There are three ways to boot your Neo FreeRunner. 
+
You can power up into an Openmoko Image from NAND Flash or NOR Flash.
+
Alternately, you may also boot into U-Boot, which will allow you to update the kernel, root filesystem.

+
====Openmoko Image From NAND Flash====
+
Press and hold Power button until Openmoko splash screen shows up. You may now release the Power button, and Neo FreeRunner will continue to boot into Openmoko Image.

+
====OpenMoko Image From NOR Flash====
+
Press and hold Power button and Auxiliary button simultaneously.

Getting To Know Neo FreeRunner

Turning On Neo FreeRunner

There are three ways to boot your Neo FreeRunner. You can power up into an Openmoko Image from NAND Flash or NOR Flash. Alternately, you may also boot into U-Boot, which will allow you to update the kernel, root filesystem.

Openmoko Image From NAND Flash

Press and hold Power button until Openmoko splash screen shows up. You may now release the Power button, and Neo FreeRunner will continue to boot into Openmoko Image.

OpenMoko Image From NOR Flash

Press and hold Power button and Auxiliary button simultaneously.

Power Up Into U-Boot

You can download the connection tool from : http://svn.openmoko.org/developers/werner/neocon

Connect Neo FreeRunner to Linux host with USB cable Key in the command in the terminal of Linux host

./neocon /dev/ttyACM0

Press Enter

[Closed]

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/

Key in the command in the terminal of Linux host

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

When flashing succeeds

Flashing Root Filesystem

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

Key in the command in the terminal of 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 a Linux host with a USB cable. After booting to an Openmoko image, there will be a new interface, usb0, in your Linux host.

Manual Method

Key in the command in the terminal of 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

Using Ubuntu 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 key in the command in the terminal of Linux host

ssh root@192.168.0.202
