142 issue of needing large flash and XRAM, but also we have the LCD 140 new TCS3 source, not the old version of unknown origin. They are "voice only"
143 driver implemented only for the SPI/MicroWire LCD on the C139, 141 configs in that CSD, fax and GPRS functions are disabled - these functions
144 not for the I2C one on C11x. 142 cannot be made use of on Mot C1xx phones, and disabling them significantly
145 143 reduces the weight of the firmware.
146 Thus we have a total of 4 possible build configurations, one for the C11x 144
147 target and 3 for the C139: 145 For the C139/140 target (but not for C11x/12x), it is also possible to build
146 some of the older configs that use the old binary blob version of the G23M PS
147 component and the corresponding old versions of ACI, MFW and BMI on top of it -
148 however, those configuration are now officially deprecated except for only two
149 remaining use cases which do not apply to Mot C1xx targets, hence they are no
150 longer supported officially.

152 Thus we have a total of 3 possible build configurations, one for the C11x
