Hi Folks,
I've flashed the rootfs and a new kernel.

So then I got all excited and inserted my SIM into it and powered up.

Turns out I should have read some more. My current phone (Nokia N80 - can I run openmoko on that?), is a 3G phone and it seems that the neo doesn't like it.

I then stole one of my teams SIM and it fired up fine. I get a GSM signal but cant make phone calls.

I am still finding my way around the phone. I noticed that the icons disappeared from the home page, anyway I'm off to investigate the machine.

One thing though

cu -l /dev/ttyACM0 Only gives errors at present cu: open (/dev/ttyACM0): Permission denied
cu: /dev/ttyACM0: Line in use


My Linux systems skills obviously need honing.

Anyway, I'll head off and study now.

Stay well,
Barry

Welcome to OpenMoko, Barry!

All you need to do is flash a new kernel and file system. Get the latest from

http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/neo1973/deploy/glibc/images/neo1973/

Good luck and let us know how it goes,

Michael

Hi,
I just took delivery of a neo1973 (I'm in Australia btw, Sydney).
I have inserted the microSD and SIM cards and booted the machine up.

I get the boot logo and then Linux tries to start but I get the following:

"Kernel Panic- not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel"

While I have a fair bit of Linux experience, I have no idea how to connect to the machine or edit files or whatever.

I am looking on the Openmoko site, but I would really appreciate any advice.

I am very excited by this.

Stay well,
Barry
