And that would be the last of my distractions

Geecko, he's right. Azeazezar is right. You can share everything with us (what do you want to do/what do you think about this project/what are you triying to do... etc.) :D

right now it's quite simple, with everything merged the kernel bootloops, and I can't get serial output because it crashes too early.
<geecko>
there's some modifications to do in arch/arm/mach-exynos (that's where it crashes), but i'm not 100% sure what to do for now
<sn0w14>
You said you will implement minimal code like the origen board and nexus 10 :D
<geecko>
sn0w14, i realized this wasn't necessary.
<sn0w14>
Why not?
<geecko>
because the panel drivers can work standalone. they don't depend on the framebuffer driver.
<sn0w14>
Great! :)
<geecko>
so this is sorted out
<geecko>
and that's a relief because it would have meant work on all panel drivers to adapt to the new code
<geecko>
actually there's some tiny dependencies but this can be workarounded. like early_suspend and late_resume calls (turn the panel on and off)
<sn0w14>
I would like to help you, but I only have Galaxy S2. Can I compile youe work? It is working to S2?
<sn0w14>
I saw Entropy512 works for S2. :D
<geecko>
sn0w14, this won't help for now. i need to get it working on one device first
<geecko>
and this device will be the Great Note.
<geecko>
my note.
<sn0w14>
Yeah! :D
<geecko>
hehe.
<geecko>
or more specifically Azeazezar's former Note :P
<sn0w14>
:)
<Azeazezar>
I knew you would take good care of my note.
<geecko>
hehehe.
<geecko>
once i get new ION + new Mali + new fb + new gralloc working together
<sn0w14>
But the ION is actually working?
<geecko>
yep the driver is working.
<sn0w14>
Can you check somehow if it's working properly?
<geecko>
new Mali = unsure
<geecko>
new fb = bootloops for now
<geecko>
new gralloc = just a blob to change
<geecko>
sn0w14, i can't be 100% sure, but it seems to work standalone
<geecko>
and i don't think i made mistakes during merging, so if it working on the Insignal kernel, it should work on ours
<geecko>
for Mali the problem is that we have r3p2-01rel2 kernel driver with r3p2-01rel0 blobs.
<sn0w14>
Maybe it's not working, the code is there, but this doesn't mean it's working/initialized/started.
<geecko>
sn0w14, it's used by our current gralloc.
<geecko>
someone told me that he got r3p2 blobs running with a r3p0 kernel driver. so there's no reason for our driver to fail with the blob
<geecko>
but everything is suppositions.

i can't be 100% sure each time, that's why it's so hard
<geecko>
i just have to keep going
<Azeazezar>
Yup. So, whats the plan to get the fb working? is it going to be trial and error?
<Azeazezar>
Or do you have a Plan
<geecko>
Azeazezar, well, that's the essence of programming :D
