Not tested so far because I don't have antennae connected to the board and there were warnings against turning on the wireless in that case. Besides that, I think we may have to add a firmware helper to userspace. > we can get another 32k when I lzma vsa. We are not out of room. Nice. However, adding IPv6 to the kernel costs us 60k compressed. Bytes left in ROM: -53883 ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! The ELF image /sources/buildrom/deploy/olpc-payload.elf.lzma is too big! So we're ~22k too big even with vsa.lzma. Add to that the crypto code and we're probably in the range of ~50k (compressed) too big. What can we do? - Remove IPv6 dependency on IPv4 (hopefully ~20-30k compressed) - Switch from usb-storage to ub and remove SCSI support in the process (hopefully ~40-60 k compressed) - Remove any access control and user management (after all, this is the BIOS and we won't flash untrusted code there)... HEY! DON'T SHOOT ME! AARGH! ;-) Regards, Carl-Danel -- http://www.hailfinger.org/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
