TODO: Spellcheck.

This page will eventually replace the Kernel page.

This page is mostly useful for developers and power/curious users. If you are looking for a kernel to flash into your GTA01/GTA02 you might want to check the Distributions page instead. If you are really serios about finding a working kernel right away with no context whatsoever you will find prebuilt bootable kernel images called uImage* here: http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/releases/

General

External Linux kenel developers and Openmoko Linux kernel developers provide a working kernel for the Freerunner (Also known as GTA02) and also for the Neo1973 (Aka GTA01).

Right now there is an ongoing effort to reduce the distance between current Linux 2.6 (mainline) and the kernel in the Openmoko repository and thanks to that we can run the most recent released version of Linux 2.6.

Sources

The sources of the Linux kernel live in a GIT repository.

http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=summary

GIT is a fast version control system suited for the workflow that many kernel developers use. It is specially useful when you need to send patches for a project (who might in turn might need to send them upstream). This is an over-simplification but it gives you the idea in case you did not know.

Known issues

TODO: Link to more important open tickets.
