Re: Nokia, its time to release driver specs!! Open the drivers!!
 

Are you sure? My information may be outdated, but I remember them struggling with GPS and GSM modem drivers (maybe some other ones too, it was few years ago when I read that), are they finally open?

Re: Nokia, its time to release driver specs!! Open the drivers!!
 

List of things that absolutely need to be opened:
PowerVR SGX driver

MeeGo/Nemo already has mce, ofono, etc.

Good luck pushing ImgTec to open that thing.

If you want answers, ask proper questions.

For instance,

1. why not to request for opening MEIF protocol (used for (A)GPS in Nokia devices)?

2. BME or open-source replacement. Or, at least, open library that may be used to get current charging/battery status (w/o interacting with BME).

3. SGX? Ask Imatec, not Nokia.

..And so on..

and the camera too...
we have seen mods of vga(video) capable devices pulled till 720p... since N900 has already reached 720p mark....

we it being done.. we can reach 1080p mark(with good encodng & proper fps)

According to http://wiki.maemo.org/Fremantle_closed_packages (this is ther 3rd time I'm quoting this page this week), camera-firmware is already open source ;)

Re: Nokia, its time to release driver specs!! Open the drivers!!
 

As answered in previous discussions like this one: Nokia is not considering the relicensing of any of its software components released with Fremantle. About Harmattan, the pieces that were meant to be opened were already published in the context of the MeeGo project.

There is nothing new to discuss. Collaboration around the Mer of CSSU community projects is probably the best way to invest your time.

Want to help?

@all:
TBH I don't see anything of a major importance besides SGX driver(which source code is not a property of Nokia). And it will be REd at some point. Really, those requests are pointless.

Cool :-) Are these N900-specific or do they apply to the OMAP2 generation as well?

Re: Nokia, its time to release driver specs!! Open the drivers!!
 

I believe Pali has written a rather marvelous kernel module for the charging chip. That in combination with the BQ27x00 module more or less negates the need for BME anymore.
