Yup, that chip could be interesting. > design. Since the N900 has a completely hackable software stack, it's > very likely that the GSM firmware / utilities might also be available. Has anyone gone through Nokia's kernel code yet and confirmed that there are no binary-only drivers and such ? > The 3530 is designed to use PoP (package-on-package) SDRAM / NAND > chips which reduce memory latency and power consumption. PoP is pretty much standard these days. Even the the 2442 in GTA02 and gta02-core is PoP, just a little short on the RAM side. But more modern PoPs/MCPs from Samsung would solve that as well. > It also has a > very powerful and integrated 2D/3D GPU, and video/image/audio codec. As far as I know, at least 3D is still non-open. Not sure about the other bits. > The project would be greatly simplified if it weren't for the > unavailability of the Calypso, Oh, we don't really like the Calypso all that much ;-) > and the desire to have a prototype-able design. Hmm, what good would be a design you can't prototype ? :) > I wonder if the LCD of the original FR is > compatible with the OMAP... Almost certainly yes. One word of warning about the OMAP. I've been told by people who have made OMAP-based and Samsung-based designs that the OMAP is quite demanding in terms of support chips, which complicates the design and makes it expensive. The open documentation is great, no doubt about that. - Werner _______________________________________________ gta02-core mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/gta02-core
