GTA04A4

GTA04A4 is a new motherboard, that replaces the one inside your Neo 1973 (GTA01) or Neo Freerunner (GTA02). It reuses the case, the battery, the display, the antenna and speaker(s). GTA04 hardware features is here.

The GTA04A4 motherboard PCB layout development is based on GTA04A3 and its start was announced at 7 October 2011.

The replacement, populated GTA04, motherboard is available at Golden Delicious. A complete OpenPhoenux aka GTA04 Complete can be bought here

On 14th November 2011 GTA04A4 boards became available for (pre)order. First batch started shipment 31 January 2012.

Year 2010: GTA04A2

The GTA04A2 was the result of integrating GTA04A1/Openmoko Beagle Hybrid all onto a single PCB.

GTA04A2 was presented at FOSDEM 2011.

Year 2010: Openmoko Beagle Hybrid GTA04A1

Golden Delicious Computers has been secretly working on a OMAP3530 based project that apparently has the same target as Openmoko's GTA04 did have. The first result was announced in 2010 Openmoko Beagle Hybrid aka GTA04A1.

Year 2008: Openmoko Inc. GTA04

GTA04 was the codename of a phone that was whose development was canceled (within Openmoko, Inc.). For more information about other phones in development, visit Phone Development. This phone would have been based on a different system-on-a-chip.

Specifications

The GTA04 would have been a GTA03 but with a major hardware revision

New:

  • USB 2.0 would be added on the GTA04 at the earliest
  • 3G would be added on the GTA04 at the earliest
  • Based on a more advanced SoC
  • maybe based on the samsung 6400 or 6410
  • integrated graphics
  • Sean put a hiring on the community and devel list, see here so there will be OpenGL Es and the 6410 eventually
  • there had been meetings in April 2008 within Openmoko - see [2]
