New to OFONO

Hi,

 

I am new to OFONO, but I have 11 years of experience in smartphone telephony
development.  I have worked on both UMTS and CDMA product designs for
different mobile operators, handset manufacturers, chipset vendors and o/s
vendors.  I know the challenges of designing a telephony subsystem that will
support different chipsets, messaging protocols and operator
networks/requirements.  I am interested in getting more documentation on
OFONO, including the APIs for DBUS, Modem Plug-In and Utility.  I'd also
like to know what functionality gaps exists in either UMTS or CDMA so that I
could concentrate on some of those areas for my code contributions.

 

Thanks,

Welcome!

The documentation for oFono can be found in the git tree itself under
the doc/ directory.

doc/ofono-paper.txt gives a brief introduction and our design goals and
design philosophy.

doc/coding-style.txt is self explanatory.

doc/*-api.txt is the API documentation for all oFono interfaces.

Other information (somewhat out of date) can be found in the various
oFono presentations on the ofono.org website.

The rest can be obtained by reading the source code, or on the #ofono
IRC channel on freenode.

The gaps for GSM/UMTS are fairly well documented in the TODO file, also
found in git.  The methodology is quite simple, if you are interested in
working on a task, send a patch with the Owner: field set.  This lets
others know that someone is looking into a particular feature and not to
interfere.

If you notice anything missing in the TODO, simply send a patch to the
mailing list.

You will notice that there are no CDMA related tasks in the TODO yet.
CDMA aspects are currently in very early planning stages.  The core team
is still heavily focused on GSM/UMTS.

Regards,
-Denis

have a look at the doc directory in the ofono.git source repository. You
will fine a lot of interesting reads there.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=network/ofono/ofono.git

The top-level TODO file gives you an overview on the current and future
work items.

Regards

Marcel
