Nice update! If anyone is interested in working on the kernel or building an image themselves out of curiosity, check out the repositories in the imagebuild and kernel groups of the gitlab. A good starting point is to read the README and wiki of the docker repository, as this wraps the build...

Well since it’s 2019 all serial numbers will consist mostly of emojis

Read a research paper a few years ago where some people managed to get relatively accurate tracking of position and velocity of people just by analyzing EM disruptions using an off the shelf WiFi router. 1573625442 SCL? You mean the DDC clock? HDMI uses TMDS. MIPI uses LVDS at the physical...

they have separate inputs to the codec. ALSA should be able to control them seaparately, though I haven’t started mucking around in this side of our OS yet.

The headset mic is also connected to the codec. Just disable it in the device tree or ALSA.

That would take a long time. 20M+ lines on our version. But this would be pretty easy to hack in the kernel to make sure the mic is off. Just remove the microphone path in the codec device tree node. The kernel will no longer be able to find the microphone and use/expose it.

Hey @docbroke. Nope I haven’t gotten to this yet. I’ve been focusing on the essentials to get a stable release kernel and bootloader for the first run of units. This is almost done. One of my challenges soon is to investigate what needs to be done for suspend etc to be properly implemented on...

Perhaps here https://dev.pyra-handheld.com/kernel/omap5-sgx-ddk-linux Or here https://dev.pyra-handheld.com/packages/omap5-sgx-ddk-um-linux Perhaps we should work more closely with the AM57xx implementation if it differs. This SOC is very similar to the OMAP5, with the main differences being...

Cost. These smartphone grade processors are incredible expensive per unit (often in the $200-300 range) because of their high performance and high levels of integration. Smartphones need a SOC with everything integrated to save space, but that makes things costly. I wouldn’t be surprised it the...

Yep, although it’s not especially likely we’ll be able to build off their work as their kernel will likely be behind closed doors. The P70 also has built in WiFi and LTE which makes things a little awkward as we already have hardware for that.

The P70 looks pretty interesting. I’ve never worked with any Mediatek hardware, so not sure what their Linux support is like. If we could get some info on that that would be pretty neat. We’d probably have to first get a quote and discuss how many units were interested in. That definitely won’t...

Ya all this configuration is already possible. dot files are the way to do this, almost every piece of software supports them. There’s often GUI software for configuring them as well. I’m not very familiar with Mate so I can’t guarantee that last part. Not sure if the driver for the sensor is...

Should be doable http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/WiLink8_WLAN_Demo:_Linux#MultiRole_.28STA_.2B_AP_modes.29

Shutting down on lid close is not normal behavior. If you really want you can do that, but default will likely be to do nothing or turn off display until suspend is working properly

Battery charging is mostly stabilized. There is one strange bug where unplugging the charger triggers a logout in Mate when the battery is full. I also need to fix the OTG implementation, but other than that the charger driver is pretty done. Just working on getting my patches pushed into the...

Not gonna happen. Closed source boot process, no access to reference manual, horrible power efficiency, unmodifiable form factor.

Yes we will never get cutting edge SoCs. Ever. We will never get any SoC that you have seen in a phone in the last 5 years. It will honestly be at least 1-3 years before we will have access to any hardware that is anywhere close to current hardware seen in current phones and tablets. That...

I understand where you’re coming from, but I don’t really see any problem with simply discussing this. That’s what the forum is for. Clearly no money or resources have been launched into this, and whether they do and when is entirely up to ED and HNS. I just don’t see the harm in discussing the...

Height of the 8M is 2.03mm +/- 0.15mm. The 8QM documents haven’t been released yet, but I would assume the package dimensions are more or less the same. See page 76 https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/IMX8MDQLQIEC.pdf#page76

Very happy to hear that :) If you’re interested in helping out with the OMAP5 BSP also, let me know. I’ll have to take a look as it fully depends on how far the NXP tree strays from the one we’re using. If it’s just missing drivers and fw, that is very low impact and isn’t a whole lot more...
