Revision as of 14:56, 12 June 2008

Nokia hardware and software components have lots of codenames and abbreviations, this page describes what we know about these names.

Contents

maemo

Starting from Bora the release names will be alphabetical, E and G have been excluded from this progression for various reasons (see Presentation by Quim Gil at LinuxTag 2007).

Sardine 
Like Debian Sid/Unstable, Sardine is an experimental distribution of the Hildon Application Framework for the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, primarily of interest to developers who wish to test "bleeding edge" features that are being developed for future releases of Maemo. As components from Sardine stabilize, they are moved into Herring. More information on the Sardine web page.
Herring 
Like Debian Testing, Herring is the stable branch of Sardine. Components are moved here to be prepared for release once they are feature complete. ## Device Codenames

Software

BME ("Battery Management Entity") 
Is proxied to D-Bus via the bme-dbus-proxy daemon
DSME ("Device State Management Entity") 
DSME mentions: [1] [2]
MCE ("Machine Control Entity")
Retu and Tahvo ("Fred and Barney") 
"Retu" and "Tahvo" are apparently the Finnish equivalent of Fred and Barney from The Flintstones cartoon ([3]/[4]). Various sources indicate _Retu_ is a custom ASIC chip that includes (at least) pseudo real-time clock control, GPIO/userspace interaction(?), power button control and a watchdog timer. The watchdog can be disabled by way of the `no-retu-wd` flag accessible from the [5]. _Tahvo_ is another ASIC(?) related to USB functionality. Retu mentions: [6] [7][8] [9] [10] [11] [12] Tahvo mentions: [13][14] [15] [16] [17]
wd ("watchdog") 
There are both hardware and software watchdogs / lifeguards that reboot the device in certain circumstances, e.g. excessive CPU usage; important process crashes; system lock up. (Feel free to expand/correct this vague and possibly inaccurate description. :-) )
OSSO 
"Open Source Software Operations". It's a department inside Nokia.
nolo - NOkia bootLOader 
the nolo appears to have a small built-in debug shell which reminds me that there's still no information about enabling serial console available
