However, I couldn't help noticing: seeing the non-free OS X (?) here makes me bit nervous. Well, we can simply not expect that we can make everything free and with free tools only. The production machines use ... something that starts with a big W. The chips we use, are designed with some unknown non-free VHDL tools. The courier service finally delivering the components or units uses some servers for the tracking information we don't have control about. My attitude is: don't be fundamentalistic with freedom but focus on free and open software (and information exchange). The goal of the GTA04 is to support free and open software better as any other portable hardware you can get. And this is independent from using non-free tools during design and production. If we rule out to work with any non-free tool, we can't even start. So we use non-free tools where it is the best decision to bring forward the project. If the project becomes successfull, we can think about replacing more and more of those non-free components and tools. But this is IMHO the second step. BTW, we plan to put the tester software under GPL (which is not forbidden for OSX application software).

GTA04A3 Early Adopter boards in final production test stage
Hi all, the production of the remaining pre-ordered GTA04 Early Adopter boards is now running and we have received the first three of them. So we were able to attach them to the new GTA04-Tester, that has been set up. Since a Video shows more than we can describe - here is one showing the Tester and how the boards are tested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCjM48BqfYo Enjoy! All 3 boards have passed the test and the others are expected to arrive this week. Let's cross fingers that they also pass the tests and that there is no severe issue in the areas that are not tested... Nikolaus Schaller Plot: The test equipment consists of some old MacMini (PowerPC based) with USB cable, a SD card with the hardware-validation Linux kernel and a battery. Testing starts by inserting the SD card, adding a wire to hold the battery, connect USB and finally insert the Battery. Soon after doing this, U-Boot switches on the Power LED to red/yellow/green. The test software thinks that there is no connection on USB, since the kernel is still booting and setting up the musb driver and the ethernet gadget. After a while, the first ping to the board becomes successful, and the detailled tests start. Tests include reading the IMEI from the UMTS modem module, configuring WLAN and scanning for the MacMini's WLAN and Bluetooth transmitters. Finally, almost all tests are passed, except the one for the Camera module - which is not plugged in. Please note, that this test is not really complete. Amongst the areas not tested are: Display, Audio, UMTS transmission, Vibracall, GPS sensitivity.

Nikolaus, Since a Video shows more than we can describe - here is one showing the Tester and how the boards are tested: Very interesting video, thanks (as always) for keeping us informed (as always)!
