Hi,
Anyways, this is only of temporary need. ED already has a batch of unprogrammed panels, while for series production he was promised to get them programmed at the factory.
Unfortunately this whole setup brings back bad memories of what we have with pandora nubs, where the microcontrollers are only readable and not programmable. If OMAP could reflash the micros, we could have updated them after release, and maybe it would made sense to start an reverse engineering project to create alternative firmware. As it is now absolutely nothing can be done to improve the nubs on pandora.
It's not good if we won't be able to program the panel, like updating gamma curves, something we already do on pandora. Or is that just for the init sequence that has problems?
The main usage for the Solomon chip is not the rotation but powersaving and color correction features. So while we can't program the panel, we can use the chip to correct gamma curves, etc.
