fso-gsm
I'm using my freerunner as an everyday phone again after it was freed by the freecalypso project's baseband firmware. I'm running qtmoko v58 and would like to try this with fso-gsm; can anyone point me to the necessary software? I believe I just need a copy of libfsogsm.so.0.0.0? Also any advice, such as where to put that library would be appreciated.

Re: modem firmware
hi Joerg >Can't find any such link to release notes in the howto https://www.freecalypso.org/pipermail/community/2017-August/000452.html for the beta release of the firmware (the moko13 release has no significant changes from the beta) and https://www.freecalypso.org/pipermail/community/2017-August/000464.html for the latest release of fc host tools Both those links are in the howto -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

(even if I remember it was quite uncomfortable running http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/ still there, but i think it's fair to say it's abandoned. The last versions were as good as it got on the freerunner IMO, but the main (pretty much single) developer got fed up with not having a decent kernel even after x years. >shr: abandoned ? the later versions were hopelessly broken and unusable on the freerunner. >hackable1: disappeared (I have good memories of that one ;) ) > yeah probably; anyway I'd definitely recommend qtmoko as the best bet -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
greetings from the freecalypso project
Please excuse touch of plug and slight bit of off-topic-ness, but just to let anyone here with interest in free (as in source code available) baseband firmware, that the freecalypso project is making strides. Progressing on from the stable leo2moko release for the freerunner made some time ago, we are hopefully not too far away from offering a firmware compiled entirely from source code (remaining binary blobs removed) by GCC. We are particularly excited with recent progress targeting the Motorola C139, very much a work in progress, but calls and SMS work and our firmware runs the GUI! Make a glance at https://www.freecalypso.org and https://www.freecalypso.org/howtos/ Best wishes -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: State of FreeCalypso
FWIW, last I checked, his work does sadly not enjoy any of those freedoms. Yes, you *can* look at the code, change it, and redistribute it, but you're not legally allowed to because the source code he has is proprietary. le sigh Imagine you are broke and starving hungry (that's quite easy where I live) You notice that the local supermarket has forgotten to lock up the trash area, where they chuck out perfectly good food coz it's gone past an arbitrary sell by date. You load up a bag with vegetables and you now have some appealing choices:- 1. you can eat the stuff raw or cook it 2. you could add a load of crap to it as in a frozen ready meal or prepare in a wholesome recipe 3. you can share a meal with your starving spouse and mewling children 4. I dunno but I'm sure there is a four and more So you were slightly naughty and trespassed, you grabbed something that wasn't really yours, but it was **going to waste** and **no one really cares**. NOBODY loses and a one plus person gets a meal. Much better than running some binary blob you can't even look at, yes, Yes indeed, very much better but still very different from the the goals of Free Software. Are they very different? Well when are these different goals gonna lead anywhere in the case of a cell phone? I don't see anything other than freecalypso. -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: State of FreeCalypso
I guess I was misled by OsmocomBB's website; it certainly seems to be saying that that is exactly what it is--on the front page of http://bb.osmocom.org/: In short: By using OsmocomBB on a compatible phone, you will be able to make and receive phone calls, send and receive SMS, etc. based on Free Software only. As was mentioned here already the phone has to be connected to a laptop/PC as part of the GSM stack runs on this, rather than on the phone. There are use cases for such an arrangement no doubt, but not really as an end user phone to carry in your pocket. -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: State of FreeCalypso
Lets not forget - just one man working doggedly on the only project that offers any possibility of a cell phone running firmware that offers the four freedoms. OsmocomBB? No A fine project I have no doubt, but it's not aimed at producing firmware for an end-user phone. I believe it's fair to say it's a hacking/investigative tool, but I'm happy to be corrected by anyone that actually uses or works on it. I appreciated the information on the unlock cable that they provide:- http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/Hardware/SerialCable -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: State of FreeCalypso
I'm impressed byâ your dedication and detail, and I partly enjoy reading your updates +1 but s/partly/entirely [although I also didn't enjoy reading threats :-)] Lets not forget - just one man working doggedly on the only project that offers any possibility of a cell phone running firmware that offers the four freedoms. In recognition of the fact that this project is going beyond the leo2moko firmware port and the freerunner itself, I've updated the links to the howtos I wrote for the existing firmware and tools that Michael has released:- http://matthews.pm/freecalypso.html (formerly http://matthews.pm/leo2moko.html) There should not be any broken links, but if you do see any, please let me know. Finally, please do donate generously - to Michael, not myself ^_~ -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: State of FreeCalypso

Re: FreeCalypso status
Hi Nick The uSD slot in my freerunner is broken, so I figure these instructions would be best for me: http://www.matthews.pm/freerunner/leo2moko-p3.html Yes that's the only option. I run from the uSD, but I don't see why that method wouldn't work forty you. And am I correct in thinking that the latest revision of FreeCalypso is this: ftp://ftp.ifctf.org/pub/GSM/FreeCalypso/leo2moko-r1-bin.tar.bz2 I leave that for Michael to answer. Am I correct in thinking that once flashed, the phone should work indistinguishably to the official firmware? SMS voice both fully work? Yes -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
leo2moko write ups
I've put the leo2moko write ups that I publicized some months ago at http://www.matthews.pm/leo2moko.html They will be removed from the original location within the next few weeks, so if the free calypso baseband software project is of interest to you, please make a note of the new location. -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Indiephone.eu
Hi Michael Is a GTA02 debug board any use to you? I'd be happy to mail it to you if so. * 2014-12-31: GSM fw fully running on the Calypso baseband, controlled by AT commands, which would be good enough for practical use on the GTA02, but a toy on the other targets. Voice + SMS only; adding CSD and GPRS would be subsequent extra work. Excellent - I'm glad you decided to continue. From what I've seen and heard of the UK supplier 3 (the only 3G only network here AFAIK), it's reasonable to think 2G is going to still be around for a good long while, at least in some parts of the world. * 2015-06-30: the above plus the UI layers to make a Calypso dumbphone with available schematics and no undocumented chips (e.g., Mot C139) work as a practically usable cellphone running 100% free software which any user can recompile from source and reflash at will. In the hope of the project advancing to this stage, I'm interested in picking up a dumbphone before I return to SA. Is the C139 the best bet? I notice that osmocomBB says the C140 is virtually identical to this model. What about the other phones oBB list as targets - is it reasonable to hope they will usably run freecalypso? I'm guessing though that the gui code might be substantially model specific?

Re: Looking to pick up a FreeRunner
2010-04...@17:02 swoody Unfortunately, this is a pretty bad time as I can't afford to lay out $200USD for a new FreeRunner. I'm a full-time student, and funds are indeed short. I was hoping somebody out there may have an extra FreeRunner, or know hi, if you can read italian (or know how to use a translator ^_^), take a look here: http://forum.telefoninux.org/index.php/board,58.0.html maybe you can find something interesting -- ALFA21 IS PROVIDED AS IS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
