−	The Openmoko project has invested a lot of time & energy in making the Openmoko software stack work nicely on the Neo1973 phone. But it is your phone and, unlike most providers, we will not stop you from running whatever you like on the "bare metal" of the phone itself. And some people are never satisfied with a device until they've flashed the firmware multiple times. Here are some alternatives.

-There are two areas in which other OSes can take a part in Openmoko.
+If you use a non-Linux desktop (we call this the ''host OS''), you can find useful information in this article about connecting to your Openmoko smartphone or running/developing Openmoko software.
-First, not everybody will use Linux on the computer to access their phones (including download and develop software); we call this the ''host OS''.
-Second, some people may wish to run some other software than Openmoko on their devices, and especially other Linux distributions should be viable.

 The umodem(4) driver works with the u-boot console. When the umodem driver claims device 0x1457:0x5118, it becomes inaccessible to libusb-based applications such as dfu-util.
