Has anyone made _any_ headway with the kernel sources?
-Martin
Well as written already we Got the Sources for a Phone called IPro (see Photo )
that has the same Mediatek SoC Proccessor MT6572 but beside this has nothing else
in common with the Omate Truesmart Watch Phone we buyed.
If LePen from Omate really paid Money for this Code Sources to MediaTek or anybody else to get the Omate Truesmart Sources then he clearly got deceived by this People who sold it to him.
You only need to Look in the Sources we got as a example to the Project Configuration File at the Lines for the Screen Resolution that has the Values
800 Pixel Height and 480 Pixel Width to know that the Sources we got have little to do with the Omate truesmart Phone.
Wrong Screen Resolution Values
If the Sources were right we will see in this Configuration Line lines like 240 Pixel Width and 240 Pixel Height.
IT is the Job of LePen from Omate Truesmart to look that he get the Right Sources for the Money he Paid and asked for as at the end he is Responsible to deliver the Sources to us based on the GPL License.
I myself like others have fixed and are still fixing this and other Errors in the Sources to get as possible Close to the Omate Truesmart Soucres but this is a time consuming Work that need lot of Try and Error Work and do not provide any assurance that it will work the best.
What i have done lately is installing a ARM v7 Thumb Disassembler like this one here
http://jbremer.org/darm/
With a Disassembler it is Possible to Reverse Engine the Machine Code into Human Readable Code and Copy Paste the Relevant Parts that are missing
or modified between the Original Kernel Firmware and the one we Builded. That way we can Patch our Sources better and get the same Kernel like the Original Delivered one.
The Problem is that the DARM Dissasmbler is a Work in Progress Project that till yet do not support all Machine ARM Op Codes and because of this
just disassemble only only a part of the Kernel Firmware.
Compared to the IDA PRO Disassembler that is the state of the Art Tool for doing such things the Disassembler is Incomplete. The Demo Version of IDA PRO is not able to disassemble ARMv7 Machine Code.
I am looking because of this for Somebody who has access to the newest Full Version of the IDA PRO Disassembler and can Disassemble one time the Original Kernel Firmware and one time the self Builded Kernel Firmware and post the Disassembled Source Code Result so we can make further Progress.
For more Info about IDA PRO ARM Disassembler see this video here

We need to do Reverse Engineering of the Kernel Firmware. This is the most Promising way to get a self builded Kernel to boot on our Omate Truesmart as long we don't get the right Sources.
