SD card Was: Updating freerunner to latest snapshot (WAS: Re: )
Actually I was wondering, how many people actually use the sd card and what size is suggested for the sd card? there are several threads regarding this. the included 512mb is supposed to work. with other (4g and 8g) notably have suspend/resume problems been reported, which is worked on. btw: please change the subject appropriately -- it's rather confusing to get a question like that under the heading updating to last snapshot. even better: open a new thread. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Updating freerunner to latest snapshot (WAS: Re: )
Thanks! are the steps for the neo1973 different? I noticed you were explaining the steps for the freerunner which I think might be more updated/easier to use. For example, I don't have opkg on my phone. Does anyone have any steps for the neo1973 that differ from the wiki?

Updating freerunner to latest snapshot (WAS: Re: )
Lynn Nguyen wrote: Where do you guys get your snapshots? I think I would like to just reflash the openmoko. These are the steps I originally took... Does anyone know if I am actually doing it right? What I did was flash my freerunner to the latest milestone, from here: http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Freerunner/ Instructions here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_FreeRunner Then upgraded all the packages: # this has to be done on the terminal on the openmoko opkg update opkg upgrade dropbear # this can then be done from ssh opkg upgrade Note that currently this clobbers your kernel, so you need to restore it by getting the latest kernel from here (or similar, newer place): http://buildhost.openmoko.org/daily/freerunner/200807/ It'll be called uImage-2.6.24something-om-gta02.bin Then follow these instructions to flash it onto your freerunner: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_FreeRunner#Flashing_the_Kernel Once you've done all this, you'll have the latest root filesystem with the latest kernel. But don't do an opkg upgrade again until the kernel package problems are sorted out. I noticed that on this, the time is never right, could it be because of the images I got? Where can get the correct images if this is the case? http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Getting_Started_with_your_Neo_FreeRunner#Setting_date_and_time Also, where do people get their ipkg feeds? Like, what sources are listed in your /etc/ipkg.conf and /etc/ipkg/*.conf files? Just the default here, works fine. -Rob ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
