It has passed a mechanical test (just some connectors and buttons mounted) and this bare board fits exactly into the GTA02 case. Next, some chips are soldered and we do measurements. Before we solder the more expensive components (CPU, UMTS module). I will keep you updated.

Re: QtMoko v26 Qtopia Documents System
Hi Sferic Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure what you mean by cleaning the sqlite3-document database. Is this performed in the "Rescan System", or separately? Anyway, I tried to umount, rescan, mount, rescan with no luck...

Re: QtMoko v26 Qtopia Documents System
Hi Nashin in a similar situation I found it helpfus to umount the document-partition, scan the system and after cleaning the sqlite3-document-database re-mount the document-partition and scan again. After this I can reach my new Documents. Hope, this help.

You can try "Rescan documents" from Documents screen (the bottom right icon in main menu). Otherwise you can try give me output of "mount" and "ls /media/card/Documents".

QtMoko v26 Qtopia Documents System
Hi everyone My Current Config is: Qi Bootloader 1.02 (from SHR-testing feed) uSD Card (16GB) Partitions: 512 MB: ext2: QtMoko v26 512 MB: ext2: SHR-testing (2010/05/29) 512 MB: ext2: GameRunner 0.2 Rest: fat32: General Stuff... NAND Flash: QtMoko v26 (again, backup for when SD Card removed) When booting from either QtMoko v26 (uSD Card or NAND Flash): In the File Manager, i can see the "General Stuff" files above in: /media/card/Documents/ (so I believe that I have set up /etc/fstab correctly) but, they are not being "imported" into the Qtopia Documents System, so I cannot use them... Any ideas / suggestions? Thanks, Nashvin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
