qtmoko on nand - qi or u-boot?
Hello! The Qi page on the wiki (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qi) says: actively developed (u-boot on GTA02 is deprecated) But the qtmoko installation page (http://qtmoko.org/wiki/Installation) says: Method 1: Installing on NAND [...] If you flash it you also need U-boot which is flashed with this command So, is it not possible to install qtmoko to nand using qi instead of u-boot? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Qi doesn't allow to install (read flash to NAND) anything because it doesn't support DFU. But you always have an option of booting NOR u-boot to flash whatever you need. -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.com ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

A friend of mine lent me his freerunner to toy around with, so I'm just now acclimating myself to the phone - any docs online that compare the pros/cons between installing/flashing a distribution on nand vs. microSD card? ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I would recommend to have daily phone on NAND. It behaves much better when you improperly shutdown the phone (e.g. pull off battery). On SD card you have most often ext2/ext3 which need running fsck and i have experienced corrupted files. In NAND there is jffs2 - i never experienced it. SD card has the capacity advantage. It's good if you compile on freerunner or install some big apps. I use Qi for booting from SD card and u-boot for booting from NAND because it's comfortable (POWER for SD card, POWER+AUX for NAND) and you can edit /boot/append-GTA02 boot params for SD card easily.
