My write up and the distro are for the cable method only, so the new release of loadtools does not does not push it past sell by date. Thanks for the heads up though, because I'm eventually aiming to produce a sdcard distro that gives the option to use either method and that will need to have the latest loadtools installed. -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Thanks, David! And just in time, I've got a new release of loadtools out: ftp://ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG/pub/GSM/FreeCalypso/loadtools-r2.tar.bz2 Changes from loadtools-r1 to loadtools-r2: * A flash ID check has been implemented in fc-loadtool, invoked automatically before doing any erase or program operations, or explicitly at any time with the flash info command. This check ensures that the type of flash chip in the target GSM device is the same as what loadtool thinks it is, based on the hardware parameters file. * fc-xram command line syntax changed slightly in order to support immediate passing of the serial line to rvinterf/rvtdump. * Miscellaneous minor polish. Note that because the uSD card distro which David just put together does not include loadtools internally (requires the use of the serial cable instead, with loadtools running on your PC), nothing in that distro became outdated as a result of this new loadtools release. Just download the new loadtools and build them on your GNU/Linux PC. VLR, SF ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

testing the free calypso software
As the author claims, I've found his early steps towards a freeing of the calypso modem to work in the same way as the official moko11 release. Also the tools he's provided work equally well for flashing the moko11 firmware onto the freerunner as they do his own leo2moko-r1 offering. I've done a bit of work, which I hope will encourage other people to give it a test. There is a full write up at http://winterveldt.co.za/leo2moko.html, with links to a distro I've prepared for the sole purpose of flashing your freerunner's calypso - either with leo2moko or moko11 firmware. The distro runs from sdcard and boots from the freerunners NOR menu, so you do not need to disturb anything in NAND. -- David Matthews m...@dmatthews.org ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
