debian installed, uImage.bin not recognised
Hi After about 90 minutes, the install.sh all command completed with request to reboot. No errors reported. On power on, it boots into the old Qtmoko. When I explicitly boot from microSD on the NOR screen, it flashes an error than uImage.bin not recognised - no kernel image By deafult the new boot partition is mounted when it boots into the Qtmoko and I get a listing neo:~# ls -lrt /media/card total 2216 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1509096 Aug 7 15:10 uImage.bin-2.6.29-20100313.git973a41fc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 682681 Aug 7 15:10 System.map-2.6.29-20100313.git973a41fc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51778 Aug 7 15:12 config-2.6.29-20100313.git973a41fc drwx-- 2 root root 12288 Jan 29 19:01 lost+found lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Jan 29 19:52 uImage.bin -> uImage.bin-2.6.29-20100313.git973a41fc Which to me looks pretty healthy.

Re: debian installed, uImage.bin not recognised
Thanks Timo > What parameters did you give to install.sh? In particular, which boot > loader are you using and how is it configured? TASKS="ALL" QI=true SD_SWAP_SIZE=128 DASH_BINSH=false ./install.sh all anyways I think this is the command I issued on the single occasion that the install process completed. Qi bootloader not configured and just flashed as per the manual. I do not understand why the Debian maintainers did not create a static respository istead of linking to unstable that is a moving target. I will give this another try when I have some more time. Any suggestions on how to get a standard debian installed on sdcard most welcome. The UI does not interest me, I want to install a JRE and som proprietory software that runs on the JVM. Thanks.

Freerunner as a mobile gateway
Hi I am considering using the Freerunner as a mobile gateway to track GPS on a vehicle and to receive data from wireless sensors in the vehicle and send the sensor data and GPS data through GPRS. We may need to plug a customised wireless device into the freerunner usb. An external GSM and GPS antenna will be used. The device will have to run reliably and be robust for 8 to 12 weeks, so that means a customised battery. Power use efficiency means putting keeping the device in low-power consumption mode for most of the time and waking every 30 minutes (say) for polling and transmitting. Has anyone implemented such a solution or has ideas about feasibility? -- - Eric Smith ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Freerunner as a mobile gateway -> shipping container
Thanks Al, Main application here is in a sea shipping container. The key issues are RF communication (when in a GSM range of course) and power management due to the long haul journey including journey overland. Power supply has to be in the form of an additional battery. Technical issue is to have minimal size OS and to be low in power consumption. And robust. All ideas welcome.

SIP Client
Hi I have not used my freerunnner much since I bought it soon after public launch due to battery issues. Recently flashed the latest unstable SHR and initially looked reliable and promising as a regular phone. But then I experienced missed calls and failure to dial. (perhaps I will try Qt Extended Improved to see if this works better as a regular phone) But I know there is a lot of new work on SHR and I hope that it allow me to have a reliable regular phone. Meanwhile, I want to use the freerunner as a WIFI connected SIP client. No need to make cellular calls or do *anything* else than VOIP. What is the advice on both the platform and application above it to reliably support WIFI and a sip client? I see linphone is mentioned in this forum. I do have a problem with batterys not charging well and discharging fast, maybe some distributions fix this?
