[project] Drivers for the m8 hardware

This is a thread about m8 hardware and drivers for it.
I hope for support from many users here. This project should provide necessary informations for evow04, banxian, r3wDy, bill & Co. in developing Port android to meizu M8.

@evow04 & Co and Admin: correct me if anything is wrong/false

Here are what we have (thanks to evow04, banxian, r3wDy, bill, Loonix ....)

M8 hardware details:

1. CPU: Samsung S3C6410XH-53 0810 ARM;
2. Power management chip: Infineon PMB6812 V 1.62 pdf datasheet
3. Flash: Samsung KMCMG0000M-B998 256M (RAM) +8192 (NAND) MB ;
4. Wireless Module : Samsung swl-2480; 1.7V-1.9V, Data interface: SDIO, G-SPI (Host Interface)
5. Font: 2030WOWTQE.
6. GMS Processor: Infineon 8876 X 2.1 (seems to be) pdf datasheet
7. Bluetooth chipset: Samsung BTTM47C2SA (seems to be)
8. Audio codecs: Wolfson WM8753G pdf datasheet, Homepage WM8753 series
DRIVER SEE OPENMOKO, Code, Linux driver


M8 SE hardware details:

1. Audio codecs: Wolfson WM8993; info, linux driver
2. CPU: Samsung KAT00F00DF-A4YY 0928 ARM
3. Power management chip: Infineon PMB6812 V 1.62 pdf datasheet

Thanks tumi07,
this should make things easier to keep track on it.

Now let us see what source we can find,
and if someone finds that there is also other hardware used,
keep us posted!

**currently researching for wifi resources used in m8 girst gen.**

Drivers for the Wolfson WM8993 should be available directly from Wolfsons GIT server:

Source:
Linux driver for WM8993 released | Open Source at Wolfson Microelectronics

//EDIT:
They seem to have both Drivers (WM8753 and WM 8993) on their server:

wow that is good news!

more internal pictures

hi, guys, can I join in for coding the driver? any resource to help me get started will be appreciated.

welcom jerry_gzy!
we really need coders.

@ all coders:
if you want i can set up a subversion server to host your codes!?

welcom jerry_gzy!
Any help is highly appreciated.

what version of m8 do you own?
And maybe it is a good idea to try and compile an android kernel first with the driver support we have at the moment to see if you get thisone running.
This way you can check if you develop a driver that it works?
btw did you allready have a look here

Bpm, mirrors are allways welcome, where would you place it cause you need to keep in mind that when upping the data you will gain more traffic that could impact your main server.

there are free subversion servers on the net. (https://svn.vis.ethz.ch/)

we can use such one.
i do not think that there is so much traffic because this is only the source. there are not many people here which are able to make changes in kernel/drivers.

BPM, thanks for your reply.
This is some kind of gitorious i am thinking?

I am a bit scared of free/home/personal hosting solutions, cause all those information can disappear without any backup. (like the wiki suddenly got removed)

I think it is important to list the patches first, then add them somewhere on host.

Does anyone has any backup on the patches that are needed?
(like the ones that were mentionned in the wiki for disabling nandetc?)

edit; if one would use the code tags, is the amount of text still limited in 1 post?

Hi, guys, really happy to see you guys are so active.

I have a M8 8Gb version, but so far I have only installed the dual boot version of your Andriod.

I have created a group for this Andriod M8 developer | Google Groups

so let us meet up there.

Per-install

Java 1.5.0 in Ubuntu 9.10
go to Java SE Downloads - Previous Release - JDK 5 download JDK 5 update 22, this product is no longer officially supported, so need to submit a form and download from the link they send it to your email.
the file downloaded will be xxxx.rpm.bin

get rpm if you don’t have it, sudo apt-get install rpm
then run the bin file (./)

rmp –i xxxxx.rpm --orce-debian –nodeps

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_22/bin/java 50

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_22/bin/javac 50

sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zipcurl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386 lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev

other part follow Get source (Android Open Source Project)

remember to add PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin before run repo command

post install

eclipse IDE Using Eclipse (Android Open Source Project)

Thank you Jerry!
Because of the Java 1.5 problem and my stupidity i had defaulted to the old Ubuntu 8.04LTS version
well, my stupidity is still the same so i cant do jack for Android

can i join in ?
I am a student and i just can use Java and know some basic konwledges of linux

I have Meizu M8 SE

and, um i am studying C/C++

and can't use the edit button in a forum

I'm developper too.

But before to start really spend time in trying to understand what is done, what to do etc...

I'd like to know what kind of dev is needed (language, platform...?) and what are the needed skills and profiles ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

If i am correctly informed the main problem is at the moment that the drivers we have are not realy working or that we can not properly initialize them.
So in order to find out how to do it right our only source is at the moment the original CE Firmware.
I belive the Firmware needs to be disassembled (in parts) to see how the Storage, the Sound device and the Telephony device is initialized.

And sorry @cw881014 i am a bit cynic sometimes.

I will write a guide with the actual status, what need next to be done and which skills are needed to participate.
Right now imn out of time, i will do it next week or so

thanks r3wDy,
i allready noticed your progress in the wiki
And i am happy that we are still atracting new dev´s!
