Introduction

kernel hardware interfaces

Modem

  • The modem is already working with libsamsung-ipc + samsung-ril with the following howto:
    • checkout cyanogenmod ics-release
    • Add theses 3 patches: [1] [2] [3]
    • make libsamsung-ril
    • adb root;adb remount; adb push the resulting library to the target
    • rm/move the proprietary modem libraries
    • setprop rild.libpath /system/lib/libsamsung-ril.so
    • killall rild
    • adb logcat -b main and adb logcat -b radio

Status(Under android with libsamsung-ipc and samsung-ril under android ICS):

  • calls(with sound)
  • SMS
  • Data
  • MMS should work
  • USSD

Screen

The graphics subsystem of the omap is called OMAP DSS.

Activation

Here's how to activate the LCD output instead of the default HDMI. 

echo "lcd" > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager

Sound

Sound works out of the box if you use the right scenarios:

  • boot in cyanogenmod, chroot into the SHR installation after mounting its /dev /proc /sys

while playing some music with the speakers do: 

alsactl -f scenario store #under Android

And restore it in SHR: 

alsactl -f scenario restore #under SHR

Wifi

The wifi driver is standard and compatible with cfg80211 kernel framework and so it's compatible with WEXT and nl80211 if you activate the right kernel options:

  • Compile WEXT and remove CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK
root@tuna:~# ls /lib/firmware/
bcm4330.hcd          bcmdhd.cal           ducati-m3.bin        fw_bcmdhd.bin        fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin  fw_bcmdhd_p2p.bin    hdcp.keys            mms144_ts_rev31.fw   mms144_ts_rev32.fw

GPS

see The replicant article on it

Camera

Has probably a free software camera library in android...but....uses a new interface(not v4l2) which is called TILER.... That is really problematic unless we find a way to use it in gstreamer...

See https://www.gitorious.org/gstreamer-omap for OMAP support in gstreamer.

Bluetooth

from init.tuna.rc: 

# permissions for bluetooth.
        setprop ro.bt.bdaddr_path "/factory/bluetooth/bt_addr"
        chown bluetooth bluetooth ro.bt.bdaddr_path
        chown bluetooth bluetooth /dev/ttyO1
        chmod 0600 /dev/ttyO1
        chmod 0660 /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
        chown bluetooth bluetooth /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
        chown bluetooth bluetooth /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/type

service hciattach /system/bin/brcm_patchram_plus --enable_hci --no2bytes --enable_lpm \
        --tosleep 50000 --baudrate 3000000 --use_baudrate_for_download --i2s=1,1,0,1 \
        --patchram /vendor/firmware/bcm4330.hcd /dev/ttyO1
        class main
        user bluetooth
        group bluetooth net_bt_admin
        disabled
        oneshot

NOTE: The steps below are not needed any longer. The bug in the kernel was fixed with https://github.com/shr-distribution/linux/commit/1b57754aa578bc8617bed4f3926cf92219aa55f4

compile the hidd wrapper 

root@tuna:~# ./hidd --connect "00:12:A1:69:41:77"
=>it works

Graphics

The device is using a Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX 540.

Drivers and userland libraries can be found here:

Openwebos graphics requirements:

  • luna-sysmgr needs EGL/GLES/GLES2 for accelerated graphics
    • qt4-palm needs to be compiled against EGL/egl.h
