Out of the people who have a QUAD board, is anyone else using it it headless and with ethernet networking? Which is a roundabout way of me asking, if I were to release a kernel image based on main-line kernel development source, ie. 3.11, (rather than the Freescale 3.0.35 tree), which currently lacks support for video, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, is there anyone with a QUAD other than me who would be able to run it?
Going forward, my gut feeling is that the Broadcom driver support for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth is going to be there, (in 3.11), very soon, (days/weeks ????), and while video support might not make the 3.11 development cycle, from what I can figure it looks like it will be there by 3.12..... I have a couple of reasons for wanting to push towards a main-line kernel, rather than hold back on the Freescale 3.0.35 sources, not least that it makes it easy to move on to a Fedora 19 based image, but the device tree support and support for John's DAC daughter board also figures into this as well. I think what I'm going to do, is to stick with a stable image, which is the current R6 image, based on kernel 3.0.35 and Fedora 18, and release a development/unstable image based on kernel 3.11 and Fedora 19. At the moment the dev image would be limited to QUAD users, running headless with wired networking, but as things get fixed, (USB is currently hosed, kernel 3.11 with the DUAL), and added, (Wi-Fi and video support), others can run it. From my point of view, thinking about repo and updates, that will keep it clean and cause me less time and hassle. So that's the plan...... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98544 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
