* Title:
Towards the first 100% free software GSM phone
* Subtitle:
Reverse Engineering the Motorola EZX (A768,A780,E680) series of Linux-based GSM phones
* Abstract:
This presentation describes the progress of hacking and extending the
Motorola series of Linux based Smartphones, with the ultimate goal to
replace all proprietary applications with 100% free software.
* Description:
A longer and detailed description of the event's content (250 to 500 words)
It's been two years since Motorola has released the first Linux
Smartphone (A768). More recently, two new models were introduced, the
A780 and the E680, the former even officially distributed in Germany
and all over the EU.
What's so special about a Linux based smartphone? It's special because
the Linux kernel acts as an enabler for 3rd party hacks and 3rd party
software, like it can be observed with the OpenWRT, OpenTom,
NSLU2-Linux, OpenEmbedded, OpenZaurus and other similar projects.
The author of this presentation has sucessfully obtained "telnet"
access to an A780 cellphone, built a matching cross-compilation
toolchain and installed various applications for debugging, such as
busybox, iptables, nmap, lsof, strace, etc.
While re-engineering efforts are still in a early stage, work is
proceeding extremely fast, and important pieces such as the protocol
between the PXA270 frontend processor and the ARM7TDMI GSM processor
have already been partially re-engineered. The project is expected to
progress significantly until 22C3.
