>Congrats! What are your plans to integrate this and to provide more drivers?
Christos and all,
obvious a certain person needs cvs commit ;) to integrate
plans..what i'd like to see is:
-debug usb_add and my usb_add setup..
i crash after some minutes (but that's just the emulator side)
-debug the boot on real hardware
i don't have any but, 1 person does testboots and has different results.
so far he's done them w/o console, but he's getting closer to his debug
board,
there maybe having console.
we're now at the point all tooling is there.
-hope to get an X desktop this weekend or at the least know how much
wscons wsdisplay there is using lcd0.
-usb keyboard for wscons wskbd should be there(?)
but usb keyboard on a neo-on-the-go looks a bit odd..so i'll try touch
screen first
-NAND file system has been mentioned a few times in
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-embed/
and recently in
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/
so i stay off that
whilst .. http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/lxr/source/drivers/mtd/nand/
is a good starting point ;) and would be doable if i succeed the
touchscreen(?).
but/and mind.. already multiple people have stated they have
private implementations willing to share .. so we could have nand soon

-http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973_Power_Button
-(SDHC) sd card
-agps, audio, gsm/gprs
-vibrator, backlight, accelerometer, etcetera
-pkgsrc additions
-pkgsrc/meta-pkgs/openmoko
-pkgsrc/wm/matchbox-moko
-pkgsrc/*/etcetera-moko
think it's an interesting target (personal) machine w/ much modern appliance
so others should join-in. (could be a hackaton subject,
and good pr ..NetBSD endorses OpenMoko and Neo1973 in a week)
