As you will see, I have a lot more to fill in, but I would welcome
your feedback on what is already there, and suggestions for topics you
think should be included.
Chapter 4 describes installation of the SIM card, MicroSD card and the
battery as if they were one task, while in fact it's three different
ones. It's probably necessary to remove the battery to access the card
holders; if so, it should be mentioned.
Good point. I was assuming an out-of-the-box install, but it wouldn't
hurt to make that explicit.
Each of the SIM card and MicroSD
card can be replaced without disturbing the other one, can't they?
Nope, it's a LIFO stack. From the top it's battery, SIM, Micro SD.
Gotta take it all out to get at the Micro SD.
However, these clarifications and breaking down into three tasks is
probably not worth the hassle, as the developers are going to figure it
out anyway, and I hardly remember myself ever using a manual to replace
the SIM card in any phone.
That's because most phones don't have such complicated SIM card holders.
Actually, here's my theory:
Anyone who has NEVER had a GTA01 will figure out the SIM card holder.
Anyone who has had a GTA01 will take awhile to get used to the fact that
the card holder locks and unlocks in the opposite direction compared
to GTA01.
The text mentins "provided" accessories several times. However, the next
deliveries after the some number of the first ones may not include them.
Yeah, I'll have to update this once we decide what's in and what's not.
Chapter 7 should describe how to find out the current image versions and
how to use dfu_util (or where to read about it). It should also tell
what happens to the user data when the root filesystem is updated.
Yikes! That's a very important point. Thanks!
Chapter 8 should describe how to build the toolchain yourself (how is
the prebuilt one made?) in case you're not exactly on Intel/Linux.
True, but I'm trying to keep it simple. Once I document everything else,
perhaps I'll come back and tackle this.
Putting stuff in /usr/local/openmoko is against FHS. If the package
insists on installing everything in one directory, it should be
/opt/openmoko. But this isn't a problem of this guide.
Agreeed, and will probably change.
Chapter 8 mentions downloading the package to /tmp (where you might not
have write access because it's not mentioned in the prerequisites)
The beauty of /tmp is that everyone is guaranteed to have write access.
As I understand it, that's why it was created.
and
later unpacking them as if they were in ~/sources.
That's a bug and I will fix it right away.
Again, thanks for your excellent feedback
Michael
