(kernel) sources for tcc8902

Whether means it that the telechip team will make the high-grade 2.2?

 

yay. downloading for hacking purposes

maybe i'll learn how to cook a rom for the coby mid-7015 (at the very least, i'm going to get some more /data space.)

 

Hi, I am looking mostly for the kernel sources of tcc8902 or maybe rockchip rk2818.
I saw some information, including this website http://apad.gen-x.co.nz/index.php, the guys over there seem to build some kernels themeselves, but it is not really documented, And what you can download from them is just binaries.

To get my intentions clear: I want a pocketable Notebook with touch-typable keyboard. And I don't want a bulky one with atom cpu in it, albeit the vaio P is rather nice, too expensive though.
That means: get a 5" or 7" tablet, knock off the case, get a keyboard out of a psion 5, 3D-print a new case that accomodates the tablets hardware plus the keyboard, get a decent OS running on it.
So basically an updated version of a hp jornada 720 + netbsd

So regarding the OS, is it possible to get some GNU/Linux running on some android tablet?

 

Telechips 8902 Kernelsources and android eclair sources:
https://www.telechips.com/technical_support/kor/opensource/opensource_list.asp#none
use the link in internet explorer if firefox fails to start the download (that happened to me)

 

thx, bet that was a nice christmas present to some folks out there

 

The only thing in the eclair zip is a modified webkit. I'm using the kernel sources to modify the stock 2.6.35 sources to possibly update my coby kyros to froyo. The kernel from telechips is 2.6.29. I don't know what version of android you want, but that will let you run 2.1 eclair.

 

hi I_n,

as mentioned i wanted to install some GNU/Linux - not Android. I'll propably start with debian cause that's what powers my other boxes. Will propably mainly run vim, ssh, psi+, firefox and thunderbird and some mpd client. As I said I want some pocketable Notebook including keyboard, which makes android and its touch interface obsolete.

So how do you extract the changes and port them to 2.6.35?

 

I generated a diff between the stock 2.6.29 and the telechips 2.6.29. And I'm now adding the changes to the stock 2.6.35 as necessary. I'm hoping it works with minimal compile time breakage.

 

Hi all.
I wish to build kernel for Telechips TCC8902 SoC for install Debian to my android tablet (i think - kexec will work for boot this kernel). Starting Debian over VNC is not good idea because with Android device have not enough RAM for full featured work.
Now i trying to build custom kernel from telechips site. I use Debian Sid + emdebian toolchain gcc-4.3-arm-linux-gnueabi (for solve trouble with depends i installed one required library from Debian Lenny).

Commands for build that i use (with exception of configure kernel):

Code:

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
make

And i have this output (last try):

Code:

$ make

What i do wrong? May be i not installed some required libraries?
Also i think compiler warnings is not important.

P.S.
System Type -> TCC hdmi options in menuconfig mades error - need to off this options for normal start of building process.

P.P.S.
Sorry for my bad english.

 

Ok, Thanks.
May be exist other way to get kernel for use with kexec system call? Or building vanilla kernel with some modules from telechips kernel?

 

There is an older kernel from Linux BSP which is possible to build, but there are missing drivers for LCD display, I wrote instructions here: http://androtab.info/telechips/howtos/linux-kernel (unfortunalely the server is under maintenance right now).

 

someone could compile the kernel modules Bluetooth gingerbread to test withthe Coby MID7015, it lacks the modules btusb.ko.

 

Does anyone have the Kernel (gingerbread) 2.6.35 of Telechips. They took the site. If someone has posted the download link. please
