Slides of my talk at FOSDEM 2010
I still don’t know how to submit my slides into the FOSDEM website, so I’m linking them here by now:
-
gstjpegparser
Back in August 2009 I was chatting with my old peers in Mexico, and they told me that they needed a JPEG parser element in GStreamer for their DSP accelerated JPEG decoder. So, I went to bugzilla and found a bug report about the issue and a proposed patch. But the published patch still missed some features so I took it and worked on it.

Ping DSP task node
DSP task nodes, under the TI Omap3 domain, are a separate execution threads running on the DSP that implement control or signal processing algorithms.

Minimal CD Ripper
Back in London I bought a couple CDs. Obviously I don’t use CD players anymore, I mostly stream all the music I hear (jamendo, spotify, last.fm). Though, if I want to hear music using my n900 without any network connection, I ought drop in there the music files. So, the solution is rip out the music from the CDs, encode them et voilà.

Moving out apt metadata
As some of you may know, in the N900, the root file system is stored in a OneNAND chip with 256M of space. Meanwhile
/homeand/home/user/MyDocsare in a eMMC in two different partitions: ~2GB (ext2) for/homeand ~29GB (vfat) for/home/user/MyDocs.
