Porting to Maemo

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I'm using the latest Chinook SDK from Nokia and there is Alsa support in 
it. I'm actually using the Nokia N810 and there is precompiled alsa 
libraries in it.
I'm currently using release 0.8 of PJSIP. The audio problem of maemo is 
that Alsa driver for maemo device is an alsa plugin which is very bad 
written and it doesn't support mmap'ing and PortAudio is using mmap'ing. 
That's why when you launch PJSIP there is no audio device found !
I have attached my current very draft driver.
To compile PJSIP for maemo just log in into scratchbox. Extract the 
attached file in a folder and do 'make'. It will download the necessary 
file and apply the patch and configure PJSIP for Maemo device.
There is a problem if you try to compile the Maemo sound driver for a 
standard host linux system. It will compile just fine but you will 
experiment some segfault due to error in some buffer part of my code. I 
warn it's a very drafty driver which I am currently developing for a 
project at my university. It should be improved in the following month. 
My goal is to use gstreamer instead of alsa but it is not very handy for 
this kind of operation.

Please report if it is working for your device (if it is different than 
810) :-)..

Thank you

Mathieu
