Motorola C140¶

The internal name of the hardware is E86

The shielding covers of this model are soldered, not snap-on :(

Specification¶

• GSM 900 / GSM 1800 dual-band
• 101 x 47,8 x 21,9 mm, 80 grams
• 920mAh Li-Ion battery
• TI Calypso/Iota/Rita chipset

Schematics¶

The schematics can be found e.g. at http://files.shrak-mobile.com/schem/motorola/C139_schem.rar. They apply to C139 as well as C140, as they are very similar.

Miscellaneous¶

Bootloader¶

The loader is pretty much identical to the loader in the C123. However, it has one additional nastiness:

• After the download has completed, it expects the magic string "1003" (0x31 0x30 0x30 0x33) at the RAM address 0x803ce0
• To bypass this limitation, use the Calypso romloader to chainload the application. Here's an example for loading layer1bin:

$ ./osmocon -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -m c140 -c ../../target/firmware/board/compal_e86/layer1.highram.bin
