* 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.
