[kernel] New HC3.2 kernel source (2011-10-04) - Acer Iconia A500

Just browsing the acer web site and find this. Maybe someone is interested in it.
(Don't know if someone has posted it, if yes, I will delete this thread...)

(From: http://global-download.acer.com/Ste...SC=PA_6&LC=en&OS=a05&FS=O01&Category=Document )

It seems to have kernel source... I assume for the new a501 update... (used it for the cifs/tun modules I posted in my a500 rooted stock 3.2 rom.
The config from the a500 ota didn't quite cleanly work with it however, so I assume an oddly named package in the a500 files is the source for the a500 3.2 package..
http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...A TAB&Step3=A500&OS=a05&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6
problem is the tar.gz in the zip of this second package is reporting an error everytime I try to extract it.

I did in General threads.

The file names in acer a500 support seem to have been updated in the last 48h, also I was at last able to extract the zip and included tar.gz.
So it seems we at last have the 3,2 acer a500 kernel source for proper review.
http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=4&modelId=3851

Nice, at least it compiled without making any changes this time. I think they were compiling on Windows before as many of the source files needed to be renamed when compiling in Linux since they are case sensitive.
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to going back to my own custom kernel for 3.2.

By the way, I just tried to compile the new HC3.2 kernel (dated 2011/10/04) and by far it is the most stable and complete 3.2 kernel source from Acer. Keep it up

is this the stock kernel for acer a500 and i can just flash this in recovery or have i completely misunderstood this.

It's the source. Compile it, make a boot image, and you can.

[Q] WANTED: OpenVPN tun.ko and tap.ko for MyTouch 3G OTA Froyo (FRG83D)

I am using the Official T-Mobile Froyo 2.2.1 OTA Update.
Build Number: FRG83D
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-27237-gbe746fb
Note that the Kernel version is slightly different from the Official 2.2 Froyo OTA Update that was on Droid. (I think it was Droid... dunno.)
I was able to root my phone with that T-Mobile ROM using SuperOneClick 1.5.5 under Windows. I installed BusyBox using the APK in the Market.
Now I want to install OpenVPN. I have not been able to locate a download of the tun.ko or tap.ko modules for this kernel version.
- Can one of you crack developers post a link? All I really want is a binary.
- Barring an easy fix like that, can someone tell me how to find that exact, specific kernel tree? I am happy to try compiling it myself, but I don't know how to get the correct tree (so that the compiled .ko files will have matching kernel versions). Also, I don't know how to compile the kernel for Android. (If someone can point me to a HOWTO, plus the right kernel source, I will try it and upload the binaries if I am successful.)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Really? Nobody?

[Q] how to flash from AOSP builded images?

Hello!
Im currently trying to build a vannila froyo 2.2 rom from the source! How do i flash the images when im ready? Is there something like fastboot on the g1 or htc magic?

I haven't had the time to try to build myself, but wouldn't you be better off starting with the Samsung open source for your carrier/model rather than trying to figure out all the changes you'd need to make to get AOSP to run on the Tab?

Erhh - Samsung open source only contains the kernel. You need the rest of Android, which is what the AOSP is for!

Dave
Don't know about the others, but the one for the SCH-I800 on VZW is not just the kernel. All of the things like the custom notification bar/settings for white and black levels, et cetera, go well beyond vanilla android in the Tab. I haven't gone through the platform.tar, but it has notices about stuff for, TouchWiz, et cetera (now whether it can actually run as built directly from what they've made available all bets are off, I know a direct compile of the kernel code didn't work for me, but I haven't had time to do more than a simple straight attempt to build and may have screwed something simple up). It's around 85MB for the DJ11 code for Verizon.
Edit: I'd understand if you needed most of it from AOSP though for a full build, and stand corrected.
And how do i flash the created system.img and data.img? The kernel will be in the zImage format as im going to build the kernel from samsung's opensource files!

You don't. Samsung uses different partition layout and formats.
Use the Samsung tar files to overlay over AOSP as described in their readme file.
Ah ok! Thank you
from Readme file:
How to build:
< Kernel >
1. Unzip SPH-P100_Kernel.tar.
( You can find SPH-P100_Kernel.tar in the same directory with this README.txt . )
2. Refer another "README.txt" in the tar file to build the kernel source code.
< Platform >
* NOTICE *
Galaxy Tab is launched in many countries, including Europe and North Amarica.
S/W is almost the same but there are some differences between the European version(GT-P1000) and the US Sprint version(SPH-P100).
The open source codes to be open here are only the differences.
1. Get Android open source code:
: version info - Android froyo 2.2 (android-cts-2.2_r2)
( Download site : http://source.android.com )
2. Get GT-P1000 open source code
: GT-P1000_OpenSource.zip
( Download site : http://opensource.samsung.com )
Unzip it, then you will see the file GT-P1000_Platform.tar.bz2 which includes the platform source code.
3. Overwrite GT-P1000 Platform OpenSource to the Android open source.
4. Get SPH-P100 open source code:
: SPH-P100_OpenSource.zip
( Download site : http://opensource.samsung.com , version info : DJ14 )
5. Overwrite SPH-P100_Platform_DJ14 OpenSource to the Android + GT-P1000(European) Platform open source code.
6. Overwrite the Platform source code that comes from the Sprint version(SPH-P100_Platform_DJ30).
7. Do "make"

If I understand correct. (for the kernel at least) You could just take a package like monks then swap out the zImage and *.ko files for the samsung ones. resign the zip. Then flash it from the clockworkmod recovery.
I believe we need repo init -b android-cts-2.2_r2 ... and overlay the Samsung tar contents on top of it.

Just a simple question. Is this ROM based on 4.010.40, as that's the latest US release. Just asking because your description stops at 4.010

New ROM :: 407 OFFICIAL GB ROM IS OUT

Hello, I'm NeCoritol
Moments ago, Dell streak 5's OFFICIAL GB ROM was OUT
(Sorry, my English)
Region :: Korea, Republic of
Carrier :: Olleh (KT)
DOWNLOAD :
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_407_20707_14.pkg
Yay! Hope USSD fixed.
What recovery do we use to install it?
Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
Use 350 Recovery.
Let's see...if the timeline holds true for people in the United States, that means
Dell "should" release it sometime in what, August of 2012? LOL.
By that time, should be well into use the Samsung Galaxy Note.
Lack of support from Dell is probably the #1 reason a lot of us, even though they
love the device, won't be tempted to purchase another Dell device

Here U R
build date Oct 20 2011. and what is the changelog from 406?
Will this work okay an AT&T in the US and be reliable?
Rom:

Dell Stage 1.5
Swype 2.27.69.19339
BB version is named GAUSB1A1406214-xx instead of GAUSB1A140714-xx
It's exactly as simple as it sounds, it is only a marginal update from 406, but it's an official PKG. Recommended to flash the pkg for the proper basebands as per the general recommendation. (ie. 360 for any froyo custom rom users and this one for any gingerbread custom rom users) Manually flashing the amss and dsp1 is NOT recommended if it can be avoided, now that it is out it CAN be avoided.
Guides:

No, you must use a region 14 stock recovery
Installed it works pretty quick. Hopefully wifi works good.

[Q] help build cp210x.ko on Iconia A500 3.2.1

Hi,
I really need the cp210x.ko module, but I couldn't successfully build it properly for my Iconia A500 with 3.2.1 and 2.6.36.3+ kernel.. I get the following when I tried insmod my cp210x.ko build using ubuntu cross compiler approach:
cp210x: version magic '2.6.36.3+ preempt mod_unload ARMv5 ' should be '2.6.36.3+ SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '
A little search showed that I need to build it in ARMv7, and need to set the kernel config to build SMP kernel. In this thread I saw a few modules offered but couldn't post reply as a new xda-developers user, so I post here. My A500 has already been rooted via the su (version 3) method posted few days ago.
Please help me build the cp201x.ko module - I am kinda stuck..
Bill
Bill,
Might I suggest you look at loading one of the many custom ROM's that will have what you want? If you are rooted, then install CWM (ACER Recovery from the marketplace) which should allow you to load custom ROM's. In order to load the cp201x.ko module you'd have to recompile the kernel and people doing this type of work normally are building custom ROM's.
Anyway, just my 2ยข
Thanks for the advice. I am testing Thor ROM at the moment. Cool..
From what I can read and see within various ROMs /system/lib/modules, very few (out of total possible) kernel modules made it to these custom ROMs - mostly to get game controller to work, extra filesystems, or networking protocols. USB-to-serial modules are rare and certainly my search didn't turn up cp210x.
Cross-compiling the kernel source on Gentoo is mentioned to be better supported then ubuntu, due to its crossdev toolkit, as I'm trying to figure out how to specify target ARMv7 instead of ARMv5 I'm defaulting to when cross compiling from Ubuntu's arm-linux-gnueabi-*
I'm wondering if various nice ROM cooks have releases of their modified kernel source - or might be willing to help me build the just the cp210x as a .ko module, e.g. in the .config, "CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CP210X=m" - I've found a post few months ago where a successful build and insertion of cp210x module was done but he had some problems when initiating communication on it - I fear the worst but hope for the best, and would like to try that myself as I've successfully talked to my device through the cp210x module on Linux.
Or, if any tips on how to build kernel (just the modules really) properly e.g. As Thor's ROM version number hints at need for some custom and virtualized build environment, I'm looking for the quick and dirty solution if cooking ROMs/kernel/ko's has steep learning curve..
Any help much appreciated!
Bill
It looks like I was speeding down the the wrong track last few days
Apparently the /proc/config.z copied off the a500 device was missing something - and how strange that is - so I had to enable SMP and choose Tegra 2 ARM processor using "make menuconfig" to get the vermagic on the build module (e.g. modinfo after successful make modules) to show ARMv7 and SMP, build from my Ubuntu cross-compiling setup. I haven't tested this new cp210x.ko on a500 yet (as it's currently running one of the customized ROMs that has different EXTRAVERSION/vermagic to the stock Acer kernel source version 2.6.36.3 that I'm based on.
I think it'd be really wonderful if various Android kernel and kernel module makers release their kernel config, sync'ed to each ROM or kernel release, so people like me may independently build special purpose kernel modules with more efficiency and accuracy (to target their customized kernel), and we can recontribute back to to a growing list of tested and working modules for corresponding devices.
Bill
Hmm... Silly. It looks like Thor's ROM already has cp210x build-in, not as a loadable module but compiled in. My device is reported to attach to ttyUSB0! How nice
Thanks!
Bill
For those who are interested, the cp210x.ko module build using latest mentioned approach, e.g. modified kernel config.z, generate module that appear to insert correctly into lightspeed and taboonay roms (neither has this USB-to-serial module) - with a little modification of the EXTRAVERSION variable in the Makefile.
Bill
CP210x and GT-P7500
Has anyone got CP210x module working with Samsung Tab GT-P7500? My problem is that the connected USB-device doesn't create node dev/ttyUSB*. I have spent lot of time trying to figure this one out.
I have tried 1) Manually compiling the linux kernel that has cp210x support as a module. After compiling the module I tried insmoding the cp210x.ko to a running kernel, but even though it seemed to load and unload all right, it did not give me the wanted results. It does not create device node /dev/ttyUSB*. I have also tried modifying ueventd.rc for adding this row, but I am guessing it is only relevant for permissions after the node is created.
Also 2) loading cyanogenmod 10 (which should have cp210x support) to tablet but it doesnot create the desired /dev/ttyUSB* node. I can see device file under dev/bus/usb/001/ but the node does not exist.
I am going to try making needed files for building custom kernel and inserting to tablet. However, I have 0 experience on this, I think it can be tough one.
Any help would be welcome, thanks.
