11:28.52kay2i'd like to know how the ARM9 is connected to the baseband processor (arm7 + dsp)

15:06.56x_brunohello
15:07.18x_brunodoes anybody know the status of porting the kernel to the msm7xxx devices?
15:10.08Zooloocx_bruno: you should differentiate msm7xxx, you may know that the "android" kernel is already msm7200A-"ready", which unfortunately does not yet help with msm7200
15:11.16x_brunowhat are the missing features?
15:13.10ZooloocI'm not a kernel programming expert, but there have been discussions in this channel about this already. short version: it's not yet possible to even boot that kernel on, let's take a HTC Kaiser
15:13.37x_brunoZoolooc: which is my phone
15:14.15Zooloocmine too.... longer version: different initialization for several registers, vector interrupt controller, different framebuffer...
15:14.17x_brunoalso, I downloaded haRET and I control it with pocket putty on the Kaiser
15:14.31x_brunothe gpio functions are missing
15:14.38Zooloocyou can even control it from the PC
15:14.55Zoolooceither via WLAN, or USB
15:15.12x_brunoI know, but I have a long comute
15:15.48x_bruno40 minutes each way
15:16.18x_brunois there any ported bootloader? like apex?
15:17.37Zooloocdon't know
15:17.45x_brunoor do we depend on the built in one?
15:18.36Zooloocguess that only kicks in when some day linux is flashed to ROM. until then, I'd be happy to boot it with haret from the microSD
15:19.00Zooloocwhich has to overcome lots of hurdles, still
15:19.20x_brunoyou guys are using haRET for booting linux right?
15:19.49Zoolooceven after booting a kernel, it must support several hardware, one of them must be accessing the SD card, which will not work yet, AFAIK
15:20.40Zooloocx_bruno: if I got these guys here right, that's the first approach
15:23.08x_brunook, but one of the things is: the built in bootloader supports booting from the card
15:26.46Zooloocdon't know, maybe
15:27.11x_brunoaccording to the xda.developers
15:30.09x_brunoZoolooc: http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/UniversalHowtoInstallLinux
15:30.26x_brunoit is for the universal, but t may give some starting point
16:51.00*** join/#htc-linux dcordes (n=dcordes_@f048039248.adsl.alicedsl.de)
16:51.17dcordeshi x_bruno, Zoolooc, others
16:51.24dcordesI just read your conversation about kaiser
16:51.35dcordesx_bruno, didn't you say you are familiar with driver development?
16:52.18dcordesx_bruno, just to make things clear: As Zoolooc said we need no bootloader at all. Everything you can try right now can be done from haret.
16:52.59dcordesto say it with Kevin2's words: that would be rocket engines while we can't even walk. What we need right now is a driver for the display
16:53.23dcordeswe can boot the msm kernel, but we can't see anything, n'either can't we get a connection because of lacking hardware
16:53.58dcordesthat is because kaiser has a different framebuffer then the other htcs so it can't be controlled by the current msm tree (correct me if I'm wrong)
16:54.36dcordeshave to go again,  sorry

18:49.12x_brunook
18:49.33x_brunoany hints on what is required for the driver?
18:49.35x_bruno1st
18:51.17x_brunowhat is the LCD, is there any pdf for it? anybody knows the model?
18:58.05*** join/#htc-linux pleemans (n=peter@d51A5E76A.access.telenet.be)
19:01.13kay2how are we gonna drive the ARM7 that takes care of the GSM protocol ?
19:02.21x_brunokay2: is there any pdf with specs?
19:02.46kay2not as i know
19:03.14x_brunodriver development is easy, as long has you have the specs and registers to pass info to
19:03.45kay2yeah
19:03.50kay2but its in the OMAP
19:03.51x_brunoi used to do gameboy advanced dev, and I did some programming in assembler for that processor
19:03.57kay2both cores ARM7 and ARM9 are in the OMAP
19:04.07kay2and the ARM7 has its own DSP to do the GMSK + Viterbi
19:04.26kay2so as long as you dont have the datasheet of the OMAP850 u can't do anything
19:04.36kay2unless you take the driver of winCE and reverse ing it
19:05.16x_brunocool, its a texas instruments device
19:05.21x_brunohttp://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12000&contentId=4679
19:05.38cr2_kay2: there are no docs, and don't expect any docs. why don't you look at the typhoon gsm module ?
19:05.40kay2x_bruno: but u only get the datasheet if you sign an NDA
19:05.42kay2which is not easy
19:05.57kay2cr2_: typhoon gsm module ?
19:06.05cr2_x_bruno: all you can find on the ti site is mostly useless junk
19:06.34kay2cr2_: why the typhoon gsm module ?
19:06.44kay2cr2_: the source code are available ?
19:07.03cr2_yes.
19:07.06cr2_http://vivien.chappelier.free.fr/typhoon/gsm.html
19:07.49kay2cr2_: even its GSM stack is available ?
19:08.10cr2_yes, and it even half-works
19:08.19kay2cr2_ ?? seriously ?
19:08.37cr2_i don't have omap850 myself, so can't tell you more than you can get from this page.
19:09.03kay2cr2_: what am looking for is the sourcecode of the GSM stack
19:09.06cr2_kay2: from what i can deduce from the module source, it looks not bad.
19:09.19cr2_GSM stack is in the firmware.
19:09.20kay2cr2_: not just an AT modem
19:09.36kay2cr2_: yeah but the source code of the firmware are available or its just a .bin
19:09.49cr2_if you are capable to disassemble the DSP firmware...
19:09.57cr2_kay2: are you joking ?
19:09.58kay2cr2_: nop that would take for ever
19:10.18kay2cr2_: why would I be joking ;) lol
19:10.21cr2_kay2: ti does not provide even the omap datasheet.
19:10.36cr2_stay away from ti if you can ;)
19:11.03cr2_we will see how it will work out with qualcomm
19:11.42kay2cr2_: I have the gsm stack of one of the TI gsm chip
19:11.48x_brunokay2: what phone are you refering to?
19:12.08kay2TMS30
19:12.22kay2tsm30
19:12.25cr2_if you have followed the openmoko development, ti prohibits the firmware update there.
19:12.34x_brunook
19:12.57x_brunomy efforts now are in looking for suitable information about the kaisers LCD
19:12.58kay2D741979
19:13.37kay2thats the TI chip
19:14.22x_brunokay2: thanks
19:14.42*** join/#htc-linux rob_w-tablet (n=bob@M806c.m.pppool.de)
19:14.44kay2cr2_: what is the product number of the omap850
19:16.47x_brunohttp://wiki.thc.org/gsm/opentsm
19:19.33kay2yeah
19:19.39kay2thats the source code
19:23.39kay2what's "vivien chappelier" 's nickname ?
19:25.12cr2_there is contact info on this page.
19:25.45x_brunoanybody knows where I can find kaiser's guts exposed?
19:26.26kay2cr2_: on his page ?
19:26.36cr2_kay2: yes.
19:27.13cr2_http://vivien.chappelier.free.fr/typhoon
19:29.42kay2cr2_: yeah there is his email, i wanted to see if he was online by any chance ;)
19:35.39x_brunook
19:35.47x_brunoapparently it has ati imageon
19:36.17cr2_x_bruno: which phone ?
19:36.24x_brunokaiser

19:51.09x_brunothis channel should be split into several channels
19:52.13x_brunoall htc's have different chipsets, different architecture, different everything, so a communal effort can only be done on a per model basis
