QT Moko

QT moko is debian distribution for Openmoko Freerunner phone. Phone and user interface is based on QT Extended formerly known as Qtopia.

QT Moko. Special feature are:

  • QT Moko has better X support, which is much faster then X4,
  • in QT Moko the AUX can bring menu for X application,
  • QT Moko includes an X terminal with virtual keyboard and matchbox window manager
  • in QT Moko with the X-Server support you can use X application like TangoGPS as GPS application.

Download

Download the following files from [1] to you desktop computer:

Installation

If you flash the freerunner with a kernel image from QT Moko, then you must install the kernel and the root file system. If you have Qi installed then you can install the QT Moko on the SD card. This seems to be useful if you want to work with different distribution and you can change the distribution just by changing the Mirco Sd card in your freerunner.

If you want to flash the kernel image (you will need to be root) with this following command:

   # dfu-util -a kernel -R -D uImage-v5.bin

and finally the root fs with this one:

   # dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D qtmoko-debian-v5.jffs2
