Hi Angus & Grant,
Because the Linaro Android 11.11 release has been done successfully, I have some time to continue to work on device tree topic, here is my blue print for it:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+spec/linaro-android-origen-...
Therefore, I would like to know what I can do for this in the 11.12 cycle - from now to the 18th December 2011. For Samsung Origen Android build, the latest kernel version I got is still 3.0.4+, so I think there is no any device tree stuff in it.
@Angus, Would you give me a brief about the device tree support status on our current 3.0.4+ kernel? Will you upgrade it to the 3.1 in 11.12 cycle?
@Thomas, In this blue print: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+spec/linaro-platforms-lc4.1..., Tony mentioned that you has upstreamed the initial support for device tree. However, it depends on the 3.1 kernel upgrade. I would like to know that is there any possible that I can do something without the kernel upgrade?
I currently feel that this work highly depends on the outcome of landing team and kernel group, so before I get something from them, I'm afraid that I can't do any "real" work on this.
Thank you all for your help!
The LT kernel for Freescale i.MX53 is currently based on 3.1 kernel, and hasn't support device tree yet.
The planned LT kernel for Freescale i.MX6 will be based on 3.2 kernel, and will support device tree from the start.
