These limits are designed to providereasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Thisequipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

www.openmoko.com 3 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. 1-1 Neo1973 package list All the following information could be found at www.openmoko.org Please go to the web site for most updated information.

Then you could enter following u-boot menu.
www.openmoko.com 6 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 1-4-3 help manu dfu-util - (C) 2007 by OpenMoko Inc.

www.openmoko.com 11 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. 2-2 OpenMoko Dialer 2-2-1 Overview This article defines the Dialer Application, an application designed for the OpenMoko platform. The Dialer Application handles all call and SMS related interactions. This is a Native Finger-Based application. 2-2-2 Use Cases Here are some possible use cases: I want to be able to dial a number I want to be able to quickly redial a number I want to be able to adjust the volume of both the speaker and microphone while in call
