Initial setup

Update firmware

http://europe.nokia.com/A4678158

Make sure you're on OS2008 v 4.2008.36-5. You can check in Settings -> Control Panel -> About product.

If you're on OS2008 v 4.2008.23-14, you should be able to update to the latest. However, I haven't done this so I can't vouch for it. Also, if the latest is past 4.2008.36-5, you might be updating to an OS version that the others aren't on yet. Best to just flash 4.2008.36-5.

Otherwise, you'll need to flash the firmware. http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#Flashing_on_Mac_OS_X

Firmware images: N800: http://people.mozilla.com/~asasaki/maemo/n800-RX-34_DIABLO_4.2008.36-5_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
N810: http://people.mozilla.com/~asasaki/maemo/n810-RX-44_DIABLO_4.2008.36-5_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin

If you're using 770Flasher.app, open it, and choose the appropriate image. Make sure the device is attached but completely turned off and unplugged. Then I find it easiest to attach the device via USB, then hold down the Home button while plugging it in. Hold the Home button until the flashing is completely done... I think I let go once and it was interrupted. If this happens, just start over.

The Home button is on the front, bottom left on N800's. Top, left on N810's.

Reset device

If you have a device with the correct firmware but is in an unknown state, you can reset the device.

To reset the device (back out system settings, but not user created data), you can Settings -> Control Panel -> (menu) -> Tools -> Restore original settings. You'll have to enter the lock code. The default is 12345. The device will reboot.

To clear user-created data (remove user created data, but leave apps etc. alone), you can Settings -> Control Panel -> (menu) -> Tools -> Clear device. You'll have to enter the lock code. The default is 12345. The device will reboot.

Set up initial user preferences

Device language: English (USA) Date Hostname (n810-talos02)

Cancel phone setup.

Go to Settings -> Control Panel.

Date and time

Select home city to set the timezone (Los Angeles for Mountain View).

Display

Display stays lit: while charging.

Memory

If you have an internal memory card, you will want to go to the Virtual tab and enable virtual memory (128mb).

Connectivity

When you first open the browser, you need to connect to Mozilla Guest. Alternately, you can click on the wifi icon in the top right and Select connection. Save this connection.

Next, disconnect. Then in the Connectivity control panel, click Connections, then select Mozilla Guest, and click Edit. Hit "Next" twice, then find the "Advanced" button and click that. Under the "Other" tab, turn Power saving to "off".

Then reconnect to Mozilla Guest.

Sounds

Turn system sounds off so you don't drive people crazy when these things reboot all the time.

Install software

ssh

From the tablet, open the browser, go to http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/openssh/ and click the install icon. To minimize typing you can just google for "maemo ssh".

It'll ask you if you want to enable the Extras software repo; say yes. Also, you need to enter the root password at this point.

Also, for future command line usage, note that the default /bin/sh is ash, not bash, so certain things like history or !! will not work properly. vi has a lack of multi-line editing and undo. However, this is still preferable to not having shell access.

homeip

Settings -> Application manager -> Browse installable applications -> Accessories -> homeip -> Install.

Then, close Application Manager. Click the menu icon next to "Home" at the top left. Choose "Select applets" and unselect everything but HomeIP.

Drag the IP anywhere you want on the screen.

moredimmingoptions

I didn't like how the display keeps shutting off on the N810s... it has a different idea of what "charging" is than the N800, so it'll shut off the display even when it's plugged in.

I installed http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/moredimmingoptions/ and increased the timeouts. I find 60min + 480min work fairly well.

Also see http://maemo.org/community/maemo-developers/can-t_force_display_light_to_stay_on_forever/ if this becomes an issue.

acknowledge update notification icon

Strangely enough, the little blinky orange notification icon causes noticeable drag on certain performance tests. You can disable it by clicking on it and choosing to "Install...". However, instead of installing the updates, close out of Application Manager once it loads.

Afterwards, to disable auto-update checking,

mv /etc/cron.daily/apt /root/apt.cron

nginx

Open the browser, go to http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2007/nginx/ and click the install icon.

Apache is also available, but it comes with a significantly larger footprint.

Once nginx is installed, edit /etc/nginx/nginx.conf and change the default_type to text/plain to fix bug 432765.

fix apt-get

Now ssh into the box as root.

echo "deb http://p.quinput.eu/debfarm chinook user" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get -f install

Note, if you get "Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?", then you probably need to close Application Manager.

file transfer utilities

apt-get install rsync wget bzip2 gnutar

x11vnc

apt-get install x11vnc

Then

# Yes, the username is actually "user"
su user
x11vnc -storepasswd
# Enter your desired vnc password; save to /home/user/.vnc/passwd
exit

After installing vnc server and adding the user vnc password, it's desirable to have vnc start up automatically. I hacked the following /etc/init.d/x11vnc from /usr/bin/x11vnc.sh and /etc/init.d/ssh:

#!/bin/sh
# built from /usr/bin/x11vnc.sh and /etc/init.d/ssh
#

test -x /usr/bin/x11vnc || exit 0

export PATH="${PATH:+$PATH:}/usr/sbin:/sbin"

case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting VNC server: x11vnc"
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/x11vnc.pid -b -c user --exec /usr/bin/x11vnc -- -cursor arrow -usepw > /var/log/x11vnc.log 2>&1
        echo "."
        ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Stopping VNC server: x11vnc"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/x11vnc.pid
        echo "."
        ;;

  restart)
        echo -n "Restarting VNC server: x11vnc"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --retry 30 --pidfile /var/run/x11vnc.pid
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/x11vnc.pid -b -c user --exec /usr/bin/x11vnc -- -cursor arrow -usepw > /var/log/x11vnc.log 2>&1
        echo "."
        ;;

  *)
        echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/x11vnc {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
esac

exit 0

Then make it executable, add it to startup, and start it up:

chmod a+x /etc/init.d/x11vnc
update-rc.d x11vnc defaults 99
/etc/init.d/x11vnc start

Misc setup

Set hostname

Edit /etc/hostname.

hostname `cat /etc/hostname`

Clean up disk, part 1

On the N810s you're going to have an internal memory card (with swap) on /media/mmc2. There are Video and map subdirectories; nuke those.

Also nuke the MyDocs/ dir in /home/user.

Set up buildbot slave

Install twisted

First, append this to /root/.bashrc :

export PYTHONPATH="/media/mmc1/twisted/twisted-2.4.0/lib/python2.5/site-packages:/media/mmc1/twisted/twisted-core-2.4.0/lib/python2.5/site-packages:/media/mmc1/twisted/zope-interface-3.3.0/lib/python2.5/site-packages"

and get that in your local env:

. /root/.bashrc

Quick 'n' dirty

Copy /media/mmc1/twisted from another box. If possible,

ln -s /media/mmc1/twisted /tools

But the softlink may not work, and the softlinks inside twisted/ might be borked, which is why the PYTHONPATH above points to the actual directories in twisted/.

Full on ugly

If you can't do this, you need to cross-compile twisted on a linux box with scratchbox. Why? Basically because the python setup.py install requires more development tools than we want to put on these devices, even if they're all available.

The following instructions may be incomplete since I've only done it once, a few weeks ago, and it involved a lot of trial and error, so I'm not entirely sure which steps are necessary.

/scratchbox/moz_scratchbox
sb-conf select CHINOOK_X86

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list so it looks like:

One of those repositories below line 2 contains the magic python libraries you need to build twisted. Maybe uncomment them out and deal with the warning messages?

At this point you can

apt-get update
apt-get install python2.5*

The list of python debs you need includes python2.5-xml*

Once you do this successfully you'll be able to do the below without failing. You'll know if you didn't do this successfully if you aren't able to do the below without failing. Either that or I've documented poorly.

Install zope-interface like https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReferencePlatforms/Linux-CentOS-5.0#Installing_Zope_Interface , but

wget http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeInterface/3.3.0/zope.interface-3.3.0.tar.gz
tar xfvz zope.interface-3.3.0.tar.gz 
cd zope.interface-3.3.0
python2.5 setup.py install --prefix=/tools/zope-interface-3.3.0
pushd /tools
ln -s zope-interface-3.3.0 zope-interface
export PYTHONPATH="/tools/zope-interface/lib/python2.5/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH"
popd

Install twisted-core:

cd ..
wget http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/2.4/TwistedCore-2.4.0.tar.bz2
wget http://tmrc.mit.edu/mirror/twisted/Twisted/2.4/Twisted-2.4.0.tar.bz2
tar xfvj TwistedCore-2.4.0.tar.bz2 
tar xfvj Twisted-2.4.0.tar.bz2 
cd TwistedCore-2.4.0
python2.5 setup.py install --prefix=/tools/twisted-core-2.4.0
pushd /tools
ln -s twisted-core-2.4.0 twisted-core
export PYTHONPATH="/tools/twisted-core/lib/python2.5/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH"
popd
cd Twisted-2.4.0
python2.5 setup.py install --prefix=/tools/twisted-2.4.0
pushd /tools
ln -s twisted-2.4.0 twisted
export PYTHONPATH="/tools/twisted/lib/python2.5/site-packages/:$PYTHONPATH"
popd

At this point you can copy /tools over to the Nokia as /media/mmc1/twisted, and

ln -s /media/mmc1/twisted /tools

though that's not necessary with the above PYTHONPATH.

... Looking at my .bash_history it appears that I did all of the above in CHINOOK_X86, even though you'd think you'd want to do the python2.5 setup.py install steps in CHINOOK_ARMEL.

It works?

Install buildbot

First, copy over the buildbot source from another computer with CVS.

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -d buildbot-079 mozilla/tools/buildbot
scp -r buildbot-079 root@DEVICEIP:/media/mmc1/

Then, on the device, you need python2.5-dev:

apt-get install python2.5-dev

Then you're ready to install buildbot:

python setup.py install

Then nuke /media/mmc1/buildbot-079 if you don't have huge amounts of disk.

Set up the slave. For instance, I would

mkdir /media/mmc1/buildbot
cd /media/mmc1/buildbot
buildbot create-slave --umask=002 . 10.250.3.135:9989 n810-talos02 password

Then edit the buildbot.tac to verify, put your email in info/admin, and the hostname in info/host.

After installing buildbot, you may want to edit /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/buildbot/scripts/logwatcher.py, which uses a tail -F on the logfile... the Nokias don't support tail -F . Change this to tail -f

Now you can create an /etc/init.d/buildbot:

#!/bin/sh
# built from /usr/bin/x11vnc.sh and /etc/init.d/ssh
#

test -x /usr/bin/buildbot || exit 0

case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting buildbot in 120 seconds"
        /media/mmc1/buildbot/start.sh 120 | tee /media/mmc1/buildbot/start.out &
        ;;

  stop)
        echo -n "Stopping buildbot"
        cd /media/mmc1/buildbot
        buildbot stop .
        echo "."
        ;;

  restart)
        echo -n "Restarting buildbot"
        cd /media/mmc1/buildbot
        buildbot stop .
        buildbot start `pwd`
        echo "."
        ;;

  *)
        echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/buildbot {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
esac

exit 0

Then

chmod a+x /etc/init.d/buildbot
update-rc.d buildbot defaults 99

/media/mmc1/buildbot/start.sh looks like this:

#!/bin/sh -x

date

# Don't continue if buildbot is already running
if [ -f "/media/mmc1/buildbot/twistd.pid" ] ; then
        pid=`cat /media/mmc1/buildbot/twistd.pid`
        ps -ef | grep $pid | grep -q buildbot
        if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
                exit 0
        fi
fi

if [ $# -gt 0 ] ; then
    sleep $1
fi

export DISPLAY=:0.0
. /root/.bashrc # set PYTHONPATH

# Tweak env settings to be able to run fennec
unset CONSOLE
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/session_bus_socket
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/home/user/.osso/current-gtk-theme:/home/user/.osso/current-gtk-key-theme
export HOME=/root
export TMPDIR=/var/tmp
export USER=root

env

rm -f /var/log/nginx/access.log
rm -f /var/log/nginx/error.log

cd /media/mmc1/buildbot
rm -f twistd.log*
touch twistd.log
buildbot start `pwd`

The trick, for me, was sourcing the .bashrc so the PYTHONPATH is correctly set before trying to launch buildbot.

The reasoning behind this script, with the sleep 120, is that the Nokias don't auto-connect to wifi for about a minute after booting. Also, at and cron appear to be unavailable. This workaround appears to kick off buildbot nicely after boot; I can play with different sleep times if this becomes an issue later.

ssh keys

Fennec

For an initial test, you can grab the latest linux-arm tar.bz2 build from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mobile-browser-linux-arm/

cd /media/mmc1
wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mobile-browser-linux-arm/fennec-1.0a2pre.en-US.linux-arm.tar.bz2
tar xjvf fennec-1.0a2pre.en-US.linux-arm.tar.bz2
cd fennec
./fennec

You should see Fennec show up on the screen.

Talos setup

Install PyYAML

cd /media/mmc1
#wget http://pyyaml.org/download/pyyaml/PyYAML-3.05.tar.gz
wget http://people.mozilla.com/~asasaki/maemo/PyYAML-3.05.tar.gz
tar zxvf PyYAML-3.05.tar.gz
cd PyYAML-3.05
python setup.py install
cd ..
rm -rf PyYAML*

Install Talos

Copy talos from another machine with CVS installed:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -d talos mozilla/testing/performance/talos
scp -r talos root@DEVICEIP:/media/mmc1/

Then softlink page_load_test in /var/www:

cd /var/www
ln -s /media/mmc1/talos/page_load_test .

And test by hitting http://DEVICEIP/page_load_test/manifest.txt in your browser.

Then you need to grab the pageset from an existing talos machine, probably in ~mozqa/pages. Copy this to DEVICEIP:/media/mmc2/pages and softlink that to /media/mmc1/talos/page_load_test/pages

Run generate-tpcomponent.py

Again, on another machine with CVS installed:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co -d perfmasterscripts mozilla/tools/buildbot-configs/testing/talos/perfmaster/scripts
cd perfmasterscripts
python generate-tpcomponent.py
scp chrome components root@DEVICEIP:/media/mmc1/fennec/

Once we start grabbing new builds we'll need a place to grab the chrome/ and components/ files from.

run_tests.sh

You need to create a /media/mmc1/talos/run_tests.sh until Aki gets his master.cfg fixed:

#!/bin/sh -x

export DISPLAY=:0.0
LOGFILE="/media/mmc2/test.out"

free

yml=`ls -1t *.yml | head -1`

cat $yml

python run_tests.py --noisy --debug $yml 2>&1 | tee $LOGFILE

if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then
    exit $?
else
    grep -q "FAIL" $LOGFILE
    if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
        exit 1
    fi  
fi

edit sample.config

Edit sample.config to only have 1 pass of every test, and change firefox to fennec. Also browser_wait to 60.

Unittests

You can probably stop reading here.

Deprecated

swap

If you have an internal memory card, you can add 128MB swap via the Memory control panel, Virtual tab. Easy peasy. However, for additional swap, or if you only have an external card, you can also follow the more arcane steps outlined here:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/mmc2/.swap2 bs=1024 count=131072
mkswap /media/mmc2/.swap2

To use the swapfile,

swapon /media/mmc2/.swap2

and use the free command to see the added virtual memory. Turn off swap before ejecting the card:

swapoff /media/mmc2/.swap2

However, I wanted to use these at boot, so instead I added these to /etc/fstab:

/media/mmc2/.swap2   none    swap    sw      0       0

And added a swapon -a to the #rc.local script.

To make sure you can umount /media/mmc1 on reboot or shutdown, do the following:

sed -i '/umount/iswapoff -a 2>/dev/null' /etc/init.d/minireboot /etc/init.d/minishutdown

Media card

You really don't have enough disk on / to do much, so you need to make the memory card usable. By default it's formatted VFAT, which a) horks your permissions much like running cygwin on top of win32 (e.g. either all files are executable or all files are non-executable).

I'm going to try formatting ext2 so I can use softlinks and real unix permissions. ext3 might be costly with its journaling.

By default, the card is mounted so no file is executable. To fix this permanently, edit /usr/sbin/mmc-mount to remove the noexec, dmask, and fmask. So for VFAT:

#!/bin/sh
#mount -t vfat -o rw,noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133 "$1" "$2" > /dev/null
mount -t vfat -o rw,noauto,nodev,nosuid,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed "$1" "$2" > /dev/null

I think you just need to remove the fmask at the bare minimum, but this works.

Disabling rc scripts

To try to get a bit more performance out of the n8x0s, kill some of the unneeded daemons. You can either manually

/etc/init.d/multimediad stop
/etc/init.d/mediaplayer-daemon stop
/etc/init.d/tablet-browser-daemon stop

or add those lines to /etc/init.d/rc.local (see below), or just remove the links in /etc/rc*.d for those services. The latter will save you the most memory/swap.

Adding new rc scripts

Create the script in /etc/init.d
Then add it to the various run level dirs:

Nokia-N800-23-14:~# update-rc.d x11vnc defaults 99
 Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/x11vnc ...
   /etc/rc0.d/K99x11vnc -> ../init.d/x11vnc
   /etc/rc1.d/K99x11vnc -> ../init.d/x11vnc
   /etc/rc2.d/S99x11vnc -> ../init.d/x11vnc
   /etc/rc3.d/S99x11vnc -> ../init.d/x11vnc
   /etc/rc4.d/S99x11vnc -> ../init.d/x11vnc
   /etc/rc5.d/S99x11vnc -> ../init.d/x11vnc
   /etc/rc6.d/K99x11vnc -> ../init.d/x11vnc
Nokia-N800-23-14:~#

rc.local

So far this is only for swap and buildbot. After creating swapspace and putting it in /etc/fstab, I created a simple /etc/init.d/rc.local:

#!/bin/sh
swapon -a
/media/mmc1/buildbot/start.sh 120 | tee /media/mmc1/buildbot/start.out &

Then I added it as above. Note, the default NN (25, I think?) doesn't work; use 99.

update-rc.d rc.local defaults 99

/media/mmc1/buildbot/start.sh looks like this:

#!/bin/sh -x

date

if [ $# -gt 0 ] ; then
    sleep $1
fi

export DISPLAY=:0.0
. /root/.bashrc # set PYTHONPATH

# Tweak env settings to be able to run fennec
unset CONSOLE
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/session_bus_socket
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/home/user/.osso/current-gtk-theme:/home/user/.osso/current-gtk-key-theme
export HOME=/root
export TMPDIR=/var/tmp
export USER=root

env

cd /media/mmc1/buildbot
buildbot start `pwd`

The trick, for me, was sourcing the .bashrc so the PYTHONPATH is correctly set before trying to launch buildbot.

The reasoning behind this script, with the sleep 120, is that the Nokias don't auto-connect to wifi for about a minute after booting. Also, at and cron appear to be unavailable. This workaround appears to kick off buildbot nicely after boot; I can play with different sleep times if this becomes an issue later.

buildbot

Precompile twistd on a linux build box (scratchbox). This requires adding some python packages via apt-get. (aki: more documentation needed)
A make install for twistd still won't work on the Nokia, but you can copy over the final binaries resulting from a make install. I copy these over to /media/mmc1/twisted/ and softlink /tools to /media/mmc1.
Now you can grab the standard buildbot source from CVS and python setup.py install like normal.
After installing buildbot, you may want to edit /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/buildbot/scripts/logwatcher.py, which uses a tail -F on the logfile... the Nokias don't support tail -F. Change this to tail -f

Unit tests

Saving just in case, but not needed anymore.

WIFI networking

To disable PSM, go to Settings -> Control panel -> Connectivity, Advanced Settings -> Other tab, and turn Power Saving Mode OFF.

TODO: static IP?

USB networking

Currently going wifi only due to regular loss of connectivity through USB ethernet.

However, for posterity, dougt says in bug 463657:

regarding wired connections, for the n800/n810, i bought some OTG connectors
which allow you to plug a standard USB Ethernet adaptor into the side of the
device.  In order to set this up, you need to follow:

http://www.internettablettalk.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_USB_Host_mode_on_the_N800_using_OS_2008

Or you can just ask me to do it. 

Also, see some of the tips here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Build/Maemo_Running_Talos

nginx

Edit /etc/nginx/nginx.conf to change the default mime type to text/plain instead of application/octet-stream to fix bug 432765:

# text/html works too
default_type text/plain;

VNC

I used the following links to install vnc server:

So I ran into some issues doing this. First, you do have to softlink two libraries:

ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7

Then the .deb won't install since it's missing dependencies.

dpkg --force-depends -i x11vnc_0.9.3-1_armel.deb

Then the manual startup isn't great for large test farms, so set up the rc script: User:Asasaki:N800Setup#x11vnc

format media card ext2

WARNING this forced me to re-flash my device!

You have one or two media cards, and they're VFAT. This is causing a lot of headache in setting things up properly for testing. Let's format 'em ext2.

apt-get install e2fsprogs

This installs ext2 as a filesystem. If you can't find e2fsprogs, you probably didn't update the /etc/apt/sources.list above.

Make a note of the /dev/mmcblk* device name of the card you want to format in /etc/fstab.

umount /media/mmc2

If you have problems umounting /media/mmc2, you are probably cd'ed into that dir, or you have swap enabled. Turn that off and try again.

Now you're about to format the filesystem: make sure you don't have anything you want to keep there!

So if the partition that was mounted on /media/mmc2 was /dev/mmcblk0p1, then

/sbin/mkfs.ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p1

Next, edit /etc/fstab to change the entry for that mount:

/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc2 ext2 rw 0 0

Then edit the mount command in /usr/sbin/mmc-mount:

mount -t auto "$1" "$2" > /dev/null

Finally, mount the card:

mount /media/mmc2

Which should exit without errors. A df -h should show it mounted, and a ls /media/mmc2 should show a lost+found.

Now if you turned off swap to do this, go ahead and turn it back on ( #Memory)
