+Magnetite-specific notes
+========================
+
+Just like FC Citrine, FC Magnetite currently supports only AT command operation
+via fc-shell; the C-Sample UI hack we have built earlier in tcs211-c139 has NOT
+been incorporated into Magnetite - at least not yet.
+
+When compiling our Magnetite firmware for the C139 target, you will need to
+select the l1reconst configuration - it is the only currently available
+configuration that works on this target.  Therefore, you configure.sh command
+should be:
+
+./configure.sh c139 l1reconst
+
+See the Compiling write-up for more details.
+
+Because we have not deblobbed the G23M firmware component yet (the l1reconst
+configuration uses G23M binary blobs from TCS211/Sotovik), your Magnetite fw
+build will include FAX_AND_DATA and GPRS functionality.  In the FreeCalypso
+environment where we are not doing WAP or MMS this functionality can only be
+exercised on targets that bring out a classic modem UART with the classic AT
+command interface to the external host, but Mot C139 is not one of those
+targets - hence on the C139 all FAX_AND_DATA and GPRS code is nothing but dead
+weight.  We will only be able to remove this dead weight when and if we fully
+deblob all of L1 and G23M, so it will be a while before we get there, and we'll
+have to carry the dead weight until then.
