GTA04EA (Early Adopter)
Since the last community update there has been some progress in the project. Nearly all critical components arrived. The only missing part should now be the CPU, so they even got the very critical POP-memory which was hard to find. So the component "changelog" is the following:
- MT29C4G96MAZAPCJG-5 IT (512 MB RAM, 512 MB NAND Flash)
- DM3730CBP (800 MHz version)
- TPS65950A3 (latest version of the power controller)
- TFDU6301 (IrDA module substitutes the previous HSDL3602)
Due to two reasons the PCB layout is being reworked:
- canceling out power supply issues
- add shielding and tunnels for the most critical audio signals to make sure there is no buzz-fixes are needed.

Distributions
Distributions lists releases and other significant updates in distributions that have some support for the Openmoko devices.
Distro Name [version]
Here comes some additional text to show you guys, how Template:DistributionBox will behave under heavy load of text. It is copied several times on purpose. This way you can see how layout would looke like if description of distribution is very complex or expanded.Here comes some additional text to show you guys, how Template:DistributionBox will behave under heavy load of text.

Applications
New Applications
barom 0.3
barom uses the bmp085 pressure sensor to report weather/altitude information..

SensMon
SensMon is a Vala-based monitor for sensors that can be used to visualize the sensor values on the handheld (but not only). The software is very experimental and does not include any kind of exception handling. You are using it at your own risk :) Its main purpose is to test the sensors included in the Freerunner Navigation Board and Freerunner Navigation Board v2.
