Rockbox and OpenMoko and the Neo1973

<< < (2/3) > >>

rasher:
It would make a lot more sense in my eyes to create a version of the simulator that could run on the phone, inside the real firmware, assuming SDL is available. This goes for many other devices as well (gp2x, PSP, smartphones etc.).

Llorean:
As I said, someone just needs to adapt it to being an application better. Start with the "Simulator" code, and give it perhaps the option to interact with a mouse. :-P

markun:
OpenMoko runs on the Samsung S3C2410 of the Neo1973, which is very similar to the S3C2440 used in the Gigabeat F/X. I believe that all the components were chosen to have public documentation. There is a separate phone module which does the actual calling and is controlled through some serial connection.

All in all I don't think a Rockbox port is so far fetched.

saratoga:
Might be possible to have the cell phone hardware issue an interrupt that unloads rockbox when theres a phone call.  Still, starting with the simulator is probably a better solution.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was done using good old AT-commands... :) If so, adding (basic) support for phone calls shouldn't be all that difficult, as all the GSM stuff would be handled by the phone module.

Still, making Rockbox a good phone firmware would be a big task.
