JB kernel Source

[vampirefo.]

Looks like the JB Kernel Source has been released, I am on my way to wrestling so can't do a good check on it right now, I did download it, but that's as far as I got.

Open Source Code for Jelly Bean update ? IdeaTab A2109A

Just got home from wrestling, ran config through code, built a kernel haven't tested it, just wanted to see if source would build a kernel, the source needs a couple modifications, after that, the source will produce a kernel, will test kernel tomorrow, going to be now.

I just flashed kernel to see if it would boot, kernel works just fine.

Anybody willing to try and get CM10.1 running now we have the source?

I recall from my optimus 2x days that tegra chipsets are a pain, but what are the chances of getting something up and running?

Infact - if I put a poll in the cyanogenmod forums I wonder how many people would vote?

If we can prove the popularity of it we may get a maintainer.

That is a good thing to hear!! Looking forward to see your custom kernel that complied with JB source

I believe some people are getting their hand on developing CM10 for our tablet already.

But I am not sure about the detail. I also read a comment somewhere i dont remember that, the developer are waiting for some kind of approve. This information is not 100% accurate because i could understanded it wrong :P

I hope that is the case! Would love to see CM 10 on this tablet.

This is great news! I wish I could learn kernel development but its turning out to be to complicated for me. I'm trying to learn little bits at a time but I'm glad that at least your working on it and know what your doing.

Hi vampirefo, you are talking about that the source needs a couple modifications.
Could you please share this? Or telling what you are mean with this modifications?
Thanks,
Andreas

I use a custom built linaro toolchain 'arm-lenovo-linux-gnueabi', I had to modify the makefile to allow the toolchain's optimal flags. The source is unable to build wifi module, so I removed the module as it causes build problems. To me it appears Lenovo chose not to include the necessary code to correctly compile the wifi module.
