Running FreeCalypso Magnetite firmware on the Neo Freerunner ============================================================ As explained in the Modem-configs article, we currently have 3 different modem fw configurations which differ in the degree of deblobbing. The classic configuration is exactly the same as leo2moko from 2013; the l1reconst config rebuilds most of L1 from source, but our L1 reconstruction is so accurate that there will be no observable difference in behaviour. The hybrid configuration, however, is quite interesting in that it is a new major development, as major parts of the fw have been replaced with an entirely new version from another TI program. The deblobbed TCS2/TCS3 hybrid configuration is intended to be our direction going forward, but it will need extensive testing and debugging before it can replace the classic/l1reconst configs (or older mokoN/leo2moko firmwares) for production use. The principal developer's intent is to build our desired FCDEV3B hardware and do this testing and debugging on that board, but it can also be done on Openmoko devices. Given the current state of the remains of what once was the Openmoko community, I (Mychaela) do not feel like doing any significant work on this platform; instead I would rather build our own FCDEV3B and leave Openmoko behind. However, if anyone else feels otherwise and would like to play with our TCS2/TCS3 hybrid modem fw on Openmoko hardware, you can build it like this: ./configure.sh gtamodem hybrid cd build-gtamodem-hybrid; make Then after enduring the very slow build, you can flash it with fc-loadtool: loadtool> flash erase 0 0x250000 loadtool> flash program-bin 0 fwimage.bin If you are brave enough to do the above, please let us know how this new modem firmware fares when driven by QtMoko or SHR on the AP - it would definitely be an adventure!
