PSB / SLT HW Support
====================
Jacob is still root causing the Local APIC Timer issue, this is looking
like
a potential Si issue with the mwait instruction while in C1 state with
Tickless idle enabled. Wakeup events are being ignored. Jacob is working
on a workaround for the issue.
SDIO
====
We're still in the process of integrating & developer testing Marvell's
GPL release of the 8688 WLAN + BT drivers. WLAN basic functionality is
there, but BT is failing on FTP transfers.
Dabney Thermal patches
======================
No changes this week.
USB Client Drivers
==================
Alek Du is working on a full USB Client solution for Moblin.org.
Specifically
he's working on these tasks:
* moblin-image-creator will be modified to allow configuring a
per-platform
vfat partition. Eventually mic will support per-device type
configuration,
but for now we are just working with per-platform.
TODO: determine if per-device configs need to be done in the Moblin
Beta3
timeframe.
* Alek will add a hotplug script to crown-beach-config that will:
- Broadcast a DBus message to notify applications
- Attempt to unmount the vfat partition, and if that fails then wait
a
configurable period of time, kill all processes with open file
descriptors on the partition, and then unmount the partion
- After the device is disconnected, then mount the vfat partition
and
then broadcast a DBus message to let applications know that it is
Ok
to read data off the partition again.
This first implementation will not provide a mechanism for the user to
cancel
the sync operation via the device. That will happen by using the host
system
to disconnect (or just pulling out the USB cable.)
Eventually (and we need to decide if this is a Beta3 thing), we need to
have
an interactive interface between the applications and the hotplug script
to
allow an app to prevent a sync. For example, you plug your device into
the
host system, but only want to charge and wish to continue using the MID.
PSB Gfx & Video Drivers
=======================
We've begun integrating PSB Gfx driver Beta3 release. I'm expecting it
to be
completed by end of this week. During our integration testing we noticed
that
With this version of the driver, PowerTop is showing an additional 120
interrupts
per second from X.
The closed source components will not be released on moblin.org due to
third-party license restrictions.
Power and Performance Testing/Optimization
==========================================
No changes this week.
