-The currently supported target devices are (in the order of decreasing

+The currently supported target devices are:

+1) All Calypso devices (preferably with Iota ABB so we can cleanly power off
+   after we are done) that have Calypso boot ROM (version 0200 or 0300) enabled
+   by nIBOOT strapping on the board.  This category includes TI and FreeCalypso
+   development boards, several modems (Openmoko GTA01/02, Huawei GTM900, Tango)
+   and other devices.
+
+2) Motorola C1xx and Sony Ericsson J100 phones made by Compal: these phones do
+   NOT have Calypso boot ROM enabled, but they provide a different way of
+   gaining serial code download access which is supported by our tools.
 
 All tools in the FreeCalypso loadtools suite work by feeding pieces of code to
 the target device as it boots, preventing the booting of its regular firmware
