I hope so. :) I'd also be interested in an update about how it's going, once you have something to share. > This work could also be used as a test bed for the ideas shown in > Orlando presentation "The Future of Gonk". > > Thoughts? > (feel free to ping me to discuss this, irc nick: pepp) I already work on 'the future of Gonk' as I move non-critical Android drivers out of Gecko one by one. That is step one in the slides. A pure Linux implementation of some of the code would certainly be a welcome addition. In Bluetooth we have an internal API that separates the high-level logic from the actual driver code. If there's high-level logic to share between Linux and Android such interfaces could be used elsewhere in the code. If you're talking to kernel interfaces directly (i.e., by opening /dev/*), it's probably not worth isolating the code in a separate system service. Kernel interfaces are quite stable and portable; it should be fine to use them directly from within Gecko. Maybe security could be a concern.
