Anyone knows how this will work with the Neo 1973 (GTA01)?
I would like to just go ahead and see how it works, but as the release
notes have this warning:
*WARNING:* It is recommended that you back up your Neo prior to
installing any updates.
Do not attempt to install 2008.12 to the Neo 1973 (GTA01). It is not
compatible with this earlier model.
So it seems that it may not be such a good idea.
However, I do believe I have seen posts about GTA01, GTA02 and an
upcoming GTA03 being similar from what they expect from the HW that I
actually don't understand this warning?!
Will an attempt to install it brick my GTA01?
Thanks for any clarification,
Peter

Dear Community,
The latest testing image for Om 2008 has been uploaded to our stable
branch. This is the fastest image to date. Om 2008.12 is recommended
for current users of Om 2008.9 and/or prior images. It includes general
operating system improvements that enhance the speed and stability of
your Neo.
To install the 2008.12 update on the Neo FreeRunner, download the Root
Filesystem and the Kernel image files from:
Root Filesystem
http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.12/Om2008.12-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2
Kernel
http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.12/Om2008.12-om-gta02.uImage.bin
**Note that flashing the Neo FreeRunner will overwrite all your existing
data, so remember to do a backup. There's also an upgrade path, but
only the clean upgrade from Om2008.9 has been tested. Please check:

A full test report from our QA team can be found here:

Release notes along with known issues are here:

Many of you know that most of who's left here are focused on the next
major release, Om 2009. Although a date has not been set for this
release, we're working around the globe, day and night, to get the right
pieces to fit.
For starters, here are some updates on our current work plans:
* merging om.dev back to OE upstream
* updating to andy tracking following this release
* paroli: http://code.google.com/p/paroli
Thanks everybody for you patience (and endurance).
May the best days be ahead of us.
Openmoko Team
