I have a GTA02v6 with debian installed on a microSD. I use the freerunner as gps and not as my primary phone.

Issues:

• I don't have wifi working with a siemens sx763 router, shr from autumn 2009 worked fine :|

Development environment:

I use http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armel/ upgraded to sid for testing / compiling stuff. I use distcc as described here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Development_Environment#Building_debian_packages_with_qemu_and_cross-compiling_distccs

To cross compile debian-fso linux-2.6-openmoko:

ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- dpkg-buildpackage -aarmel

How to pass parameters:

First of all install uboot-envtools then: cp /usr/share/doc/uboot-envtools/examples/openmoko_gta02.config /etc/fw_env.config fw_printenv fw_printenv bootcmd * modify the ouput accordingly fw_setenv bootcmd modified_output

Stuff you want to do on your freerunner:

What i'm working on:

• DONE - silly patch makes webkitgtk js performance on par with chromium https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42856
• DONE - got all the patches to get bootchart2 working on armel in 0.12.3, http://github.com/mmeeks/bootchart/issues#issue/8, debian kernel still needs to be recompiled because of http://bugs.debian.org/588200

• have a debian openmoko 2.6.29 kernel which can run all the useful tools out of the box, patch here http://people.freedesktop.org/~rm/moko/add-config-for-bootchart2-powertop.diff

• theorarm merge branch (plus dave milici patches) ported to latest theora. Have build issues with examples and decode stuff is buggy, nonetheless 30% faster on some simple benchmarks with video_dump: http://people.freedesktop.org/~rm/theorarm/theorarm-to-git-8ec0d25c0f21c82f.diff
