This is a step-by-step description of how the firmware is upgraded on a Neo with FLUID running on the device. Note that this process tolerates almost no variations. Stray from the instructions at your own peril. Instructions based on a posting by Werner (http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-devel/2008-April/002605.html), thanks.
Please note: Update to MOKO9-beta firmware isn't recommended by OM, and probably won't fix any recent issues like #1024 at all. Use the latest firmware version instead.
Please see http://people.openmoko.org/joerg/calypso_moko_FW for more recent FW-images.
Please see http://people.openmoko.org/joerg/calypso_moko_FW/all_version__CHANGELOG.txt for changelog.
For now there is some moko11, which should fix #666 (compatibility with some 3G sim cards), and also has a new command AT+CSIM. It also includes fixes related to hardware flow control and wakeup interrupt.
This version is not supposed to fix #1024 (constant re-registrations leading to lost calls and messages). For a workaround use a distro where deep sleep mode can be deactivated.
We are planning to include this version in the factory image of the A7 run.
We recommend you don't update by following this procedure, unless you feel very comfortable with commandline. Don't miss-spell any FLUID command!
There is an SD-image, that greatly simplifies the whole GSM-update process - we suggest everybody who's not feeling completely comfortable with the procedure described herein use the image instead (not applicable to gta01 owners).
Warning: there are chances to _irrecoverably_ damage your GSM modem calibration data, thus rendering it useless on messing around with FLUID! Use only the commands from this wiki page!
The GSM-firmware didn't differ from GTA01 to GTA02, as the GSM-hardware didn't either. This means you can flash MOKO11 (or any other recent GSM-FW) to GTA01 as well. According to mwester, this worked for him to update from MOKO1 on a GTA01Bv4 to MOKO10b2, by following the steps described herein (if the main firmware can't be started, see troubleshooting section for additional instructions).
Any reports on successful update, as well as problems encountered, or SIMs seen to work after update, all highly appreciated. Please add to the "discussion" tab of this wikipage. Thanks!

It should say something like this (takes a few seconds to load the file):
FLUID Revision 2.27, ... Bootloader: (reset target)
(this fluid command works even if the previous flashing was aborted and you have a broken and non-functional gsm-firmware due to this, as it uses the calypso ROM bootloader instead of the firmware bootloader. But in the case of non-functional gsm-firmware there's no way to power off the modem with AT@POFF command, therefore GTA02 users need to follow "modern kernel" (they might work even with older kernels) instructions and GTA01 users the troubleshooting section. Changing the -b to some lower baudrate might improve stability of flashing-process - the bootloader does autobaud, so you're free to use any rate)
root@om-gta02:~# s3c24xx-gpio b7=1
FLUID should now say something like this (it will take a couple of minutes to finish):
(fluid, version 3) ok Checksumming (269 * 8kB = 2152kB): ok Flash Detect: (0xEC, 0x22A0) Samsung K5A3240CT ok Program: (34 sectors, 267*8k=2136k) (*******************) ok
Note: If you get this instead: MESSAGE: File cmd.m0 not found, then you didn't do the cd /usr/sbin. Please pay attention ;-)
If FLUID does nothing, curse your bad luck and repeat the reset sequence, this is the whole 'echo 0/1, b7=0/1 stuff'.
root@om-gta02:~# stty crtscts -F /dev/ttySAC0 root@om-gta02:~# cat /dev/ttySAC0 & root@om-gta02:~# echo -en 'AT\r' >/dev/ttySAC0; sleep 1; echo -en 'AT+CGMR\r' >/dev/ttySAC0 +CGMR: "GSM: gsm_ac_gp_fd_pu_em_cph_ds_vc_cal35_ri_36_amd8_ts0-Moko11" root@om-gta02:~# kill %1
In some case you may receive this:
(fluid, version 3) ok Checksumming (269 * 8kB = 2152kB): ok Flash Detect: (0xEC, 0x22A0) Samsung K5A3240CT ok Program: (0 sectors, 0*8k=0k) () ok
It means the checksums of all sectors in calypso's FW and the new file to flash are identical. Probably you're trying to flash same version of FW that's already installed.
Never downgrade to a version earlier than Moko6, or you will render the GSM unusable (certain internal data structures changed between Moko5 and Moko6).
With modern kernels on GTA02 you can use this single command to "Power off the modem":
echo 0 >/sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on
Now you can start fluid as described above.
To "start the modem" you need to issue:
echo 1 >/sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on
Some users weren't able to complete the upgrade since they got an error while the firmware was uploading in the GSM chip (like Flash operation timeout).
However a solution has been found and it allows to use again the GSM modem. (please note this topic resides on devel-ML. Don't spread over multiple lists please, as it won't help in getting a response to your request just in time, and most people following the main thread likely will miss your postings anyway)
Use the following fluid command:
FLUID_PORT=/dev/ttySAC0 fluid.exe -oo -od13,13 -b 115200 -f $HOME/calypso-moko11.m0
(Without FLOWCONTROL and with -oo to choose the ROM bootloader)
Then on a second ssh session please use this instead of the gpio command:
echo 0 > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on echo 1 > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on
The firmware download should start now.
For GTA01 the process of flashing when the main firmware is absent is more complicated as we have no easy way to power-cycle the modem.
I recently had to do a special process to recover my GTA01bv4 after breaking the gsm modem with a failed flash. The process is actually fairly simple.
stty 0:4:18b2:8a00:0:0:7f:15:4:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:12:f:17:16:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 -F /dev/ttySAC0
FLUID_PORT=/dev/ttySAC0 fluid.exe -oo -od13,13 -b115200 -f $HOME/filename.m0
echo 1 > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/power_on
After this, the flashing proceeded as expected. You don't need to do any special checks to ensure you have successfully flashed; if fluid reports everything is ok, it is actually ok.
There's a beta version for flashing MOKO11 to GTA02 Freerunner only.
NOTE: If you don't have a uSD reader on your PC, you can `dd` from neo: install task-base-smbfs, u(n)mount /media/card, mount the directory in which you have the "flash-moko11-2.image" file and do the dd stuff. This will take about 12 minutes.
