Hi,
Sure, we should work together. Better the sooner. Here is my comments of the
current situation:
Some components should be removed from Roger Monk's patches and added later:
- NAND aemif timing should be removed and added back when following patch goes
in:
davinci: add support for aemif timing configuration
- McBSP support should be removed, AFAIK there is no support in mainline Linux
- VPIF support is present but only for DM6467. So no camera support for now.
- DA850 RTC support is broken, can be added back when a proper fix goes in.
and following components should work:
- VGA. Martin Ambrose solved my problem about VGA. There was some comments on
this mailing list when Khasim first submitted patches, so I'm trying to
improve da8xx-fb at the moment for proper display handling.
- I never had chance to play with SATA, but I think every bit is present in
mainline to make it work.
- MUSB should work I guess.
- USB host was working 3-4 months ago when I first tested Hawkboard with
mainline, only OHCI glue layer was missing at that time. IIRC, Sergei Shtylyov
pushed glue layer last merge window or before.
- Sound support is the most trivial I guess, we can use existing DA850 code
with minor modifications. If it is rejected, we can prepare a different board
file for ASOC.
- Ethernet support is working at the moment. All testing I do with NFS.
This is where I am and what I'm working on. On the following days I will be
dealing with SPI bits so don't know if I can submit anything at the moment. If
your situation is better than mine, then please post your patches to the
mailing list and if they get accepted then I will send my patches as
incremental patches to yours, or, please summarize your findings so that we
can join our efforts.
One last point, I think we should try to keep Roger Monk(CCed) in the loop. We
should add his signed-off to the patches as well(if he is ok with it) as he is
the original author and probably much more familiar with the everything about
Hawk than we are.
Thanks for putting your time on this.
Best Regards,
Caglar
