Getting To Know Neo FreeRunner

AUX Button and phone jack(From left to right)
Power, USB and external GPS Antenna (From left to right)

Turning On Neo FreeRunner

You can boot your Neo FreeRunner in following ways:

Circle2.gif You can power up into an Openmoko image directly.
Circle2.gif Boot into U-Boot via NAND Flash.
Circle2.gif Boot into U-Boot via NOR Flash.

These ways allows you to update the kernel and root filesystem.

Log in Openmoko Image

Menu2.jpg

Press and hold Power button (about 8 seconds) until Openmoko splash screen turns up. You may now release the Power button, and Neo FreeRunner will continue to boot into Openmoko Image.


Log in U-Boot in NAND Flash

Menu7.jpg

Press and hold Power button, then press and hold AUX button (about 5~8 seconds ). You can see BOOT MENU for NAND Flash. Press AUX to select the options, Power to execute.

Log in U-Boot in NOR Flash

Menu6.jpg

Press and hold AUX button, then press and hold Power button. Release AUX button. You can see BOOT MENU for NOR Flash.

Flashing Neo FreeRunner

As Openmoko development continues, Openmoko regularly releases updated versions of the Openmoko root filesystem, the kernel, and the U-Boot. These may be programmed into the Flash memory of Neo FreeRunner. You can use the USB cable and Openmoko provided tool to flash Neo FreeRunner.

Neo FreeRunner needs to boot into U-Boot when flashing.

You can download the flashing tool from: http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/neo1973/deploy/glibc/images/neo1973/dfu-util

Flashing Kernel

You can download the latest kernel from http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/neo1973/deploy/glibc/images/neo1973/

Type in the following command in the terminal of a GNU/Linux host.

./dfu-util -a kernel -R -D uImage-2.6.24+svnr4082-r4055-r3-neo1973.bin

When flashing succeeds

status(0) = No error condition is present
Done!

Flashing Root Filesystem

You can download the latest root filesystem from : http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/neo1973/deploy/glibc/images/neo1973/

Type in the following command in the terminal of a GNU/Linux host.

./dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D openmoko-devel-image-fic-gta02.jffs2

When flashing succeeds

status(0) = No error condition is present
Done!

Connect To Neo FreeRunner By USB Networking

Connect Neo FreeRunner to Linux host with USB cable. After booting into Openmoko image, there will be a new interface, usb0, in your Linux host.

Manual Method

Type in the following command in the terminal of a GNU/Linux host.

ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0
ssh root@192.168.0.202

Press Enter to pass the password.

Automatic Method
  • Debian and derivatives (Ubuntu, Sidux etc.)

Edit /etc/network/interfaces

auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.0.200
netmask 255.255.255.0

Restart the networking service and type in the following command in the terminal of GNU/Linux host.

ssh root@192.168.0.202

Press Enter to pass the password.

Making things even more automatic

If you don't want to remember the IP number of your phone you can create an alias by adding the following line to your /etc/hosts:

192.168.0.202   openmoko

Now it should immediately be possible to connect your phone using the following command line:

ssh root@openmoko
