Hello.
I've had the neo freefrunner gta-02 a few weeks.
After browsing through a few distributions, qtmoko became my choice. I
think this distribution is really great! I flashed the kernel and rootfs
with
uImage-v21.bin
and
qtmoko-debian-v21.jffs2
respectively and all seems ok, maybe better
up.
v21 is unstable right? I wonder if the problem goes away by stepping back
to, say v19? What do you think?
There's just this last step with GPS...
Best,
Toby

So, give me a reason where you will need that.
As long as we have at least a VGA resolution screen, it is
relatively easy
to the particulars of the Freerunner hardware?
Porting Android sounds to me like a way to spend a huge amount of
time to produce another distribution for the Freerunner which will
be no more reliable (at best) than the others ones are.
