Re: [Announce] [12.09.05] kernel-plus 2.6.32.59 for Harmattan
 
Now that I had time to look it thru, the l2fix is already present in the 2.6.32.59 patches by Hurrian, so no need to recompile anything :D:D

you just sayin "it need extra 30secs to load this kernel" =D

I did, yes. That's because I assumed the fix was not present. That's what your exceptations make you feel it is like :o

I did not measure it, of course. I just assumed it was takiing longer to load...

1st post says:I didnt found any info about Linaro toolchain for harmattan sbox, so where i can get it?

Proposed features, guys ;)

As of 2.6.32, the wl12xx driver supports both AP and STA modes without changing the kernel driver.

The problem is that the AP mode firmware files for all wl12xx chips seem to be completely missing from the Internet for some reason.

This has been an issue since the N900 days.

...so that's what that bit of asm pushed by a Nokian did...

I can get different versions of wl1271-fw-ap.bin from both here and here.

The issue is that I cannot seem to get hostapd to load it for some reason. If others could try, that would be great.

Hey, Linaro?

The kernel builds properly when using Sabermod's Linaro GCC 4.8 cross-compile toolchain for ARM EABI.

It doesn't boot, though.

NON-Linaro information:

I've recently picked up a spare N9 (smashed screen, though) hwrev 1607, and K+ boots just as often as Harmattan on it.

On hwrev 1507, it just hangs at kexec. Finicky.

Would it be possible to add BT4 support at some point?
IIRC that Brazilian org. (name escapes me) had completely finished Harmattan support, but was never allowed to release it for reasons never answered/explained by them.

I'd say it is doable, if only the firmware blob that we have supports it. The chipset support is OK.
The difficulty might be on the same order of magnitude as WLAN AP mode support, baring the fact that I have not ever done any work with bluetooth drivers/stack.

It would be really desirable, as I'd love to get the low-energy BT support that is used in various gadgets working.

Yeah I'd sooo love that, later I'll try to find some contact info for the folks that were originally involved in implementing the BT4 support.
