Hi Wolfgang,
this looks interesting to participate there since you have very
similar targets (but better connections to Ingenic) as the 'mipsbook'
project for Letux 400 and similar devices (which even use u-boot 1.1.6).

Betreff: Ingenic opening up more - daily Linux development tree
Antwort an: "Hard- and Software Development, Kernel, Distribution,
Roadmap" <develo...@turandot.qi-hardware.com>
Hi,
good news for all Ingenic hackers: Ingenic agreed to install a little
rsync box behind their firewall that will rsync their ongoing Linux
and u-boot development svn repositories to our public server.
What that means is that any updates they do on the 2.6.24.3 or 2.6.27
Linux tree, as well as u-boot (old 1.1.6 version) and usbboot, will
become public the next day :-)
Great!
You can find the 4 new projects at http://projects.qi-hardware.com
ingenic-tools-usb-boot
ingenic-linux-01boot-u-boot-1-1-6
ingenic-linux-02os-linux-2-6-24-3
ingenic-linux-02os-linux-2-6-27
Anonymous checkout for example like this:
svn co http://projects.qi-hardware.com/svn/ingenic-linux-02os-linux-2-6-27/trunk
linux-2.6.27
This is live as of right now, including revision history, and will
be updated at 2 AM every night (China timezone).
There are a number of things that we could imagine for the future,
such as Ingenic and the upstream Linux scene (us) working directly
together on a public git server.
Good target.
But we need to get there in small digestible steps. Also for me it's
important that Ingenic does not reduce their amount of Linux support.
I think the best we can do right now is if the various Ingenic hacking
efforts at Qi Hardware, openinkport.org, dingux.com, etc. could merge
their work into one tree.
Yes.
Many of us are cleaning up Ingenic's drivers, rewriting them for more
recent kernel interfaces. But it's quite fragmented.
Yes. Very fragmented.
If we could unite this into one place, based on the most recent
upstream
kernel at the time, we could then ask Ingenic to up-level to that
version and make it their new base. That would give us a chance to
Why not on linuxtogo.org? This is more independent from any company
(even qi-hardware.com).
substantially cleanup quite a bit of the architecture, and then have
Ingenic continue on top of it.
Suggestions and feedback welcome - today I'm happy that we made
another
small step towards more openness...
Wolfgang
