[Experimental] Tatto htc kernel 2.6.29 for eclair!

---

This is an experimental build for tattoo derived from HTC Buzz soucres and Hero sources:

http://member.america.htc.com/downlo...34e5f81.tar.gz
http://member.america.htc.com/downlo...f74b252.tar.gz

build for eclair!

I have setup an github repository, you can crab it here:

http://github.com/segway/Htc-tattoo-....29-for-eclair

There you will find and the config file. Just copy it as .config and you ready to compile!

I test it at donut original HTC version and everything works except camera
(new configuration and drivers) and akm8973 (the problem is at the
struct akm8973_platform_data compass_platform_data with the LAYOUTS and the
driver at drivers/i2c/chips/akm8973.c. If you use the old struct and the driver
drivers/i2c/chips/akm8973.c from original tattoo kernel the compass works!
Maybe we need and a new /system/bin/akm8973 binary?).

What can you do to help me? Ok you can test the kernel with the android 2.1
system (you can grab also the /system/bin/akm8973 binary from buzz to
test if compass works) and send feedback. As i see in the buzz sources
there are several buzz implementations. On one of them there is present
a mt9t013 camera (see arch/arm/mach-msm/board-buzzc.c). This board
has many similarities with tattoo (akm8973, bma150). So we can get binary
files from official roms (for example /system/bin/akm8973).

At dmesg also i get a: "BUG: scheduling while atomic: kmmcd/9/0x00000002"
which is a sched something bug but the kernel continue to boot. I ll try to figure why.

That' s all
Keep hacking to all of you.

I will test this later if I have time

my rom already contain this kernel compiled from source and full functionally.
if u want i can upload only the zImage and the wlan.ko here or u can extract it from my rom

I dont think so. You have used the sources from donut kernel from HTC:
http://member.america.htc.com/downlo...-656120.tar.gz
I used the sources from buzz and hero kernels to compile a kernel
for tattoo. There are big differences you can check it with diff..

i will download it and wil l take a look but i don't think to find big differences in this kernel...

yes. this package contain the zImage and the wlan.ko module already compiled.


PS: the wlan.ko module can work only on 2.1 rom. if u need this moudule for 1.6 or 2.2 rom you have to recompile it. don't try to use a wlan.ko module from another rom...it can't work.

What could be the advantages to use the buzz/hero kernel?
You will lose all the tweak for the tattoo (even if they aren't so much).

i think that the htc release kernel already contain all needed patch for a specific devices... use a specific kernel of another device is not correct...you haven't all specific patch for your device and the kernel contain some not necessary (and unknow) patch for another devices...

i think that is only a losing time...

Ok you have a point but this can lead us to port 2.6.32 kernel (even aosp)..
Think that all the sources files at mach_msm directory is developed for
eclair by HTC.

Also extra tweaks for tattoo can always be imported to this kernel.

PS.: I noticed that from this morning the tattoo kernel at http://developer.htc.com/ change the name-link to
HTC Tattoo - Donut - 2.6.29 kernel source code! ;-P
