News: We have been choosen by the PandaBoard Early Adopter Program and will receive a PandaBoard (OMAP4 / ARM Cortex A9) board soon.
This project provides a PCB extension board and software to combine a Beagle Board with a Freerunner compatible display and case.
The goal is to provide a demonstrator and experimentation platform how a future modern state-of the art Openmoko device with ARM-Cortex A8 and UMTS could be (neglecting miniaturization). This allows to develop software and new user interfaces. When packing the board into a Freerunner case, one can provide sound (microphone, earset, speaker) and vibracall.
Here some pictures of our prototypes (the final PCB will be rotated by 180 degrees to allow to access the SD slot).
Initial tests have shown that it is quite easy to port/configure Freerunner GUI distributions to run on this hardware/kernel. Therefore we encourage to port
locate binaries for MLO (first phase boot loader), U-Boot, boot scripts and splash screens, Kernel, Angstrom or Lenny Demo Image, patches (config.tgz) and modules (modules.tgz) from http://download.goldelico.com/ombeagle/trunk
Please note that you have to copy them in a specially formatted SD card. Look into the makesd script for an example (WARNING: adapt to your system or you may destroy your hard disk).
