hmm, interesting, I compiled it out of the box (except for removing include/asm), no errors at all. let me know which output file is of interest and I'll attach it here for someone to try, this was using the .config that came with the tar

Yap the config that came with the kernel is likely to be from the Pulse Mini ;)

Just use the config from our big Pulse and you will get errors too :(

There isn't a .config in the tar, at least not in the one i've got. Can you post the config.

Just got it to build successfully. I'll have a quick go at booting it, but I really need to get some sleep (its 3am here).

There is one, it is kernel/.config

Here in this topic you find the pulse version

Boot loop. I have a few ideas why. I'll look at it more tomorrow.

Was it much work to patch the rest?

I'll be on it tomorrow too (maybe a bit later than you, its 19:46 over here :) ).

I'm quite sure that we'll get this kernel booting ;)

We couldn't do much more with it than get it booting, actually.

But until we get the source of our kernel its good practice :(

Best regards,

BigBear

Out of interest, what (in theory) could be done with the Pulse mini source?
Chances are the Pulse Mini source is based from the Pulse source, and since the Pulse mini runs 2.1, with some work*, it should work with the Pulse too.

* - typically you should only need to #define PHONE_TYPE PULSE or similar, but Huawei are 'tards, breaking the code as they hack it for the Mini

I dont understand how did you compile out of box?
Well, it's a Pulse mini kernel source blob. So it should be quite easy to compile it for the Pulse Mini "out of the box".

Yes, but Tom G seemed to say he compiled for Pulse.

There is a config option in the pulse one:

MSM_7200A_ADSP

but the source doesnt mention it.

however, there is an other one:

MSM_ADSP

that is referred.

are they the same?

edit:

No, it isnt, it seems so.

U8110 is a 7x25 device, U8220 is a 7200 one.

This kernel does not contain the 7200 sources, it has to be added from the original kernel source. This is the reason of lots of missing symlink.

edit2:

there is no 7200 in android kernel source

No, but what is the point of saying "Still doesn't work yet" 25 times over?

If you want up-to-the-minute news, you need to subscribe to the developers twitter accounts ;)

everybody stopped working on it?

I tried to get FroYo working today, sorry ;)

What would you prefer, FroYo or a working Pulse Mini kernel?

Tell me because I'm interested in both :(

Best regards,

How about a Pulse mini Froyo kernel :)

You would be GOD on the pulse mini scene

Whats wrong with the kernel we are using atm?

just does not support swap:) that's why I want a wapping kernel: ))

our biggest problem is low memory, so swap/compcache support is important.

Fair enough, so we build a custom kernel and then put froyo on it?

Sorry, Ive been busy the last couple days.

I didn't do much patching, mostly just disabled the failing modules. Disabled most of the camera stuff. Disabled 1 of the 3 touchscreen drivers (why are there 3 touchscreen drivers configured?). These features shouldn't be needed to boot, once we have a booting kernel then we can try fixing problems.

I downloaded the Froyo source yesterday and did a compile of it unmodified. Getting that booting will be my main focus for now.

Does anyone know if android compiles on 64 bit systems now? Last time I tried there were issues. I compiled it yesterday on an old athlon dual core and it took half the day, it would save a lot of time if I could start doing compiles on my quad core core2.

Ah okay, I compiled FroYo too yesterday ;)

But for me it is stuck at mfd_lines_count_mismatch or something like that.

Although this is pretty sure not the reason for Android to be hanging ...

Did you try to boot it?

Any success?

I tried it with our kernel and it's ramdisk and also with the FroYo ramdisk.

I don't know if there are still problems with compiling on 64 bit systems, I only know that the Android source tree contains a toolchain path for linux-x86_64, but I don't know if that works without problems... I never tried that.

I will try to patch all errors instead of deactivating modules.

The only needed driver for the touchscreen is tm1319, I patched this a lot of times ...

You can drop the other ones.

Best regards,

BigBear

BigBear, did you ever get your previous attempt at 2.1 to boot? The one you were working on before Huawei released theres to you? I'm assuming not, else you wouldn't be playing with the Mini source.
