Thanks Paul, I'm trying to flash my GSM firmware and running into a problem. I get to the point where I run the fluid command line and it just sits there. Here are the steps I'm taking for doing the flashing. I'm following the docs on the wiki at: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/GSM/Flashing. After I get the Bootloader: (reset target) message, I run "s3c24xx-gpio b7=1" in another xterm, ssh'ed into the FR. and the main window just sits there. Here's the output of what I'm typing in the main window: r...@om-gta02:/usr/sbin# echo 0 >/sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm- gsm.0/power_on r...@om-gta02:/usr/sbin# echo 1 >/sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm- gsm.0/power_on r...@om-gta02:/usr/sbin# s3c24xx-gpio b7=0 r...@om-gta02:/usr/sbin# echo "a...@poff" >/dev/ttySAC0 r...@om-gta02:/usr/sbin# FLUID_PORT=/dev/ttySAC0 FLUID_FLOWCONTROL=h fluid.exe \ -oO -b 115200\ -f /home/root/gsm_ac_gp_fd_pu_em_cph_ds_vc_cal35_ri_36_amd8_ts0- moko10.m0 FLUID Revision 2.27, (23 Aug 2004).

How long should I wait for the Bootloader to respond to the "s3c24xx- gpio b7=1" command ? The documentation makes it sound like it should happen right away.
