However, I (Mother Mychaela) am not -currently allocating my time toward that work because I see other directions -within the greater FreeCalypso family of projects as being more important. -Specifically, I see the following as much higher priorities compared to -gcc-built firmware: - -* Getting our FCDEV3B V2 boards made to prove my proposed fix for the sleep - mode bug, and if they work as expected, we'll need to make more FreeCalypso - modem hw in various form factors and put that hw into the hands of end users. - Software or firmware without hardware to run it on is useless no matter how - good or how free/libre it is, hence it makes no sense to me to worry whether - our fw is built with gcc or with TI's TMS470 compiler until the hardware - that's needed to run it is made in greater volume and placed into the hands - of people who would appreciate it. - -* Getting the digital voice channel over MCSI working, which is a prerequisite - before we can repackage our FreeCalypso modem into a module form factor which - could then be marketed to communities like Neo900 and Librem 5 as a drop-in - replacement for the 100% closed and proprietary modem modules they use - currently. - -* Building our long-planned FreeCalypso Libre Dumbphone hardware, so we can - have a complete phone without needing someone else like Neo900 or Librem 5 or - ZeroPhone to provide an application processor front-end to our modem. - -Anyone else who feels that whipping the gcc-built fw version into shape should -be a higher priority has two options: either do the work themselves (the code -is free for everyone), or pay Falconia Partners LLC to elevate the priority of -this gcc-built fw work. +currently willing to work in that direction until and unless we recover some +original authentic versions of os_???.c and osx.c modules - the reconstructions +from 2014 which are used in the present FC Selenite experimental source tree +(same as Citrine) aren't good enough.
