OpenMoko to publish Neo FreeRunner schematics

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

OpenMoko have promised to publish schematics for their latest phone, the Neo FreeRunner. The free availability of the schematics should ease the development of alternative firmware for the phone.

Schematic diagrams are representations of electrical circuits. Publishing them does not allow others to duplicate a circuit board design — Gerber files would be needed for that — at least not without considerable time and effort. Instead, having access to schematics will enable firmware developers to adapt other bootloaders to the platform.

Earlier OpenMoko published CAD files of the Neo FreeRunner.
