greetings and a question
Hello all, I am new to the OpenMoko world, but I would love to help out. My primary experience is with Python, but I have soem experience with C, and almost none with C++.My first question, but not last ;-), is, is it possible to have the Neo1973 connect via Peer-to-peer wireless networking to another computer/phone? Is there a drive yet for it? _ Discover the new Windows Vista http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=windows+vista&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Re: greetings and a question
What I meant is, in the consumer version, will this be possible? And I meant "driver", not drive. I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough in my first question.

Even the development version has Bluetooth, which _can_ be used for wireless networking between Neos and/or computers. The range is smaller than with WiFi, as is the bandwidth, but at least the latter is likely to be quite enough for most uses. The mass-market Neo's AR6K will add ad-hoc wifi capabilities, adding bandwidth and range at the cost of more power. Both will of course require connection setup control software, but that shouldn't be too much of a burden. -- Mikko Rauhala - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.iki.fi/mjr/> Transhumanist - WTA member - http://www.transhumanism.org/> Singularitarian - SIAI supporter - http://www.singinst.org/> ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Got my phone! + A comment and a Question
I got my phone, and I'm a happy guy! I learned one thing that might save someone else some time. I initially tried to do the dfu-util downloads of the kernel and rootfs from linux running via VMWare on a Windoze host. Although dfu-util definately could talk to the neo, it could not successfully download the images. Once I switched to a native linux box (running exactly the same OS version) I had no problems. Something that worries me is that at the end of the "Getting Started with your Neo1973" page in the wiki, it suggests backing up the original flash contents, because "... there are parts in the root filesystem that can't be distributed over internet so they are only found in the shipped ROM (see the GPS driver)." Now these first neos have been shipped with no rootfs at all (see wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SH1). So we *have* to overwrite the rootfs before the device will boot. What does that mean vis a vis the parts of the filesystem which can't be distributed over the internet?How do we get those parts?

What > does that mean vis a vis the parts of the filesystem which can't be > distributed over the internet?How do we get those parts? the information about 'there are parts in the root filesystem...' were wrong. I didn't check the revision history who put them there, but those are not applicable to SH1. so since there is no rootfs, no need to backup the garbage (or rather: tons of zeroes) in there. -- - Harald Welte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://openmoko.org/ Software for the world's first truly open Free Software mobile phone ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Experiences from a new user/owner and a question.
Hey, I received my OpenMoko freerunner this monday and I played around with it the whole week and this is my experience with it. I didn't like the software that came with it (I guess that is 2007.2), I just didn't like the look and feel of it. So I installed ASU on it and that felt better, but it isn't quit stable. So I installed 2008.8 from the build host, these feel more stable, but can't seem to find the installer on it ??? So, now I'm running Qtopia on it which just feels much more mature and stable and makes the phone usable as a 'phone'. Now, what is the best thing to do? I guess I would like to keep using qtopia as long as 2008.8 isn't ready for every day use. But now my question is: is which version should I install on the sd card? The official 2008.8 release and try to update that or install the version from the build host? Also updates don't seem to work (I have usb networking and added a nameserver to resolve.conf). And now I just want to say that is a really nice a good looking solid feeling machine and I like playing with it :-) Regards, Dimitri ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
