Hi I've received a GTA-02 for a couple of weeks to see if it will suit my needs.
I've identified the distribution on the devices internal drive as FDOM based on screenshots of the various distributions online. Settings / System Information shows: Version Build ID cd512fde1aee5f4ba368d8acc1f2fb7a32773d3 Branch org.openmoko.stable Build Host barbie Time Stamp Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:15:27 + 0800 U-Boot Neo1973 Bootloader U-Boot 1.3.2-moko12 I found the instructions on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qtopia to be the most clear on how to install a distribution to an SD card so I've followed those instructions to install the files of qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-flash.tgz (from http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=98). So now I have what I believe to be everything I need on the SD but I'm unable to boot it! I've tried several times to follow the instructions on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_the_Neo_FreeRunner as well as those on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Bootloader but I cannot get the device to display the boot menu. >From the above I understand that the following should suffice: 1) shut down the device and disconnect it from the computer 2) remove the battery for at least 30 secs 3) press and hold the AUX button 4) press and hold the power button until the boot menu appears The first thing I see is "OpenMoko", then the initialization messages scroll by and FDOM is started. (The AUX button flashes once shortly before "Openmoko" is displayed on the screen.) As this is my first experience with the FreeRunner I'm reluctant to even try and flash the internal memory before I've been able to install a distribution on the SD card. Any pointers on how I can access the boot menu? What information can/should I provide further? Thanks in advance Bram _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
