Known Issues for Maemo Eclipse Integration Edition 2 PreFinal release
More detailed known issues lists can be found from Garage projects for each product https://garage.maemo.org/.
Product baselines
- Fremantle devices are not officially supported as devices do not exist (publicly) yet but most unofficial Fremantle packages are already available from Fremantle extras-devel repository
Product configuration
- Maemo SDK ARMEL rootstrap is meant to be used only for cross-compiling and it does not support running or debugging applications
- Diablo 4.1.2 device requires kernel patch from here http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php to be flashed to the Tablet for USB Networking to work with Windows host PC
- Diablo 4.1.2 device requires hildon-desktop patch to be installed to the Tablet from pc-connectivity Garage repository (see instructions from here http://pc-connectivity.garage.maemo.org/beta1/installation.html) for VNC client to work on host PC
Maemo Mica plugin framework for Eclipse
- While debugging Python application automatic termination of debugged program does not work when debugging session ends
- Automatic installation of OProfiling support to the Maemo device may cause Eclipse to crash if Eclipse cannot find OProfile packages from configured repositories. Add repository
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ diablo/tools free
to the Maemo device and run "sudo apt-get update" manually as workaround.
Maemo ESBox plugin for Eclipse
- Some of the templates and examples provided by ESBox are not yet ported to Fremantle
- Installation wizard for SDK Virtual Image on Mac OS X may run into deadlock in situations when more than one dialog is open at the same time
- workaround is to use manual installation of SDK Virtual Image on Mac OS X
- Remote ltrace tool launching for Maemo device fails if SBRSH is used
- workaround is to use SSH and RSE instead of SBRSH
- Python interpreter is not switched when switching targets
- Configuring for C/C++ Indexing in Mac OS does not always work properly
Maemo Pluthon plugin for Eclipse
- <none>
Maemo PC Connectivity
- N900 device support with Fremantle is more limited on functionality point of view than N800/N810 device support with Diablo
- N900 will not support USB host mode
- N900 will not support IP Forwarding (iptable NAT kernel modules)
- workaround is to rebuild Fremantle kernel with NAT enabled and hack kernel symbols for NAT kernel modules
- N900 will not support BlueTooth connections simultaneously with WLAN connections
- N900 will not support USB connectivity switching between "PC Suite" and "Mass Storage" modes with platform default applet (applet provided by PC Connectivity works fine)
- workaround is to plug-out and plug-in USB cable between mode changes
- Fremantle platform does not have libicd-dummy package available until final release and thus user can not navigate to Internet through the browser using USB and BlueTooth. He/she will be able to navigate only using WLAN (standard behavior)
- final PC Connectivity release will have libicd-dummy package
- Samba does not work with Fremantle platform and N900 causing disk mounts between N900 and Windows host PC to fail
- will be (hopefully) fixed for final release
- Configuring connectivity to work between Maemo device and host PC after installation is still partly manual work on host PC side for all supported operating systems
- When creating a project and setting SBRSH as download method quite often errors like "sbrsh server: fuse: bad mount point " and "sbrsh server: Can't mount to point:" happens. As a workaround you need to restart SBRSHD (on Maemo device side) and restart ESBox (on host PC side)
Maemo SDK Virtual Image
- NetworkManager is being started after Scratchbox, so the resolv.conf file used by Scratchbox may be invalid which causes network problems
Maemo Flasher-3.5 Tool
- Flasher-3.5 beta for Windows tool may have problems in some Windows host PC configurations to flash eMMC images properly
- workaround is to use Linux or Mac Flasher-3.5 tool for eMMC flashing
- Flasher-3.5 beta for Windows tool fails to unpack FIASCO image with '-u' option
- workaround is to use Linux or Mac Flasher-3.5 tool for unpacking FIASCO images
Integration testing
- Some publically available test suites (for Eclipse components and NFS mounts, for example) are run on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X during integration testing but frameworks and test sets are not yet ready to be published
- Test results (for unit tests and integration tests) for official releases are not yet ready to be published together with products
