Our customer is treating the support of the 8688 as a low priority,
since they have already designed in the 8686 part. My team is planning
to support the 8686 driver, along with the module supplier that is
working with the customer.
So we do not have any near term plans to work with the 8688.

PSB C0 HW Support
=================
We finally received C0 HW. Jacob is currently root causing the Local
APIC Timer issue that requires the kernel boot param nolapic_timer to
avoid a boot hang issue.
Since you are the only ones with C0 HW, could you confirm that the
Ubuntu kernel available in the PPA[1] boots and works correctly on
the C0.

Will do and report back what we found out.
SDIO
====
No changes to the SDIO patches since last status report. We're in the
process of integrating Marvell's GPL release of the 8688 WLAN + BT
drivers. We're doing the initial port of their drivers from 2.6.18
kernel and cardbus to 2.6.22 and Pierre's SDIO stack, but we will not
support this port. We're expecting Ubuntu to help out here.
I haven't heard of requiring to put any effort into this yet. We would
of course required access to the HW in order to support and help with
this port.
I was told by Intel management that the Canonical Lexington team, as
part of their support for your customer, would be support this driver on
the customers HW. If that's wrong now would be the time to correct this
misunderstanding. The problem with this driver is that the vendor
providing it is unwilling to support it, at this time, on 2.6.22 or
beyond nor are they willing to support it on SDIO.
Dabney Thermal patches
======================
As reported previously, the Alpha release of the Dabney Thermal
patches have been applied to the Moblin kernel. No changes this week.
This has already been integrated into the Ubuntu PPA.
USB Client Drivers
==================
We've updated the kernel patch containing the USB Client C0 release.
The update contains a fix for a bug where the USB Client crashes
with a FIFO_ERROR under large bulk transfers. The released moblin's
kernel-mid
2.6.22-18 release to gaston contains these changes.
I will pull this into Ubuntu. A pointer to the commit ID would help to
make sure I pull in the right stuff.
The commit's SHA1 for the change is
ccb72247961a0750fcded9a3f7c350309ee0e9b3.
You can also do a git between release tags on the patches directory to
see the changes.
$ git diff gaston-v2.6.22-17 gaston-v2.6.22-18 debian/patches/
PSB Gfx & Video Drivers
=======================
No code changes this week. We will begin integrating PSB Gfx driver
Beta3 release at the end of this week. We should have this completed
by end of next week. The closed source components will not be
released on moblin.org due to third-party license restrictions.
Please send the commit ID when you have finished integration, so that
I can pull this into Ubuntu.
Will do.
