Hi -
I mentioned this already to npitre but for various reasons we are planning to target 3.0 kernel rather than linux-linaro-2.6.39 at the moment. 2.6.39 has some known issues like no onboard audio or HDMI audio, but since 3.0 has a new and better ALSA implementation for Panda I'm not sure it's worth spending time on when the old implementation won't really go into linux-linaro even if we did forward-port it again.
What does this mean for the 11.06 OMAP Android release? Will it use your 3.0 kernel or will it use 2.6.35 again?
I introduced two new branches yesterday:
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/andygreen/kernel-tilt.git%3Ba=shortlog... - omap4_defconfig
http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/andygreen/kernel-tilt.git%3Ba=shortlog...
- android_omap4_defconfig
that are linus' HEAD and common-3.0 (androidized nearly linus HEAD) based and have the API v4403 SGX stuff on them.
How hard is it to just grab the OMAP-specific patches from 3.0-rc<latest>and move them to 2.6.39?
The status is currently on linus HEAD, Panda EHCI is broken which is a bit of a downer; Jassi is taking a look at it. Also video is coming up nicely with 1080p raster, but it is stuck at 640 x 480 framebuffer viewport inside that right now.
Is this something that upstream is also aware of and tracking?
