Good morning all, I used to use openzaurus before OE came along. In fact
I used to maintain a build for the SL-5600 (poodle?) until it broke.
It is so nice to see how professional the project now is compared to
when the tools were all shell scripts with hardcoded bin locations!
Awesome work.
Anyhow someone at work has given me a Zaurus c860 (c7x0). Playing around
with angstrom for a bit has highlighted a few things:
Firstly the udc clock bug, which is now fixed in kernel 2.6.25 (Bug
4259), and a problem with WPA (bug 4180).
I would like to tackle both to push the fixes into the standard distro.
FYI I have read the wiki which details policy, but these questions apply
to advice on where to start my patching work.
I have currently got a building copy of angstrom (it is sooo much easier
now guys, thanks so much!)
Taking 4259 (pxa2xx_udc)
This is fixed in 2.6.25 but I am guessing you won't want to bump the
kernel version for this. If I backport the patch (might be easy, maybe
not) would that be the best approach? Should I checkout a specific
version of the build tree to patch against, and if so what.
I haven't thought about how to fix the arc4 issue, apparently you can
get some success in building the crypto modules into the kernel. This is
a significant change, I don't know how much they will enlarge the kernel
by. I guess this is one for discussion.
Looking forward to playing with Zauruses (Zauri?) again,
