The development of ACPI sub-system continues,
it's time to change the development approach
(prevent degradation of code, change debug approach, etc)
Homepage of ACPI for eComStation
Please check your ticket in the tracker:
(visit the tracker periodically during 1-2 weeks)
Post the reply and attach the logs.
(register to access the tracker)
Some questions for users:
- Do you want to monitor temperature of CPU? The widget doesn't show
proper values.. then try to google, find something like (path in ACPI tree):
\\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.SIOR.HWT1
google -> model of your motherboard + temperature + SBRG or HWT + TEMP or TMP
- Do you feel problems with NVidia chipset in /SMP /APIC
and /!NOD switch? What are the problems?
- VPIC.SYS testing.
Join the testing if the computer works in PIC mode and doesn't in APIC
If you have a custom PCI device (DOS drivers only) then prepare
Null-modem cable.
If you have simple Core Duo and have troubles with APIC then contact us.
- Please confirm that Suspend/resume works on 1 CPU,
Videodriver should be: Panorama VESA
- Owners of Acer notebooks:
if Wifi adapter is not visible for the system then use PCIWRITE
- Users with AMD chipset, please try something like this:
/SMP /APIC /!NOD /SAP:0x10
- Do throttling and set of power state work for you?
Try W4 kernel if no success with SMP kernel.
- If the boot is slow , if boot stops at KBDBASE then
notify us what is the model of your PC. (SMP APIC mode)
- If PC hangs when you start ACPIDaemon then inform us.

eCo Software is going to participate in eComStation multimedia development,
Welcome to La-la-la site
ntim (Kosarev Timofey) have created some I/O procedures and players already:
- eCo Tunes -- eCo Tunes Internet radio (pipe-version supported by Central Remote Control)
- mmioCast IO Proc -- Internet radio integrated to WPS
- Monkey's audio -- compressed lossles audio format
eComStation PC is usually used as office computer, the sound in the
background keeps positive mood, doesn't influence on working atmosphere. The
sound support should be improved in eComStation, let's create more players,
codecs and audio applications.

The debugging of ACPI continues, it's necessary improve SMP APIC mode support (/SMP /APIC).
This is the nominal mode of work for all modern computers
(2 or more cores)
The ACPI tracker contains few bug-reports related to slow/failed
boot of eComStation in SMP APIC. It's difficult to find the causes
by 1-2 "patients", it's necessary examine 20 patients.
Use title for your ticket: SMP APIC, %model of notebook%
- Install ACPI 3.14,
- boot without /SMP, grab ACPI log
- boot /PIC /SMP, grab the log
- boot /APIC /SMP, if system hangs then try debug version of ACPI.PSD
make photo of screen with digital camera, what do you see on the screen?
How to post tickets to the bug-tracker
(use LOGS Collector package to collect all logs)
ACPI testing is safe. If you have bootable JFS and system doesn't boot
anymore - check the volume from installation CD1

eCo Software recommends to prolong eComStation Software Subscription.
Imagine that eComStation is released in 2-3 monthes, then your loss: 3/12 of
the subscription price. The subscription gives you the access to
eComStation 2.0 drivers and applications, eCS 2.0 release candidates.
Don't delay the purchase of the subscription.
Moreover, please support eComStation FAQ project.
Your memory can't keep all details in memory. You can use the book
as "handbook" and read it during the week-end :-)

Roderick Klein (Mensys) posted a message:
"After 5 attemtempts in total with first Macromedia and now Adobe I suceeded! Mensys has received permission from Adobe to distribute the Windows Flash with eCS.
Without going into legal details and patents. Using the Windows binary makes the best legal and financial sense.
But before people ask, where is a release ?
1. There is no timeline yet for any release, so for now. Its going to at least take something like I expect half a year before we can say more.
2. There are some technical problems. There is a "leaked" version of the Flash 7 plugin with the Innotek runtime. Innotek has not been able to release this source code to
the public in a timely fashion before they where taken over by SUN. So there will be code that needs to be rewritten. The ODIN project is a start for this.
This will be a complex effort!!
Just to clearly state this again! This is a first step but the legal block is gone now! The writing the code to run the Flash DLL is next big step!!!!
But a step taken to another project to keep eCS on track!"
