Developer program laptops are shipped out as US/International keyboards, English language, AK flag set, which means they do NOT need activation. They are permanently activated in the manufacturing data.
The only thing they need to be a developer unit is a developer key. One more reason to add to Scott's list of why laptops are sent out to G1G1 'write protected' is so they are protected from non-signed images coming from malicious sources. If you don't use a developer's key to un protect the laptop, then you can only upgrade to OLPC signed builds. This is an important part of the bitfrost security that is implemented and working! FFM - if you really got two laptops from the developer's program that weren't activated, then could you put those details into an RT ticket and we'll debug it there. If there really are laptops going out that are un-activated that we don't know about, that will be a serious problem. The ONLY un-activated laptops are ones built for Peru, Mexico, and Uruguay. These are very specific SKUs and that include Spanish keyboards. Please open a ticket and let's figure that out. Thanks, Kim On Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 1:07 PM, C.
