 Afaik the firmware in question won't meet the FSF free software
 definition or OSI open source definition since you don't have a
 license that lets you share and change it legally. If you want free
 software firmware that runs on gta02 you can take a look at osmocombb.

Isn't the situation the same with osmocombb as well?

Based on what is written here:
http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/LegalAspects#Usingmodifiedphonesoncarriernetworks
can osmocombb considered free software in FSF's or OSI's definition?
What is not clear for me is that can a software be FSF/OSI free but
illegal to use?

 Has anyone experience with the Zynq-7000? It has dual Cortex A9 with
 VFP/Neon - but apparently lacks a GPU... Such a combination could be
 comparable with OMAP3/4 in computation power.

Exactly, it has just a simple framebuffer. Even a basic 2D accelerator
would be a huge improvement to save the ARM CPU power.

I consider this GPU very useful for the Parallella board for example.

The GPU would stay in the Zynq-7020, so the Epiphany chip can do
other dedicated tasks (numerical calculus, simulations, whatever).

[QtMoko] MokoFaen theme questions

2012-01-10 Thread Balint SZENTE
Hello!


I'm using this very nice theme with Droid fonts on my GTA02 and QtMoko
v37. I would like to ask the following questions:

 1. The classical QtMoko theme showed me permanently the Location cell
 broadcast message in the top left corner of the home screen. These
 Faenza icon based themes does not show the location, even if I enable
 it. I tried to edit the relevant commented rect tag in the home.xml
 file, but without success. Can you give me some hints about this?

 2. I would like to see the year with 4 digits in the datetime widget on
 the home screen. How could I achieve this?

 3. The hours in the time widget on the home screen should be space or
 eventually 0 padded to force the colon on the center line when the
 hour has only a single digit. Is this doable form the theme XML files?

Thank you,
Balint
