Idarwin: Update my entry: broken link.

Of course we don't mean strictly the boundaries of Toronto, but anybody in the GTA is welcome here!
Oshawa, Pickering, Aurora, Orangeville, even Hamilton; you're good!

Om 2009

2009-05-02T15:23:39Z

Idarwin: /* Debugging */ - repair obvious typo

'''Om 2009''' is the next version of the official Openmoko distribution. It is currently under development and should be released in June 2009 to replace [[Om 2008]]. It will be based on [[FSO|freesmartphone.org]] milestone 5.5 framework.

== Flashing ==

The latest images are under [http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/testing/ testing].

Updating to the latest uboot or qi is also recommended.

===Fullscreen===

====NeoFreerunner====

Download fso-paroli-image from [http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/testing/NeoFreerunner/fso-paroli-image-om-gta02.jffs2 fso-paroli-image]. 
Download uImage.bin from [http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/testing/NeoFreerunner/uImage-2.6.28-stable+gitr0+f19f259d3c1afde8eae53983fd19f61831927413-r2-om-gta02.bin uImage.bin]. 
Download qi.udfu from [http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/testing/NeoFreerunner/qi-s3c2442-1.0.2+gitr3b8513d8b3d9615ebda605de4bda18371aa3f359.udfu qi.udfu]. 

Detailed instructions for [[Flashing_the_Neo_Freerunner|flashing]] the kernel and uboot. Qi instructions are in the [[Qi#Installation| Qi installation]] wiki.

The image will boot fullscreen into [[Paroli]] and all of the features below will be available 

====Neo 1973====

There are some rootfs tarballs for installing onto an SD card. These have a couple of issues. 

1) the battery driver is still not working correctly so the image will shutdown immediately. Remove the rule below from /etc/freesmartphone/oevetsd/rules.yaml 

trigger: PowerStatus()
filters: HasAttr(status, "empty")
actions: Command('poweroff')

2) The g_ether driver is not getting loaded at boot so an entry needs to be added to the /etc/modules file.

The image will boot fullscreen into [[Paroli]] and all of the features below will be available 

== Development ==

Currently Om 2009 is starting its beta phase. Testing builds will be generated into the [http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/testing/ testing] disto. 

The progress of FSO development is documented regularly in the Status updates at [[OpenmokoFramework]]. For the Om 2009 release plan see [http://n2.nabble.com/Om2009-release-plan-tp2410042p2410042.html].

This page will be updated to reflect the status of Om 2009 

== Features Status ==

Below is the feature list for Om 2009. It's broken down into features that have been implemented and need testing, and features that still need to be finished

=== Implemented ===

phone calls incoming and outgoing 
sms incoming and outgoing 
simple phone book (no images) 
call log 
charging 
suspend and resume 
alarm clock 
resume speed < 2 seconds - this is close but waiting on a kernel bug 
battery indicator - works for gta02 battery 
gsm indicator 
switch to elementary 
scrolling in UI - fixed by migrating from etk to elementary 
switching profiles 
in-call volume adjustment 
settings tool (this needs to be enabled by editing /etc/paroli/paroli.cfg) 

=== Not Yet Implemented or Broken ===

boot time < 2 minutes - currently examining ways to speed this up 
screen lock 
battery indicator - doesn't work for gta01 battery 
user changeable ring tones - works via command line 
bluetooth - support in FSO milestone 5.5, needs GUI 
wifi - works from the command line, kernels bugs still present 
led indication for missed calls or sms 

=== Bug List and Known Issues ===

gsm0710muxd: "Modem does not respond to AT commands" [http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2257 OM 2257] 
illume: exit dialog is only 1 pixel wide

== Debugging ==

To get persistent logs to a file the a few things need to be changed. 
The logging output needs to be set to DEBUG and sent to a file. Edit /etc/frameworkd.conf and change

<pre>
[frameworkd]
version = 1
log_level = INFO
log_to = syslog
</pre>

to

<pre>
[frameworkd]
version = 1
log_level = DEBUG
log_to = file
log_destination = /var/log/frameworkd.log
</pre>

Now to have persistent logs, ones that remain after a reboot, the /var/log symlink needs to be turned into a directory

<pre>
rm /var/log
mkdir /var/log
</pre>

Your log files should now be full of information and remain there after a reboot.

[[Image:GTA02.gif |200px|right|frontside]]
OpenMoko™ is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source Open Source] project to create the world's first free mobile phone operating system which runs a full X server and can therefore run most X applications. The [[OpenMoko]] project is a community that anyone can join, to help design their ideal phone.

You can install any [[OpenMoko]] software over the whole range of [[OpenMoko-supported hardware|supported phones]], and if you upgrade your phone, you won't lose that software. Bugs fixed on any phone are fixed on all.

The [[Neo1973 | Neo 1973 (GTA01)]] from [[FIC]] is the first of many phones that OpenMoko may be used on and has now sold out (Feb 11 2008) as can be seen here - [https://direct.openmoko.com/ Openmoko Online Shop].

The [[Neo FreeRunner | Neo FreeRunner (GTA02)]] is not yet available - see further down this page for info on the development status and further information. You can add your nickname to those interested buying the Neo FreeRunner [[Buying_Interest_List|here]].

Please join us in collaborating on the OpenMoko project through any of the [[Development resources | project resources]] including this OpenMoko wiki. Please see the [[Help:Contents | wiki editing help]] page for information on making contributions to this wiki. A [[Meet the Core Team | core team]] of developers funded by FIC, Inc. leads the project.

An [[introduction]] page and [[OPENMOKO WIKI Official Index Page |index page]] is available, with [[Introduction#Photos|photos]], [[Introduction#Videos|videos]] and index of wiki . Moreover, the usual [[FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions]] (FAQ) and [[OPENMOKO WIKI Official Index Page |index page]] pages might be helpful. Developers may find the [[ChangeLog | change log]] an important resource.

{{warning|'''The OpenMoko GUI applications are not suitable for end users yet.''' They are still in beta. Do not expect to always and reliably make and receive calls from the OpenMoko GUI. Thanks to the openness of the FIC Neo1973 hardware, there is also an alternative to the OpenMoko GUI: Qtopia 4.3.x is released under GPL and is at the edge of being usable for phone use.}}

Idarwin: /* OpenLab Goal */ Minor wording tweaks

OpenMoko is going to amplify FOSS in Taiwan. The goal is to collect developers, designers and students and have them to get involved in OpenMoko project. So, OpenLab is a place to promote / amplify FOSS and design in Taiwan. It will allow on-site interaction with FOSS community/school and OpenMoko.

Currently, the first [[OpenLab/zh_tw|OpenLab in Taiwan]] is now on.

[[Image:openmoko_map.png]]

== OpenLab Goal ==

OpenMoko R&D headquarters is located in Taiwan. In order to have some direct interactions with the Taiwan open source community, OpenMoko has sponsored the establishlishment of OpenLab. This is a physical open space. Everyone is invited to come in to OpenLab to talk with OpenMoko developers, to understand how to get involved in OpenMoko’s project and to chat with some community friends. OpenLab welcomes all the community friends to use it as a place to exchange technical experiments or simply to chat.

OpenMoko sponsors OpenLab in order to promote the FOSS (Free & Open Source Software) spirit. OpenLab will host its opening ceremony on Saturday November 17, 2007 and will start to operate then. Everyone is welcome to come to this event. Application for this event can be found at: [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/OpenMoko_OpenLab_Opening http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/OpenMoko_OpenLab_Opening]。

Ipkg

2007-11-29T23:28:45Z

Idarwin: /* History */ - tweak wording

The practical way to install software on OpenMoko is with the [http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Ipkg Ipkg package manager], possibly via the graphical [[Application Manager]]. Naturally, you need to have obtained an OpenMoko system by other means initially.

For the latest ipk package files from buildhost put the following lines in your /etc/ipkg/base-feed.conf:
src/gz all http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.2/tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/all/
src/gz armv4t http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.2/tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/armv4t/
src/gz fic-gta01 http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.2/tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/fic-gta01/

In the shell, "ipkg update" will update the list of available packages, "ipkg upgrade" will download and install all packages that have a newer version available and "ipkg install new-app" will download and install "new-app".

Have a look at [[Repositories]] to get addresses of alternative software repositories, e.g. ScaredyCat's ipkg repository.

== History ==

Ipkg re-implements for embedded systems the functionality of Debian tools dpkg, apt, and apt-get. For example, it uses much less disk space for the package metadata.

== Ipkg Breaks Kernels ==

Unfortunately, ipkg has a bug; it tries to install kernels (and does actually install the kernel modules), but the kernel is on a separate partition that isn't normally mounted. So when you do "ipkg upgrade" and kernel packages get installed, your system breaks (the modules no longer match the kernel). For example, sound no longer worked for me.

To fix this, you have to find a kernel image somewhere else (I don't know how to tell you how to find that -- on IRC, mentax suggested installing http://buildhost.openmoko.org/OM2007.2/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/fic-gta01/uImage-2.6.22.5-moko11+svnr2937-r2-fic-gta01.bin
(but that advice is probably obsolete by the time you read it.) Once you have a kernel partition image that matches the modules installed by ipkg, you can install the kernel by powering off the phone and following the advice in [[Flashing_openmoko]].

It seems to me that ipkg should be able to flash the kernel partition -- but nobody's made it do so, yet.

== Installing Packages to the Memory Card ==

You can use ipkg to install packages to a folder on the memory card. To do this you'll need the following:

=== Ext2 Formatted Memory Card ===

By default, the memory card comes formated with VFAT (Windows Format). You need to re-format the card with EXT2. You will not be able to view the files on the card using a windows system after this.

To check if your card is using vfat or ext, run the 'mount' command, and look for: /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/card.

On the NEO, run the following:
''' This will erase everything on your memory card '''

umount /media/card
fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
t 83
w
q
mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /media/card

=== Entry in ipkg.conf File ===

In your ipkg.conf file, after "dest root /" add a new line:
dest card /media/card/ipkg

Create /media/card/ipkg folder
mkdir /media/card/ipkg

=== Installing Packages on the Card ===

When installing a package, use the -d option to have in installed on the card:
ipkg install -d card python-core

This will put all files (binaries and libraries) on the card, under the folder specified in the ipkg.conf file.

=== Linking/Using Packages on the Card ===

Your system will not be able to see the packages that you just added to your card. There are two ways to remedy this.
The better solution is to use ipkg-link from the 'ipkg-utils' package, but 'better' is always subjective - YMMV.

==== 1: Ipkg Utils and ipkg-link ====

Ipkg-utils is a package that provides some additional functionality for ipkg. A very useful tool is ipkg-link, which creates symbolic lynks for packages installed in non-root locations (such as a card) back to the root file system.

To get ipkg-utils, run:
ipkg install ipkg-utils

To create symbolic links to your root system for a specific package, run: ipkg-link add <package>. For example, for python-core use:
ipkg-link add python-core

To create symbolic links for all packages installed in a location, run:
ipkg-link mount /media/card/ipkg

The ''ipkg-link remove'' and ''ipkg-link unmount'' commands remove the symlinks for a package or all packages.

There is a list of the options for the ipkg command under "How do I use it?" [http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Ipkg here.]

==== 2: Adding the card PATH and LIB directories to your path ====
Another way to add bin and lib files to your system is by modifying your environment variables in /etc/profile as follows:

On the line that defines the PATH variable, add:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/media/card/ipkg/usr/bin

Then, before the 'export' line add:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/media/card/ipkg/usr/lib

Then modify the 'export' line and add LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the end.

This will let the system see the binary and library files, but it will not see other resources, such as images, configuration files, desktop files, etc. For this reason, ipkg-link is preferred.

Bricked

2007-11-29T23:06:39Z

Idarwin: Add prolog, differentiate between bricked and dead battery.

== What is/is not a 'bricked' Neo? ==

"Bricked", by analogy with "as useful as a brick", means that the phone's state (as stored in flash memory) has gotten sufficiently messed up that you cannot get it operational via normal means, no matter how clever. The usual (but not the only) cause, as in the story below, is errors in re-flashing the device. The normal way to "un-brick" a phone requires use of a [[Debug_Board]].

Note that being "bricked" must be distinguished from having a deeply-discharged battery. If you phone was working fine last Friday and won't boot up at all this Monday morning, it is more likely suffering the "really-dead-battery"; recovery from this is described on the [[Neo1973_Battery_Charger|Battery page]]; briefly: unplug USB, remove the battery for a minute, replace battery, connect USB, charge ('''without touching any buttons or trying to boot!''') for twelve hours.

== Notes on a 'bricked' Neo ==

I've just spent a very long time, with the help of a few people on irc (who I now owe drinks to), trying to recover my Neo. This page is the result and is supposed to act as a collection of information to help owners with bricked or semi-bricked devices.

== The Problem defined ==

A typing error in the splashimage environment variable resulted in the splash image being read into the memory starting at 0x200000 rather than 0x32000000. The change was written, with the error being unnoticed, using saveenv. As a result it was not possible to connect the device to usb until it had booted fully. Any attempt to either start with usb plugged in or plugging it in at the u-boot prompt resulted in a locked up device. Looking at dmesg on the host the following errors were reported

usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 21
usb 3-1: device not accepting address 21, error -110

(the address number will change).

So the problem was that although the device could now boot there was no way to flash it with dfu.

=== The Solution ===

The solution was to try and prevent the splashimage environment variable from being looked at, thus preventing the write to the wrong area of memory.

==== Attempt 1 ====

The idea was to dump mtdblock1 to a file, scp the file to a PC, hex edit it scp the file back to the phone and then dd the result into the mtdblock.

On the Neo

dd if=/dev/mtdblock1 of=mtdblock1.bin

Rebooting was required because of the i/o errors. The i/o error problem has been reported as bug [http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=567 567]

Once the Neo had rebooted the file was copied to a PC using scp. The first attempt to hex edit was made, the idea was to change 1 byte of the word '''splashimage''' so that it would, hopefully, be ignored by the bootloader. The resulting file was scp'd back to the Neo and written to flash

dd if=new_mtdblock1 of=/dev/mtdblock1

again once this was done a 'reboot' was performed.

==== Result 1 ====

When the device booted there was a small tux image in the top left hand corner of the screen and a u-boot version string displayed over some of it. The device would not continue to boot.

Powered off the Neo, powered on with AUX+POWER go give a reduced boot menu.

Boot
Factory reset

Selecting Boot resulted in a familiar 'bad magic number' error. However, selecting Factory reset resulted in the device booting. This time DFU was operational, but /dev/ttyACM0 was not available so there was no way to change the environment variable for splashimage.

'''[[User:CesarB|Cesar Barros]] points out that'''

''The reason editing the environment by hand does not work well is not the missing variable, but that the CRC doesn't match anymore, which makes it ignore the whole environment''

which makes perfect sense.

==== Attempt 2 ====

This idea involved taking the mtdblock1 from a working Neo and dd'ing it to the failed Neo's flash. '''WARNING!!! Never flash an u-boot-env (mtdblock1) that does not come from your own Neo. It contains a partition table and bad block table that's unique for each Neo.'''

==== Result 2 ====

The process was similar to attempt one, although no hex edit took place. The result was that the Neo booted perfectly, although without a splash screen. As the next stage for this the mtdblock3 was dumped from the working Neo and dd'd into mtdblock3 of the Neo with no splash screen.

The final result was a perfectly fine Neo with a splash screen, working boot menu and dfu capabilities.

== Discoveries ==

1. You can use dd to extract and overwrite your mtd partitions. This works particularly well for u-boot-env and splash providing the source device has a similar partition layout. Doing this on the u-boot partition was '''not''' tested. However, after you have used dd on the mtdblock devices as either the if= or of= you get i/o errors with even basic commands. The only way to get round this is to 'reboot' by removing the battery.

2. Hex editing the extracted mtd partition (u-boot-env) and trying to dd that works but the results are not what is expected. It appears that if one of the boot env parameters is missing, in this case splashimage, the u-boot-env parameters are all treated as if they were blank and the device uses default settings. This is because the CRC no longer matches.

3. QEMU is very useful for testing out your theories before actually doing them on a real device. Most of the things we tried were tried on qemu first. Sadly QEMU's sd card emulation appears to be broken.

== Useful information ==

On your Neo:

cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00004000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00004000 00004000 "u-boot_env"
mtd2: 00200000 00004000 "kernel"
mtd3: 000a0000 00004000 "splash"

Neo 1973 Battery Charging Logic

2007-11-29T22:57:17Z

Idarwin: Easier-to-read wording.

The [[Neo1973 Battery]] charging logic is embedded into our [[Neo1973 GTA01 Power Management|PCF50606 Power Management]] Unit (PMU).

The PCF50606 supports a variety of [[Neo1973 Battery]] charging modes, based around the hardware limitations of USB.

Some USB hubs only provide up to 100mA per device.
If more than the available current is drawn from them, they may be reset, or power off.
This resets all devices connected to the USB bus, possibly causing data loss.
So, fast charge mode is only enabled after the Neo is told that it is safe to charge at this current.

{{warning|While we have spent a significant amount on various safe-guards such as battery-internal overcurrent/overvoltage protection, manual twisting with low-level charger control aspects is not recommended. It might damage either the [[battery]] or charging circuit.}}

{{warning|Because the Neo1973 is overly conservative with drawing power from USB, it will often NOT charge with the full 500mA. Also, it is currently unclear how "off" a powered down Neo really is. So to avoid having to go through the emergency charging procedure outlined below (which will keep you from using your Neo for hours) make sure that you pull the battery from the device when you are not using it. This issue must be fixed in GTA02 as the current behavior is not end user compatible. }}

== Charging Modes ==

=== Pre Charge ===

The default mode is what the PMU calls '''Pre Charge''', in which it draws 100mA charging current from the USB socket. This mode is safe to use on any USB socket, since the USB specification mandates that 100mA is always available.

In practice, 40mA is the approximate charging current in this mode, meaning fully charging a 1200mAh [[Neo1973 Battery]] will take around 40hrs charging time, which is not very practical at all.

In this mode, /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0008/chgmode reports 'pre'

=== Fast Charge ===

Fast Charge is what the PMU calls the charging mode in which we draw up to 500mA charging current from the USB socket. This mode can only be used if the USB stack on the host controller has selected a '''USB Configuration''' for the Neo which allows it to draw 500mA.

By default, if you apply +5V to the USB device socket, we draw only 100mA.

In this mode, /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0008/chgmode reports 'fast_cccv'

==== Fast Charge (CCCV) ====

Fast charging, using first constant current, later constant voltage. This is what we use for our Li-Ion [[Neo1973 Battery]]

==== Fast Charge (CVCC) ====

[[Category:Neo1973 Hardware]]

== Neo1973 emergency charging ==

=== from deep discharged battery ===

A deep discharged battery is one where the terminal voltage is below the minimal voltage threshold. The Neo1973 (specifically: The PCF50606 PMU) will not power-on the device. ''see also [[Neo1973 GTA01 Power Management]]

If you make sure to remove the USB cable and put a deep discharged battery into the Neo1973, the battery can still be charged. All you need to do is to provide 5V to the USB socket, by either connecting the Neo1973 to some USB port or a dumb USB charger.

The battery will charge only with 100mA, and it will take a couple of hours until the battery is again charged to a level where it can power the phone.

{{note|Please do not press the power button before you have waited for something like four hours. If you do so, the phone might [partially] power up, and draw more power than the 100mA supplied by the charger/USB, and so begin discharging itself again.

If you did press the power button,
#Remove the battery,
#Wait a moment,
#Insert the battery
#Connect the charger or USB.}}

The procedure to follow is:
# '''Open Case.
# '''Remove Battery.
# '''Wait 20s.''' ''This resets the hardware, and makes sure nothing is drawing current during the next stage.
# '''Insert the Battery.'''
# '''Plug into a USB host, or USB charger.''' ''At this time, the battery will be charging at a low rate.
# '''Wait 1 hour.''' At this time, the battery will be approximately 5% charged, which should run the Neo for several minutes. ''This time needs to be resolved: it is not quite clear how long to charge a deeply discharged battery before the device is able to request a 500 mA fast charge current.
# '''If you have a USB host, plug it into a port capable of sourcing 500mA and load the appropriate drivers, so the neo can negotiate to draw 500mA.

*If you have a dumb charger, see the [[Bootloader]] page for how to add a u-boot menu entry to turn on fast-charging.

==Proposals for alternative charging schemes==

An alternate method - for example sensing if there is no USB communication from the host for 30 seconds - as may be the case with dumb 'USB chargers' - would need to be used to be compatible with the vast majority of already existing hardware.
This has a small risk of causing buses it is connected to in suspend mode, when they are not active, to crash, and is not compliant with the specification.

:The USB spec requires the host to reply in a much shorter time than 30 seconds. Waiting that long is overkill and would be very annoying if you were trying to charge with something like a [http://www.21st-century-goods.com/page/21st/PROD/AHPG crank charger].

Another option would be to detect a short between D+ and D-, according to the recent [http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/batt_charging_1_0.zip USB Battery Charging Specification]; see [http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=685 bug 685].

Idarwin: /* About Ian */ Add one link.

== About Ian ==

I'm a computer programmer who's worked with computers since the beginning of time but still doesn't know it all. I mostly work in Java, some C; my *NIX flavor is [http://www.openbsd.org OpenBSD].

My best known public works are the *NIX [http://www.darwinsys.com/file file command] in C, and the O'Reilly [http://javacook.darwinsys.com Java Cookbook]. I've done several shorter O'Reilly books, including the ancient ''Checking C Programs with Lint'' and the much newer [http://cjp.darwinsys.com/ Checking Java Programs (with Open Source Tools)].

I've written a complete PIM and it worked, but it sucked^H^H^H^H^H^H^H it was never quite ready for prime time.

My official web site is http://www.darwinsys.com/; my blog (with several mentions of OpenMoko) is at http://theories.darwinsys.com/, and my OpenMoko fan site is at http://www.darwinsys.com/openmoko/.

Other OSes

2007-08-06T20:58:34Z

Idarwin: Philosophy.

There are two areas in which other OSes can take a part in OpenMoko.
First, not everybody will use Linux to download (and/or develop) software into their phones; we call this the Host OS.
Secondly, it is possible that some people may wish to run alternate OSes on their phone itself.

== Alternate Host OS ==

=== Microsoft Windows ===

(link to this page...)

=== Mac OS X ===

Covered elsewhere; see [[MacOS_X]]. They have dfu-util and ether-gadget working.

=== OpenBSD ===

The cdce(4) driver works "out of the box" with OpenMoko's ethergadget interface, so you can ssh in, run remote X clients, scp in or out, etc.

[[User:Idarwin|Ian Darwin]] has a port of dfu-util partly working (list works but not download).

== Alternate Software In the Neo Phone ==

The OpenMoko project has invested a lot of time & energy in making the OpenMoko software stack work nicely on the Neo1973 phone. But it is your phone and, unlike most providers, they will not stop you from running whatever you like on the "bare metal" of the phone itself. And some people are never satisfied with a device until they've flashed the firmware multiple times. Here are some alternatives.

=== Other Linux Distros ===

* JavaFX Mobile -- At JavaOne, Sun demonstrated JavaFX running in the phone. Although based on a similar Linux kernel, this is a completely different user-mode stack.
*[[Angstrom_on_Neo1973|Angstrom]]
*[http://www.o-hand.com OpenedHand] provides http://pokylinux.org/

=== Windows CE? ===

Windows CE runs on some Arm-based handhelds, so it is theoretically possible.

=== Other OSes? ===

Anything other than Linux or WinCE?

<big>'''Welcome to the [[OpenMoko]] public Wiki'''</big> 

[[Image:FIC-neo1973_small.jpg|200px|right|frontside]]
OpenMoko is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source Open Source] project to create the world's first free mobile phone operating system.

The [[OpenMoko]] project is a community that anyone can join, to help design their ideal phone.

Eventually, phone software won't be tied to any particular phone. You can install any OpenMoko software over the whole range of [[Supported Hardware|supported phones]], and if you upgrade your phone, you don't lose that software. Bugs fixed on any phone are fixed on all.

'''Currently it is not suitable for users.''' The state of the software at the moment is pre-alpha. If you order a Neo1973, DO NOT expect to be able to use it as an everyday phone for several months.

The [[Neo1973]] from [[FIC]] is the first of many phones that OpenMoko will run on; indeed, some people erroneously use the terms Neo1973 and OpenMoko as interchangeable. If you are willing to have the alpha test experience, you can order Neo1973 hardware now from the [https://direct.openmoko.com/ Openmoko Online Shop]. You may wish to see the [[SH1 FAQ|Shipment 1 FAQ]].

Please join us in collaborating on the OpenMoko project through any of the [[Development resources | project resources]] including this OpenMoko wiki. Please see the [[Help:Contents | wiki editing help]] page for information on making contributions to this wiki. A [[Meet the Core Team | core team]] of developers funded by FIC, Inc. leads the project.

An [[introduction]] page is available, with [[Introduction#Photos|photos]] and [[Introduction#Videos|videos]]. Moreover, the usual [[FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions]] (FAQ) page might be helpful. Developers may find the [[ChangeLog | change log]] an important resource.

Update 2007-07-25: The [http://forums.makeopensource.com/ Unofficial OpenMoko Forums] are now open! Everyone is invited to participate!

The members of the OpenMoko community would like to thank FIC Inc. for showing leadership and initiating the OpenMoko project.

Other OSes

Idarwin: New mostly-links page summarizing all "alternative" OSes, both host and in-phone.

There are two areas in which other OSes can take a part in OpenMoko.
First, not everybody will use Linux to download (and/or develop) software into their phones; we call this the Host OS.
Secondly, it is possible that some people may wish to run alternate OSes on their phone itself.

== Alternate Host OS ==

=== Microsoft Windows ===

(link to this page...)

=== Mac OS X ===

Covered elsewhere; see [[MacOS_X]]. They have dfu-util and ether-gadget working.

=== OpenBSD ===

The cdce(4) driver works fine with OpenMoko's ethergadget interface, so you can scp ipkg files then ssh in and install them.

[[User:Idarwin|Ian Darwin]] has a port of dfu-util partly working (list works but not download).

== Alternate Software In the Neo Phone ==

=== JavaFX Mobile ===

At JavaOne, Sun demonstrated JavaFX running in the phone. Although based on a similar Linux kernel, this is a completely different user-mode stack.

=== OpenedHand ===

This Linux-based project claims to have "experimental" support, but it is based on 2007.02 firmware.

=== Windows CE? ===

Windows CE runs on some Arm-based handhelds, so it is theoretically possible.

Disassembling Neo 1973

2007-08-01T23:41:14Z

Idarwin: /* Opening back cover */ Note it is not hinged.

{{note| The [[Disassembling Neo1973 | Disassembling the Neo1973 page]] shows how to open up the GTA01Bv3 hardware revision. Future hardware revisions may require updates to this page. However, both GTA01B4 (currently shipping) and [[GTA02#.22Phase_2.22_.28GTA02.2C_.22Mass_Market.22.29|GTA02]] (the version to be released in October) share the same case. }}

== Back side of Neo1973 ==
[[Image:Gta01b v3 case back white.jpg|700px]]

== Opening back cover ==

To remove the back cover, put your fingernail in the small recess on the top of the Neo, and pull gently.

{{note| the back is not hinged, as it may appear in this picture; lift both sides away equally to avoid breaking the small tabs.}}

[[Image:Gta01b v3 case back open white.jpg|700px]]

{{note| You now need to remove the two Torx screws (T6x40)}}

== Carefully remove top cover ==
[[Image:Gta01b v3 case side opening white.jpg|700px]]

To remove the top cover, after removing the two Torx screws, ''carefully'' squeeze the end of the supplied guitar pick between the cover and the case at the bottom of the device, and then slide the pick up to the top on one side (do not twist the pick). As you slide the pick along, the case retaining clips should come apart with a snapping sound. Repeat the procedure for the other side of the device. To unclip the last remaining large retaining clip at the top, slide the pick all the way to the top (this can be difficult) and then press it in at the centre. By ''careful'' application of force the clip will detach and the cover can then be removed.

== Top case lid removed ==
[[Image:Gta01b v3 case top open white.jpg|700px]]

Visible in this image, from the right, going clockwise.

*The blocky device at the far right is the GPS antenna.
**To the left of this, there are two gold pads, which are where the earpiece speaker connects.
*The [[Debug Board]] connector.
*At the left, the black semicircular device is the GSM antenna.
**Immediately to its right, the small circular black/gold object is the microphone
*At the top right, the ''Aux button''
*Right below it seems to be a small battery. It can also be seen on the picture below.

In the middle is the touchscreen LCD, the touchscreen printed wire can be seen beginning at the bottom left of this, through the glass.

== Lifting the PCB on the left side ==
{{note|You have to bend the plastic case a bit outwards until the headphone jack on the left side of the device becomes loose}}
[[Image:Gta01b v3 case top open pcb lift white.jpg|700px]]

== Removing PCB from case frame ==
{{note|Since the PCB now is loose on one side, you can carefully pull the USB socket and GPS antenna connector out of the right side of the case, and then flip the PCB upwards}}
[[Image:Gta01b v3 case top open pcb lifted.jpg|700px]]

This shows:
*At the top on a green board, the bluetooth module, and the square bluetooth antenna.
*The headset jack is to the right of this.
**Immediately below the headset jack is the [[Neo1973 Battery]] connector.
**Below the [[Neo1973 Battery]] connector, the two gold pads feed the vibrator motor.
*To the right of the headset jack is the left speaker connector.

On the other side of the PCB, going from bottom-right corner down-left.

*The small circular connector is the GSM connector to which an external aerial can be connected with the back removed, or with an alternative back.

*To the left of this is the right speaker connector.
*One of the button switches.
*USB port.
*Micro-SD slot
*SIM slot - overlaying the Micro-SD slot when present.
*Gold GPS antenna connector.
**Immediately above this with the grey wire connection is the connection to the built in GPS antenna.

On the case picture below, you can see the left and right speakers under the translucent plastic, and the vibrator motor in the middle.

== Empty case frame ==

[[Image:Gta01b v3 case empty white.jpg|700px]]

You can actually see the two stereo speakers beneath the translucent cover, and next to it the small vibrator motor.

Next to the top of the picture is a hole near the speaker.
The external GSM antenna connector is accessed through this hole.

== GSM Antenna ==

Some first steps guide for those who have just received their first Neo1973 hardware

== Hardware ==

=== Inserting the battery ===

Remove the back cover (see just the first step of [[Disassembling Neo1973]]).

See notes below on inserting the SIM, the SD card, and the battery (this page needs to be reorganized).

=== Powering up the phone ===
[[Image:Neo1973_uboot_splash.jpg|200px|thumb|bootloader splash screen]]
Just hitting the power button (depending on your [[u-boot]] version you have to press for >= 5 seconds) should get the phone first into the bootloader, then boot the kernel, and get into X/OpenMoko.

Once you have pressed the power button sufficiently long, the vibrator makes a short pulse and the screen backlight turns on. You can now release the power button and watch the phone booting.

If the battery is not sufficiently charged, the phone will not turn on, even if the usb cable is plugged in.

=== Flashing the Neo1973 GTA01Bv4 ===
The GTA01Bv4 devices that are currently shipping do not boot out of the box. Flashing the phone with the latest kernel and supporting file system ("rootfs") is required before the phone will successfully boot.

Read more information at about [[Flashing openmoko]].

=== Powering down the phone ===

==== While in bootloader mode, or if the phone has crashed ====

If you press the power button for 9 seconds, the phone will switch off. You can notice this by the backlight going dark.

==== While running a full linux system with userspace ====

In this mode, a power-button press of 5 seconds will be sufficient. After this, the init process will take care of safely shutting down the phone, which might take up to 20 extra seconds. The X server should get killed, you should drop back to a (garbled) console, and it should finally switch off - much like a regular Linux PC.

=== Battery charging ===

The [[Neo1973]] supports two charging modes: One 100mA charge mode (called pre-charge) and 500mA (called fast charge). Charging is always done via the USB socket. You can use any USB-A to USB-mini-B cable to connect the phone to any USB host.

==== While in u-boot ====

While you are in u-boot mode, the phone only charges with 100mA by default. (This will change in one of the future revisions).

However, using the u-boot console you can manually enable fast charging. See [[U-boot#Battery_charger_related]] for more information.

==== While in Linux ====

As soon as the phone is connected via USB cable, it will charge. However, the default charging current is only 100mA, way too little if you want to operate the phone and charge at the same time.

If your USB upstream port is capable of supplying 500mA, then it will configure the Neo1973 accordingly and use 500mA charging mode. You can notice this by the following line in the kernel log (/var/log/messages) of the laptop/desktop your Neo1973 is hooked up too
usb0: full speed config #1: 500 mA, Ethernet Gadget, using CDC Ethernet

=== Inserting the SIM card (optional) ===

The slot is found just under the battery. The card holder has arrows indicating which way to push it to unlock it - make sure you don't open it with force when it's locked or it may break. Insert the SIM so that the pads make contact and push the holder firmly until it makes a click, then lock it - otherwise the card will not be detected.

To check if the SIM card is inserted correctly in Linux, you can have a look in gsmd logs or use the instructions detailed in the [[Manually using GSM]] page and issue the ''AT+CIMI'' command.

=== Using your micro-SD card ===

You should have received a memory card with your phone. You might want to copy some mp3 (or better Ogg Vorbis) files to it to try media playback.

Open the SIM card holder (see above) and gently slide the micro-SD shield toward the battery contacts. Lift up the shield and insert the card, contacts first and away from the shield side. Rotate it shut and gently slide the shield away from the battery contacts to lock it closed.

The card should automatically be available under /media/card the next time you boot. You can test it and your audio drivers at the same time by playing an mp3 from it. See [[Neo1973 Audio Subsystem]].

== Getting shell access on the phone ==

=== By using the terminal emulator and on-screen keyboard ===

"Click" (using a stylus) the top-left arrow icon to get a drop-down menu with "Media", "Settings", "Utilities" and "Desktop". Choose "Utilities->Panel->Input Manager", and a keyboard icon will appear on the top bar. You can get an on-screen keyboard at any time by choosing it.

With newer images, the keyboard comes up when you tap the white box in the top bar.

From the desktop, choose "Active tasks->rxvt" to get a root shell.

Terminal is in the top level menu in recent images.

=== By using Ethernet emulation over a USB cable ===

The standard Neo1973 Linux [[kernel]] has support for the "cdc_ether USB gadget", i.e. a standard implementation of how to emulate an Ethernet device over USB.

As soon as the kernel is up and running, and you have the phone connected via USB, you should get a '''usb0''' device on your host.

The Phone will have the IPv4 address 192.168.0.202/24. You can run `ifconfig` in the terminal on the phone to verify this (this is optional, just check it if it doesn't work given the instructions below)

If you plug a USB cable into a laptop running Linux, you'll likely see the "cdc_ether" kernel module being loaded and a usb0 network interface appear.

On the '''host PC''', you should then configure your interface to 192.168.0.200 by using
# ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0

Then you should be able to
# ping 192.168.0.202

and last, but not least
# ssh root@192.168.0.202

Once you press 'enter' (empty password), you should now have a root login.

See [[USB_Networking]] for more details, including instructions on how to automatically setup masquerading so that your phone can get access to the internet through the host PC.

=== By using the debug board/serial/JTAG ===

Please see [[Debug Board#Usage_Instructions]]

== Getting access to the bootloader console ==

Please see [[u-boot#Using_usbtty_from_Linux]]

== Using Audio ==
=== Enable Internal Speaker and Mic in Phone Calls ===
If you got no Speaker and Mic during a Call you need to load the "gsmhandset.state" alsa-configfile

alsactl -f /etc/alsa/gsmhandset.state restore

Maybe you need to load another .state file for playing mp3 or a BT-Headset see in /etc/alsa/

== Useful commands in Linux ==

=== Suspending ===

Writing "mem" into ''/sys/power/state'' tells Linux to suspend - it will enter a low power mode where only the GSM and RAM are powered up and the CPU sleeps. It will persist in this state until a wake-up event arrives. Some currently enabled wake-up events are: AUX or POWER key press, USB cable detect.

If you're connected over ssh, sshd will stop responding when the OS suspends, so to avoid locking up your ssh client, use the command
# (sleep 1; echo mem > /sys/power/state) & exit

=== Initial backup ===

After getting your new Neo1973 booted for the first time you might want to make a back up of the original flash chip contents on your PC, before you overwrite the flash with a custom image or just update to a newer build.

{{note|For phase 0 developers only (GTA01Bv4 shippment 0, '''not > 0 '''): This is a good idea 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).}}

One easy way to back up all of the Flash, that doesn't require installing any special software, is with ''netcat'' over the [[USB Networking|USB ethernet]]. The following commands can be used for that.
{|
! On the host !! On the target
|-
|<pre>
$ netcat -l -p 20000 > mtdblock0
$ netcat -l -p 20000 > mtdblock1
$ netcat -l -p 20000 > mtdblock2
$ netcat -l -p 20000 > mtdblock3
$ netcat -l -p 20000 > mtdblock4
</pre>
|<pre>
# cat /dev/mtdblock0 | nc 192.168.0.200 20000
# cat /dev/mtdblock1 | nc 192.168.0.200 20000
# cat /dev/mtdblock2 | nc 192.168.0.200 20000
# cat /dev/mtdblock3 | nc 192.168.0.200 20000
# cat /dev/mtdblock4 | nc 192.168.0.200 20000
</pre>
|}

This stores the five NAND partitions in files named mtdblock*. Knowing the partition layout (u-boot "mtdparts" command or Linux dmesg) you can restore the whole flash with it.

=== Where to from here ===

You'll probably want to play with some of the interesting hardware in this device. Obviously, you can explore the applications available through the touch-screen interface. But for those who prefer doing things more in the raw from a shell prompt, you can [[Manually_using_GSM | manually use GSM]] or you can start playing with the [[GPS]].

<big>'''Welcome to the [[OpenMoko]] public Wiki'''</big> 
For other languages see the [[#bottom|bottom]] of this page.

[[Image:FIC-neo1973_small.jpg|200px|right|frontside]]
OpenMoko is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source Open Source] project to create the world's first free mobile phone operating system.

The [[OpenMoko]] project is a community that anyone can join, to help design their ideal phone.

Eventually, phone software won't be tied to any particular phone. You can install any OpenMoko software over the whole range of [[Supported Hardware|supported phones]], and if you upgrade your phone, you don't lose that software. Bugs fixed on any phone are fixed on all.

'''Currently it is not suitable for users.''' The state of the software at the moment is pre-alpha. If you order a Neo1973, DO NOT expect to be able to use it as an everyday phone for several months.

The [[Neo1973]] from [[FIC]] is the first of many phones that OpenMoko will run on; indeed, some people erroneously use the terms Neo1973 and OpenMoko as interchangeable. If you are willing to have the alpha test experience, you can order Neo1973 hardware now from the [https://direct.openmoko.com/ Openmoko Online Shop]. You may wish to see the [[SH1 FAQ|Shipment 1 FAQ]].

Please join us in collaborating on the OpenMoko project through any of the [[Development resources | project resources]] including this OpenMoko wiki. Please see the [[Help:Contents | wiki editing help]] page for information on making contributions to this wiki. A [[Meet the Core Team | core team]] of developers funded by FIC, Inc. leads the project.

An [[introduction]] page is available, with [[Introduction#Photos|photos]] and [[Introduction#Videos|videos]]. Moreover, the usual [[FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions]] (FAQ) page might be helpful. Developers may find the [[ChangeLog | change log]] an important resource.

Update 2007-07-25: The [http://forums.makeopensource.com/ Unofficial OpenMoko Forums] are now open! Everyone is invited to participate!

The members of the OpenMoko community would like to thank FIC Inc. for showing leadership and initiating the OpenMoko project.

Java

2007-07-22T15:37:01Z

Idarwin: Expand /* J2SE Links */

== Introduction ==
There are two main types of Java platforms that can be made available on OpenMoko devices such as the Neo1973.
* Java Standard Edition (J2SE)
* Java Micro Edition (J2ME)
* Hybrid Solutions

=== Java Standard Edition (J2SE) ===

This is the incarnation of the desktop version of Sun's Java platform. The majority of its codebase was recently opensourced under the GPL+exception license; the closed bits are quickly being replaced by unencumbered alternatives.

When people talk of Java applications, they're usually referring to software targetted to this platform. Application memory footprints on desktop applications usually include the VM and base libraries into account, rather than just the application itself (this isn't the case in J2ME).

=== Java Micro Edition (J2ME) ===

This is the 'lite' edition of the Java platform. Modular and optimised for embedded devices, this platform provides a much more restricted set of language and library features.

J2ME applications are usually referred to as MIDlets (Sun's name for these applications).

When talking about games, and mobile phone games in general, people are normally referring to this platform. J2ME games and applications are expected to function within the strict memory capabilities of the corresponding platform (application descriptors allow the runtime environment to know for which they are intended).

Memory footprints of MIDlets written for J2ME are typically quoted exclusive of the VM or base libraries - this is because they are often delivered to Java-enabled devices over the network. Footprint sizes average 10-64KB, with recent devices supporting up to 1MB MIDlets.

MIDlet are delivered as two files:
* a .jad MIDlet metadata descriptor
* a .jar MIDlet container, containing executable bytecode and any required resources

=== Hybrid Solutions ===

Other approaches include mixing and matching J2SE and J2ME in various ways. Standard methods include providing a compatibility layer on top of J2SE to allow it to run J2ME and expanding J2ME to provide more J2SE features.

== Implementations ==

=== J2SE implementations ===
* [http://www.cacaojvm.org/ Cacao] is a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which uses Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation to execute Java methods natively.

=== J2ME implementations ===
* [https://phoneme.dev.java.net/ PhoneME] is basically the code base of Sun's commercial Java ME implementation without those components that Sun can't --or won't-- release to the open source community. It is licensed under GPL2. There are actually two versions of PhoneME:
*;PhoneME Feature: is an implementation of the CLDC (Connected Limited Device Configuration) and MIDP2 (Mobile Information Device Profile) as is common on feature phones (e.g. 'normal', non-smart phones).
*;PhoneME Advanced: is an implementation of the more complex CDC (Connected Device Configuration), designed for more advanced handsets.
* [http://midpath.thenesis.org MIDPath] is a Java library which provides a MIDP2 implementation and can be used together with the CLDC version of the Cacao to provide an alternative implementation of CLDC/MIDP.

== Status on OpenMoko ==
[http://java-pkg.projects.openmoko.org/ Java-pkg] is a [http://projects.openmoko.org/ projects.openmoko.org] [http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/java-pkg/ project] whose aim it is to "Get Java going on OpenMoko, and once it's running, maintain it. There are two sub-projects, one for JME and one for JSE. Priority is currently given to JME CDC profile." There is currently a work-in-progress recipe for PhoneME Advanced in their SVN, which doesn't fully build, as well as a working recipe for PhoneME Feature, which only works directly on the Neo1973 framebuffer (e.g. you'll have to stop Xfbdev).

== Licensing ==

=== VM Licensing ===

=== MIDlet Licensing ===

== Links ==

Google should be your first port of call for most things Java as it would be impossible to give a comprehensive list of all the useful information out there. That being said, below is a selected list of further information resources.

=== J2SE Links ===

In 2006/7 Sun [[http://www.deviceforge.com/news/NS9280947932.html acquired the assets of Savaje]], which included a port of J2SE to ARM Linux. This was used to build the "JavaFX" modules and, in fact, it runs on the Neo1973 already. They used it to show JavaFX at the JavaOne 2007: http://java.sun.com/javaone/sf/media_shell.jsp?id=193609 See also http://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/entry/when_not_where

FAQ

2007-07-17T00:41:00Z

Idarwin: Move one question from the SH1 FAQ to the General FAQ.

Questions and Answers that don't seem to fit elsewhere

==Introduction==

=== Q: What is OpenMoko and Neo1973? ===
A: [[OpenMoko]] is a software platform, an attempt to create the world's first completely open mobile phone software stack. The [[FIC]] [[Neo1973]] is the first fully supported OpenMoko phone.

=== Q: I'm a ____ expert, can I join/help OpenMoko? ===

We would love to hear from you.

If you are interested in joining OpenMoko, please visit http://www.openmoko.com/contact-index.html and send us an e-mail. Or simply post a message to our community list if you just want to help.

=== Q: When can I buy a [[Neo1973]]? ===

A: Now - from https://direct.openmoko.com/. But please see "What will it do?" below first.

=== Q: How much? ===

A: Neo1973 GTA01B_v04: $300 for Neo Base, $450 for Neo Advanced. Available now. See [[Neo1973]] for what is included.

A: Neo1973 GTA02: $450 for Neo Base, $600 for Neo Advanced. Planned to be available Fall 2007. See [[Neo1973]] for list of hardware.

=== Q: What will it do? ===

A: For long answer see [[Developer preview]]

A: The Phase 1 phone is aimed at developers only. It is not suitable for end users, it will have basic functionality as a touchscreen phone. Little else will work, software development will continue till mass market release.

Those interested should:

* Know that there will be a device with faster cpu, gsm system etc. 4-5 months later (GTA02)
* Have fun hacking devices.
* Be able to find their way through prototype software and hardware without much documentation.
* Share the dream of a device powered by free software.
* Not expect a consumer-level device.
* Come up with new ideas for exploring the age of mobile computing.
* Have $300.

Ideally they also:

* Can spot bugs and submit patches.
* Love to cooperate with a community improving the software.

=== Q: Do I need Neo Advanced? ===

With Neo Base you can do:
* Kernel development.
* Application developemnt.
* Updating u-boot (equivalent to PC BIOS) using a tested image.
* Replace a non-booting kernel and/or rootfs using [[Dfu-util]].

With Neo Advanced you can additionally do:
* U-boot development.
* Use the kernel console.
* Unbrick your device if you flash a wrong or non-working u-boot image.

=== Q: I have a shipping related question ===

See [[SH1_FAQ|Shipment 1 FAQ]].

==Software==

=== Q: Can the software do/connect to/... ===
A: At the moment, the answer is in almost all cases no. The phone is at the moment a small linux box with a touchscreen, a working dialer and some prototype apps.
Most do not function in any way that would be suitable for users.
If you want to add a feature or application request, then look over the existing applications and either add one, or add a feature request to the applications page.

===What software is on the phone?===
At the moment, almost no 'end-user' applications are present and working in a usable state.
It is possible to make and receive calls.
====What software can be installed on the phone?====

=== Q: Is there description and list of OpenMoko software? ===

A: See [[OpenMoko]] and [[OpenMokoFramework]]

=== Q: Is it completely free software/open source? ===

A: User space [[Gpsd]] will use binary plugin for [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware#AGPS|Hammerhead AGPS]] and [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware#GSM.2FGPRS|GSM modem]] is separate subsystem connected to S3C2410 UART1. Otherwise it is completely free software. See [[MokoMakefile]] and [[Development resources]].

=== Q: How do I install and manage software on OpenMoko? ===

A: ipkg: http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Ipkg

=== Q: How can I compile programs for the Neo1973? ===

A: See [[Toolchain]].

=== Q: Is there an emulator available for OpenMoko? ===

For a lot of testing and development work, you don't actually need emulation as you can run OpenMoko on a normal PC too. The emulators also aren't 100% accurate. That being said, there are several emulation options as described in the following.

====QEMU====
QEMU can now emulate the Neo1973 device. The [[MokoMakefile]] has support for automatically building, flashing, and running [[OpenMoko under QEMU|the Neo1973 emulator]].

“make qemu” will build qemu-neo1973, download the latest official openmoko images, flash the images into the virtual NAND flash, and run the emulator.

====Xoo====
Another is [http://projects.o-hand.com/xoo Xoo]. Koen says: "Xoo should be enough for most apps people will develop, since most don't need access to the gsm uart directly. If you're hardcore you could use qemu + xoo, but that still doesn't emulate all the hardware quirks (e.g. unaligned access)".

Update: Stefan Schmidt has resized the [[Neo1973]] Mock-up and written a small description for xoo. In his words:

It's not really useable at all, as you need a really high screen resolution to fit the whole picture on your screen. And of course the dpi are wrong. Even no buttons because I can't remember where they are at the case.

http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/OpenMoko/neo1973-xoo-device.tar.bz2

Start with 'xoo --device /path/to/neo1973.xml'

Some more details [[Getting_Openmoko_working_on_host_with_Xoo|here]].

====Xephyr====
Or use Xephyr directly with locally compiled programs (e.g. matchbox svn + openmoko):
Xephyr -screen 480x640 -nolisten tcp -ac :1 &
export DISPLAY=:1
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
matchbox-window-manager -display $DISPLAY -use_titlebar no \
-use_super_modal yes -use_lowlight yes -use_dialog_mode static \
-use_cursor yes &
matchbox-panel --geometry=480x44 --end-applets=clock &
openmoko-footer &
openmoko-taskmanager &

=== Q: Where can I find some type of tutorial for a 'Hello, world' on OpenMoko? ===

A: This should get you started:
http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/

=== Q: Can PalmOS apps applications be ported to run on OpenMoko? ===

A: Making legacy apps written for the "Garnet" OS (née "Palm OS") run on Linux
is decidedly non-trivial. An emulator for this is going to be part of the
ACCESS Linux Platform.

PalmOS apps are in general very hard to simply 'port'. Particularly well-designed programs may make it possible.

The ACCESS Linux Platform will include Garnet on Host (GHost), a PalmOS emulator that will support M6800 (68k) and ARM PalmOS applications.

It is possible that POSE, an emulator that simulates a Palm device on a Linux host could be used to allow 68k based applications to run. This emulator has been around a long time; one expects that it will also run on OpenMoko, but this has to be considered a short-term bandaid rather than a long-term solution.

Palm's Linux distro is believed to contain a PalmOS compatibility environment that runs PalmOS apps, supposedly all of them and supposedly seamlessly. Little is known about how it works but if it's not too kludgy it should run unmodified on any ARM linux. It is not known what license it will be distributed under. This is believed to be used in future smartphones from Palm, Inc., but the Foleo is believe to not include PalmOS application support.

Hopefully emulation will be necessary only for M68000 code (pre-PalmOS 5) while native ARM programs can run natively under Linux, provided a proper set of PalmOS libraries and a .prc executable loader.

=== Q: Does it have Java? ===
A: It will have eventually, if you help us to get it working. Some good places to keep track of would be [http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/java-pkg/ projects.openmoko.org] and [https://phoneme.dev.java.net/ PhoneME].

=== Q: What are the relevant X11 details? ===

A: See [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-January/001353.html xdpyinfo output].

=== Q: Does OpenMoko run on any other hardware? ===

You can run it on your [[How_to_run_OpenMoko_Apps_on_PC|PC]]. There is work going on with [http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/weblog//archives/2007/02/#e2007-02-18T15_27_07.txt OpenEZX and HTC]. It's running on [http://dominion.kabel.utwente.nl/koen/cms/openmoko-running-on-an-ipaq iPaq hx4700], on a [http://hackndev.com/node/701 Palm TX] and on [http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/07/01/openmoko-on-a-treo-650/ PalmOne's Treo 650].

=== Q: What are the requirements to the hardware to run OpenMoko? (Would it run on the IXI ogo?) ===

=== Q: Why do you not build on top of the Maemo platform instead? ===

While I can't speak for the OpenMoko team, it's worth noting that maemo is fixed resolution only. That will, I've heard, change in the future, but it hasn't yet. Maemo's current layout is also optimized for wide screens, not tall narrow ones. Most third party maemo applications that are out there will need to be modified to work at different sizes. Finally, a number of the software components of the Nokia 770 and N800 are not open source. --gopi

To add up on that, according to Nokia, Maemo is designed to bring the "Desktop" experience to an Internet Tablet. A lot of Desktop paradigms just won't work on a phone. However, we really share a lot of the base-technology (gtk, dbus, eds, gconf, to name a few) with Maemo, so we are definitely not a reinvent-the-wheel team.

=== Q: Will it be possible to use popular VoIP applications such as Skype on the OpenMoko platform? ===

A: Perhaps. Hardware issues mean that it won't work well on the Neo1973. (the typical latency of GPRS is far too high). Also, Skype is a closed source application, which does not provide binaries that would be suitable to run on OpenMoko. Skype's vendor could of course choose to provide binaries for OpenMoko phones. However, many telephone providers' terms of service agreements preclude running VoIP over their baseline GSM service.

=== Q: Same question for Instant Messaging applications such as MSN Messenger? ===

A: Very probably. MSN is closed source and will only run where Microsoft wants you to run it. But there are many Open Source IM clients, many of which have a plugin architecture and so support the use of more than one IM protocol, even simultaneously. One example is [http://www.pidgin.im Pidgin, formerly called GAIM]. GPRS does induce a certain amount of latency but that should not be a problem for simple, text-oriented chat between parties. And the GTA02's WiFi will make it even better.

==Neo1973 Hardware==

=== Q: Is there description of [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973 Hardware]] ? ===

A: See [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973 Hardware]] and [[Disassembling Neo1973]]

=== Q: What are the dimensions? ===

A: 120.7 x 62 x 18.5 mm, It would fit entirely in a coke can. (4.75 * 2.4 * 0.72 ")

=== Q: How heavy is it? ===

A: 185g, (6.5 ounces).

=== Q: Does it have a camera? ===

A: No, see [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973]] for details on what it does include (and [[Wish List - Hardware]] for what some want in the future.) See also [[FAQ#USB]].

=== Q: What is the rationale behind the exclusion of WiFi? ===

A: No suitable low power open source WiFi device was available when the [[Neo1973]] was designed. A closed source WiFi device would have been restrictive for developers and users alike. See also [[FAQ#USB]].

See also:
[[Sean Moss-Pultz]]'s [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2006-November/000050.html comment on this]

[[Neo1973|Neo1973 GTA02]] will include WiFi.

=== Q: Does it have bluetooth? ===

A: Yes!

=== Q: Does it come with a stylus? ===

A: Yes, but there's no holder for it on the phone.

=== Q: Where are the buttons? ===

The power button is a small circular button, just next to the USB connector. [[Neo1973 Power button]]
The Auxilliary button is a rectangular button on the top left of the edge of the phone. (on black phones it looks just like an IRDA port). [[Neo1973 AUX button]]

=== Q: How do I input text? ===

A: Use provided keyboard app.

A: Use Bluetooth keyboard.

A: For more methods and ideas see [[Wishlist:Text_Input]].

=== Q: Can I record calls and/or play audio files in calls? ===

A: Yes, audio path from GSM to/from mic and speakers is completely controllable by user. For example recording calls (both sides) and implementing answering machine is possible. Also using text->speech should be possible or modifying outgoing voice. Currently there is no software bundled in phone to do this.

=== Q: What is the battery life? ===

A: There has been no word on this so far, but see [[Neo1973 Power Management#Approximate_power_draw_of_various_subsystems|these estimates]] for a rough idea. More information about the battery [[Neo1973 Battery|here]].

=== USB ===

==== Q: What can I do with the USB port on the Neo1973? ====
A: Charge the phone, communicate with it over USB-serial, or USB-networking.

A: Plug external devices, such as wifi, cameras, or mass-storage devices in.

==== Q: What can't I do with the USB? ====

The USB on the neo has no power output. This means that you cannot use USB bus powered devices without some sort of powered hub or cable.
This is due to the fact that adding a 5V power supply into the device would have added complexity, volume and cost.

Many powered USB devices don't work without at least a nominal amount of 5v power from the USB bus. A few powered USB hubs will work without 5v power from the host, but most powered ones need to have simple electrical modifications done to work.

==== Q: Why is only USB 1.1 provided? ====

A: The processor has USB 1.1 built in. One with USB2 built in would have been more expensive.

==== Q: Can the Neo charge and use devices on a USB hub at the same time? ====

A:
*When the Neo is connected to a device port on a USB hub, it will start charging. If the hub is a powered hub, then it will charge fast (3h), otherwise around 12h.

*If you plug the Neo into the host port of a USB hub you can use devices on that hub but the Neo will not charge. (Some/many USB hubs will not accept an unpowered host as valid, hence the need for the below cable.)
*This is because the host socket on USB hubs is not powered.

FIC product development is looking into providing something that
conveniently solves this problem.

The USB port on the Neo is not a properly compliant USB host port, all USB host ports must provide 5V - though powered devices or hubs may not draw any current from this, they may refuse to work. (The Belkin Tetrahub is an example of a hub that will not work.)

One solution is a three headed cable.

One end plugs into the Neo. One end plugs into a device port of a powered hub, or the Neo charger. One end plugs into the host port of a hub.

The Charger/USB device plug only has +5V and 0V connected in the simple cable, which are connected to the other ends.

For a more complex cable, when the host socket is not plugged in, the cable acts as a simple USB cable.

==== Q: What are the details of the USB port on the [[Neo1973]]? How does it compare to USB On-The-Go? ====

A: The [[Neo1973]] will have mini-USB-B, and will be able to function as either a host or a device. It will NOT be USB On-The-Go. OTG is a complex specification, and it comprises way more than just
a AB socket, but also electrical and software components which cannot be provide by the S3C2410.

You will need a special Mini-B to regular-B cable (note that this won't actually comply with the USB standard: a compliant cable has to have an A or Mini-A plug on one end, and B or Mini-B on the other).

=== Q: Are there any LEDs on the Neo 1973? ===

A: The [[Neo1973]] v1 will have no LEDs besides the screen backlight.

=== Q: Will a JTAG port be made available? ===

A: The "Hacker's Lunchbox" in Advanced version will make this kind of stuff easy.

There are [[Neo1973_Hardware#Changes_from_GTA01Bv3|exposed I2C, SPI and debug board connectors]] inside case in all versions and [[Debug Board|Debug Board v2]] (JTAG and serial console) in Advanced version. [[Connecting Neo1973 with Debug Board v2]] explains how to connect it to the phone.

=== Q: What can we expect in future versions? ===

A: A faster CPU, faster GSM (EDGE?) perhaps even powered USB port, USB2, wifi, and camera. No details have been released yet. More details of hardware upgrades should be available sometime in May. There will also be 5 more OpenMoko devices - some not phones in the traditional sense - announced by FIC in September.

==Networking/Connectivity==

=== Q: What kind of connectivity? ===

A: Quad-band GSM, GPRS Class12/CS4 2.5G (Not EDGE), Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, USB in all versions. WiFi: Atheros AR6K in [[Neo1973|GTA02]]. (No 3G in year 2007 models)

=== Q: Can I bridge to an Ethernet (wired or unwired) network via a suitable Bluetooth enabled router? ===

A: Yes - see [http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Configure_a_bluetooth_network_access_point this howto for how to configure a linux computer to act as such a router] and [[Bluetooth Support]].

=== Q: What providers provide the GSM required for Neo1973? ===

A: See [[Neo1973 compatible cellphone providers]]

=== Q: Will OpenMoko "Just Work" with Mac OS X? ===

A: There has been some discussion of this on the mailing list. There is motivation, and there are interested developers.
Not being a Mac OS X user, I don't know enough
to summarize the discussion to answer this question. Can someone please fill in?

A: For IP over USB cable connectivity, it is planned to improve/adapt the AJZaurusUSB driver, allowing ssh into the OpenMoko.

A: It is expected that (Bluetooth/UB) SyncML based interoperation for
contacts and events can easily be achieved by a patch
to the Apple iSync configuration tables.

A: There is an open source implementation of Cocoa (GNUstep) that aims to run MacOS X compatible applications (sort of
PPC/x86/ARM universal binaries) on OpenMoko devices: mySTEP.

==Misc==

=== Q: On the lists on lists.openmoko.org, should replies be added above or below the original text? ===

A: Please reply UNDER post.

=== Q: How can I find out if a question or topic has already been discussed on the mailing lists? ===

A: By searching the mailing list archives. For example, using Google searches:

site:openmoko.org text

For example, to search for accelerometer:

site:openmoko.org accelerometer

If you only want to read the "official" mails from FIC people or from OpenMoko people:

site:openmoko.org text "at fic.com.tw"
site:openmoko.org text "at openmoko.org"

For example to search for "release date" from FIC people:

site:openmoko.org "release date" "at fic.com.tw"

Idarwin: /* Q: When can I buy a Neo1973? */ - add link.

Questions and Answers that don't seem to fit elsewhere

==Introduction==

=== Q: What is OpenMoko and Neo1973? ===
A: [[OpenMoko]] is a software platform, an attempt to create the world's first completely open mobile phone software stack. The [[FIC]] [[Neo1973]] is the first fully supported OpenMoko phone.

=== Q: When can I buy a [[Neo1973]]? ===

A: Now - from https://direct.openmoko.com/. But please see "What will it do?" below first.

=== Q: How much? ===

A: Neo1973 GTA01B_v04: $300 for Neo Base, $450 for Neo Advanced. Available now. See [[Neo1973]] for what is included.

A: Neo1973 GTA02: $450 for Neo Base, $600 for Neo Advanced. Planned to be available Fall 2007. See [[Neo1973]] for list of hardware.

=== Q: What will it do? ===

A: For long answer see [[Developer preview]]

A: The Phase 1 phone is aimed at developers only. It is not suitable for end users, it will have basic functionality as a touchscreen phone. Little else will work, software development will continue till mass market release.

Those interested should:

* Know that there will be a device with faster cpu, gsm system etc. 4-5 months later (GTA02)
* Have fun hacking devices.
* Be able to find their way through prototype software and hardware without much documentation.
* Share the dream of a device powered by free software.
* Not expect a consumer-level device.
* Come up with new ideas for exploring the age of mobile computing.
* Have $300.

Ideally they also:

* Can spot bugs and submit patches.
* Love to cooperate with a community improving the software.

=== Q: Do I need Neo Advanced? ===

With Neo Base you can do:
* Kernel development.
* Application developemnt.
* Updating u-boot (equivalent to PC BIOS) using a tested image.
* Replace a non-booting kernel and/or rootfs using [[Dfu-util]].

With Neo Advanced you can additionally do:
* U-boot development.
* Use the kernel console.
* Unbrick your device if you flash a wrong or non-working u-boot image.

=== Q: I have a shipping related question ===

See [[SH1_FAQ|Shipment 1 FAQ]].

==Software==

=== Q: Can the software do/connect to/... ===
A: At the moment, the answer is in almost all cases no. The phone is at the moment a small linux box with a touchscreen, a working dialer and some prototype apps.
Most do not function in any way that would be suitable for users.
If you want to add a feature or application request, then look over the existing applications and either add one, or add a feature request to the applications page.

===What software is on the phone?===
At the moment, almost no 'end-user' applications are present and working in a usable state.
It is possible to make and receive calls.
====What software can be installed on the phone?====

=== Q: Is there description and list of OpenMoko software? ===

A: See [[OpenMoko]] and [[OpenMokoFramework]]

=== Q: Is it completely free software/open source? ===

A: User space [[Gpsd]] will use binary plugin for [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware#AGPS|Hammerhead AGPS]] and [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware#GSM.2FGPRS|GSM modem]] is separate subsystem connected to S3C2410 UART1. Otherwise it is completely free software. See [[MokoMakefile]] and [[Development resources]].

=== Q: How do I install and manage software on OpenMoko? ===

A: ipkg: http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Ipkg

=== Q: How can I compile programs for the Neo1973? ===

A: See [[Toolchain]].

=== Q: Is there an emulator available for OpenMoko? ===

For a lot of testing and development work, you don't actually need emulation as you can run OpenMoko on a normal PC too. The emulators also aren't 100% accurate. That being said, there are several emulation options as described in the following.

====QEMU====
QEMU can now emulate the Neo1973 device. The [[MokoMakefile]] has support for automatically building, flashing, and running [[OpenMoko under QEMU|the Neo1973 emulator]].

“make qemu” will build qemu-neo1973, download the latest official openmoko images, flash the images into the virtual NAND flash, and run the emulator.

====Xoo====
Another is [http://projects.o-hand.com/xoo Xoo]. Koen says: "Xoo should be enough for most apps people will develop, since most don't need access to the gsm uart directly. If you're hardcore you could use qemu + xoo, but that still doesn't emulate all the hardware quirks (e.g. unaligned access)".

Update: Stefan Schmidt has resized the [[Neo1973]] Mock-up and written a small description for xoo. In his words:

It's not really useable at all, as you need a really high screen resolution to fit the whole picture on your screen. And of course the dpi are wrong. Even no buttons because I can't remember where they are at the case.

http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/OpenMoko/neo1973-xoo-device.tar.bz2

Start with 'xoo --device /path/to/neo1973.xml'

Some more details [[Getting_Openmoko_working_on_host_with_Xoo|here]].

====Xephyr====
Or use Xephyr directly with locally compiled programs (e.g. matchbox svn + openmoko):
Xephyr -screen 480x640 -nolisten tcp -ac :1 &
export DISPLAY=:1
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
matchbox-window-manager -display $DISPLAY -use_titlebar no \
-use_super_modal yes -use_lowlight yes -use_dialog_mode static \
-use_cursor yes &
matchbox-panel --geometry=480x44 --end-applets=clock &
openmoko-footer &
openmoko-taskmanager &

=== Q: Where can I find some type of tutorial for a 'Hello, world' on OpenMoko? ===

A: This should get you started:
http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/

=== Q: Can PalmOS apps applications be ported to run on OpenMoko? ===

A: Making legacy apps written for the "Garnet" OS (née "Palm OS") run on Linux
is decidedly non-trivial. An emulator for this is going to be part of the
ACCESS Linux Platform.

PalmOS apps are in general very hard to simply 'port'. Particularly well-designed programs may make it possible.

The ACCESS Linux Platform will include Garnet on Host (GHost), a PalmOS emulator that will support M6800 (68k) and ARM PalmOS applications.

It is possible that POSE, an emulator that simulates a Palm device on a Linux host could be used to allow 68k based applications to run. This emulator has been around a long time; one expects that it will also run on OpenMoko, but this has to be considered a short-term bandaid rather than a long-term solution.

Palm's Linux distro is believed to contain a PalmOS compatibility environment that runs PalmOS apps, supposedly all of them and supposedly seamlessly. Little is known about how it works but if it's not too kludgy it should run unmodified on any ARM linux. It is not known what license it will be distributed under. This is believed to be used in future smartphones from Palm, Inc., but the Foleo is believe to not include PalmOS application support.

Hopefully emulation will be necessary only for M68000 code (pre-PalmOS 5) while native ARM programs can run natively under Linux, provided a proper set of PalmOS libraries and a .prc executable loader.

=== Q: Does it have Java? ===
A: It will have eventually, if you help us to get it working. Some good places to keep track of would be [http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/java-pkg/ projects.openmoko.org] and [https://phoneme.dev.java.net/ PhoneME].

=== Q: What are the relevant X11 details? ===

A: See [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-January/001353.html xdpyinfo output].

=== Q: Does OpenMoko run on any other hardware? ===

You can run it on your [[How_to_run_OpenMoko_Apps_on_PC|PC]]. There is work going on with [http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/weblog//archives/2007/02/#e2007-02-18T15_27_07.txt OpenEZX and HTC]. It's running on [http://dominion.kabel.utwente.nl/koen/cms/openmoko-running-on-an-ipaq iPaq hx4700], on a [http://hackndev.com/node/701 Palm TX] and on [http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/07/01/openmoko-on-a-treo-650/ PalmOne's Treo 650].

=== Q: What are the requirements to the hardware to run OpenMoko? (Would it run on the IXI ogo?) ===

=== Q: Why do you not build on top of the Maemo platform instead? ===

While I can't speak for the OpenMoko team, it's worth noting that maemo is fixed resolution only. That will, I've heard, change in the future, but it hasn't yet. Maemo's current layout is also optimized for wide screens, not tall narrow ones. Most third party maemo applications that are out there will need to be modified to work at different sizes. Finally, a number of the software components of the Nokia 770 and N800 are not open source. --gopi

To add up on that, according to Nokia, Maemo is designed to bring the "Desktop" experience to an Internet Tablet. A lot of Desktop paradigms just won't work on a phone. However, we really share a lot of the base-technology (gtk, dbus, eds, gconf, to name a few) with Maemo, so we are definitely not a reinvent-the-wheel team.

=== Q: Will it be possible to use popular VoIP applications such as Skype on the OpenMoko platform? ===

A: Perhaps. Hardware issues mean that it won't work well on the Neo1973. (the typical latency of GPRS is far too high). Also, Skype is a closed source application, which does not provide binaries that would be suitable to run on OpenMoko. Skype's vendor could of course choose to provide binaries for OpenMoko phones. However, many telephone providers' terms of service agreements preclude running VoIP over their baseline GSM service.

=== Q: Same question for Instant Messaging applications such as MSN Messenger? ===

A: Very probably. MSN is closed source and will only run where Microsoft wants you to run it. But there are many Open Source IM clients, many of which have a plugin architecture and so support the use of more than one IM protocol, even simultaneously. One example is [http://www.pidgin.im Pidgin, formerly called GAIM]. GPRS does induce a certain amount of latency but that should not be a problem for simple, text-oriented chat between parties. And the GTA02's WiFi will make it even better.

==Neo1973 Hardware==

=== Q: Is there description of [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973 Hardware]] ? ===

A: See [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973 Hardware]] and [[Disassembling Neo1973]]

=== Q: What are the dimensions? ===

A: 120.7 x 62 x 18.5 mm, It would fit entirely in a coke can. (4.75 * 2.4 * 0.72 ")

=== Q: How heavy is it? ===

A: 185g, (6.5 ounces).

=== Q: Does it have a camera? ===

A: No, see [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973]] for details on what it does include (and [[Wish List - Hardware]] for what some want in the future.) See also [[FAQ#USB]].

=== Q: What is the rationale behind the exclusion of WiFi? ===

A: No suitable low power open source WiFi device was available when the [[Neo1973]] was designed. A closed source WiFi device would have been restrictive for developers and users alike. See also [[FAQ#USB]].

See also:
[[Sean Moss-Pultz]]'s [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2006-November/000050.html comment on this]

[[Neo1973|Neo1973 GTA02]] will include WiFi.

=== Q: Does it have bluetooth? ===

A: Yes!

=== Q: Does it come with a stylus? ===

A: Yes, but there's no holder for it on the phone.

=== Q: Where are the buttons? ===

The power button is a small circular button, just next to the USB connector. [[Neo1973 Power button]]
The Auxilliary button is a rectangular button on the top left of the edge of the phone. (on black phones it looks just like an IRDA port). [[Neo1973 AUX button]]

=== Q: How do I input text? ===

A: Use provided keyboard app.

A: Use Bluetooth keyboard.

A: For more methods and ideas see [[Wishlist:Text_Input]].

=== Q: Can I record calls and/or play audio files in calls? ===

A: Yes, audio path from GSM to/from mic and speakers is completely controllable by user. For example recording calls (both sides) and implementing answering machine is possible. Also using text->speech should be possible or modifying outgoing voice. Currently there is no software bundled in phone to do this.

=== Q: What is the battery life? ===

A: There has been no word on this so far, but see [[Neo1973 Power Management#Approximate_power_draw_of_various_subsystems|these estimates]] for a rough idea. More information about the battery [[Neo1973 Battery|here]].

=== USB ===

==== Q: What can I do with the USB port on the Neo1973? ====
A: Charge the phone, communicate with it over USB-serial, or USB-networking.

A: Plug external devices, such as wifi, cameras, or mass-storage devices in.

==== Q: What can't I do with the USB? ====

The USB on the neo has no power output. This means that you cannot use USB bus powered devices without some sort of powered hub or cable.
This is due to the fact that adding a 5V power supply into the device would have added complexity, volume and cost.

Many powered USB devices don't work without at least a nominal amount of 5v power from the USB bus. A few powered USB hubs will work without 5v power from the host, but most powered ones need to have simple electrical modifications done to work.

==== Q: Why is only USB 1.1 provided? ====

A: The processor has USB 1.1 built in. One with USB2 built in would have been more expensive.

==== Q: Can the Neo charge and use devices on a USB hub at the same time? ====

A:
*When the Neo is connected to a device port on a USB hub, it will start charging. If the hub is a powered hub, then it will charge fast (3h), otherwise around 12h.

*If you plug the Neo into the host port of a USB hub you can use devices on that hub but the Neo will not charge. (Some/many USB hubs will not accept an unpowered host as valid, hence the need for the below cable.)
*This is because the host socket on USB hubs is not powered.

FIC product development is looking into providing something that
conveniently solves this problem.

The USB port on the Neo is not a properly compliant USB host port, all USB host ports must provide 5V - though powered devices or hubs may not draw any current from this, they may refuse to work. (The Belkin Tetrahub is an example of a hub that will not work.)

One solution is a three headed cable.

One end plugs into the Neo. One end plugs into a device port of a powered hub, or the Neo charger. One end plugs into the host port of a hub.

The Charger/USB device plug only has +5V and 0V connected in the simple cable, which are connected to the other ends.

For a more complex cable, when the host socket is not plugged in, the cable acts as a simple USB cable.

==== Q: What are the details of the USB port on the [[Neo1973]]? How does it compare to USB On-The-Go? ====

A: The [[Neo1973]] will have mini-USB-B, and will be able to function as either a host or a device. It will NOT be USB On-The-Go. OTG is a complex specification, and it comprises way more than just
a AB socket, but also electrical and software components which cannot be provide by the S3C2410.

You will need a special Mini-B to regular-B cable (note that this won't actually comply with the USB standard: a compliant cable has to have an A or Mini-A plug on one end, and B or Mini-B on the other).

=== Q: Are there any LEDs on the Neo 1973? ===

A: The [[Neo1973]] v1 will have no LEDs besides the screen backlight.

=== Q: Will a JTAG port be made available? ===

A: The "Hacker's Lunchbox" in Advanced version will make this kind of stuff easy.

There are [[Neo1973_Hardware#Changes_from_GTA01Bv3|exposed I2C, SPI and debug board connectors]] inside case in all versions and [[Debug Board|Debug Board v2]] (JTAG and serial console) in Advanced version. [[Connecting Neo1973 with Debug Board v2]] explains how to connect it to the phone.

=== Q: What can we expect in future versions? ===

A: A faster CPU, faster GSM (EDGE?) perhaps even powered USB port, USB2, wifi, and camera. No details have been released yet. More details of hardware upgrades should be available sometime in May. There will also be 5 more OpenMoko devices - some not phones in the traditional sense - announced by FIC in September.

==Networking/Connectivity==

=== Q: What kind of connectivity? ===

A: Quad-band GSM, GPRS Class12/CS4 2.5G (Not EDGE), Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, USB in all versions. WiFi: Atheros AR6K in [[Neo1973|GTA02]]. (No 3G in year 2007 models)

=== Q: Can I bridge to an Ethernet (wired or unwired) network via a suitable Bluetooth enabled router? ===

A: Yes - see [http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Configure_a_bluetooth_network_access_point this howto for how to configure a linux computer to act as such a router] and [[Bluetooth Support]].

=== Q: What providers provide the GSM required for Neo1973? ===

A: See [[Neo1973 compatible cellphone providers]]

=== Q: Will OpenMoko "Just Work" with Mac OS X? ===

A: There has been some discussion of this on the mailing list. There is motivation, and there are interested developers.
Not being a Mac OS X user, I don't know enough
to summarize the discussion to answer this question. Can someone please fill in?

A: For IP over USB cable connectivity, it is planned to improve/adapt the AJZaurusUSB driver, allowing ssh into the OpenMoko.

A: It is expected that (Bluetooth/UB) SyncML based interoperation for
contacts and events can easily be achieved by a patch
to the Apple iSync configuration tables.

A: There is an open source implementation of Cocoa (GNUstep) that aims to run MacOS X compatible applications (sort of
PPC/x86/ARM universal binaries) on OpenMoko devices: mySTEP.

==Misc==

=== Q: On the lists on lists.openmoko.org, should replies be added above or below the original text? ===

A: Please reply UNDER post.

=== Q: How can I find out if a question or topic has already been discussed on the mailing lists? ===

A: By searching the mailing list archives. For example, using Google searches:

site:openmoko.org text

For example, to search for accelerometer:

site:openmoko.org accelerometer

If you only want to read the "official" mails from FIC people or from OpenMoko people:

site:openmoko.org text "at fic.com.tw"
site:openmoko.org text "at openmoko.org"

For example to search for "release date" from FIC people:

site:openmoko.org "release date" "at fic.com.tw"

Flashing the Neo 1973

2007-07-15T20:13:01Z

Idarwin: Tweak applicability of flashing uboot.

This describes how to update your openmoko to the latest software. We'll update the kernel, the root filesystem and optionally u-boot (new uboot is only recommended for Phase0 phones, because otherwise you get kernel crashes later; you should probably not flash uboot on a Phase 1 phone without a very good reason).

== Files to download ==

Neccessary files are at http://buildhost.openmoko.org/tmp/deploy/images/ (the precompiled [[dfu-util]] binary there is for Linux/i386, you may need to compile your own for other platforms).

Get:
* [[dfu-util]]
* openmoko-devel-image-fic-gta01-20070501054014.rootfs.jffs2
* uImage-2.6.21.1-moko10-r0_0_1883_0-fic-gta01.bin
* for phase 0 (Bv03) phones:
** Tested by a few people: u-boot-gta01bv3-r8_70124c2602ae2d4c5d3dba05b482d91548242de8_0_2040.bin MD5SUM: 60c5aeba1bd6642b05b3a5e6f2dafe83
** Tested by hrw: u-boot-gta01bv3-r8_70124c2602ae2d4c5d3dba05b482d91548242de8_0_2062.bin MD5SUM: 716f1eba9b0f2be4a0a3be4a56724935
* for phase 1 phones, uboot update should not be neccessary.

You may want to take the latest versions.

== Putting the device into DFU mode ==

You'll need to boot your openmoko into uboot menu (hold AUX button while pressing power button). Unplug all other usb devices from the host. Plug the phone directly into the host not via a hub.

It also seems that once you've booted your openmoko into the uboot menu, you then should plug it into the USB port. It should show a status message when you do so in terms of "Switching to DFU mode".

== Actually flashing things into the device ==

Double check that u-boot matches your hardware version. Flashing u-boot is really a critical part. You probably only want to do that on phase0 phones.

To update u-boot:

Warning: Do not update u-boot unless you have debug board or are really sure about what you are doing. Flashing wrong u-boot image will brick your device! Note especially that image below is for GTA01B_v03, not GTA01B_v04

./dfu-util -a 1 -R -D u-boot-gta01bv3-r8_70124c2602ae2d4c5d3dba05b482d91548242de8_0_2040.bin

To update the kernel:
./dfu-util -a 3 -R -D ./uImage-2.6.21.1-moko10-r0_0_1883_0-fic-gta01.bin

To update the root filesystem:
./dfu-util -a 5 -R -D ./openmoko-devel-image-fic-gta01-20070501054014.rootfs.jffs2

...now, you'll end up with system that boots, but does not see audio/SD card. You'll need to download corresponding modules.tgz and copy them over to openmoko.

Old versions of uboot are buggy: You may have to press the aux button few times so that machine does not sleep while flashing. It also does not erase rootfs before flashing it... to do that, do minicom /dev/ttyACM0, then nand erase clean rootfs . Unfortunately, old versions of uboot are not really usable, because they fail to enable high 64MB of RAM, and you get nasty crashes after kernel boots.

Good luck!

== Troubleshooting notes ==

If you're facing errors in seemingly random places during the flashing of images, most likely the USB hub or cable through which your Neo1973 is connected, is of too poor quality. It is recommended that you always connect the phone directly to the host when using dfu-util.

If dfu-util reports a message like the following, before it starts flashing:<pre>
Resetting USB...
not at least 2 device changes found ?!?
Lost device after RESET?</pre> just retry the command - it should work on a second run.

See other notes on [[Dfu-util]] page.

[[Image:FIC-neo1973_small.jpg|200px|right|frontside]]
[[OpenMoko]] is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source Open Source] project to create the world's first free mobile phone operating system.

The [[OpenMoko]] project is a community that anyone can join, to help design their ideal phone.

The long term goal is that phone software won't be tied to any particular phone. You can install any OpenMoko software over the whole range of phones, and if you upgrade your phone, you don't lose the software. Bugs fixed on one phone are fixed on all. To show that OpenMoko the phone stack is not tied to the Neo1973 phone hardware, here is a report from somebody who seems to have OpenMoko [http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/07/01/openmoko-on-a-treo-650/ up and limping on the Palm Treo650]!

''Currently it is not suitable for users.'' The state of the software at the moment is pre-alpha. If you order a Neo1973, DO NOT expect to be able to use it as an everyday phone for several months.

The [[Neo1973]] from [[FIC]] is the first of many phones that [[OpenMoko]] will run on; indeed, some people erroneously use the terms Neo1973 and OpenMoko as interchangeable. If you are willing to have the alpha test experience, you can order Neo1973 hardware now from the [https://direct.openmoko.com/ Openmoko Online Shop]. You may wish to see the [[SH1 FAQ|Shipment 1 FAQ]].

Please see the [[Help:Contents | wiki editing help page]] for information on making contributions to this wiki. A [[Meet the Core Team | core team of developers funded by FIC, Inc.]] leads the project.

An [[introduction]] page is available, with [[Introduction#Photos|photos]] and [[Introduction#Videos|videos]]. Moreover, the usual [[FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ, page]] might be helpful. Developers may find the [[ChangeLog | daily software change log]] an important resource.

Idarwin: /* Q: How much? - add dates */

Questions and Answers that don't seem to fit elsewhere

==Introduction==

=== Q: What is OpenMoko and Neo1973? ===
A: [[OpenMoko]] is a software platform, an attempt to create the world's first completely open mobile phone software stack. The [[FIC]] [[Neo1973]] is the first fully supported OpenMoko phone.

=== Q: When can I buy a [[Neo1973]]? ===

A: Now - from https://direct.openmoko.com/

=== Q: How much? ===

A: Neo1973 GTA01B_v04: $300 for Neo Base, $450 for Neo Advanced. Available now. See [[Neo1973]] for what is included.

A: Neo1973 GTA02: $450 for Neo Base, $600 for Neo Advanced. Planned to be available Fall 2007. See [[Neo1973]] for list of hardware.

=== Q: What will it do? ===

A: The Phase 1 phone is aimed at developers only. It is not suitable for end users, it will have basic functionality as a touchscreen phone. Little else will work, software development will continue till mass market release.

Those interested should:

* Know that there will be a device with faster cpu, gsm system etc. 4-5 months later (GTA02)
* Have fun hacking devices.
* Be able to find their way through prototype software and hardware without much documentation.
* Share the dream of a device powered by free software.
* Not expect a consumer-level device.
* Come up with new ideas for exploring the age of mobile computing.
* Have $300.

Ideally they also:

* Can spot bugs and submit patches.
* Love to cooperate with a community improving the software.

=== Q: Do I need Neo Advanced? ===

With Neo Base you can do:
* Kernel development.
* Application developemnt.
* Updating u-boot (equivalent to PC BIOS) using a tested image.
* Replace a non-booting kernel and/or rootfs using [[Dfu-util]].

With Neo Advanced you can additionally do:
* U-boot development.
* Use the kernel console.
* Unbrick your device if you flash a wrong or non-working u-boot image.

==Software==

=== Q: Can the software do/connect to/... ===
A: At the moment, the answer is in almost all cases no. The phone is at the moment a small linux box with a touchscreen, a working dialer and some prototype apps.
Most do not function in any way that would be suitable for users.
If you want to add a feature or application request, then look over the existing applications and either add one, or add a feature request to the applications page.

===What software is on the phone?===
At the moment, almost no 'end-user' applications are present and working in a usable state.
It is possible to make and receive calls.
====What software can be installed on the phone?====

=== Q: Is there description and list of OpenMoko software? ===

A: See [[OpenMoko]] and [[OpenMokoFramework]]

=== Q: Is it completely free software/open source? ===

A: User space [[Gpsd]] will use binary plugin for [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware#AGPS|Hammerhead AGPS]] and [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware#GSM.2FGPRS|GSM modem]] is separate subsystem connected to S3C2410 UART1. Otherwise it is completely free software. See [[MokoMakefile]] and [[Development resources]].

=== Q: How do I install and manage software on OpenMoko? ===

A: ipkg: http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Ipkg

=== Q: How can I compile programs for the Neo1973? ===

A: See [[Toolchain]].

=== Q: Is there an emulator available for OpenMoko? ===

*XorA guesses that if your first question is "is there an emulator"
then you're not actually ever going to do dev work :-)

====QEMU====
QEMU can now emulate the Neo1973 device. The [[MokoMakefile]] has support for automatically building, flashing, and running [[OpenMoko under QEMU|the Neo1973 emulator]].

“make qemu” will build qemu-neo1973, download the latest official openmoko images, flash the images into the virtual NAND flash, and run the emulator.

====Xoo====
Another is [http://projects.o-hand.com/xoo Xoo]. Koen says: "Xoo should be enough for most apps people will develop, since most don't need access to the gsm uart directly. If you're hardcore you could use qemu + xoo, but that still doesn't emulate all the hardware quirks (e.g. unaligned access)".

Update: Stefan Schmidt has resized the [[Neo1973]] Mock-up and written a small description for xoo. In his words:

It's not really useable at all, as you need a really high screen resolution to fit the whole picture on your screen. And of course the dpi are wrong. Even no buttons because I can't remember where they are at the case.

http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/OpenMoko/neo1973-xoo-device.tar.bz2

Start with 'xoo --device /path/to/neo1973.xml'

Some more details [[Getting_Openmoko_working_on_host_with_Xoo|here]].

====Xephyr====
Or use Xephyr directly with locally compiled programs (e.g. matchbox svn + openmoko):
Xephyr -screen 480x640 -nolisten tcp -ac :1 &
export DISPLAY=:1
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
matchbox-window-manager -display $DISPLAY -use_titlebar no \
-use_super_modal yes -use_lowlight yes -use_dialog_mode static \
-use_cursor yes &
matchbox-panel --geometry=480x44 --end-applets=clock &
openmoko-footer &
openmoko-taskmanager &

=== Q: Where can I find some type of tutorial for a 'Hello, world' on OpenMoko? ===

A: This should get you started:
http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/

=== Q: Can PalmOS apps applications be ported to run on OpenMoko? ===

A: Making legacy apps written for the "Garnet" OS (née "Palm OS") run on Linux
is decidedly non-trivial. An emulator for this is going to be part of the
ACCESS Linux Platform.

PalmOS apps are in general very hard to simply 'port'. Particularly well-designed programs may make it possible.

The ACCESS Linux Platform will include Garnet on Host (GHost), a PalmOS emulator that will support M6800 (68k) and ARM PalmOS applications.

It is possible that POSE, an emulator that simulates a Palm device on a Linux host could be used to allow 68k based applications to run. This emulator has been around a long time; one expects that it will also run on OpenMoko, but this has to be considered a short-term bandaid rather than a long-term solution.

Palm's Linux distro is believed to contain a PalmOS compatibility environment that runs PalmOS apps, supposedly all of them and supposedly seamlessly. Little is known about how it works but if it's not too kludgy it should run unmodified on any ARM linux. It is not known what license it will be distributed under. This is believed to be used in future smartphones from Palm, Inc., but the Foleo is believe to not include PalmOS application support.

Hopefully emulation will be necessary only for M68000 code (pre-PalmOS 5) while native ARM programs can run natively under Linux, provided a proper set of PalmOS libraries and a .prc executable loader.

=== Q: Does it have Java? ===
A: It will have eventually, if you help us to get it working. Some good places to keep track of would be [http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/java-pkg/ projects.openmoko.org] and [https://phoneme.dev.java.net/ PhoneME].

=== Q: What are the relevant X11 details? ===

A: See [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-January/001353.html xdpyinfo output].

=== Q: Does OpenMoko run on any other hardware? ===

You can run it on your [[How_to_run_OpenMoko_Apps_on_PC|PC]]. There is work going on with [http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/weblog//archives/2007/02/#e2007-02-18T15_27_07.txt OpenEZX and HTC]. It's running on [http://dominion.kabel.utwente.nl/koen/cms/openmoko-running-on-an-ipaq iPaq hx4700], on a [http://hackndev.com/node/701 Palm TX] and on [http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/07/01/openmoko-on-a-treo-650/ PalmOne's Treo 650].

=== Q: What are the requirements to the hardware to run OpenMoko? (Would it run on the IXI ogo?) ===

=== Q: Why do you not build on top of the Maemo platform instead? ===

While I can't speak for the OpenMoko team, it's worth noting that maemo is fixed resolution only. That will, I've heard, change in the future, but it hasn't yet. Maemo's current layout is also optimized for wide screens, not tall narrow ones. Most third party maemo applications that are out there will need to be modified to work at different sizes. Finally, a number of the software components of the Nokia 770 and N800 are not open source. --gopi

To add up on that, according to Nokia, Maemo is designed to bring the "Desktop" experience to an Internet Tablet. A lot of Desktop paradigms just won't work on a phone. However, we really share a lot of the base-technology (gtk, dbus, eds, gconf, to name a few) with Maemo, so we are definitely not a reinvent-the-wheel team.

=== Q: Will it be possible to use popular VoIP applications such as Skype on the OpenMoko platform? ===

A: Perhaps. Hardware issues mean that it won't work well on the Neo1973. (the typical latency of GPRS is far too high). Also, Skype is a closed source application, which does not provide binaries that would be suitable to run on OpenMoko. Skype's vendor could of course choose to provide binaries for OpenMoko phones. However, many telephone providers' terms of service agreements preclude running VoIP over their baseline GSM service.

=== Q: Same question for Instant Messaging applications such as MSN Messenger? ===

A: Very probably. MSN is closed source and will only run where Microsoft wants you to run it. But there are many Open Source IM clients, many of which have a plugin architecture and so support the use of more than one IM protocol, even simultaneously. One example is [http://www.pidgin.im Pidgin, formerly called GAIM]. GPRS does induce a certain amount of latency but that should not be a problem for simple, text-oriented chat between parties. And the GTA02's WiFi will make it even better.

==Neo1973 Hardware==

=== Q: Is there description of [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973 Hardware]] ? ===

A: See [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973 Hardware]] and [[Disassembling Neo1973]]

=== Q: What are the dimensions? ===

A: 120.7 x 62 x 18.5 mm, It would fit entirely in a coke can. (4.75 * 2.4 * 0.72 ")

=== Q: How heavy is it? ===

A: 185g, (6.5 ounces).

=== Q: Does it have a camera? ===

A: No, see [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973]] for details on what it does include (and [[Wish List - Hardware]] for what some want in the future.) See also [[FAQ#USB]].

=== Q: What is the rationale behind the exclusion of WiFi? ===

A: No suitable low power open source WiFi device was available when the [[Neo1973]] was designed. A closed source WiFi device would have been restrictive for developers and users alike. See also [[FAQ#USB]].

See also:
[[Sean Moss-Pultz]]'s [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2006-November/000050.html comment on this]

[[Neo1973|Neo1973 GTA02]] will include WiFi.

=== Q: Does it have bluetooth? ===

A: Yes!

=== Q: Does it come with a stylus? ===

A: Yes, but there's no holder for it on the phone.

=== Q: Where are the buttons? ===

The power button is a small circular button, just next to the USB connector. [[Neo1973 Power button]]
The Auxilliary button is a rectangular button on the top left of the edge of the phone. (on black phones it looks just like an IRDA port). [[Neo1973 AUX button]]

=== Q: How do I input text? ===

A: Use provided keyboard app.

A: Use Bluetooth keyboard.

A: For more methods and ideas see [[Wishlist:Text_Input]].

=== Q: Can I record calls and/or play audio files in calls? ===

A: Yes, audio path from GSM to/from mic and speakers is completely controllable by user. For example recording calls (both sides) and implementing answering machine is possible. Also using text->speech should be possible or modifying outgoing voice. Currently there is no software bundled in phone to do this.

=== Q: What is the battery life? ===

A: There has been no word on this so far, but see [[Neo1973 Power Management#Approximate_power_draw_of_various_subsystems|these estimates]] for a rough idea. More information about the battery [[Neo1973 Battery|here]].

=== USB ===

==== Q: What can I do with the USB port on the Neo1973? ====
A: Charge the phone, communicate with it over USB-serial, or USB-networking.

A: Plug external devices, such as wifi, cameras, or mass-storage devices in.

==== Q: What can't I do with the USB? ====

The USB on the neo has no power output. This means that you cannot use USB bus powered devices without some sort of powered hub or cable.
This is due to the fact that adding a 5V power supply into the device would have added complexity, volume and cost.

Many powered USB devices don't work without at least a nominal amount of 5v power from the USB bus. A few powered USB hubs will work without 5v power from the host, but most powered ones need to have simple electrical modifications done to work.

==== Q: Why is only USB 1.1 provided? ====

A: The processor has USB 1.1 built in. One with USB2 built in would have been more expensive.

==== Q: Can the Neo charge and use devices on a USB hub at the same time? ====

A:
*When the Neo is connected to a device port on a USB hub, it will start charging. If the hub is a powered hub, then it will charge fast (3h), otherwise around 12h.

*If you plug the Neo into the host port of a USB hub you can use devices on that hub but the Neo will not charge. (Some/many USB hubs will not accept an unpowered host as valid, hence the need for the below cable.)
*This is because the host socket on USB hubs is not powered.

FIC product development is looking into providing something that
conveniently solves this problem.

The USB port on the Neo is not a properly compliant USB host port, all USB host ports must provide 5V - though powered devices or hubs may not draw any current from this, they may refuse to work. (The Belkin Tetrahub is an example of a hub that will not work.)

One solution is a three headed cable.

One end plugs into the Neo. One end plugs into a device port of a powered hub, or the Neo charger. One end plugs into the host port of a hub.

The Charger/USB device plug only has +5V and 0V connected in the simple cable, which are connected to the other ends.

For a more complex cable, when the host socket is not plugged in, the cable acts as a simple USB cable.

==== Q: What are the details of the USB port on the [[Neo1973]]? How does it compare to USB On-The-Go? ====

A: The [[Neo1973]] will have mini-USB-B, and will be able to function as either a host or a device. It will NOT be USB On-The-Go. OTG is a complex specification, and it comprises way more than just
a AB socket, but also electrical and software components which cannot be provide by the S3C2410.

You will need a special Mini-B to regular-B cable (note that this won't actually comply with the USB standard: a compliant cable has to have an A or Mini-A plug on one end, and B or Mini-B on the other).

=== Q: Are there any LEDs on the Neo 1973? ===

A: The [[Neo1973]] v1 will have no LEDs besides the screen backlight.

=== Q: Will a JTAG port be made available? ===

A: The "Hacker's Lunchbox" in Advanced version will make this kind of stuff easy.

There are [[Neo1973_Hardware#Changes_from_GTA01Bv3|exposed I2C, SPI and debug board connectors]] inside case in all versions and [[Debug Board|Debug Board v2]] (JTAG and serial console) in Advanced version. [[Connecting Neo1973 with Debug Board v2]] explains how to connect it to the phone.

=== Q: What can we expect in future versions? ===

A: A faster CPU, faster GSM (EDGE?) perhaps even powered USB port, USB2, wifi, and camera. No details have been released yet. More details of hardware upgrades should be available sometime in May. There will also be 5 more OpenMoko devices - some not phones in the traditional sense - announced by FIC in September.

==Networking/Connectivity==

=== Q: What kind of connectivity? ===

A: Quad-band GSM, GPRS Class12/CS4 2.5G (Not EDGE), Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, USB in all versions. WiFi: Atheros AR6K in [[Neo1973|GTA02]]. (No 3G in year 2007 models)

=== Q: Can I bridge to an Ethernet (wired or unwired) network via a suitable Bluetooth enabled router? ===

A: Yes - see [http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Configure_a_bluetooth_network_access_point this howto for how to configure a linux computer to act as such a router] and [[Bluetooth Support]].

=== Q: What providers provide the GSM required for Neo1973? ===

A: See [[Neo1973 compatible cellphone providers]]

=== Q: Will OpenMoko "Just Work" with Mac OS X? ===

A: There has been some discussion of this on the mailing list. There is motivation, and there are interested developers.
Not being a Mac OS X user, I don't know enough
to summarize the discussion to answer this question. Can someone please fill in?

A: For IP over USB cable connectivity, it is planned to improve/adapt the AJZaurusUSB driver, allowing ssh into the OpenMoko.

A: It is expected that (Bluetooth/UB) SyncML based interoperation for
contacts and events can easily be achieved by a patch
to the Apple iSync configuration tables.

A: There is an open source implementation of Cocoa (GNUstep) that aims to run MacOS X compatible applications (sort of
PPC/x86/ARM universal binaries) on OpenMoko devices: mySTEP.

==Misc==

=== Q: On the lists on lists.openmoko.org, should replies be added above or below the original text? ===

A: Please reply UNDER post.

=== Q: How can I find out if a question or topic has already been discussed on the mailing lists? ===

A: By searching the mailing list archives. For example, using Google searches:

site:openmoko.org text

For example, to search for accelerometer:

site:openmoko.org accelerometer

If you only want to read the "official" mails from FIC people or from OpenMoko people:

site:openmoko.org text "at fic.com.tw"
site:openmoko.org text "at openmoko.org"

For example to search for "release date" from FIC people:

site:openmoko.org "release date" "at fic.com.tw"

Alternatively you can use the [http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=017507431580478583395%3Astsl7lhxzbc custom OpenMoko search engine] which has been created using [http://www.google.com/coop/ Google Co-op].

<big>'''Welcome to the [[OpenMoko]] public Wiki'''</big> 
For other languages see the [[#bottom|bottom]] of this page.

[[Image:FIC-neo1973_small.jpg|200px|right|frontside]]
[[OpenMoko]] is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source Open Source] project to create the world's first free mobile phone operating system.

The [[OpenMoko]] project is a community that anyone can join, to help design their ideal phone.

The long term goal is that phone software won't be tied to a phone. You can install any OpenMoko software over the whole range of phones, and if you upgrade your phone, you don't lose the software. Bugs fixed on one phone are fixed on all.

The [[Neo1973]] from [[FIC]] is the first of many phones that [[OpenMoko]] will run on. To show that OpenMoko the phone stack is not tied to the Neo1973, here is a report from somebody who seems to have OpenMoko [http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/07/01/openmoko-on-a-treo-650/ up and limping on the Palm Treo680]!

Please join us in collaborating on the [[OpenMoko | OpenMoko project]] through any of the [[Development resources | project resources]] including the [[Main Page | OpenMoko wiki]]. Please see the [[Help:Contents | wiki editing help page]] for information on making contributions to this wiki. A [[Meet the Core Team | core team of developers funded by FIC, Inc.]] leads the project.

An [[Introduction | introduction page]] is available, with both [[Introduction#Photos|photos]] and [[Introduction#Videos|videos]]. Moreover, the usual [[FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ, page]] might be helpful. Developers may find the [[ChangeLog | daily software change log]] an important resource.

The members of the [[OpenMoko]] community would like to thank [[FIC|FIC Inc.]] for showing leadership and initiating the [[OpenMoko]] project.

FAQ

2007-07-03T21:51:32Z

Idarwin: Minor tweaks to Q: What will it do?

Questions and Answers that don't seem to fit elsewhere

==Introduction==

=== Q: What is OpenMoko and Neo1973? ===
A: [[OpenMoko]] is a software platform, an attempt to create the world's first completely open mobile phone software stack. The [[FIC]] [[Neo1973]] is the first fully supported OpenMoko phone.

=== Q: When can I buy a [[Neo1973]]? ===

A: Neo1973 GTA01B_v04 at 2007-07-09 for developers, later for Neo1973 GTA02 - See [[Neo1973]] for most up to date information. [[Neo1973]] will be shipped worldwide. There also will be [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-January/001216.html shipping from EU].
To be informed when it is available, '''subscribe''' to [http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/announce the mailing list announce].

=== Q: How much? ===

A: Neo1973 GTA01B_v04: $300 for Neo Base, $450 for Neo Advanced. See [[Neo1973]] for what is included.

A: Neo1973 GTA02: $450 for Neo Base, $600 for Neo Advanced. See [[Neo1973]] for list of hardware.

=== Q: What will it do? ===

A: The Phase 1 phone available soon is aimed at developers only. It is not suitable for end users, it will have basic functionality as a touchscreen phone. Little else will work, software development will continue till mass market release.

Those interested should:

* Know that there will be a device with faster cpu, gsm system etc. 4-5 months later (GTA02)
* Have fun hacking devices.
* Be able to find their way through prototype software and hardware without much documentation.
* Share the dream of a device powered by free software.
* Not expect a consumer-level device.
* Come up with new ideas for exploring the age of mobile computing.
* Have $300.

Ideally they also:

* Can spot bugs and submit patches.
* Love to cooperate with a community improving the software.

==Software==

=== Q: Can the software do/connect to/... ===
A: At the moment, the answer is in almost all cases no. The phone is at the moment a small linux box with a touchscreen, a working dialer and some prototype apps.
Most do not function in any way that would be suitable for users.
If you want to add a feature or application request, then look over the existing applications and either add one, or add a feature request to the applications page.

=== Q: Is there description and list of OpenMoko software? ===

A: See [[OpenMoko]] and [[OpenMokoFramework]]

=== Q: Is it completely free software/open source? ===

A: User space [[Gpsd]] will use binary plugin for [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware#AGPS|Hammerhead AGPS]] and [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware#GSM.2FGPRS|GSM modem]] is separate subsystem connected to S3C2410 UART1. Otherwise it is completely free software. See [[MokoMakefile]] and [[Development resources]].

=== Q: How do I install and manage software on OpenMoko? ===

A: ipkg: http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Ipkg

=== Q: How can I compile programs for the Neo1973? ===

A: See [[Toolchain]].

=== Q: Is there an emulator available for OpenMoko? ===

*XorA guesses that if your first question is "is there an emulator"
then you're not actually ever going to do dev work :-)

====QEMU====
QEMU can now emulate the Neo1973 device. The [[MokoMakefile]] has support for automatically building, flashing, and running [[OpenMoko under QEMU|the Neo1973 emulator]].

“make qemu” will build qemu-neo1973, download the latest official openmoko images, flash the images into the virtual NAND flash, and run the emulator.

====Xoo====
Another is [http://projects.o-hand.com/xoo Xoo]. Koen says: "Xoo should be enough for most apps people will develop, since most don't need access to the gsm uart directly. If you're hardcore you could use qemu + xoo, but that still doesn't emulate all the hardware quirks (e.g. unaligned access)".

Update: Stefan Schmidt has resized the [[Neo1973]] Mock-up and written a small description for xoo. In his words:

It's not really useable at all, as you need a really high screen resolution to fit the whole picture on your screen. And of course the dpi are wrong. Even no buttons because I can't remember where they are at the case.

http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/OpenMoko/neo1973-xoo-device.tar.bz2

Start with 'xoo --device /path/to/neo1973.xml'

Some more details [[Getting_Openmoko_working_on_host_with_Xoo|here]].

====Xephyr====
Or use Xephyr directly with locally compiled programs (e.g. matchbox svn + openmoko):
Xephyr -screen 480x640 -nolisten tcp -ac :1 &
export DISPLAY=:1
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
matchbox-window-manager -display $DISPLAY -use_titlebar no \
-use_super_modal yes -use_lowlight yes -use_dialog_mode static \
-use_cursor yes &
matchbox-panel --geometry=480x44 --end-applets=clock &
openmoko-footer &
openmoko-taskmanager &

=== Q: Where can I find some type of tutorial for a 'Hello, world' on OpenMoko? ===

A: This should get you started:
http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/

=== Q: Can PalmOS apps applications be ported to run on OpenMoko? ===

A: Making legacy apps written for the "Garnet" OS (née "Palm OS") run on Linux
is decidedly non-trivial. An emulator for this is going to be part of the
ACCESS Linux Platform.

PalmOS apps are in general very hard to simply 'port'. Particularly well-designed programs may make it possible.

The ACCESS Linux Platform will include POSE, an emulator that simulates a Palm device on a Linux host. This emulator has been around a long time; one expects that it will also run on OpenMoko, but this has to be considered a short-term bandaid rather than a long-term solution.

The soon-to-be-released [http://www.palm.com/foleo/ Palm Foleo], which runs a Linux port developed by Palm Inc. independently of ALP, contains a PalmOS compatibility environment that runs PalmOS apps, supposedly all of them and supposedly seamlessly. Little is known about how it works but if it's not too kludgy it should run unmodified on any ARM linux. It is not known what license it will be distributed under.

Hopefully emulation will be necessary only for M68000 code (pre-PalmOS 5) while native ARM programs can run natively under Linux, provided a proper set of PalmOS libraries and a .prc executable loader.

=== Q: Does it have Java? ===
A: It will have eventually, if you help us to get it working. Some good places to keep track of would be [http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/java-pkg/ projects.openmoko.org] and [https://phoneme.dev.java.net/ PhoneME].

=== Q: What are the relevant X11 details? ===

A: See [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-January/001353.html xdpyinfo output].

=== Q: Does OpenMoko run on any other hardware? ===

You can run it on your [[How_to_run_OpenMoko_Apps_on_PC|PC]]. There is work going on with [http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/weblog//archives/2007/02/#e2007-02-18T15_27_07.txt OpenEZX and HTC]. It's running on [http://dominion.kabel.utwente.nl/koen/cms/openmoko-running-on-an-ipaq iPaq hx4700], on a [http://hackndev.com/node/701 Palm TX] and on [http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/07/01/openmoko-on-a-treo-650/ PalmOne's Treo 650].

=== Q: What are the requirements to the hardware to run OpenMoko? (Would it run on the IXI ogo?) ===

=== Q: Why do you not build on top of the Maemo platform instead? ===

While I can't speak for the OpenMoko team, it's worth noting that maemo is fixed resolution only. That will, I've heard, change in the future, but it hasn't yet. Maemo's current layout is also optimized for wide screens, not tall narrow ones. Most third party maemo applications that are out there will need to be modified to work at different sizes. Finally, a number of the software components of the Nokia 770 and N800 are not open source. --gopi

To add up on that, according to Nokia, Maemo is designed to bring the "Desktop" experience to an Internet Tablet. A lot of Desktop paradigms just won't work on a phone. However, we really share a lot of the base-technology (gtk, dbus, eds, gconf, to name a few) with Maemo, so we are definitely not a reinvent-the-wheel team.

=== Q: Will it be possible to use popular VoIP applications such as Skype on the OpenMoko platform? ===

A: Perhaps. Hardware issues mean that it won't work well on the Neo1973. (the typical latency of GPRS is far too high). Also, Skype is a closed source application, which does not provide binaries that would be suitable to run on OpenMoko. Skype's vendor could of course choose to provide binaries for OpenMoko phones. However, many telephone providers' terms of service agreements preclude running VoIP over their baseline GSM service.

=== Q: Same question for Instant Messaging applications such as MSN Messenger? ===

A: Very probably. MSN is closed source and will only run where Microsoft wants you to run it. But there are many Open Source IM clients, many of which have a plugin architecture and so support the use of more than one IM protocol, even simultaneously. One example is [http://www.pidgin.im Pidgin, formerly called GAIM]. GPRS does induce a certain amount of latency but that should not be a problem for simple, text-oriented chat between parties. And the GTA02's WiFi will make it even better.

==Neo1973 Hardware==

=== Q: Is there description of [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973 Hardware]] ? ===

A: See [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973 Hardware]] and [[Disassembling Neo1973]]

=== Q: What are the dimensions? ===

A: 120.7 x 62 x 18.5 mm, It would fit entirely in a coke can. (4.75 * 2.4 * 0.72 ")

=== Q: How heavy is it? ===

A: 185g, (6.5 ounces).

=== Q: Does it have a camera? ===

A: No, see [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973]] for details on what it does include (and [[Wish List - Hardware]] for what some want in the future.) See also [[FAQ#USB]].

=== Q: What is the rationale behind the exclusion of WiFi? ===

A: No suitable low power open source WiFi device was available when the [[Neo1973]] was designed. A closed source WiFi device would have been restrictive for developers and users alike. See also [[FAQ#USB]].

See also:
[[Sean Moss-Pultz]]'s [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2006-November/000050.html comment on this]

[[Neo1973|Neo1973 GTA02]] will include WiFi.

=== Q: Does it have bluetooth? ===

A: Yes!

=== Q: Does it come with a stylus? ===

A: Yes, but there's no holder for it on the phone.

=== Q: Where are the buttons? ===

The power button is a small circular button, just next to the USB connector. [[Neo1973 Power button]]
The Auxilliary button is a rectangular button on the top left of the edge of the phone. (on black phones it looks just like an IRDA port). [[Neo1973 AUX button]]

=== Q: How do I input text? ===

A: Use provided keyboard app.

A: Use Bluetooth keyboard.

A: For more methods and ideas see [[Wishlist:Text_Input]].

=== Q: Can I record calls and/or play audio files in calls? ===

A: Yes, audio path from GSM to/from mic and speakers is completely controllable by user. For example recording calls (both sides) and implementing answering machine is possible. Also using text->speech should be possible or modifying outgoing voice. Currently there is no software bundled in phone to do this.

=== Q: What is the battery life? ===

A: There has been no word on this so far, but see [[Neo1973 Power Management#Approximate_power_draw_of_various_subsystems|these estimates]] for a rough idea. More information about the battery [[Neo1973 Battery|here]].

=== USB ===

==== Q: What can I do with the USB port on the Neo1973? ====
A: Charge the phone, communicate with it over USB-serial, or USB-networking.

A: Plug external devices, such as wifi, cameras, or mass-storage devices in.

==== Q: What can't I do with the USB? ====

The USB on the neo has no power output. This means that you cannot use USB bus powered devices without some sort of powered hub or cable.
This is due to the fact that adding a 5V power supply into the device would have added complexity, volume and cost.

Many powered USB devices don't work without at least a nominal amount of 5v power from the USB bus. A few powered USB hubs will work without 5v power from the host, but most powered ones need to have simple electrical modifications done to work.

==== Q: Why is only USB 1.1 provided? ====

A: The processor has USB 1.1 built in. One with USB2 built in would have been more expensive.

==== Q: Can the Neo charge and use devices on a USB hub at the same time? ====

A:
*When the Neo is connected to a device port on a USB hub, it will start charging. If the hub is a powered hub, then it will charge fast (3h), otherwise around 12h.

*If you plug the Neo into the host port of a USB hub you can use devices on that hub but the Neo will not charge. (Some/many USB hubs will not accept an unpowered host as valid, hence the need for the below cable.)
*This is because the host socket on USB hubs is not powered.

FIC product development is looking into providing something that
conveniently solves this problem.

The USB port on the Neo is not a properly compliant USB host port, all USB host ports must provide 5V - though powered devices or hubs may not draw any current from this, they may refuse to work. (The Belkin Tetrahub is an example of a hub that will not work.)

One solution is a three headed cable.

One end plugs into the Neo. One end plugs into a device port of a powered hub, or the Neo charger. One end plugs into the host port of a hub.

The Charger/USB device plug only has +5V and 0V connected in the simple cable, which are connected to the other ends.

For a more complex cable, when the host socket is not plugged in, the cable acts as a simple USB cable.

==== Q: What are the details of the USB port on the [[Neo1973]]? How does it compare to USB On-The-Go? ====

A: The [[Neo1973]] will have mini-USB-B, and will be able to function as either a host or a device. It will NOT be USB On-The-Go. OTG is a complex specification, and it comprises way more than just
a AB socket, but also electrical and software components which cannot be provide by the S3C2410.

You will need a special Mini-B to regular-B cable (note that this won't actually comply with the USB standard: a compliant cable has to have an A or Mini-A plug on one end, and B or Mini-B on the other).

=== Q: Are there any LEDs on the Neo 1973? ===

A: The [[Neo1973]] v1 will have no LEDs besides the screen backlight.

=== Q: Will a JTAG port be made available? ===

A: The "Hacker's Lunchbox" in Advanced version will make this kind of stuff easy.

There are [[Neo1973_Hardware#Changes_from_GTA01Bv3|exposed I2C, SPI and debug board connectors]] inside case in all versions and [[Debug Board|Debug Board v2]] (JTAG and serial console) in Advanced version. [[Connecting Neo1973 with Debug Board v2]] explains how to connect it to the phone.

=== Q: What can we expect in future versions? ===

A: A faster CPU, faster GSM (EDGE?) perhaps even powered USB port, USB2, wifi, and camera. No details have been released yet. More details of hardware upgrades should be available sometime in May. There will also be 5 more OpenMoko devices - some not phones in the traditional sense - announced by FIC in September.

==Networking/Connectivity==

=== Q: What kind of connectivity? ===

A: Quad-band GSM, GPRS Class12/CS4 2.5G (Not EDGE), Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, USB in all versions. WiFi: Atheros AR6K in [[Neo1973|GTA02]]. (No 3G in year 2007 models)

=== Q: Can I bridge to an Ethernet (wired or unwired) network via a suitable Bluetooth enabled router? ===

A: Yes - see [http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Configure_a_bluetooth_network_access_point this howto for how to configure a linux computer to act as such a router] and [[Bluetooth Support]].

=== Q: What providers provide the GSM required for Neo1973? ===

A: See [[Neo1973 compatible cellphone providers]]

=== Q: Will OpenMoko "Just Work" with Mac OS X? ===

A: There has been some discussion of this on the mailing list. There is motivation, and there are interested developers.
Not being a Mac OS X user, I don't know enough
to summarize the discussion to answer this question. Can someone please fill in?

A: For IP over USB cable connectivity, it is planned to improve/adapt the AJZaurusUSB driver, allowing ssh into the OpenMoko.

A: It is expected that (Bluetooth/UB) SyncML based interoperation for
contacts and events can easily be achieved by a patch
to the Apple iSync configuration tables.

A: There is an open source implementation of Cocoa (GNUstep) that aims to run MacOS X compatible applications (sort of
PPC/x86/ARM universal binaries) on OpenMoko devices: mySTEP.

==Misc==

=== Q: On the lists on lists.openmoko.org, should replies be added above or below the original text? ===

A: Please reply UNDER post.

=== Q: How can I find out if a question or topic has already been discussed on the mailing lists? ===

A: By searching the mailing list archives. For example, using Google searches:

site:openmoko.org text

For example, to search for accelerometer:

site:openmoko.org accelerometer

If you only want to read the "official" mails from FIC people or from OpenMoko people:

site:openmoko.org text "at fic.com.tw"
site:openmoko.org text "at openmoko.org"

For example to search for "release date" from FIC people:

site:openmoko.org "release date" "at fic.com.tw"

Alternatively you can use the [http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=017507431580478583395%3Astsl7lhxzbc custom OpenMoko search engine] which has been created using [http://www.google.com/coop/ Google Co-op].

* Love to cooperate with a community improving the software.

==Software==

=== Q: Can the software do/connect to/... ===
A: At the moment, the answer is in almost all cases no. The phone is at the moment a small linux box with a touchscreen, a working dialer and some prototype apps.
Most do not function in any way that would be suitable for users.
If you want to add a feature or application request, then look over the existing applications and either add one, or add a feature request to the applications page.

=== Q: Is there description and list of OpenMoko software? ===

A: See [[OpenMoko]] and [[OpenMokoFramework]]

=== Q: Is it completely free software/open source? ===

A: User space [[Gpsd]] will use binary plugin for [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware#AGPS|Hammerhead AGPS]] and [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware#GSM.2FGPRS|GSM modem]] is separate subsystem connected to S3C2410 UART1. Otherwise it is completely free software. See [[MokoMakefile]] and [[Development resources]].

=== Q: How do I install and manage software on OpenMoko? ===

A: ipkg: http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Ipkg

=== Q: How can I compile programs for the Neo1973? ===

A: See [[Toolchain]].

=== Q: Is there an emulator available for OpenMoko? ===

*XorA guesses that if your first question is "is there an emulator"
then you're not actually ever going to do dev work :-)

====QEMU====
QEMU can now emulate the Neo1973 device. The [[MokoMakefile]] has support for automatically building, flashing, and running [[OpenMoko under QEMU|the Neo1973 emulator]].

“make qemu” will build qemu-neo1973, download the latest official openmoko images, flash the images into the virtual NAND flash, and run the emulator.

====Xoo====
Another is [http://projects.o-hand.com/xoo Xoo]. Koen says: "Xoo should be enough for most apps people will develop, since most don't need access to the gsm uart directly. If you're hardcore you could use qemu + xoo, but that still doesn't emulate all the hardware quirks (e.g. unaligned access)".

Update: Stefan Schmidt has resized the [[Neo1973]] Mock-up and written a small description for xoo. In his words:

It's not really useable at all, as you need a really high screen resolution to fit the whole picture on your screen. And of course the dpi are wrong. Even no buttons because I can't remember where they are at the case.

http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/OpenMoko/neo1973-xoo-device.tar.bz2

Start with 'xoo --device /path/to/neo1973.xml'

Some more details [[Getting_Openmoko_working_on_host_with_Xoo|here]].

====Xephyr====
Or use Xephyr directly with locally compiled programs (e.g. matchbox svn + openmoko):
Xephyr -screen 480x640 -nolisten tcp -ac :1 &
export DISPLAY=:1
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
matchbox-window-manager -display $DISPLAY -use_titlebar no \
-use_super_modal yes -use_lowlight yes -use_dialog_mode static \
-use_cursor yes &
matchbox-panel --geometry=480x44 --end-applets=clock &
openmoko-footer &
openmoko-taskmanager &

=== Q: Where can I find some type of tutorial for a 'Hello, world' on OpenMoko? ===

A: This should get you started:
http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/

=== Q: Can PalmOS apps applications be ported to run on OpenMoko? ===

A: Making legacy apps written for the "Garnet" OS (née "Palm OS") run on Linux
is decidedly non-trivial. An emulator for this is going to be part of the
ACCESS Linux Platform.

PalmOS apps are in general very hard to simply 'port'. Particularly well-designed programs may make it possible.

The ACCESS Linux Platform will include POSE, an emulator that simulates a Palm device on a Linux host. This emulator has been around a long time; one expects that it will also run on OpenMoko, but this has to be considered a short-term bandaid rather than a long-term solution.

The soon-to-be-released [http://www.palm.com/foleo/ Palm Foleo], which runs a Linux port developed by Palm Inc. independently of ALP, contains a PalmOS compatibility environment that runs PalmOS apps, supposedly all of them and supposedly seamlessly. Little is known about how it works but if it's not too kludgy it should run unmodified on any ARM linux. It is not known what license it will be distributed under.

Hopefully emulation will be necessary only for M68000 code (pre-PalmOS 5) while native ARM programs can run natively under Linux, provided a proper set of PalmOS libraries and a .prc executable loader.

=== Q: Does it have Java? ===
A: It will have eventually, if you help us to get it working. Some good places to keep track of would be [http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/java-pkg/ projects.openmoko.org] and [https://phoneme.dev.java.net/ PhoneME].

=== Q: What are the relevant X11 details? ===

A: See [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-January/001353.html xdpyinfo output].

=== Q: Does OpenMoko run on any other hardware? ===

You can run it on your [[How_to_run_OpenMoko_Apps_on_PC|PC]]. There is work going on with [http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/weblog//archives/2007/02/#e2007-02-18T15_27_07.txt OpenEZX and HTC]. It's running on [http://dominion.kabel.utwente.nl/koen/cms/openmoko-running-on-an-ipaq iPaq hx4700], on a [http://hackndev.com/node/701 Palm TX] and on [http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/07/01/openmoko-on-a-treo-650/ PalmOne's Treo 650].

=== Q: What are the requirements to the hardware to run OpenMoko? (Would it run on the IXI ogo?) ===

=== Q: Why do you not build on top of the Maemo platform instead? ===

While I can't speak for the OpenMoko team, it's worth noting that maemo is fixed resolution only. That will, I've heard, change in the future, but it hasn't yet. Maemo's current layout is also optimized for wide screens, not tall narrow ones. Most third party maemo applications that are out there will need to be modified to work at different sizes. Finally, a number of the software components of the Nokia 770 and N800 are not open source. --gopi

To add up on that, according to Nokia, Maemo is designed to bring the "Desktop" experience to an Internet Tablet. A lot of Desktop paradigms just won't work on a phone. However, we really share a lot of the base-technology (gtk, dbus, eds, gconf, to name a few) with Maemo, so we are definitely not a reinvent-the-wheel team.

=== Q: Will it be possible to use popular VoIP applications such as Skype on the OpenMoko platform? ===

A: Perhaps. Hardware issues mean that it won't work well on the Neo1973. (the typical latency of GPRS is far too high). Also, Skype is a closed source application, which does not provide binaries that would be suitable to run on OpenMoko. Skype's vendor could of course choose to provide binaries for OpenMoko phones. However, many telephone providers' terms of service agreements preclude running VoIP over their baseline GSM service.

=== Q: Same question for Instant Messaging applications such as MSN Messenger? ===

A: Very probably. MSN is closed source and will only run where Microsoft wants you to run it. But there are many Open Source IM clients, many of which have a plugin architecture and so support the use of more than one IM protocol, even simultaneously. One example is [http://www.pidgin.im Pidgin, formerly called GAIM]. GPRS does induce a certain amount of latency but that should not be a problem for simple, text-oriented chat between parties. And the GTA02's WiFi will make it even better.

==Neo1973 Hardware==

=== Q: Is there description of [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973 Hardware]] ? ===

A: See [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973 Hardware]] and [[Disassembling Neo1973]]

=== Q: What are the dimensions? ===

A: 120.7 x 62 x 18.5 mm, It would fit entirely in a coke can. (4.75 * 2.4 * 0.72 ")

=== Q: How heavy is it? ===

A: 185g, (6.5 ounces).

=== Q: Does it have a camera? ===

A: No, see [[:Category:Neo1973 Hardware | Neo1973]] for details on what it does include (and [[Wish List - Hardware]] for what some want in the future.) See also [[FAQ#USB]].

=== Q: What is the rationale behind the exclusion of WiFi? ===

A: No suitable low power open source WiFi device was available when the [[Neo1973]] was designed. A closed source WiFi device would have been restrictive for developers and users alike. See also [[FAQ#USB]].

[[Sean Moss-Pultz]]'s [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2006-November/000050.html comment on this]

[[Neo1973|Neo1973 GTA02]] will include WiFi.

=== Q: Does it have bluetooth? ===

A: Yes!

=== Q: Does it come with a stylus? ===

A: Yes, but there's no holder for it on the phone.

=== Q: Where are the buttons? ===

The power button is a small circular button, just next to the USB connector. [[Neo1973 Power button]]
The Auxilliary button is a rectangular button on the top left of the edge of the phone. (on black phones it looks just like an IRDA port). [[Neo1973 AUX button]]

=== Q: How do I input text? ===

A: Use provided keyboard app.

A: Use Bluetooth keyboard.

A: For more methods and ideas see [[Wishlist:Text_Input]].

=== Q: Can I record calls and/or play audio files in calls? ===

A: Yes, audio path from GSM to/from mic and speakers is completely controllable by user. For example recording calls (both sides) and implementing answering machine is possible. Also using text->speech should be possible or modifying outgoing voice. Currently there is no software bundled in phone to do this.

=== Q: What is the battery life? ===

A: There has been no word on this so far, but see [[Neo1973 Power Management#Approximate_power_draw_of_various_subsystems|these estimates]] for a rough idea. More information about the battery [[Neo1973 Battery|here]].

=== USB ===

==== Q: What can I do with the USB port on the Neo1973? ====
A: Charge the phone, communicate with it over USB-serial, or USB-networking.

A: Plug external devices, such as wifi, cameras, or mass-storage devices in.

==== Q: What can't I do with the USB? ====

The USB on the neo has no power output. This means that you cannot use USB bus powered devices without some sort of powered hub or cable.
This is due to the fact that adding a 5V power supply into the device would have added complexity, volume and cost.

Many powered USB devices don't work without at least a nominal amount of 5v power from the USB bus. A few powered USB hubs will work without 5v power from the host, but most powered ones need to have simple electrical modifications done to work.

==== Q: Why is only USB 1.1 provided? ====

A: The processor has USB 1.1 built in. One with USB2 built in would have been more expensive.

==== Q: Can the Neo charge and use devices on a USB hub at the same time? ====

A:
*When the Neo is connected to a device port on a USB hub, it will start charging. If the hub is a powered hub, then it will charge fast (3h), otherwise around 12h.

*If you plug the Neo into the host port of a USB hub you can use devices on that hub but the Neo will not charge. (Some/many USB hubs will not accept an unpowered host as valid, hence the need for the below cable.)
*This is because the host socket on USB hubs is not powered.

FIC product development is looking into providing something that
conveniently solves this problem.

The USB port on the Neo is not a properly compliant USB host port, all USB host ports must provide 5V - though powered devices or hubs may not draw any current from this, they may refuse to work. (The Belkin Tetrahub is an example of a hub that will not work.)

One solution is a three headed cable.

One end plugs into the Neo. One end plugs into a device port of a powered hub, or the Neo charger. One end plugs into the host port of a hub.

The Charger/USB device plug only has +5V and 0V connected in the simple cable, which are connected to the other ends.

For a more complex cable, when the host socket is not plugged in, the cable acts as a simple USB cable.

==== Q: What are the details of the USB port on the [[Neo1973]]? How does it compare to USB On-The-Go? ====

A: The [[Neo1973]] will have mini-USB-B, and will be able to function as either a host or a device. It will NOT be USB On-The-Go. OTG is a complex specification, and it comprises way more than just
a AB socket, but also electrical and software components which cannot be provide by the S3C2410.

You will need a special Mini-B to regular-B cable (note that this won't actually comply with the USB standard: a compliant cable has to have an A or Mini-A plug on one end, and B or Mini-B on the other).

=== Q: Are there any LEDs on the Neo 1973? ===

A: The [[Neo1973]] v1 will have no LEDs besides the screen backlight.

=== Q: Will a JTAG port be made available? ===

A: The "Hacker's Lunchbox" in Advanced version will make this kind of stuff easy.

There are [[Neo1973_Hardware#Changes_from_GTA01Bv3|exposed I2C, SPI and debug board connectors]] inside case in all versions and [[Debug Board|Debug Board v2]] (JTAG and serial console) in Advanced version. [[Connecting Neo1973 with Debug Board v2]] explains how to connect it to the phone.

=== Q: What can we expect in future versions? ===

A: A faster CPU, faster GSM (EDGE?) perhaps even powered USB port, USB2, wifi, and camera. No details have been released yet. More details of hardware upgrades should be available sometime in May. There will also be 5 more OpenMoko devices - some not phones in the traditional sense - announced by FIC in September.

==Networking/Connectivity==

=== Q: What kind of connectivity? ===

A: Quad-band GSM, GPRS Class12/CS4 2.5G (Not EDGE), Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, USB in all versions. WiFi: Atheros AR6K in [[Neo1973|GTA02]]. (No 3G in year 2007 models)

=== Q: Can I bridge to an Ethernet (wired or unwired) network via a suitable Bluetooth enabled router? ===

A: Yes - see [http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Configure_a_bluetooth_network_access_point this howto for how to configure a linux computer to act as such a router] and [[Bluetooth Support]].

=== Q: What providers provide the GSM required for Neo1973? ===

A: See [[Neo1973 compatible cellphone providers]]

=== Q: Will OpenMoko "Just Work" with Mac OS X? ===

A: There has been some discussion of this on the mailing list. There is motivation, and there are interested developers.
Not being a Mac OS X user, I don't know enough
to summarize the discussion to answer this question. Can someone please fill in?

A: For IP over USB cable connectivity, it is planned to improve/adapt the AJZaurusUSB driver, allowing ssh into the OpenMoko.

A: It is expected that (Bluetooth/UB) SyncML based interoperation for
contacts and events can easily be achieved by a patch
to the Apple iSync configuration tables.

A: There is an open source implementation of Cocoa (GNUstep) that aims to run MacOS X compatible applications (sort of
PPC/x86/ARM universal binaries) on OpenMoko devices: mySTEP.

==Misc==

=== Q: On the lists on lists.openmoko.org, should replies be added above or below the original text? ===

A: Please reply UNDER post.

=== Q: How can I find out if a question or topic has already been discussed on the mailing lists? ===

A: By searching the mailing list archives. For example, using Google searches:

site:openmoko.org text

For example, to search for accelerometer:

site:openmoko.org accelerometer

If you only want to read the "official" mails from FIC people or from OpenMoko people:

site:openmoko.org text "at fic.com.tw"
site:openmoko.org text "at openmoko.org"

For example to search for "release date" from FIC people:

site:openmoko.org "release date" "at fic.com.tw"

Alternatively you can use the [http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=017507431580478583395%3Astsl7lhxzbc custom OpenMoko search engine] which has been created using [http://www.google.com/coop/ Google Co-op].

[[Image:FIC-neo1973_small.jpg|200px|right|frontside]]
[[OpenMoko]] is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source Open Source] project to create the world's first free mobile phone operating system.

The [[OpenMoko]] project is a community that anyone can join, to help design their ideal phone.

The long term goal is that phone software won't be tied to a phone. You can install any OpenMoko software over the whole range of phones, and if you upgrade your phone, you don't lose the software. Bugs fixed on one phone are fixed on all.

The [[Neo1973]] from [[FIC]] is the first of many phones that [[OpenMoko]] will run on. To show that OpenMoko the phone stack is not tied to the Neo1973, here is a report from somebody who seems to have OpenMoko [http://blog.mikeasoft.com/2007/07/01/openmoko-on-a-treo-650/ up and limping on the Palm Treo680]!

Please join us in collaborating on the [[OpenMoko | OpenMoko project]] through any of the [[Development resources | project resources]] including the [[Main Page | OpenMoko wiki]]. Please see the [[Help:Contents | wiki editing help page]] for information on making contributions to this wiki. A [[Meet the Core Team | core team of developers funded by FIC, Inc.]] leads the project.

An [[Introduction | introduction page]] is available. The [[Introduction | page]] has both [[Introduction#Photos|photos]] and [[Introduction#Videos|videos]] available. Moreover, the usual [[FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ, page]] might be helpful. Developers may find the [[ChangeLog | daily software change log]] an important resource.

The members of the [[OpenMoko]] community would like to thank [[FIC|FIC Inc.]] for showing leadership and initiating the [[OpenMoko]] project.
