Purpose

MokoForesight is an independent hardware lab inside Openmoko to scout, analyze, and write proof-of-concept drivers for new open source chips/modules. It will accept tasks from Openmoko product teams or from the community, and maintain its own priorities.

Chip Scouting

Chip/Module Freedom Requirements Bussiness Requirements Technical Requirements Specs
SIMCOM5210 All docs can be opened under the letter of authorization Aug 8.13 Teenie says it's OK. Good (Shawn Aug.7.2008) [1]
WiFi and BT Combo Module (AR6002+BC6) Not Checked Not Checked Good (Shawn Aug.7.2008) [2]WIFI[3]Bluetooth
Wavecom WMP100 AT docs open, ability to program new AT commands for everyone with a "free"(ly available) SDK. Order quantity? Component is fine, but only supports Class10 GPRS unfortunately (Shawn Aug.11.2008) No idea, see wavecom.com (sort of)
Audience A1010 No, waiting for answer(Aug.12.2008) NA NA NA
STM32F103 (MPU) Full documentation appears to be on Web  ? Looks promising, see here for feature wish list. STM32 (CORTEX M3)
UC864 (3.5G modem) Detailed documentation on Web  ? First impression is good UMTS/HSDPA
Freescale i.MX Products (AP) Full documentation appears to be on Web  ? Looks good i.MX
