I bought the Neo1973 Phase 1 with the purpose of learning and adventure. My immediate plans are to understand how to access all existing devices and how to use the toolchain to port some pretty Free software program (I picked Mathomatic for beginning). I have the debug board as well and if somebody nearby (Zurich, Switzerland) needs it I can help to unbrick the device.

My current progress is the following:

  • The device is flashed and boots.
  • The USB network connection (ssh and scp) works: Neo talks with my Debian Linux desktop.
  • The toolchain has compiled the Mathomatic into the executable for Neo processor and it works fine (Mathomatic is a command line application, must be started from the Neo terminal).
  • I got some nightmare - like output from the GSM device which I have hope to understand later.
  • I discovered that readline and ncurses are not between the default OpenMoko libraries. They are, however, rather easy to compile with the provided toolchain. Mathomatic is far more convenient with readline (command history and improved navigation).

I am long term GNU developer and wrote a lot of code for GNU Classpath in the past.
