Openmoko Inc. driven release targets

Om 2009

Om 2009 is the 2009 release of Om. It is under development but you can download beta images here

Main article: Om2009


Om 2008.12

Om 2008.12 is an updated release of Om 2008.8. You can download the image here

Main article: Om 2008.12 Update


Om 2008.9 (ASU)

Om 2008.9 is an updated release of Om 2008.8. You can download the image here

Main article: Om 2008.9 Update


Neo FreeRunner images

There is no need to reflash if you have installed Om 2008.8 and used opkg update && opkg upgrade. Comment about naming scheme on the community mailinglist

The bleeding edge: Om "base / empty" images

The org.openmoko.dev branch does not have any applications preinstalled other than settings and installer, and it is unstable for now.

Images for testing are at: http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/unstable/ To get packages from testing, use this /etc/opkg/testing.conf :

src/gz testing-all http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/all
src/gz testing-arm http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/armv4t
src/gz testing-neo http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/neo1973
src/gz testing-gta02 http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/om-gta02

unstable comes from the same branch, compiled with the AUTOREV flag. There are no images, but packages are at http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/unstable/

Reference: See "Repository and Images" announcement for details on other "Base image", "testing" and "unstable".

Once you have this base image, you can install the GTK+ telephony apps including gsmd, or Qtopia, or Mickey's framework. Check out the FDOM page for an idea of what to install.

Om 2007.2 images (GTK)

Main article: Om 2007.2


Openmoko discontinued support for this release. Two external developers still offer their own builds.

Celtune

Celtune offers different Images and a huge amount of packages (2007.2, pyneo, fso) for neo1973, freerunner and others. Celtune images can be found here.

ScaredyCat

Andy Powell maintains images based on the 2007.2 software stack for the gta01 and gta02. A. Powell's ScaredyCat images can be found here.

FSO images (freesmartphone.org)

Main article: OpenmokoFramework


The file system will be in a jffs2 "summary" file. A file with the extension ".jffs2.summary" can be flashed to the FreeRunner just like an ordinary jffs2 file.

Android

Android now can run on Openmoko FreeRunner. About the Image, you can check Android page , to get the detail information. Android imagescan be found here.

Main article: SHR


Main article: SHR User Manual


navit tutorial The Stable Hybrid Release (SHR) is intended to be a community driven distribution composed of the FSO and some basic applications, that can be configured to use several different graphical toolkits, for example GTK or EFL. SHR is based on the FSO build. At first, SHR was introduced in order to use the Openmoko2007.2 GTK software in combination with the new FSO, but things have changed.

Download images (unstable currently recommended):

Non-Openmoko distributions

Qt Extended (formerly Qtopia) images

  • A alternate Neo 1973 image can be downloaded here

More Qtopia downloads

Addtional packages can be added from the Trolltech feed for this image, found at http://qtopia.net/packages/feed/4.3.2/neo/ To get to these packages, you need to add the feed as a source in the Qtopia package manager.

The release directories can contain up to four files:
