Om 2009 is the next version of the official Openmoko distribution. It is currently under development and should be released in June 2009 to replace Om 2008. It will be based on freesmartphone.org milestone 5.5 framework.
Flashing
The latest images are under testing.
Updating to the latest uboot or qi is also recommended.
Fullscreen
NeoFreerunner
Download fso-paroli-image from fso-paroli-image.
Download uImage.bin from uImage.bin.
Download qi.udfu from qi.udfu.
Detailed instructions for flashing the kernel and uboot. Qi instructions are in the Qi installation wiki.
The image will boot fullscreen into Paroli and all of the features below will be available
Neo 1973
The images are under testing. There are some rootfs tarballs for installing onto an SD card. The images and tarballs have a couple of issues.
1) the battery driver is still not working correctly.
2) The g_ether driver is not getting loaded at boot so an entry needs to be added to the /etc/modules file.
The image will boot fullscreen into Paroli and all of the features below will be available
Development
Currently Om 2009 is starting its beta phase. Testing builds will be generated into the testing disto.
The progress of FSO development is documented regularly in the Status updates at OpenmokoFramework. For the Om 2009 release plan see [1].
This page will be updated to reflect the status of Om 2009

Bug List and Known Issues
gsm0710muxd: "Modem does not respond to AT commands" OM 2257
illume: exit dialog is only 1 pixel wide
after using the keyboard in Paroli it doesn't go away until the window gets closed
Tweaks
Add a bind-home directory to the first partition ( must be ext2 or ext3 ) of your SD card. When the system boots it will mount the bind-home directory as /home/root. This allow you to reflash the phone without losing anything in your home directory ( Paroli contacts and settings, maps, etc )
Debugging and Bug Reporting
Persistent logs
To have persistent logs, ones that remain after a reboot, the /var/log symlink needs to be turned into a directory
rm /var/log mkdir /var/log
Your log files should now be full of information and remain there after a reboot.
Reporting Bugs
Please enable debugging as above. Attaching frameworkd.log and paroli.log will aid in solving the bug.
Please search the bug list for you issue before adding it to trac. Some of these issues might be Paroli or FSO issue so you can also check their tracs for solutions or discussions.
