Hi there and sorry for the long response time. We have recently made
some nice progress
with the power management, appletized phone apps with ringing tone
support, etc. and are pretty ready for the next release that would
include those.
We have recently managed to get the power button working and now it is
possible to use that to suspend the device and
then to resume it back. The gpe-image containing that feature is however
not yet released because we have
one critical MMC/SD bug still pending:
- if we make suspend and resume, we fail somehow to close the MMC/SD
card session cleanly. Therefore we will
start to see Iput/Output IO errors which prevents any new apps to be
started. The only method to "fix" that is
to put the card again to card reader and run "fsck.ext2" for the ext2
partition of card.
Nowadays it is also possible to use GPRS (thanks for the cb22!), that
feature is also not fully integrated to the latest release image, so you
need to add certain scripts by hand. The documentation for that can be
found from the howto section of wiki in
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HpIpaqH6315
As we have still this mmc/sd card bug, we have not made the release. In
the mean time you can safely the latest released image without need to
flash anything as we are using MMC/SD cards for booting & running Linux.
Instructions how to do that can be found from
http://aragorn.kortex.jyu.fi:8080/h6300/H6300_Boot.html
(And for the ext2 part of boot you can btw also use the familiar 0.84
release from the familiar.handhelds.org)
