[Pipo-Project] M7Pro kernel

[raxy]

I'm on the verge of concluding that the source kernel tree from Pipo for M7P is too much trouble to be made bootable,
unless another fellow developper prooves the opposite.

[TriA]

Just for information, possibly this may be of use:
AMPAC's chip AM6476 (WiFi + GPS + BT), which is installed in M7pro, is combo of Broadcom BCM43362 (WiFi + SDIOv2) + Broadcom BCM 2076 (GPS/Glonass + BT + FMradio)

Thank You Tria !

I've built the pipo provided m7_SDK kernel and made it boot

download and test

I've transferred the GPS & BT config across to my sources and built 1.32

Hi, it's booting well even if my touch screen is quite broken (son's fault not yours )

Oh dear!

Does GPS & BT work in 1.32? If so, I'll push to GIT.

Can you push your additional govenors too?

Hi,
with which Android system partition do we need to test these kernels ?
We have the choice between quite a bunch of them which we already have at hand... RRileyROM 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 freaktabROM, my rom...
tks

As a developer you can pretty much do whatever you want.

I saw you wanted a working kernel from the official source so I spent an hour this morning 'fixing' it and porting the GPIO settings across to my multi-kernel source which no-one has touched since I stopped. Bearing in mind I pay for it to be hosted this does irk somewhat.

I'm on holiday this week and next with my family every day, so everyone is cool with me 'dabbling' a little. I'll monitor the thread during this time and help further if that kicks starts the development but if not then we need to work out what to do with the hosting costs.

[raxy]

if you talk of the github accnt, then I think feaktab should pay for it for hosting all shared spaces for the devs, but here might not be the best place to solve that issue.
anayway, thank you for making the pipo kernel source at last bootable.
regarding your multi tablet kernel source, factually, no pipo dev seem to do something with it.

Dee, for "kernel_piposdk_v01.zip",
After tests along with latest Randy's ROM based on my android 4.4.4 : m7pro does not boot after flash (of only kernel.img alone, then kernel.img + parameter), only clicks and black screen, not even able to boot into recovery anymore.
Same behavior when doing a full reflash of all .img from Randy's ROM based on my android 4.4.4 but using your kernel.img

Where did you get sources, and the knowledge, to compile a 4.4.4 image for a tablet? I'm aware Oma's done this. It would be good to get everyone working on the same source code.

[raxy]

my 4.4.4 source are from friends in connection with rockchip (which is not OMA), so I cannot share them until they inject in some aosp-ish in replacement of unsharable code chunks.
for the knowledge, i have the chance to have a helpfull coach willing to explain and help, and to be able to learn a bit fast just from reading sh scripts.

How do you think we got the 4.4.2 sources? From friends at Rockchip.

tgray reported backlight is reversed and auto brightness not working. v1.32.2 fixes the problem.

changelog:

1. Altered PWM_Effect to 0 for M7Pro
2. Amended steps in lightsensor module
