Pandora Question To Pandora Linux Kernel Devs

[cosurgi]

A question, I suppose to DJWillis (but maybe few others too). Are you in contact with upstream kernel developers and talked with them about possible inclusion of pandora stuff into vanilla upstream source? If not yet - do you plan to talk with them about this?

Ideally grabbing a source from http://kernel.org and compiling it (with proper menuconfig) would give a fully functional pandora.

search disclaimer: I tried searching for: upstream, kernel, vanilla

I have been informed by DJWillis on IRC that this is already being done as much as possible with the omap1 kernel, which in turn submits patches to the official kernel.

This is my understanding, but it may not be completely accurate.

To add to javaJake's comment, you may want to start here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/...6.git;a=summary

Also the pandoradevs have also provided their own git repo on the pandorawiki

Good luck, let me know if I can answer any questions about compiling the omap1 kernels, ive compiled a few now.

I've seen at least http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/...e24d7d578e2e0b2, and searching for Pandora on the main kernel tree gives some other Pandora related commits, as well.
Looks like you could indeed boot off a kernel.org kernel, though not all the devices would work.

Great! Thanks a lot for your answers!
