Re: Are this list and project dead?

Hi Harald,

I started this thread a couple off month ago with some
other guys, but unfortunately we all lost our focus on
this project. I did a lot of hardware debugging and
made several schematics of the LOOX hardware (I bought
a broken device and removed the components from the
PCB to be able to reverse engineer the schematic). I
have also build a JTAG interface into my second LOOX
so I am able to do single step debugging. Finally I
started debugging of the Xlinix Coolrunner chips.
Since we do not get any support from Siemens/Fujitsu
(OEM product by HTC) it is very difficult and time
consuming debug the hole device from scratch. We need
more information about the hardware/interfaces and
GPIOs of the device otherwise we will never be
successful. Also I think a bigger core-team with very
skilled Linux-freaks and ARM-experts (who are able to
debug some of the windows DLLs) is necessary.
Unfortunately I can do only the hardware debugging
because my Linux programming skills are very limited.
A disadvantage is also that the LOOX720 is very small
compared to the IPAQ/HP community.
BTW I also bought a Nokia 770, it is a very nice
device but I think the Maemo/Hildon/Linux-operating
system is kind of bottleneck, even with the first not
stable running Linux-versions on the LOOX720 I had a
much better "touch and feel".
