Nokia 770 kernel sources?

Nokia 770 kernel sources?

[Jon Masters]

Hi folks,

Anyone know if a vanilla 2.6 omap1 kernel is supposed to "just work" on the 770?

Cheers,

Jon.

A lot of the 770 stuff already been merged, but there are
still some more patches coming. So you should be able to use
the linux-omap tree at some point.

All the core omap stuff we merge with the mainline kernel on
regular basis, but some omap specific drivers will probably
never make it to the mainline tree because they are only
used on development boards etc.

Regards,

Tony

I'd like to use it now as I've got a 770 that I'd like to play with.

Sure. I've played with vendor omap kernels in the past.

The kernel sources for N770 will be available in www.maemo.org when we
start sales. There will be some binary modules that will not be made
open source. All drivers we can open source, we will, and they will be
pushed to linux-omap tree and into mainstream kernel through driver
specific channels. Unfortunately all open source drivers are not yet in
linux-omap tree so you cannot compile your own kernel for N770, I'm
sorry about that.

Sure thing. I'm actually just trying to be helpful since I'm pretty
experienced at debugging kernels and noticed a few issues with the VM on
the unit I have - guess I'll have to wait before I can debug those -
there's also a couple of problems with the audio driver.

There's a suspicious looking connector in the battery compartment that
might well be JTAG. In any case, I'm confident that if I actually opened
this unit I could figure out the changes you've made to the reference OMAP.
But I'll wait because I don't want to take this unit apart :-)

Jon.
