There is collection of FreeRunner hardware issue wiki page Freerunner_Hardware_Issues , could help you quickly know if you bump into same problem and the possible way to solve some of issues.
Q: I can't boot Neo with charger?
A: 1. You can't boot GTA02 without a spare battery. You should boot Neo with spare battery and attach your charger, then you can boot into neo.
2. Once your phone is booted, remove the spare battery. Freerunner will remain running,
3. Insert dead battery and let it charge.
Q: Unable to flash FreeRunner after booting either into NAND or NOR. A:
NOTE: Please check Getting_Started_with_your_Neo_FreeRunner for more information about the flashing image. |
Q: I can ssh into the phone via USB per the wiki instructions, but dfu-util does not find the phone.
A: This is what I need to run as root and the everything works fine:
root(eno,freerunner)# cat upom #!/bin/sh /sbin/ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 /sbin/route add -host 192.168.0.202/32 dev usb0

Q: How do I connect an USB memory-stick etc?
A: This requires an adapter Mini-B 5-pole => Type A jack or an adapter jack => jack. see here
Q: Once I have such an adapter, can I use it to connect 2 Neo to each other?
A: This question is equivalent to How to connect two [Unix/Linux] computers via USB cable and what sort of special cable is needed? -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/connecting-two-computers-with-a-usb-cable-data-cable-411073
It should work if one Neo is set to Host mode and the other one set to Device mode. One Neo could give power to the USB-port it the other Neo's battery is low. (I have to verify this)
Q:Sim card is not working, how do I run diagnostics?
A: Here is the "how to" check.
Follow Manually_using_GSM until you get an OK prompt. More detalied documenation please refer FreeRunner_unable_to_work_with_3G_SIM_cards and Carriers.
Following page contain very useful information:
Q: How do I get the GPS working?
A: See GTA02 GPS
Q: it takes a long time (10min+) before the Freerunner gets first GPS data
A: See GPS Problems.
Q: How do I get the wlan working?
A: See GTA02 WLAN
Q: How do I get the Bluetooth working?
A: See Manually_using_Bluetooth
Q: How do I get low level hardware related function, like power up device, dump register?
A: See GTA02_sysfs
No, it can do about 20 fps QVGA with software, and something beetween QVGA and VGA playing MPEG-4 using hardware (at resonable fps). Scaling is also done with GPU hardware.
Look here.
There is a port of Jalimo for Openmoko.

just run:
echo "host" > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode echo "1" > /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode
This'll put the Freerunner in to powered USB host mode, then just plug in the keyboard and it'll work. Personally I've made a .desktop file to switch into and out of host mode. To switch back to unpowered device mode just run:
echo "device" > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode echo "0" > /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode
