In the spirit of open source, I'd prefer to ship them to someone who is still hacking on OpenEXZ, whether userland or kernel. I don't want to cover the shipping costs though, since the item itself will be free. Anyone interested, please holler. Likewise if anyone wants to work on the E680i I have a few spares. I would still wish them to work better with OpenEZX, but haven't had time to fix it myself.

Yes, and its 2.6.29-rc5. Power status and bluetooth depends on the baseband processor on E680, so you will need gen-blob flashed to the phone to get it working. I realized that last night, but so far haven't succeeded, because when I boot that 2.6.29 kernel (with modules) the mtd devices are not working. On IRC somebody mentioned that I could use boot_usb to flash genblob? Hmm like this I guess: https://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/openezx-devel/2008-December/002473.html Is that what I should do, or it's better to figure out what's wrong with the MTDs first? I'm glad to have X with the touchscreen, and usbnet working at least. I would really like to get bluetooth and power management working next. It will if I build a kernel with OpenEmbedded, right? No. No to what? Oh I know now to use the openezx git rather than OE for kernels, I guess that's what you meant. When I built my own kernel that way, it did not find rootfs. (MMC/SD drivers not working?) BTW why is it that rootfs has to be loaded from SD? Will it be able to boot from internal flash? Seems like it could if the MTD drivers are part of the kernel (not modules).

Seems like it could if the MTD drivers are part of the kernel (not modules). The e680i, like other gen1 devices, have a combination of nor and nand flash. Nor is no problem, we just need the mapping and can read/write/boot from it. Antonio added the table for A780 around a week ago, should be easy to do the same for E680. Anything I can do to help with that? The nand chip on the other hand is a problem. It's M-Systems nand for what drivers are available but due to patents crap we are not allowed to use them. So from our view this chip does more or less not exist. Bummer. If you don't care about the original system it should be not to hard to replace all partionions on NOR with a kernel and rootfs from us. How much of each type is there? NOR is enough for a root partition? Which partitions are which type of flash? (might be good info I can add to http://wiki.openezx.org/E680i )

This one? http://svn.openezx.org/trunk/src/kernel-2.6/patches/ezx-mtd-map.patch Bring it over to the current work in git with the A780 as reference and send us the patch. Good question. IIRC correctly the nand was for the /usr stuff. More a guess though. Perhpas someone else knows better here. Kolja Dummann pointed it out so I updated the wiki with a link to the other page about flash on Gen1 phones. http://wiki.openezx.org/E680i
E680i status?
I managed to boot with images from here http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/images/a780/ but there are some things not working (no power status, I think it's not charging the battery, no bluetooth). Are there any E680i-specific builds being posted anywhere? Is 2.6.23 the newest kernel that works? What about the one here: http://people.openezx.org/wyrm/images/latest/ Is it supposed to be universal for all the phones? http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/images/e680/ is empty.
