[Gta04-owner] gta04-kernel Monday Merge: 3.18-rc7 / project status presented on OHSW

[Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller]

Hi,
I have done the regular monday merge and we are now based on v3.18-rc7:

http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/3.18-rc7

In addition I have modified the configuration so that WiFi works on the Pandaboard ES
(which is using a WL1751 chip). This also makes (the old style) “iwconfig” work again on
the GTA04 so that older snippets from the web can be used to play around.

This chip on the PandaBoard is (almost) the same that will be used for WiFi/Bluetooth/FM
radio on the Neo900 and Pyra-Handheld (and optionally on the GTA04A5).

Note that there is still an issue with the omapfb and the numbering/sequence of LCD
and VENC (TVout) so that I have not yet managed to properly configure Xorg (as soon
as it starts it tries to resize the LCD framebuffer to the dimensions of the TVout and leaves
none of both enabled).

Secondly, I did give a presentation together with Marek about the gta04-kernel project last weekend:
