Development environment

 * arm-linux-gnueabi is needed (or armv5te)
 * Setup cross-compiler. Lastest glibc, binutils and linux-headers are fine.
 * GCC up to 4.7 series.
 * DO NOT USE 4.8, it sometimes generate broken code. (had to verify and send upstream report)
 * 4.7.3(-r1) is well tested
 * 4.6.4 work well too

Bootloader (HaRET)
Version starting by 0.5.0 supported, 0.5.2 recommended.

It's not going to boot, if device was suspended. If this happend, reboot your device.

Is recommended to boot from SD card, because it leave MMC initialized. You can also boot from internal memory. Booting from USB stick is not recommended, because it works only sometimes.

default.txt sample: set MTYPE 1454 set KERNEL zImage set RAMADDR 0xA0200000 set RAMSIZE 0x03E00000 set cmdline "root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10" bootlinux In order do:
 * set MTYPE to N560 (doesn't matter really, just need to match mach-type in kernel)
 * define "zImage" as kernel file
 * device RAMADDRess start at 0xA000 0000, BUT we can't use it from start. We need start at 0xA020 0000! (some device firmware using first 2MB of memory, so not interfere)
 * RAMSIZE has to be reduced from default 64MB (detected by HaRET) to 62M! Otherwise it'll not boot. We moved memory start, so we have consider it.
 * commandline - root device (usb stick, first partition), 10 seconds delay before boot (to enough time to plug in stick).
 * all defined, so bootlinux.

Linux port status
Tasks to do: you can check trello
 * Kernel: 3.12
 * rtc-pxa can't be loaded at boot time => kernel panic. As module it's fine.
 * Kernel: 3.8 ok
 * No specific problems

What works

 * Basic functionality
 * GPIOs
 * EGPIOs
 * USB host
 * USB OTG
 * LCD
 * SPI
 * Touchscreen (need improvements)
 * I2C
 * WM8750S mixer for audio (addr 0-001a)
 * I2S (Audio)
 * jack 3.5 works, internal speaker needs more work
 * All buttons including power button
 * limited SD card
 * technically: only when SD is used right before kernel boot, then regulator gives power to SD slot and it works
 * simple: you need to boot from SD card or someway utilize it until kernel boots

Userspace
You can use ulozto.net/x6P845U8/to-okias-tar-bz2 Copying to USB stick with first partition formated with ext3 should be enough. Simple shell, with ssh enabled access and few tools. Thank to pc2005 for creating it. For ssh on computer do: ifconfig usb0 192.168.4.1 ssh root:pokus@192.168.4.2
