Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Unfortunately it is not how it works, some complex SW (like Qt and microb-engine) need patching in order to work (or even to be compiled) with -mthumb.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

So you say you need to patch Qt in a way so it wouldn't compile for ARM anymore, just to make it compile for thumb?
That for sure doesn't sound right.
And how would you update such a massively patched Qt version, in case any newer mainstream Qt comes in?

Sure, if you find a maintainer I am all for it. Until then what me and Pali plan is to have only one kernel, which replaces omap1, kernel-power and kernel-cssu, you name it (though most probably it will be kernel-cssu). OC, usbhost and the other stuff are features, not something you are obliged to use.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Instead of arguing over TMO you may want to check the commits in CSSU Qt thumb-testing branch. That is why thumb-testing branch is.

ITE (pseudo)instructions are ignored in ARM mode, while you MUST have them in thumb mode. And I would not call backported upstream patches consisting of few instructions meaningful only when compiling for thumb a "massively patched Qt version".

Now, back to the topic:

thumb2-compiled microb-engine is in the cssu-thumb repo. You won't receive "maemo5 update" as I ran out of time to prepare it, but those of you who feel comfortable with terminal may want to do(as root):


get libgcc_s.so.zip from here http://dox.bg/files/dw?a=3daf095264 and extract the library in "/lib",replacing older version.

apt-get update
apt-get install libnspr4 libnss3 libnss3-certs microb-engine microb-engine-common

OR(if you really know what you're doing)

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Reboot the device aferwards.

And I will appreciate if someone posts the apt-get install../upgrade output, especially the line with "xxx bytes of disk space will be freed"

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Sorry for the not complete output. But after the update of microb-engine i have rebooted my device...
but apt-get says that ~4MiB may be freed

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

3973kB disk space will be freed.

^This
I was thinking a dirty solution would be for Pali and developers to simply list the dependency of a pseudo-package, "power-capabilities" or something along those lines, so they would work on any custom kernel with these capabilities. Of course that would require repackaging many debs, but your unifying approach is that whole lot more sensible. How would this happen?? Would Pali join CSSU or what route is expected?? If you do unify having a package such as the power-flasher still appear as installed for older packages to work would be smart. Of course, all you people are really smart and have probably thought all of this (or better solutions :) )

As for the features you are right about that, features should be available even if not used, I do not overclock but I would like to know I have a fully capable kernel that can do what I want on a linux-phone as this.

So essentially a very longwinded thanks :) and kudos to the thumb idea and results you are obtaining, as I seem to recall Estel said, this thread is really gold :)

After installing microbrowser recompiled, I entered a reboot loop. Lovely!
Will restore everything tomorrow, or maybe flash.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Did you apt-get upgrade or install?? Those libraries sure do not look like dependencies for a bootable system (I could be wrong though)
