Hi Michael, I have tried the FreeCAD software to have a review to the CAD files. It was reported in the openmoko list that it will be usable. But I tried to compile the code. I have posted on their list a question to get compiled the code on Debian PPC. Here it would be interesting, if the schematics get converted, it also would be interesting to get anyhow the CAD files converted to be used with the KICAD 3D application. I hope there is more in the igs than only the housing drawings. I mean it would be good if the part's on the board used are in 3D available too. Lothar >
