Hi Kishore,

Are there any plans to bring support back in? We recently committed a project to using this BSP for the Intel DN2800MT...

Re: [PATCH 0/1][linux-yocto] Remove Cedartrail Machine

[Liu, Song]

Hi Chris,

Intel is still supporting critical fixes for the Cedar Trail BSP on Yocto Project 1.3 release. If you need additional support for your project, I can connect you with some Intel sales/support people who can help. At the same time, would you be able to share more information about your project with me? It will help when I ask them for additional support.

Song

Thanks, that's good news.

The only slight down side from my perspective is we won't get the benefits from 1.4 (and future) improvements. However, it will give me an excuse to move the hardware on as new platforms become available ;-)

I haven't looked at the changes. Out of curiosity, is it possible to add a
BSP back in for a new Yocto Project version? What would be the challenge?

It probably wouldn't take much to bring it back - basically the pvr
graphics driver, which I assume is one of the most important features of
this BSP for users, is stuck at kernel version 3.0.  If everything else
stayed the same, forward-porting the GPL'ed kernel portion of the driver
would be all that would be needed to get it working again.  We've done
that routinely for other drivers such as EMGD, so I don't think that
would be too big a deal.

The bigger problem is who would support it going forward.  I could do
the initial work to fix it up (if I had the hardware, which I don't - I
may get a cedartrail netbook in March, so that ) (or we could take
patches) but I wouldn't have the time to support it after that.

If someone stepped up to support it, though, that would make a
difference in keeping it around in 1.4 and beyond, I think.

Alternatively there's the fully open source but non-accelerated
graphics drivers.  This would let the BSP survive, but is anyone
(Chris, I'm looking at you here!) using CDT in a situation where the
open 2D driver is sufficient?

Not me ;-) One of the main reasons I moved 'here' was because we needed the graphics performance.

I'll do my best to keep 1.3 going until Valley View then! :)

Would that mean only non-accelerated graphics? I remember someone on this list a while back saying they had seen it ported to (I think) 3.2 under a main-stream distro.

What would that involve? Is it fairly stand-alone, or would in-depth knowledge of the kernel 'magic' be required?

No, the value is in the accelerated graphics and the effort would be to
keep that going - nobody cares about the non-accelerated (or that I've
heard anyway).

I didn't realize there were already ports past 3.0 for the pvr driver
out there - so much the easier if that's the case.

Basically it would entail keeping it building and responding to and
fixing user problems.  The 'kernel magic' knowledge should only come
into play when moving to a new kernel version, but also if there were
problems that were rooted in the kernel or required debugging the kernel
portion.

Maybe the current maintainer could shed some light on the kinds of
problems they've had to deal with from users - my impression is that
it's along the lines of 'the pvr driver doesn't work with my LVDS panel'
and things like that.  Which can be a huge time sink to have to deal
with...

As for anything kernel-related that came up, I believe that was mostly
handled by the Intel team that wrote the driver, whose support we'd no
longer have (and is the main reason the BSP is being abandoned IIRC).
Obviously with them out of the picture, the new maintainer (with help
from the Yocto team I presume and would volunteer to help with) would
have to take on that role.

Ack'd. I'll merge and push this out on Monday.
