I'm sorry to not explain the installation but simply forgot :) The file is the tar.gz archive of the root fie system, you can untar it on a SD partition to install and: 1) using u-boot copy the kernel in /boot/uImage-GTA02.bin in a vfat partition 2) using Qi select the SD card partition to boot Please see docs for the details especially for Qi as I don't use it and don't know how to configure it, sorry. If you want to install in your NAND you should boot another distro on SD, mount your NAND partition (mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblk6 /mnt/point) and then untar the file on the partition; kernel could be flashed as always. Jffs image will be provided soon but until then we will provide only tar.gz archives, sorry. > Having a choice is a good thing and if this will be "just a phone" it is > good enough for me. > Having a functionally phone is our key target ;) > I have always felt that 56 layers of abstraction before talking to the > hardware is a mixed blessing. > If you want to support different hardware i think it is a must, but if > you want to make bleeding edge software just for the FR it is an overkill. > Just my 2 cents. > I definitely agree, we have only a layer (written in pure C++) which abstracts FSO and oFono APIs to achieve multi middleware (and so multiplatform) support without the needs of rewriting the applications APIs > Kind regards, > Ed > Best regards, Dario. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
