Status update:
Sound is working. Turns out that the ALSA support in the Ingenic
kernel just doesn't work. OSS does, though the implementation is a bit
buggy the sound quality is not affected as far as I know.
I just need to get the keys working and we'll have miniSD + video +
sound + keys, just enough to play emulators and other apps, as long as
one doesn't mind booting into linux just for that and resetting when
finished to get back to the original firmware. Using linux as a full
blown firmware substitute won't be possible until the rest of the
hardware is supported.
Key support is trivial and I'm sure I'll get it working this weekend.
At the moment the only way to boot linux is by using the USB boot
mode, so a host PC is required. As you know I spent quite a lot of
time trying to tap into the original firmware boot process, but got
stuck with the TLB exception issue.
I'll try to figure out an alternate way to get dual boot working.
If Linux slips out this weekend … ah well, looks like I might have to return those Eurovision Song Contest tickets.
Isnt this GREAT or what, keep the good work up, Booboo
!!!
