Depends on what you mean. "Openmoko" is a distro, company and a piece of hardware. I only consider the "hardware" here since I do not use the openmoko distro but debian on my phone. The GSM stack runs an a separate ARM processor using a proprietary operating system ("Nucleus PLUS" real-time operating system based on strings from the firmware image). It was not field-upgradeable until late 2008 when openmoko inc. published a port of the firmware upgrade utility fluid.exe (it's binary-only) so that a bug could be fixed. The wlan, gps and bluetooth chips also run some proprietary code but I do not know if they are field-upgradeable. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
