Hi Folkz! me and a couple of friends are porting android to the Meizu M8. We already have it up an running and stuff, but without the support for the built in hardware. So at this time, no GSM Wifi bluetooth etc is working, and i searched the net a thousand times for informations regearding linux and the hardware components. So i decieded to write to this list in hope of finding someone who can give a clue of where to find infos on these components.
First: The phone uses a samsung s3c6410 processor, and is roughly based on the samsung smdk6410 bsd board. We have android running, eg touchscreen/usb/sound works and now we are trying to get some comunications to work, 1) Wlan: Its a SPI Samsung swl-2480 card, which is powerd by a marvell 8686 wlan chip. Driver for this module can be found in the kernel wireless parts. The problem here is the spi interface. Im trying to get a generic s3c_spi driver to compile and load. My question is: would this be eneugh for android? can i assume that the wlancard works with a spi master driver, or are such devices controlled directyl trhough the interface without the need of a driver? 2) GSM baseband. There is a infineon s-gold 2 (pmb 8876) edge baseband processor used in the device. Problem with this: i dont know nothing about it and there are not much informations about this on the internet. i already tried to send some AT to every UART but didnt got an answer. I think the chip must be connected through an uart with the main cpu and should roughly behave like a hayes compatible modem. But because there no answers on the uart the chips is a) not powerd on. Is there a need for such chips to get powerd on? b) the device just dont answers to AT command like i expect. c) the device is not connected through uart Its the same baseband chip like in iphone, so i hop anyone has some informations about this device and is willing to share his knowldge with us. Any help and any bit of informations are really appriciated -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
