Hi,

One question: Do you only consider upgrades of existing Freerunners or
would a complete phone also be an option? My (probably naive) impression
is that you're only missing the case plastics to provide a complete GTA4
phone.

We not only plan these upgrade boards but also complete phones as a long term
goal. Maybe, even in a different and improved industrial design. And in some
years with a OMAP4 :)

Our team is currently evaluating options (3D printers, rapid prototyping, 3D 
cutting,
protomold, etc.) and trying to build prototypes, but did not yet come to 
conclusions.
So please give us some more time.

 is that you're only missing the case plastics to provide a complete GTA4
 phone.

Well, it is only adding some minor components to the kit (antenna, battery, 
USB-charger,
vibramotor, earpiece, speakers) plus a set of plastic parts.

But plastics is quite a heavy challenge if you really want to do it without big
venture capital. Even larger than getting the PCBs shown in the photos...

The problem appears to be that the inexpensive rapid prototyping methods don't
have the required precision (0.1 mm, 0.5 mm wall thickness, etc.) and those 
with high
quality are prohibitively expensive.

Unless you, i.e. the community, is willing to do fixed pre-orders for a total 
of at least
1000 units.

The idea of having the community design different cases for the Neo 1973 and
Freerunner is quite old [1], but I think there was only one group to show up 
with
a case extension [2]. This can be printed e.g. at Shapeways but is not stiff 
and
precise enough for daily use.

Yes, but *very* limited quantities...

And no chance to produce more. I did discuss with Sean how we could get
access to the original tools for community use, but there are financial,
legal, bureaucratic and many other issues. So we decided not to put too much
effort into that aproach.

We know the suppliers and part numbers of all these things

Hi, David.

Sure, it works ok here. Basically, u-boot's job on nand is only load
kernel from fsless partition, transfer boot params to it, and execute
kernel, so it is completely indefferent to kind of fs you have. glamo
timings has no relation to NAND at all too.

Recheck your env params and you downloaded everything in right way

qmoko v28 with jitterless kernel

2010-10-21 Thread Radek Polak
Hi,
i have rebuilt kernel for qtmoko v28 with patch that eliminates touchscreen 
jitter from Gennady. You can download from uImage-v28.1.bin from here [1].

If you run from NAND you can reflash, if you run from uSD you can replace old 
one in /boot.

Please note that i have changed the version only in file, so that you can use 
modules from old kernel.

Regards

The electronics don't need much precision in the case design. Cases that clip 
together firmly and securely do need precision though, and that's true of the 
current design. An alternative design needing less precision is possible, 
especially if we accept things being screwed together.
