Known issues

  • This release does not come with Q5/Q7 firmware image. Only rootfs image (contains kernel that can be booted with zenvoid's qi bootloader) as we need people to test it. The reason for this is that if we write to internal SD card when power gets cut, internal SD dies. We are going to make a daemon for this in 0.17 to shut down gracefully.
  • This is a transitional release and many things are broken. We have part of Fremantle final stuff and most importantly, Application Manager is a bit broken.
  • [SmartQ5] Bluetooth does not work - hciconfig simply returns
  • [Nokia 770] Worked fine on first boot, after reboot/power cycle the device hangs with Mer desktop wallpaper and nothing else on screen (battery removal required). DCC: this happened to me on the third boot, fourth is OK, Maybe linked to booting with or without power cable (without works fine)
