Palm Pre style iPod spoofing
Maybe you've all heard about Palm's answer to the iPhone, the Palm Pre, is spoofing the iPod when connected through USB, so one can use iTunes to sync music with it. Could this be done with our Neo's? I don't suppose it should be that hard, something like switching between usb networking and usb mass storage. Could be usefull, since there is already a lot of music syncing software out there, be it iTunes or not... -- I used to think that the only music was love music.

U-boot docs mention only a few network chipsets on which it supports netbooting. Usb is only supported for keyboards, floppies or serial consoles. So unless someone writes a usb/bluetooth/wireless driver for uboot, I don't think netbooting can be done. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Booting with rootfs on nfs != netbooting. Netbooting gets a kernel from a tftpserver, while rootfs on nfs requires a kernel already loaded. The problem here is that it's uncertain whether uboot can handle the usb network interface (or wireless or bluetooth). -- "There are more love songs than anything else.

The problem is exactly as your (Firefox 3?) browser says: the certificate isn't trusted. Which means openmoko didn't pay a 'trusted' third party to get their certificate signed.

Freerunner GPS not working
Hi, I'm unable to get a GPS fix on my Freerunner, S/N 8A8602882. I'm using a "Linux om-gta02 2.6.24 #1 PREEMPT Wed Jul 30 11:56:48 CEST 2008" kernel with the stock 2007.2 that came with the Freerunner. After trying agpsui as descibed in the wiki for about an hour - without any satellites seen and trying the instructions given in http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/support/2008-July/000899.html I still don't get squad. Of course, tangogps and the lot don't work either. For those who understand NMEA, I'm seeing the following sequence in a apparently endless loop: $GPRMC,,V,,N*53 $GPVTG,N*30 $GPGGA,,0,00,99.99,,*48 $GPGSA,A,1,99.99,99.99,99.99*30 $GPGSV,1,1,00*79 $GPGLL,,V,N*64 $GPZDA,00,00*48 For as far I can see, the internal antenna connector is seated well.
