Many patches for the hardware and various features have been pushed upstream by Nokia developers and possibly others. Those are now available in current l-o tree. Nonetheless, many drivers and various features are still missing upstream. Simply put, one cannot expect to run a current l-o kernel on the device (and expect to get a GUI and/or make call with the device). To get an idea of what it would take to achieve that, I started looking at what is missing upstream, what is already there and what is currently being pushed. I started putting some notes on this triage work and a set of patches here: http://natisbad.org/N900/n900-current-linux-omap-kernel.html If some among you are interested and/or have comments on the topic, they are welcome. Among other things, I am worried about the OMAP 3430 GPU code: if some people from TI can provide some advice on that aspect, that would be great! Cheers, a+
