openmoko on the Nokia N810
This may be a stupid question but is it theoretically possible run openmoko on a Nokia Internet tablet? I don't know what processor the Nokia N810 uses. I do know that you can flash with images from maemo.org Rakshat ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Nokia n800 uses a ARM11 series processor ( OMAP2420 by texas intruments). So you need to build openmoko against the required processor. regards VK ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

If anyone gets openmoko to run on a nokia 770 tablet, please let me know, that would be so cool! Just to test OM and not having to use maemo all the time :) ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Battery time
* No terminal. Ugh. Do you really need a terminal app on a phone? Most phones do not have a term on them. besides, it is opensource, so anyone could get one working. Any takers? I guess most/all here are geeks. I have to admit that the first thing I want to know before buying a new smart phone is can I use a terminal/ssh on it. pocket putty was a blessing. But I hope much better things will come from this project. Maybe I will try to carve out some time in December... I'm guessing anyone into Linux is going to want this though :) -Pete ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Release date of GTA02
Hi to all, Does anyone know when the GTA02-Model will be released? Can it be ordered or preordered anywhere at the moment? Thanks. BR Thomas ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Release date of GTA02
No, it's not known yet when the GTA-02 will be available, but it looks like december/january. At least that's what the openmoko team is trying if I believe rightly? And no, it can't be preordered yet. Hope it will be available soon :) ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: OpenMoko phone comparisons
Anyone willing to placate my concerns, or point out other phones that meet my requirements (must fill _all_ the requirements I listed, so please check carefully). Since your asking on the openmoko list I'd be surprised if anyone recommends anything but the neo1973 As a final point, I'll note I'm a long (long) time embedded and ARM linux developer, so don't mind doing occasional work to improve either kernel or userspace stuff. Yes I can definatly recommend you buy a neo1973 Also, if you're following up, please don't uneccesarily quote signatures, taglines and bits you aren't responding to. O.K.

I want Linux, probably OpenMoko. It's a rather large phone, not exactly a fast device (it's a few years out of date now) and the final Neo device will be faster in numerous ways. Well, that's the one helpful thing you posted. But what are we talking? Either a subjective comparison or detailed technical comparison of processor, graphics and bus, memory speeds would be fine. Perhaps a Nokia N800 or N810 is what you need at this time? Or not, not having phone capabilities, which is another requirement you snipped (Skype notwithstanding). ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: FM radio reception on neo/openmoko and some other questions
Georg wrote: no only in terms of speakerphone, also the navigational software (as far as there'll be one) may be connected through it.. There are a lot of possible ways to use that extension and I personally think that it's a very useful additional feature . Speaking of navigation, this is interesting, Locosys makes something called Traffic Message Channel (TMC) using the Silicon Labs SI4701 FM tuner RDS feature to gather real-time traffic and weather information. They use an 8051 microcontroller to read the RDS data from SI4701 and convert it into NMEA sentence format, which is of course, also a format used by GPS receivers. So, if you have onboard GPS, and bolt-on FM tuner with RDS, and some processing, you could do something similar. The NMEA part presumably is just to make it somewhat standard, is useful data on its own, but this is quite interesting. http://www.locosystech.com/download/module/TMC-1513_datasheet_v1.1.pdf I'm going to design just a very simple breakout board for the SI4701 to start playing around with it, this RDS stuff is very interesting. Later will make another board with SI4701 and small microcontroller plus audio codec. Microcontroller will read the RDS and also control/configure the FM tuner. Analog audio output would work alone but could also input into Neo or other application. Currently in the middle of switching jobs and residence though, so it may be a short while before I get any boards made. -- Doug ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

No. Then you'd also do well to say nothing instead of throwing around more accusations.
