Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

Due to popular demand, .61 is being re-released with NFS server support, opptimizer kernel modules, NTFS kernel R/W driver, and the Samsung ExFAT kernel driver (special thanks to sourenaraya for the patched source.)

Watch this post - the build should be done in a few minutes.

The first post has been updated.

Flashed, worked, everything OK!

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

Glean any useful info. about BT4 (& related) support out of those thread links?

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

BT4.0LE supported on TI WL1271 SDK device
BT4.0LE upgradable on another SDK devices
BT4.0LE supported on Motoactv (OMAP3630+WL1271, sound familiar?)
BT4.0LE advertised as selling feature on WL1271
It turns out my dad's iPhone 4S has BT Low Energy support, looks like I'll be able to get testing.

@juiceme yes, but im using it for downclocking cpu while listening music in long road :D
@Hurrian thanks :) and add kexec to features list ;)

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

That is a good point thanks! :D
I kind of never thought it could be used that way also. How much better battery life can you get with that?

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

well, never allowed my phone to die by battery, but its about -20% in day

Ah, now that rings some bells, from a time in the past when folks (like you just now) have done some proper "groking".

Sweet music to our ears.... :D

Hehehe, prolific coder & an audiophile... :D

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

If you start up a Debian install straight from ubiboot, with TI's BTLE-patched BlueZ, I can advertise the N9 as a Low Energy device to the 4S.

I'd work on this a bit more, but while assembling a serial terminal card for the N9 (fun experiments involving a certain 3.5.3 kernel and Harmattan), my iron slipped, and burned two fingers. Then it turned out the solder joint was too tall to fit in the slot :(

I'll get back poking on this when my left hand can type comfortably again...

If anyone wants to try having some fun, pull the Aegis patch (then apply the Open Mode patch :P), and hack them into the N9 Kernel Update 3.5.3. Add back CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G_OPT at arch/arm/Kconfig, then build the kernel and try starting Harmattan.

FYI: MSSF/Aegis is so problematic on 3.5.3, that I think it'd be better simply to stub Aegis functions.

If you still choose to patch in real Aegis bits (tm), note that DECLARE_MUTEX is now DEFINE_SEMAPHORE ;)

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

That's a neat trick, well thought of :D


Hope you heal soon, burns in fingers are painful I know...


I did that once, adding aegisfs stubs back to mainline kernel but did not really go through with it. At that time I had not yet built serial console and so I had no real visibility what was going on in the boot phase... now it would be much easier :D
