Hi, I have seen that ED has announced that there is a new set of TILER patches: https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/threads/wrapping-everything-up.83465/ "zmatt has reimplemented his rotation hack (so the Pyra is finally fully usable again!)" Is this reimplementaion available anywhere for integration into the letux tree?
Many thanks!
I applied it to the 4.19.4 kernel, 4.19.3 is very unstable.
It's a quick hack though, not the cleaned up version zmatt mentioned here before.
No problem.
I just want to make sure that future letux kernels include the latest fixes we know. (even if hacks) and do not make a regression if we switch to 4.19.8 (bug fix for ext4 data loss issue - which might not affect us, but who knows?) or 4.20.0.
This should make life easier for everyone.
The best of course would be if we could get at least some of our TILER patches upstream so that they melt away our private patch sets... That is the standard methodology of Letux kernel development: hack something so that the Pyra (and other devices) work. Then keep it working with upstream updates. And try to clean things up and submit upstream.
BR and a nice weekend, Nikolaus
