The Developer Search

It's 2.3 port, doing it from scratch. Like nothing is working for now, and I'm working on it like once per 2 weeks, people from kernelnewbies.org are kinda helpful against my noobie questions.
I've got 2.2 port sources, and I'm using them to compare init sequences, GPIOs and so on.

I figured I may as well make a topic for this.

The main purpose today, is to find developers to help with the development of the Android - Wave/Bada port.

Specifically there is development needed for kernel drivers, for the modem, battery sensor etc. However, current developers are not capable of doing this work themselves and need help.

I've tried my hardest to get as far as possible as far as this search is concerned and am still trying to find people to help but I feel a little alone looking all on my own and I'd love some help, since I'm not even a developer at all and I don't really understand what all the technology speak is about!

I'm going to use this topic as a resource bank, for all the links, all the people I find, all the tutorials to try and help etc.

Info from Rebellos:

"We need someone familiar with low level Linux and/or ARM development, or has got open brain and alot of time to learn it. What is needed is to bring GB or newer ARMLinux (Android) kernel drivers to work basing on Samsung I9000/M110/M120/M130K and similiar kernel sources. UART port+UART JIG are pretty mandatory for this work, and of course S8500/S8530 phone."

"Someone with deep known about linux on low level would be very useful aswell. As I just got near zero experience and knowledge with linux and got stuck for example when tried to mount MMC interfaces in GB kernel, abandoned it after few hours of tries. I believe dev with enough know-how knowledge would know how to do it in few minutes."

The above are the first few sources I've found. I have not contacted any of these sites yet, neither do I really know what they actually provide specifically. I'm quite tired as of now and am going to do so later.

Please, anyone who can help me look and has the time do so. Say here you're going to help in this topic or PM me.

Long live the Wave!

Thanks for this thread, I'm also looking for help by myself and found some on kernelnewbies.org IRC (I'm literally kernel newbie ), so got touchscreen driver working in GB - it's the easiest one, as it's almost identical to SGS driver, but still happy to see ANYTHING fully working (appears so) in my port from scratch xD

Thanks, been using diff done by nbates for me. It's helpful.

Now I connected my forces with guy from JetDroid, it has got basically the same AP-CP protocol. We've got first 2 packets from CP, though it's all very tough todo. The protocol they're using in bada differs alot more from Android's Samsung Virtual Net as I supposed. Only general concept is the same, but driver has to be written from scratch, then packet handlers have to come, which means writing RIL almost from scratch - using reference vendor RIL provided by Google.

So much for modem driver - now I've got precise information, and with every day they're becoming even more precise and detailed. Still need someone who brings the rest of drivers alive. Too bad day is limited to 24 hours only, and making documentation for modem is very time expensive process. :<
