Hi, Maybe one of our testing tools can help you. It's available at https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/orangutan It provides you with a simple command language for sending touch events to b2g. You probably don't need the kernel module. Best regards Thomas Am 01.01.2013 20:59, schrieb Noit: > On T

Hi, Have a look at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers?hl=de-DE#panda Version 20120430 should work. As Anil wrote, you probably only need to adapt the build script. If you want to help, it would be great if you could open a bug report, cc me, and attach a patch for the problem.

Hi Pratik, You can copy files that are specific to your device by adding them to PRODUCT_COPY_FILES. But the content really depends on the device, such as 'touchscreen.idc'. If you have extra files or firmware that needs t be copied, just put them there. I think you need to specify some values in
