<p>Over the next month the Maemo community will be participating in several referendums/elections that will impact the future of our community. Please check the links below to see the list of current

You are encouraged to <a href="http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=89560">read more</a> about this and why council hopes you will have no objections to vote "yes."</p>

<p>Shortly after this, there will be additional elections, including the election of the next Maemo Community Council. Due to special circumstances things around election details might change on short notice, so please check back on those wikipages for possible last-minute changes. We need to 
accomplish some difficult tasks around Hildon Foundation during this election, that's why elections have to serve for more than the usual purposes this time.</p>

Installation packages for Linuxes, Mac OS X and Windows are now available from Maemo Development Environment Downloads page. Maemo Flasher-3.5 tool supports flashing of N8x0 devices with Diablo images and N900 device with Fremantle images.</div>
<h3>Maemo Flasher-3.5 Tool <br /></h3>
<p>- Version: 2.5.2.2<br /> - Date: October 27, 2009<br /> - Hardware  supported: Nokia N800, N810 and N810 WiMAX with Diablo 4.1.x and N900 with Fremantle 5.x.</p>
<h3>Supported operating systems</h3>
<p>- Linuxes (Debian installation package available for Debian based Linuxes and tar ball for others)<br /> - Windows 7, XP with SP3 and Vista with SP2<br /> - Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard</p>
<p>Notice that Linux and Windows versions of Flasher-3.5 Tool support x86/32-bit host PC architectures. Mac OS X versions support both x86/32-bit and PPC/32-bit architectures.</p>
<h3>Downloads and documentation</h3>
<p>- Flasher-3.5 downloads: <a href="http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php">Maemo Development Environment Downloads</a> page <a href="http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php"></a><br /> - Flasher-3.5  documentation: Help file delivered as part of installation package<br /><br />Sources for libusb library (LGPL v2) installed as  part of Maemo Flasher-3.5 for Windows and Mac OS X:<br /> - Libusb (version 0.1.12 for Mac): <a href="http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libusb">http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libusb</a><br /> - Libusb-win32  (version 0.1.12.1 for Win): <a href="http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libusb-win32">http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libusb-win32</a></p>
<h3>Short description</h3>
<p>The Maemo Flasher-3.5 Tool is a command line utility that supports flashing of N900 device with Fremantle 5.x platform releases and N800, N810 and N810 WiMAX devices with Diablo 4.1.x platform releases. Notice that older Maemo devices (like Nokia 770) and older Maemo platform releases (like Chinook) may require a specific Flasher Tool.</p>
<p>Maemo Flasher-3.5 Tool is targeted for Maemo developer usage but also technology oriented end users of Maemo devices can use it if complexity of tool and command line user interface is not a problem for them.</p>
<p>Flasher-3.5 Tool is run from a Linux, Windows or Mac host computer as command line tool, and it will send data and commands to the connected Maemo device over USB. Command line  parameters supported by Flasher-3.5 Tool together with some usage examples are  documented in Help.txt file available from installation packages. Flasher-3.5  binary gives also command line help if it is run without any parameter or  with "--set-rd-flags" or "--clear-rd-flags" parameters.</p>
<h3>Installation</h3>
<p>The Maemo Flasher-3.5 Tool should be installed from the installation  package provided for Linuxes, Windows and Mac OS X.</p>
<p>Installation of Maemo Flasher-3.5 requires administration rights in  all supported operating systems.</p>
