Thanks, I found that last week when looking for driver info. Unfortunately, it doesn't have enough detail, like register descriptions, etc., to be that useful. It does seem like a capable chip, so it looks like it could be made to work better than it is now. We don't hear any other complaints about that chip, which is another clue. > > Unfortunately, the cyanogenmod ar6000 module v3.1.1.734 doesn't support > the ar6002 in the radio...at least not my rev.7.

However, this code does share similarities with the patch files, with the patches being a few to several lines off. Combined with RedDec and Radare2, etc., it might be possible to at least understand what might be happening. Interesting that AR6kSDK.build_3.1_RC.734 has open source "free software" statements as does .18, e.g.: * copyright (c) 2004-2007 atheros communications inc. * all rights reserved. * * * this program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify * it under the terms of the gnu general public license version 2 as * published by the free software foundation; * * software distributed under the license is distributed on an \"as * is\" basis, without warranty of any kind, either express or * implied. see the license for the specific language governing * rights and limitations under the license. The 3.1_RC.734 is similar. Would not this be the case with the .62 source, in the middle, as well? Perhaps someone could check the slimdevices private repository mentioned in the sources, and maybe make that public if so allowed. If not, it should be. Of course, the proprietary binary code and data for the processor might have problems. I wonder if it is Qualcomm Atheros's interests for this issue to grow, and whether that might make any difference regarding any support or access they might provide. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ POMdev's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70558 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111663 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
