Android 2.2  – Froyo for Openmoko Neo Freerunner – download

Unpack the files on to a FAT formatted SD card.

Recommendation: uImage.bin and uImage  copy in / boot

Insert card into the Freerunner, and boot from (NOR) menu (hold AUX key, then power)

Choose Boot from SD Card (FAT and ext2)

The automated install process should begin. It installs the Qi bootloader, reboots, the kernel, reboots and then installs the system image.

Download dfu-util and copy to /usr/bin (if you are windows user then you need to download dfu-util.exe and copy to x:/windows),  kernel and rootFS. Plug your FreeRunner into a USB port and boot it into the nand boot loader, hold down the aux button and then the power button until nor appears. The FreeRunner will only stay in in the nand boot loader state installer for about 30 seconds with no activity. You have 30 sec to start flashing kernel or rootFS .

flash kernel

./dfu-util -a kernel -R -D uImage-v24.bin

and then rootFS

./dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D qtmoko-debian-v24.jffs2

After finishing the installation  you have to start the freerunner and calibrate the touch screen.

Installing GameRunner on your MicroSD Card:

At least, a 512MB MicroSD is required.

If you use uBoot, you need to create two partitions. First partition, not so big, in FAT16 or ext2 where you have to place the kernel file (uImage.bin) and second partition in ext2 where you have to uncompress the filesystem file (gamerunner-rootfs-0.1.tar.gz). Some uBoot version reads the “uimage” kernel image file (yes, without .bin and “i” )

If you use Qi, you only need an ext2 partition into your µSD Card where you uncompress the filesystem image file (gamerunner-rootfs-0.1.tar.gz). In this case Qi Bootloader is going to look for the kernel image into the /boot directory for file named uImage-GTA02.bin, so copy the kernel file (uImage.bin) with that name under /boot.

GameRunner Current Games:  Quake 1, Teend Ball Z (Tecnoballz), Powermanga, POWDER, OpenTyrian, MokoMaze, Duke Nukem 3D, Doom, OpenTTD, Numptyphysics, Pingus, Linball, Acceleroids, Xmahjongg, Xboard+GNUChess and ScummVM

You need to download  dfu-util, kernel and root filesystem. (for windows users: download dfu-util.exe and copy to x:/windows). Plug your FreeRunner into a USB port and boot it into the nand boot loader, hold down the aux button and then the power button until NOR appears.

flash in shell :

dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D nde-om-gta02.jffs2
and then

dfu-util -a kernel -R -D uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin
reboot Openmoko Neo Freerunner .

flash kernel

dfu-util -a kernel -R -D uImage-v19.bin

and then rootFS

dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D qtmoko-debian-v19.jffs2

After finishing the installation  you have to start the freerunner and calibrate the touch screen.

You should have FAT as first partition and swap on /dev/mmcblk0p4.

QtMoko is a Debian-based distribution for the Openmoko Freerunner phone. Phone and user interface are based on QT Extended, formerly known as Qtopia. Currently QtMoko is provided with two kernels – one vanilla andy-tracking with debugging stuff and one with stripped config. The first one is slow but stable. The second one is fast, but it can have problems with switching to QVGA (WSOD) and sometimes wifi does not work (Suspend/resume can fix it). You can decide which one you want to use. Just flash your favorite kernel (for jffs image) or change the symlink in /boot (for SD card image). There is a dirty hack for displaying undelivered SMS – you have to restart Qtopia. As for the changes – credits go to Jeroen for fixing bugs and Esteban for translations, thanks a lot! Changes from previous version:

• Spanish translation (Esteban Monge)
• Fixed compiling on systems with QT 4.6
• Fixed freeze while removing wifi-settings (Jeroen Nijhof)
• Fixed bing fonts in SMS email and others (Jeroen Nijhof)
• Fixed saving suspend interval in power management (Jeroen Nijhof)
• NeronGPS and Arora in default installation
• Removed some demos and not working apps
• QX now suspends on call or when SMS arrives
• Workaround for incoming SMS bug
• Two kernels. Slow with debug, fast with nodebug
• Fixed web browser crashes
• Downgrade to QT 4.5.3
