Guest Areo Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, Here some help maybe. I don't know if you already did it but on desire hd I was helping devs with ICS and here is how to enable the soft buttons: Decompile framework-res.apk, then open /res/values/bools.xml and set config_showNavigationBar to true I thinks it's not needed as we already used softbuttons on HoneyComb but just for the surity I posted it here :P Areo Edited November 27, 2011 by Areo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ejtagle Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 I know there is some anxiety on getting ICS running on Shuttle/Tegra2. Unfortunately, the original released accompanying kernel is targetting OMAP processors, not Tegra2. We need the 3.0 kernel features to get full functionality, And it does not help NVIDIA not releasing the required 3.0 kernel for Tegra2 - I even think that they don't have plans for porting Nvidia tegra2 support for the 3.0 kernel. So, the only choice left was to do the 3.0 port itself. and trust me, it is not trivial at all... The official linux 3.0 kernel from kernel.org supports tegra, but does not support power management for it. And has outdated drivers for most Tegra2 peripherals, and does not have graphics (framebuffer) support for it. So, this means we had to nearly start from scratch, adding to the 3.0 kernel the changes done by NV to the 2.6.36 kernel, but using the updated interfaces 3.0 has... Please, be patient. It willl take some time... I am almost done with porting, but i have still to debug it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man's hunger. And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine.

Guest ZTE_Blade Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 No idea... fps perhaps could be capped to the display refresh rate inside the nvidia propietary libraries. It makes no sense to go faster than that ;) Man, Legionnaire used the above quote almost word for word as if it were his own. Weird little thing to plagiarize if you're not him. You're not, right?

Just check when i started posting here ;) --- By the way, I am still porting to the 3.0 kernel. Right now, i have booting the 2.6.39 nvidia kernel, but, as soon as i enable the USB tegra controller, it locks up ... Trying to debug that.... Then, i will probably try to fix the 3.0 kernel (i also have ported the tegra2 hw support to it, but didn't boot) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ejtagle Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Well.. nvidia android 2.6.39.4 is booting ;) - Seems to recognize everything ... And seems to support all new ICS interfaces. I will make sure everything works fine, and then, probably, either we use it or we try to port to the 3.0.1 linux kernel (it is just the next version, so porting should be much easier ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ejtagle Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Well, just to give you an idea on where i am, i have attached my latest patches against the android-2.6.39 tag of the Nvidia kernel git.. I have still work to do: >MMC is not working. The reason is a modification Nvidia did to the MMC driver that does not support more than one SDHC at the same time. Fix is easy, but i had no time to implement it yet >Audio playback is crashing the kernel: Reason, probably a bug introduced in the ALC5624 codec driver when i ported it from the 2.6.36 ALSA Soc Audio to the 2.6.39 version... I have to debug it, but seems it should be easy to fix. All the other things should be working... As you see, there is still work to do, hopefully, in the next few days it will be done!

Cass Don't worry. The kernel patches i posted are very preliminary. I will fix all those problems, including the gralloc not initializing. What i was most interested in, initially, was to make sure the kernel boots. We are using the fb support that nvidia supplied in the 2.6.39 kernel. My idea was to try to use that uopdated fb support, but, if it does not work and there is no way to make it work, i will forward port the 2.6.36 fb code to the 2.6.39 ... ;) PD: By looking at: E/gralloc ( 88): Can't set nvmap fd: Not a typewriter E/FramebufferNativeWindow( 88): couldn't open framebuffer HAL (Not a typewriter) E/SurfaceFlinger( 88): Display subsystem failed to initialize. check logs. exiting... we see gralloc is failing to initialize. I suspect that the problem is that the gralloc uses a device (/dev/nvmap and /dev/knvmap), but the nvmap driver uses dynamic allocation for the minor number of the char device... Probably, the new kernel uses a different dynamically allocated minor number, so, unless we correct those nodes in the /dev folder, gralloc won't work ... You could easily find the correct numbers by looking either at /proc/misc or uin the /sys filesystem) ... ;) Edited December 1, 2011 by ejtagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, i will check i bit later what is going on with this ;) -- Something very silly must be missing. I'd really like to use the new fb framework of the 2.6.39 with the gralloc and openGl drivers ;) PD: Well, i think i found the problem. It will require an small patch to the fb driver in the kernel... Not a big problem, at least i hope so ;) Edited December 1, 2011 by ejtagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ejtagle Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Well, attached the next patch to the kernel, that should solve most issues: 1) SDHCI host fixed. Now we are able to mount the SD card without trouble 2) NAND driver fixed. Now it actually uses the timing information for the NAND chips on Shuttle 3) Several power management functions updated to the latest framework 4) Added back the missing IOCTRLs to the framebuffer driver that Nvidia removed from 2.6.36 to 2.6.39... This should make gralloc and openGl acceleration work 5) Fixed clock settings (some clock names changed from 2.6.36 to 2.6.39) on several components 6) Fixed some pin mux entries that required adjustment to work in the 2.6.39 kernel 7) Probably some other things i am forgetting right now... 8) Adjusted audio components, they are now properly recognized, but still crash the kernel while trying to reproduce audio. I still have to figure out where is the problem... Well, except audio, everything else should be working just fine.
