That's what I've done until now to test it: - attach power, serial console works - boot from sd card (works) - revert I2C-fix from u-boot and kernel - works without: the hardware is ok, the power supply issues are gone. - test switches and LEDs (seems ok) - turn GPS on and off (works, didn't wait for a fix yet) - attach an external GPS antenna (was not recognized, maybe my antenna is broken) - boot debian and lxde (works) - test touch screen (works) - attach an USB cable (gives errors in dmesg, GTA04 is not recognized as USB device, usb host not tested yet) - add driver and firmware for WLAN (chip is recognized, driver seems to be buggy, does not execute commands) - enable bluetooth (without success yet) Enough for today, I will continue tomorrow.

Do you have the GSM chip enabled ? Well, the UMTS modem module is not yet soldered on those two boards we have so far. The reason is that it is a littele easier to test the internal USB port on which the module is hooked up if the module is not connected. And we wanted to reduce the amount of money we would scrap, if the board did fail. But so far it looks good and we finally can add one of those (expensive) UMTS modules.

I don't have experiences with USB-I2C interfaces but anyone should work. Be sure to add a 3V voltage regulator (LDO) if you want to power the board from USB which supplies 5V. If you want you can build your own adapter using an old VGA cable. The I2C bus is used for DDC. If you have a spare VGA or DVI connector on your computer you could use it to connect the FRNB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector pin 12 and pin 15). To power the board you could try pin 9 which should carry 5V. Use a LDO regulator to get 3.3V or 3.0V which is needed for the sensors. The I2C bus needs level translation too. Fortunately, if you have a complete board, the needed chip is already included. I will add a section to the wiki about how to connect the board to a 5V I2C bus. Pinout and more documentation will be added too. Hope that helps, Christoph ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
