In the mean while, it is a waste of time and we don't really want to reinvent the wheel if some of the up-porting work has been done for version 2.6.23 or newer kernel, it would be great if anyone knows any of the following (list may go on as we move forward) has been done and post pointers here,
1. resizer, previewer, capture (Steven has done most of them, but doesn't make sense to push if they are already done somewhere else, as Steven's work is based on my limited understanding of udev, in fact I brutally hacked the resizer driver without really knowing what I was doing, although test shows it works. ;)) 2. USB host performance and USB Hub support (which Frank is currently working on, it is not a trivial system as we all know.) 3. HD framebuffer support (720p/1080i?) 4. HD V4L2 support (720p/1080i?) 5. Davinci Open Embedded build system integration One of the Neuros community member ported this to DM320 platform, while we are planning to reuse his effort with Davinci, it would be great to know if someone has already taken care of this. 5.1 toolchain rebuilding In related (somewhat) to OE effort, we are also looking to rebuild a newer GCC toolchain for Davinci. Existing MontaVista one that came with DVEVM is too old (GCC3.4.3) and it doesn't even build FFMPEG. This is another area that we definitely don't want to duplicate effort for. Once again, although as an organization, Neuros has to pick a kernel version and stick to it for a while (2.6.23 so far), we really would like to push all the generic patches upstream thus we have a better base to work with for future generation product and this benefits everyone else too I guess. :) Thanks all, /MG _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
