Hi!
I would like to share couple of my recipes with you. Some of them have
more functionality than I have needed, so those parts are not tested.
Some are not tested at all, just tested to bitbake without complaints.
Recipes:
1) kernel module for isl 12026 rtc.
I rewrote buglabs driver so that there is none of the buglabs
architecture dependent parts.
All the functionality of original code is maintained, in fact ioctl
functionality was disabled in the original code. Now it's enabled.
Doubts:
a) Interrupt line is not connected. Therefore, I wrote the code so,
that interrupt code can be cut off by bitbake variable. Anyhow,
interrupt related code is not tested.
b) chip internal eeprom. I have not tried to read/write to isl 2026
eeprom - code is there, though.
c) Basic communication with chrony (ntp) works fine. However, if
enable hwclock tuning, chrony hangs. This may be related with that
interrupt communication that is not enabled in my set-up.

2) chrony
Version available in Ångstöm (chrony_git.bb) does not install all the
necessary, like chrony daemon and client binaries. I fixed those and
added some start-up scripts.
I also upgraded chrony to newer version.
Doubts:
a) Hwclock tuning hangs chrony - it can be related to missing
interrupt functionality in my rtc set-up (see above).
b) If-up trigger does not work quite well with dhcp. Dhcp connection
seems not to be quite 'UP' when if-up trigger is taking place. Chrony
seems to stay in offline quite frequently in this situation. There
should be better triggers to switch chrony online when connection has
been really established.

3) sakis3g (http://www.sakis3g.org/)
Bitbakes, but I have not even tried it yet. One problem with the
recipe is that sakis3g provides only the latest sources - not other
revisions. Therefore my recipe provides the copy of sakis sources.

4) usb-modeswitch
Latest version of usb-modeswitch (1.2.3).
Bitbake runs without complaints both with and without tcl (install and
install-static switches)
I inserted bitbake variable to select this installation flavor
(default is install-static).
I have not tried this, yet. In fact, testing sakis3g and this are kind
of tied together.

So, this is the list to share with anyone interested. Unfortunately
testing is not 100% proof - far from that. Anyhow, first steps have
been taken as recipes are written.

BR,
Matti
