This page lists various images you can try out on your Openmoko supported smartphone and some other downloads. Note however, that some of these are works in progress and may not have even released any files yet. Nothing is guaranteed to work. Proceed at your own risk.
Unofficial users repositories can be found here
See Distributions for description of the images downloadable here.
See Flashing the Neo FreeRunner for installation instructions. Neo 1973 users: Getting Started with your Neo1973.
In most cases you will download a Root FileSystem and a Kernel to flash into your phone. If you cannot find a kernel in the directory where you download the Root FS, please pick a kernel from an older directory. The third available file is the bootloader, probably don't want to install a new version of that unless there are bug fixes you really need.
If you want to install a system to a microSD card, see Booting from SD.
These images are based on the branch org.openmoko.asu.stable. They are the ASU distribution. Sorry, there are no build for the Neo 1973 yet, only the FreeRunner. While the branch name ends with .stable, repositories are updated daily. In an ideal world there would never be any regressions and the quality of builds would improve every day. We are not in an ideal world. The content of these images is presented at:
There are two sources, depending on whether you are an end user or a developer. In both cases, the files you want are of the form:
If you want to install stable software, and only get stable updates, the latest stable image (will overwrite all data on your phone) can be found at:
If you update packages in this image, they will come from the stable repository (updated daily from Holger's stable branch) at:
Holger (zecke) will continue to cherry-pick bug fixes with the right risk/reward ratio into his stable branch.
If you want bleeding edge, we have created an image that only contains Settings application and Installer, nothing else. We call it 'base image'. You can find this base image, updated daily, at:
By default, this image will fetch updates packages from our 'testing' repository:
If you want even more fun, change the package repository to 'unstable', which will then fetch updates from:
Once you have this base image, you can install the GTK+ telephony apps including gsmd, or Qtopia, or Mickey's framework.
The first Om 2008.8 release was made on 8/8/08 and is still available for historical purposes at:
The files you want are:
This image fetches updated packages from:
The org.openmoko.dev branch does not have any applications preinstalled other than settings and installer, and it is unstable for now.
Images for testing are at: http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/
To get packages from testing, use this /etc/opkg/testing.conf :
src/gz testing-all http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/all src/gz testing-arm http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/armv4t src/gz testing-i686 http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/i686 src/gz testing-neo http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/neo1973 src/gz testing-gta02 http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/testing/om-gta02
unstable comes from the same branch, compiled with the AUTOREV flag. There are no images, but packages are at http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/unstable/
Reference: See "Repository and Images" announcement for details on other "Base image", "testing" and "unstable".
Celtune offers different Images and a huge amount of packages (2007.2, pyneo, fso) for neo1973, freerunner and others. Celtune images can be found at http://rabenfrost.net/celtune/ .
Andy Powell maintains (or used to maintain ?) images based on the 2007.2 software stack for the gta01 and gta02. A. Powell's ScaredyCat images can be found at: http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/ .
Openmoko discontinued support for this release. The host that used to distribute it has been taken offline at the end of August 2008. The stable Om 2007.2 release for the Neo FreeRunner used to be at: http://buildhost.openmoko.org/releases/FreeRunner/

The file system will be in a jffs2 "summary" file. A file with the extension ".jffs2.summary" can be flashed to the FreeRunner just like an ordinary jffs2 file.
Images are available on the Qtopia.net images page, make sure your browser sends referer Header when downloading. (Note: direct linking to the files does not work.)
