I've added support for the Calypso "non-secure" romloader in my branch steve-m/osmocon.

good news! I'll review the branch asap.

This means we now can execute our code on devices like the Motorola W220, the BenQ A38 (which I've used for development), and the OpenMoko devices (can anyone try to cross-compile osmocon and see if it works?).

You actually don't have to try to cross-compile as the IRDA UART of the Calypso in the Openmoko is attached to the earphone jack, just like in the non-smartphone calypso designs.

But sure, it would be great to test it on both the MODEM UART (from the s3c24xx side) and from the IRDA UART / earphone jack.

For more information see in the wiki: http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/CalypsoRomloader

thanks a lot, I've started to read through it.

I also added a new model switch for the C140 (-m c140), which automatically adds the "1003" string in the uploaded binary.

... assuming that nothing important is at the respective address in the image, I suppose? Do we have a way (by linker script tricks?) to ensure that there is some bogus data at that location? Last time I checked, I could not figure out a way to tell the linker "start filling .text from address A to B, then exclude B to C and continue filling from C upwards".
