Running FC Selenite on FCDEV3B hardware
=======================================

You can build a flashable image and flash it with fc-loadtool, or you can build
a RAM-loadable image (make ram) and run it via fc-xram.

Running FC Selenite on Motorola C1xx hardware
=============================================

FC Selenite can only function as a voice pseudo-modem (VPM) on Mot C1xx
hardware - please read the Voice-pseudo-modem article in the fc-magnetite Hg
repository for the explanation.

If your C1xx phone is one of the lower subfamilies (C11x/12x or C139/140), then
flashing is the only way to run any FreeCalypso firmware on it - these phones
only have enough RAM to satisfy the firmware's data space requirements, but not
enough to run the firmware itself out of RAM.

If you are working with a C155/156 phone, the primary way to run FC Magnetite
or FC Selenite on it is to flash your fw image just like on the lower
subfamilies.  It is also possible to build the gcc version of Selenite (but not
the TMS470 version) as a RAM-loadable image (make ram) and run it via fc-xram,
but it will still require having a FreeCalypso FFS in the flash, which is not
compatible with Mot's original fw on this model - thus you still need to flash
some FC firmware version first (either Magnetite or Selenite), use it to
initialize the FFS for FreeCalypso, and then you can run Selenite-gcc via
fc-xram if desired.

The procedure for flashing an FC Selenite fw image into a Mot C1xx phone is the
same as for Magnetite - please read the C1xx-Howto article in the fc-magnetite
source repository.

Running FC Selenite on Pirelli DP-L10 hardware
==============================================

Both Magnetite and Selenite can only function as a voice pseudo-modem on the
Pirelli DP-L10 hw; it is highly unlikely that there will ever be a practically
usable FreeCalypso phone based on this hw platform.  Both TMS470 and gcc
versions of Selenite can be built as a RAM-loadable image for this target, and
are to be exercised in the same way as Magnetite, including the requirement of
FreeCalypso FFS initialization - please read the Pirelli-Howto article in the
fc-magnetite Hg repository.
