Chapter 1 Free Your Neo1973
OpenMoko is an Open Source project to create the world's first free mobile
phone operating system. The OpenMoko project is a community that
anyone can join, and help to design their ideal phone. The Neo1973 from
FIC is the first of many phones that OpenMoko will run on.
The long term goal of OpenMoko is that phone software will no longer be
tied to one phone. You can buy any compatible phone, and install any
software over the whole range of phones. If you upgrade your phone, you
don't lose the software. Bugs fixed on one phone are fixed on all.
Please join us in collaborating on the OpenMoko project through any of the
project resources including the OpenMoko wiki. Please see the wiki editing
help page for information on making contributions to this wiki. A core team
of developers funded by FIC, Inc. leads the project.

After enter u-boot menu, you could use [Aux] key to select the item, and
[Power] key for confirm. There should be 5 items by default:
1. Boot: Direct boot
2. Set console to USB: Could use Linux terminal software (like minicom
to connect Neo1973)
3. Set console to Serial: Re-Direct terminal output to Neo1973 debug
port serial interface.
4. Power off: Power of Neo1973
5. Factory reset: Reset parameter into factory default value.
If your Neo1973 already had kernel image or rootfs installed, once you
select the boot, system will boot. If your Neo1973 doesn’t contain any
kernel image, you will need to use devirginator or DFU-Util to install
system and root file system.
If you using the minicon or other terminal software like hyperterminal,
please using following settings to connect terminal:
Speed: 115200, N ,8, 1
Hardware flow control: Off
1-4 Install OpenMoko Kernel image by using DFU
1-4-1 Purpose
dfu-util is a program that implements the Host (PC) side of the USB DFU
(Universal Serial Bus Device Firmware Upgrade) protocol.
www.openmoko.com
7
In the OpenMoko project, we use this program to communicate with our
specially enhanced u-boot boot loader, which implements the DFU device
side.
Using dfu-util and your Neo1973, you can Link* transfer and flash
partitions to NAND Flash, such as
The Linux kernel
The root file system partition
The splash screen partition
The u-boot environment
Last, but not least: The u-boot bootloader itself.
transfer anything into Neo1973 RAM
this can be used for fast development cycles of low-level code such as
kernels without flashing them
read out the current NAND partitions
this is an easy and efficient way of doing full backups of your phone
1-4-2 Source Code
dfu-util can be found at http://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/host/dfu-util/
Binary packages will be made available as part of the regular OpenMoko
builds

1-4-5 device function
You can specify the USB Vendor and Product ID of the device you want to
program:
dfu-util --device 0x1457:0x5119
If you only have one standards-compliant DFU device attached to your PC,
this is optional. However, as soon as you have multiple DFU devices,
dfu-util will detect this and abort, asking you to specify which device it
shall use.
1-4-6 transfer-size
Specifies the size of each individual USB transfer. If you don't use it, the
maximum possible size for your combination of host operating system and
USB device is chosen (for optimal performance).

Chapter 2 Applications
2-1 Overview
This page describes the set of applications being developed by the core set
of OpenMoko developers. This is what is intended to be eventually released
on the stock firmware of OpenMoko phones (Neo1973 and successors). If
the community develops an application of suitable usefulness and quality,
it may also be included on stock firmware. Community applications may be
found on the Wish List and on projects.openmoko.org
www.openmoko.com
12
Although OpenMoko is designed for smartphones that use a stylus, it
would be foolish to expect people to only operate their handsets with
stylus. For this reason, some core phone-related applications will be
developed with finger (as opposed to stylus navigation) in mind.
NOTE: Applications listed on this page are listing in order of priority and
by phase. 0th phase is for the developers preview release in March, 1st
phase is for late March. 2nd phase is September... when we are ready for
mass market appeal.
2-1-1 General Principles
All modifications are saved instantenously, there should never be a save
command.
Make sure users can't make interface operation errors, or that the effects
are easily reversible, instead of just notifying them of the potential
consequences of their actions.
When you open a document you should be returned to the place where you
were working when you last closed or save it (this is our concept of
sessions).
Label buttons with adjectives, which describe the state of the object
affected
Designers should seek an efficient monotonous solution to gain benefits,
including ease of learning, simplicity of implementation, minimization of
documentation, and lowered maintenance costs.
Whenever you find yourself specifying an error message, please stop; then
redesign the interface so that the condition that generated the error
message doesn't arise.
If the user gets no utility from a process, there is no reason to tell them
www.openmoko.com
13
that it is happening.
Provide unlimited levels of Undo and Redo whenever possible.
Consider adding a Trash or Deleted Items area that has everything the
user has deleted. The user’s data is the most important priority. Let’s
make it hard for them to lose anything and easy to recover it.
NOTE: Innovation usually happens at the bottom. What we need to do is
provide consistent ways to develop and deploy appliations.
