Subject: MPC5121e Freescale BSP...
Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2007 08:30:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200712120830.30767.david.jander@protonic.nl> (raw)
Hi everyone,
I have an ADS5121 evaluation module from Freescale, and wonder if there's any
Freescale engineer on this list working on the linux BSP for this
processor/SoC/platform?
I have downloaded the latest alpha release of the BSP and found it to be
completely unusable. I took some time to fix the framebuffer driver, and make
console-fb work, I even sent patches to our Freescale contact, while I
already suspected it to be completely useless, since the BSP is already
lacking behind several months from actual Freescale code, and all those
issues are most probably fixed already. Only problem: I can't seem to get the
latest versions of it. I heared rumors they'll release a new version next
week or so, but I fear it will also lack behind development, and fixing bugs
myself or contributing code will be a useless waste of time!
Is there any Freescale engineer on this list that can help out, or at least
clarify the reasons behind closed-doors open-source software development??
On the other hand, I also whish to contact other furtunate owners of
PPC5121e-based hardware to join forces on linux-kernel driver development. If
Freescale won't collaborate, I'd even consider forking their code, if
necessary.
Greetings,
