Does OMAP 1710 support multiblock writes safely?


I guess you can remove it from the list. I take this post
http://linux.omap.com/pipermail/linux-omap-open-source/2006-November/008285.html
as a yes.

Whether omap driver and mmc block layer source in our 2.6.16.27 is ideal 
or not is different story. As for omap.c it seems to be similar in 
current omap git tree and seems to return number of written bytes both 
for DMA and PIO modes [1].


As for mmc block layer there is better error handling in current git 
tree and number of bytes written are taken into account now [2] so the 
operation partly succeeds which has better chance to do whole transfer 
correctly by repeating smaller chunks in case of error. I will try to 
add this to 2.6.16.27. Maybe this will make difference with

http://maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-developers/2006-November/006410.html
or maybe not.

Well, could you at leash kick the windows flasher team to make advanced 
 flasher like the linux or macos one? Thank you. See also

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/developers/4409?search_string=windows%20flasher%20;#4409

It would help people with windows based machines using colinux or qemu 
for development. While I have both kernel and initfs flasher running on 
device now I'm still missing functionality like

- load kernel to ram
- set various flags

Or better really release the protocol or flasher source with 
coldflashing code removed. 'lack of interest to reveal the protocol' 
seems like no showstopper. Or is it?


Thanks.

I verified this from one of the relevant developers: indeed, we don't
have permission to publish the coldflashing code. Also, there may be a
lack of interest to reveal the protocol in general.

[maemo-developers] Unresolved issues (Week 47)

2006-11-28 Thread Tommi Komulainen
I'm rather busy right now so I skimmed the list archives more quickly
than usual so I may have missed something interesting. Please make a
note if I did.

I'd like to ask people replying to this mail to change the Subject
accordingly. It makes scanning the mailing list much easier. Thanks.


Here is a list of issues raised on this list I think have not been
concluded so far, in no particular order. The easiest way to get off the
list is to provide answers, but you can also try convincing me other
ways.
