F200Support

-: Open2x currently does not support the F200 and any attempt to flash a DR version WILL most likely brick an F200 :-

F200 Status as of 6th April 2008
None of the main Open2x developers (Orkie, Lithosphere or myself) have an F200 so F200 support is not going to happen any time soon without hardware and/or outside help.

The recent patches I have been popping into SVN are a result of be getting a working F100 again and sync'ing up my local tree (that included a few small patches built up with a pre-release F200). Sorry to get hopes up, I am not even sure the final F200 used the WinTek LCD that was in the pre-release anyway.

I have a rough idea of how the F200 differs from the F100 and some code worked out for the touchscreen (TSLib and H/W driver) but I must confess I have no desire to really put much effort into blind supporting the F200 as I don't really want to be responsible for unnecessary bricking of F200's while we get support sorted.

There are also a few subtle differences with the NAND layout etc. on the F200 that will trip us up without hardware. Not to mention the fact that the Open2x bootloader (U-Boot) does not support the F200 (I can't fix that without hardware) and that bootloader makes booting test kernels from the SD card so much easier (and as such, development quicker etc. etc.).
