight - so went hunting wl1251 firmware files. I actually found just four versions: 6.0.4.235 (Pandora) 6.0.4.40 (OpenMoko) 4.0.4.3.7 (MeeGo) 4.0.4.3.5 (G1) Of those, the MeeGo version seemed to work best (relatively spoken) - iperf test...

iperf for the Pandora is here: http://web.gxis.de/temp/filepile/iperf.pandora - you'll have to trust me it's not a keylogging trojan that deletes all your Super Geometry Dust scores... Just drop somewhere, open a Terminal, go to download directory, mv iperf.pandora iperf ; chmod a+rx iperf ...

And yay, I fully borked that one: All the checksum errors in my capture file from the Pandora are on *sent* packets - so it seems the driver actually does tcp checksum offloading? Another failed attempt at nailing down the problem to add to the list...

One cause of this is when thread titles change - links aren't updated in the stalker, and the results seem somewhat random.

Don't know if it's in Angstrom, but I can upload an iperf binary when I'm back home tonight. The Wireshark package from the repo can be used to trace and analyze traffic, and it also contains a tshark binary to capture traffic from the command line - but that probably needs some basic tcp/ip...

Ok, traced an iperf run with tcpdump on both sides - a cursory look at the data suggests that there is some corruption going on while receiving data on the Pandora - I see lots of packets with a wrong tcp checksum and some packet loss - and consequently retransmits, which slow down tcp...

So I quickly built iperf on the Pandora and ran it as server with a client on a Windows box for 10 minutes (both on the same WLAN), getting this: > iperf -c 192.168.0.108 -p 10000 -t 600 -P 4 [ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth [  4]  0.0-601.0 sec  32.0 MBytes   447 Kbits/sec [  5] ...

I don't think so - I've successfully used my Pandora's Wifi on the last Chaos Communication Congress in a room with 2000 people (probably at least a third of them with some active wireless gadget) and maybe a dozen managed access points in range. Also had no problem downloading the new...

Fun Linux fact of the day: You don't need ldd - just use the overintelligent ld.so: /lib/ld-linux.so.3 --list libflashplayer.so [edit] it's actually ld-linux.so.3 on the pandora, not .2

I can't help the guy from the original post, but I have to say I'm happy with my Pandora every time I use it. Just been sitting here for an hour and a half browsing web sites with Firefox in fullscreen mode (F11), checking up on recent threads on the forums, and going through unread links from...

Could be worth a try collecting a few samples from "good" Pandoras - at least to compare if they have something in common. Is it possible that the soldering process tips over a couple of random bits in EEPROM (chip getting too warm maybe)?

Also note that ubifs does transparent compression, so both used and free space on ubi0:rootfs need to be taken with a grain of salt - although I think free space assumes no compression. But just try copying your system to an sdcard to see how much is actually stored on there...

You can call the time dialog from the first setup wizard via Pandora menu -> Settings -> Date and Time. Otherwise, if you have a network connection, just open a Terminal and run:  sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org [edit] Note that ntpdate needs a correct timezone to be set via Date and Time...
