| 1 FreeCalypso Luna phone handset UI development platform consists of these 3 | |
| 2 components: | |
| 3 | |
| 4 * A Caramel-type Calypso motherboard, either iWOW DSK or FC Caramel2 | |
| 5 * An LCD carrier board, currently using HaoRan HT020K1QC36S LCD module | |
| 6 * A 5x5 keyswitch matrix board for the keypad function | |
| 7 | |
| 8 This Luna is our primary official platform for FreeCalypso phone handset UI | |
| 9 development. The UI code we got from TI comes in two interesting versions: | |
| 10 | |
| 11 * Big color version: 176x220 pixels, 16-bit color | |
| 12 * Small B&W version: originally 84x48 pixels, we are extending it to 96x64 pix | |
| 13 | |
| 14 (Originally there was also a third version, large 176x220 pix B&W, but we find | |
| 15 it uninteresting and we've removed it from our supported set. It was really | |
| 16 nothing more than a hack to display a minimal-effort derivative of the original | |
| 17 small B&W UI on the large D-Sample LCD, so we are not removing anything of any | |
| 18 real substance here.) | |
| 19 | |
| 20 FC Luna hardware is required for anyone who wishes to work on the phone handset | |
| 21 UI project in FC Tourmaline: it is the only target platform that can display | |
| 22 both versions of our work-in-progress UI firmware. Mot C1xx and other similar | |
| 23 phones have small LCDs that can only display the small B&W version of our | |
| 24 TI-based UI, and in the Mother's opinion working solely on the smallbw version | |
| 25 to the exclusion of the bigcolor version is not acceptable. |
