Hi,
I am running the kernel from yesterday
(uImage-2.6.24+git20080424-om-gta02.bin). Is the fix included in it or do I
have to do anything else to get the software fix?

If this has not already happened, the getting started and GPS pages on
the wiki should be updated to reflect this.

Great post. Maybe you can put it on the wiki somewhere, so it's

I think the Freerunner has enough RAM to actually make that possible
(ringtones and etc. may be stored in tmpfs) :)
Maybe when just running the GPS application and there's no fix some of the
important data from the SD can be put in the RAM (just in case a call comes

Hi people,

With the help of AGPS you can shorten it probably to 15 seconds.
I have heard this for about thousand times now. NO! Never got those
values. TTFF with AGPS is about 38 secs without AGPS about 48 secs

I changed the part that says you can't read from SD when GPS is being
turned on. The patch doesn't work that way. Instead, it turns off the
SD clock when the SD card isn't being accessed, right?

Maybe when just running the GPS application and there's no fix some of the

or any other things like maps etc.) then when the fix is there the RAM can
drop some of the unneeded stuff :)

- The Openmoko Freerunner have a long TTFF with the SD card in the

More specific: the GPS signal level drops by -20dBm, i.e. factor 100.

does the lower signal also effect accuracy?

It is a good deal more jittery. However, if you drive around in a city
you will get a lot more error from signal reflections than from the
jitter. IMHO nothing to worry about.
