Banaketei buruz

Openmoko banaketak hainbat mobiletan erabiltzeko diseinatu dira, baina helburu nagusia Openmoko Inc. proiektuaren Neo 1973 eta Neo FreeRunner telefono mugikorretan funtzionatzea dute. GNU/Linux banaketak dira, alegia, Linux sistema eragilea eta erabilera zabaleko hainbat aplikazioz osatutako aplikazio multzoak dira. Zeure telefonoan banaketa horietako edozein instala zenezake, edo nahi izanez gero, banaketa bat baino gehiago eduki ditzakezu eta pizterakoan aukeratu zein banaketarekin abiarazi nahi duzun. Banaketaren bat deskargatzeko ikusi Download, instalaziorako argibideak FreeRunnerrean banaketen instalazioa orrian aurkituko dituzu.

Horrez gain, Openmoko banaketak beste mobil batzuetan ere instala daitezke, eta, era berean, beste banaketa batzuek ere instala daitezke Openmoko proiektuaren mobiletan.

Banaketa egokiaren aukera

2009ko abuztuaz geroztik egindako inkesta baten arabera SHR da gehien erabiltzen den banaketa, eta horri openmokoren banaketek jarraitzen diote (Om 2007, Om 2008 eta Om 2009 hirurak bakar baten moduan hartuz gero beti ere), beste hainbat aukera ere badaude: Debian, Debianen oinarritutako Hackable:1, Qt Extended Improved, Android, Qtmoko eta abar.[1] Om 2009 banaketaren garapena geratu egin da ordea, eta beraz bere erabiltzaileek beste banaketaren batera pasa beharko dute.

Kontuan izan

  • Egonkorra hitzak FreeRunnerraren munduan ez du Debianen munduko esanahi bera.
  • Banaketa gehienek abiatzaile, kernel, driver eta hardware berak erabiltzen dituzte. Ondorioz, behe mailako hutsegite berdinak agertzen dira banaketa gehienetan. Azken aplikazio zirraragarriek akats zaharrak konponduta edukiko dituzte, baina berriak bertan azalduko dira...
  • Banaketa hauek aplikazioen biltegiak ere eduki ohi dituzte. bertatik instalatu aplikazio berriak, beste batetik instalatzea ideia TXARRA da. Ikusi beste banaketen aplikazioen instalazioa.
  • Banaketa hauen artean batetik besterako maila igoerak (upgradeak) ez dira ondo probatuta egoten, ondorioz, eguneraketak biltegiak aldatuz eginez gero, aplikazioeak apurtzea ekar dezake, edo okerragoa dena, abiarazi ezin den sistemarekin bukatu daiteke. Egin behar dena sistema FreeRunnerraren Flash memorian instalatzea da, horretarako dfu-util erabiliz, horrela, banaketa ezberdinen artean aukeratu ahal izango duzu. Abiaratze bikoitza ezar daiteke MikroSD edo NFS) erabiliz.

Debian "sistema eragile unibertsala" da. Milaka paketa eta aplikazio dauzka (gehenak mahai gaineko ordenadoreetarako edota zerbitzarietarako paketeak dira). Joachim "nomeata" Breitner pkg-fso taldeko kidearen hitzetan, Debian, Openmokoren zentzuan, ez da banaketa bat, horren ordez, Openmokoren beste banaketentzat azpiegitura edota oinarri-sistematzat har daiteke. Oraingoz,alatzeko beste bide bat bezala har daiteke, baina bide honek leku gehiago hartzen du eta askoz programa gehiago eskaintzen ditu.

Hainbat izen jaso ditu Qt Extended banaketak. Azkenetakoa Qt Extended Improved da. Openmoko-n oinarritutako komunitateak software libreko proiektu moduan garatua izan da. Qt Extended Improved banaketak telefoniako aplikazio multzo sendoa eskaintzen du, internet nabigatzailea eta telefono adimendunen hainbat ezaugarri ere bai.

209ko martxoaren 5.ean Qt Software-k Qt Extended 4.4.3 atera zuen. 2009ko martxoaren 3an Qt Software-k esan zuen hori izango zela bere azken bertsioa, ez zituela gehiago landuko. Qt Extended beste izen batez ezagutzen zen, hau da, Qtopia izena zen garai batean bere izena.

OpenWrt is described as a Linux distribution for embedded devices.

Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developer, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

OpenWrt development trunk now supports s3c24xx, CPU used in Freerunner.

Mainly due to the usage of uClibc instead of glibc as libc implementation, OpenWrt can boot from NAND with enlightenment window manager within 1 minute 7 seconds using u-boot (NOR) bootloader.

Qalee is a phone environment developed in Qt4 above the fso stack. It works on the freerunner under any distribution that supports Qt4. It's not finished yet but you can test a preview version with the official Qalee distributon. This release includes no new features, but many fixes for things that didn’t work or were incomplete in 0.0.2. You can read full announcement, or take a look at some of changes:

  • Qalee is now based on shr instead of debian.
  • clock widget now shows a calendar when clicked.
  • status panel widget shows gsm network name and power and internet connection status while on wifi or gprs.
  • screen menu : you can now choose the background picture with a cover-flow effect, letting the backlight always on now works.
  • network menu : all entries work, gsm one is a little buggy though.
  • Wifi works despite the the bug in the kernel 2.6.29 opened for 4 month.
  • application menu : to launch application just click on it :) when launched the button becomes green, to close it, press the close button which becomes red and click on the application you want to close
  • power button supports suspend on short press, or menu on longer press.
  • phone application is now litephone modified to use Qalee’s buttons.
  • GorshPlayer is broken, if you have Qt4.5.2 librairies with phonon working on shr, tell me (?)//FIXME
  • keyboard is still literky.
  • Themable interface allows you to change some colours of the interface.


WARNING :
Qalee is in pre-alpha stage, a lot of thinks are not coded yet, other are broken, some may be changed. It's just a preview version of the current work! http://www.qalee.org

SHR is a community driven distribution. It contains some basic EFL based applications which make use of the FSO. There currently is an EFL (with elementary) dialer, messages and contacts application programmed in C, as well as a nice Settings-GUI in Python. As of April 12th, 2009, there is no stable release of this distribution yet, as the SHR team doesn't feel it to be good enough. You can find images though on the SHR buildhost.

FDOM was a distribution based on Om 2008, updated with many ready-to-use applications and with fixes posted in the mailing lists.

Om series

  • Om 2009 was intended to be the new distro; it is not a simple follow-on from Om 2008. It is based on the freesmartphone.org milestone 5.5 framework. Development of Om 2009 was ended and developers moved on to work on other distros instead.
Main article: Om2009


  • Om 2008 was released on August 8, 2008, to replace 2007.2. Prior to that, its codename was ASU (April/August Software Update). This is still the name of the branch in the version control system. This distribution integrates the Qtopia phone stack with a set of new Openmoko applications based on the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL). Qtopia being a more mature product than the GNOME Mobile stack, the standard phone applications (dialer, contacts, calculator, calendar) work better than in 2007.2. The Qtopia used in 2008.8 was ported to run on X11, contrary to standard Qtopia which uses the framebuffer. This allows non-Qt applications to safely share the screen with Qt applications.
Main article: Om 2008


  • Om 2007.2 was the first distribution created by Openmoko. The interface was totally finger-oriented, optimized for 285ppi, and very orange. It used the GTK+ stack, which is part of the GNOME Mobile platform. This distribution is now considered obsolete and not being worked on by Openmoko Inc or by OpenedHand.
Main article: Om 2007.2


Others / unreleased

  • The NeoPwn network auditng system's core is a modified Linux 2.6.24 kernel, with cross-compiled module driver support for the numerous compatible addon devices running on a FULL Debian (ARMEL) operating system. The filesystem has been optimized for performance and size and includes the NeoPwn menu system and several GUI dialogs for hardware control and attack automation. Status: Unknown, the GPL requires source code to be distributed only to customers.
  • RunningBear is an innovative, yet free and open-source Operating System for hackable devices driven by Bearstech. Lightweight, Portable, Secure, Friendly and Useful. Status: In development.
  • Poky and Sato, by OpenedHand/Intel. An open source platform build tool derived from OE. It is a complete software development environment for the creation of Linux devices. It enables you to design, develop, build, debug, and test a complete, modern, software stack using Linux, the X Window System and GNOME Mobile based application frameworks for both ARM and x86 based platforms. Status: The "Nightly Build" Image works fine on Neo Freerunner, but phone functionality doesn't.
  • PyNeo pyneo is a stack for mobile devices excessivly using dbus, glib and evas. Pyneo is NO distribution but a middleware or framework like FSO which itself developed from a very early version of pyneo. Current pyneo images are entirely based on debian instead of oe. Status: still active and in development! ask around on #pyneo.org
  • mySTEP by Openmoko distributor Golden Delicious Computers is based on GNUstep and brings a Objective-C API to the Neo. Core GUI frameworks are "Foundation" & "AppKit". It has been shown on FOSDEM 2008, LinuxTag 2008 and SYSTEMS 2008 to run on the Neo 1973. If someone reengineers UIKit, (open) source code compatibility to iPhone apps appears achievable. Status: slow progress behind the scenes
  • Archlinux is a distribution that follows the KISS principle.

Features by distribution/release target

Generally, distributions can differ on one or more of the following components:

  • The bootsplash screen image. This is purely decorative.
  • The bootloader. Theoretically, any version of uboot could be used with any distribution. In the future Qi will replace uboot.
  • The kernel. GNU/Linux kernels versions 2.6.24, 2.6.26 or 2.6.28 can be found. Some have modules compiled in, others have modules compiled separately. If compiled separately, modules can be distributed in the same package file as the kernel or separately.
  • Middleware: daemons to handle GSM calls or GPS, sound system, personal information storage and so on. Qt and Android have their own subsystems, FreeSmartphone.Org (FSO) is working towards a standard-based Free Software one.
  • Display driver. The original Qt Extended uses the framebuffer, most other distributions today use X11.
  • Libraries and application framework (widget toolkit and and graphical environment) : EFL, Qt, Gtk+ or Java ?
  • Basic telephony applications: voice calls, SMS, alarm clock...
  • Smartphone applications: GPS, media player, simple games, web browser...
  • Open source applications: more games, scientific, you name it...

Qalee is a phone environment developed in Qt4 above the fso stack. It works on the freerunner under any distribution that supports Qt4. It's not finished yet but you can test a preview version with the official Qalee distributon. This release includes no new features, but many fixes for things that didn’t work or were incomplete in 0.0.2. You can read full announcement, or take a look at some of changes:

  • Qalee is now based on shr instead of debian.
  • clock widget now shows a calendar when clicked.
  • status panel widget shows gsm network name and power and internet connection status while on wifi or gprs.
  • screen menu : you can now choose the background picture with a cover-flow effect, letting the backlight always on now works.
  • network menu : all entries work, gsm one is a little buggy though.
  • Wifi works despite the the bug in the kernel 2.6.29 opened for 4 month.
  • application menu : to launch application just click on it :) when launched the button becomes green, to close it, press the close button which becomes red and click on the application you want to close
  • power button supports suspend on short press, or menu on longer press.
  • phone application is now litephone modified to use Qalee’s buttons.
  • GorshPlayer is broken, if you have Qt4.5.2 librairies with phonon working on shr, tell me (?)//FIXME
  • keyboard is still literky.
  • Themable interface allows you to change some colours of the interface.


WARNING :
Qalee is in pre-alpha stage, a lot of thinks are not coded yet, other are broken, some may be changed. It's just a preview version of the current work! http://www.qalee.org

SHR is a community driven distribution. It contains some basic EFL based applications which make use of the FSO. There currently is an EFL (with elementary) dialer, messages and contacts application programmed in C, as well as a nice Settings-GUI in Python. As of April 12th, 2009, there is no stable release of this distribution yet, as the SHR team doesn't feel it to be good enough. You can find images though on the SHR buildhost.

Om series

  • Om 2009 was intended to be the new distro; it is not a simple follow-on from Om 2008. It is based on the freesmartphone.org milestone 5.5 framework. Development of Om 2009 was ended and developers moved on to work on other distros instead.
Main article: Om2009


  • Om 2008 was released on August 8, 2008, to replace 2007.2. Prior to that, its codename was ASU (April/August Software Update). This is still the name of the branch in the version control system. This distribution integrates the Qtopia phone stack with a set of new Openmoko applications based on the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL). Qtopia being a more mature product than the GNOME Mobile stack, the standard phone applications (dialer, contacts, calculator, calendar) work better than in 2007.2. The Qtopia used in 2008.8 was ported to run on X11, contrary to standard Qtopia which uses the framebuffer. This allows non-Qt applications to safely share the screen with Qt applications.
Main article: Om 2008


  • Om 2007.2 was the first distribution created by Openmoko. The interface was totally finger-oriented, optimized for 285ppi, and very orange. It used the GTK+ stack, which is part of the GNOME Mobile platform. This distribution is now considered obsolete and not being worked on by Openmoko Inc or by OpenedHand.

Others / unreleased

  • The NeoPwn network auditng system's core is a modified Linux 2.6.24 kernel, with cross-compiled module driver support for the numerous compatible addon devices running on a FULL Debian (ARMEL) operating system. The filesystem has been optimized for performance and size and includes the NeoPwn menu system and several GUI dialogs for hardware control and attack automation. Status: Unknown, the GPL requires source code to be distributed only to customers.
  • RunningBear is an innovative, yet free and open-source Operating System for hackable devices driven by Bearstech. Lightweight, Portable, Secure, Friendly and Useful. Status: In development.
  • Poky and Sato, by OpenedHand/Intel. An open source platform build tool derived from OE. It is a complete software development environment for the creation of Linux devices. It enables you to design, develop, build, debug, and test a complete, modern, software stack using Linux, the X Window System and GNOME Mobile based application frameworks for both ARM and x86 based platforms. Status: The "Nightly Build" Image works fine on Neo Freerunner, but phone functionality doesn't.
  • PyNeo pyneo is a stack for mobile devices excessivly using dbus, glib and evas. Pyneo is NO distribution but a middleware or framework like FSO which itself developed from a very early version of pyneo. Current pyneo images are entirely based on debian instead of oe. Status: still active and in development! ask around on #pyneo.org
  • mySTEP by Openmoko distributor Golden Delicious Computers is based on GNUstep and brings a Objective-C API to the Neo. Core GUI frameworks are "Foundation" & "AppKit". It has been shown on FOSDEM 2008, LinuxTag 2008 and SYSTEMS 2008 to run on the Neo 1973. If someone reengineers UIKit, (open) source code compatibility to iPhone apps appears achievable. Status: slow progress behind the scenes
  • Archlinux is a distribution that follows the KISS principle.

Features by distribution/release target

Generally, distributions can differ on one or more of the following components:

  • The bootsplash screen image. This is purely decorative.
  • The bootloader. Theoretically, any version of uboot could be used with any distribution. In the future Qi will replace uboot.
  • The kernel. GNU/Linux kernels versions 2.6.24, 2.6.26 or 2.6.28 can be found. Some have modules compiled in, others have modules compiled separately. If compiled separately, modules can be distributed in the same package file as the kernel or separately.
  • Middleware: daemons to handle GSM calls or GPS, sound system, personal information storage and so on. Qt and Android have their own subsystems, FreeSmartphone.Org (FSO) is working towards a standard-based Free Software one.
  • Display driver. The original Qt Extended uses the framebuffer, most other distributions today use X11.
  • Libraries and application framework (widget toolkit and and graphical environment) : EFL, Qt, Gtk+ or Java ?
  • Basic telephony applications: voice calls, SMS, alarm clock...
  • Smartphone applications: GPS, media player, simple games, web browser...
  • Open source applications: more games, scientific, you name it...
